Time of Reading 12:45 to 1:00 P. M. Eastern Standard Time. ..., N.Y. (Physical Suggestion)
1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [903].
2. As we find, in the physical forces of the body, the reactions are very good.
3. If those principles, those activities are kept that are known in the experience to keep the body physically fit, these as we find should and will respond to not only the whole of the physical but the emotional - as well as a coordination between the two.
4. Hence little would be given as we find, other than counsel that this influence in the experience be adhered to.
5. Ready for questions.
6. (Q) Why in menstrual periods is there a small showing five or six days later? (A) This arises from the lack of the proper reaction in the system for the perfect coordination of the eliminations of the body. Hence as has been indicated, if there will be kept those activities in the body - or taken that known to bring about the normal influence and reaction to all portions of the organism, these tendencies will disappear and normalcy come about.
7. (Q) What is the effect of the Yoga breathing exercises, as given by Dr. [866], on my body? (A) These, as we have given, are good; and should be maintained for the varied conditions that arise in the experience of the body. It has been given before that these are most helpful. There are specific exercises and breathings for the varied activities upon the various organs, the varied activities of the glandular system. These, not too strenuous, are much

preferable to outside influences. For EVERY influence for corrective measures is to create within the activating body the awareness of its deficiency or its over or superfluous activity, and to bring about a COORDINANT condition, a cooperate condition in the body. And this - that it may be done in this body in a much better way and manner than in ninety-eight percent of others that may be found, even that would use the same expressions or same activity - is much preferable to drug or mechanical appliances or applications!
8. (Q) Should there be any additions or changes? (A) Rather the applications of that known, as has been indicated.
9. (Q) What is the proper posture for my meditations? (A) As has been indicated before, each individual is an entity, each individual has had and IS - not a law unto itself, but - a development unto THE LAW! That then becomes rather that which is to the entity the more expressive of that being sought to be attained in the experience. Thus as the entity has attained, as the entity has gained in itself, at times the pose or posture would be different. As these vary, meet same. Remember, how was it given of old? (which may never, never be improved upon!) In the offering of that which would cleanse the body, in the offering of that which would roll away those influences in the experiences of an individual, varied forms and manners were given that they (the forms) might to the ENTITY in its inner self find that response of doing and being in accord with the SOURCES from which aid, help and understanding is sought. Hence to each there comes a change. So to this entity. Do not let it become as a rote only, nor as form only; but as chord answering to chord, as the vibrations from each portion of the body to the one purpose in self of being in accord with the divine within, in body, in mind. THUS it becomes the better. In some periods it will be found that soft music would aid, though the music may be made by the very activity OF the concording of the vibrations through the body.

At other periods odors may aid, though these - too - may be as an emanation from the altars of sacrifice within self; or those postures that may bring into play the activity of them all.
10. (Q) In her daily life, is she able to discriminate between the divine guidance and that of desire? (A) Every one may answer self in this. As He has so oft given, if ye will be silent - even though a moment - ye know. For it is not in the storm, nor in the rage, nor the tempest - but in the still small voice.
11. (Q) May I now combine my home interests successfully with the ... Group Players in ...? [See 903-2, Life Rdg., on 3/17/26.] (A) When there is within self's own satisfaction not a neglecting of home duties, home ties, BY being able to shift some of the responsibilities of same to help or aid, yes. Until this is, no.
