This psychic reading given by Edgar Cayce at his home on Arctic Crescent, Virginia Beach, Va., this 28th day of July, 1933, in accordance with request made by self - Mrs. [376], new Associate Member of the Ass'n for Research & Enlightenment, Inc., recommended by Mr. [1565].

Present: Edgar Cayce; Gertrude Cayce, Conductor; Gladys Davis, Steno. Mildred Davis.

TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body, [376].
2. Now, as we find, the general physical conditions of the body are very good, and thus far the developments are normal.
3. Those conditions of which the body is to be mindful are respecting the abilities of the body to be able to retain or to function in such a manner as to bring normal developments for the child, as well as respecting the abilities of the physical functioning to prevent the abortions that HAVE occurred in such conditions with the body.
4. While the directions and instructions for the body to the present have been well, as we find, it would be materially helpful for proper precautions or measures to be taken to strengthen the muscular forces in the abdominal area, and to prevent the inflow of the impulse through those areas that supply the flow of blood and nerve energy to the organs of the pelvis from the cerebro-spinal system. Were these strengthened through the manipulations that are given for such conditions, they would aid materially in producing the abilities for the physical body to carry on in a manner to insure the normal development, the normal period passing for the development of the conditions for both the mother and the child.
5. The conditions that arise also in the system as for pressures on the organs in the pelvis area, as bladder, kidneys and the like, will also be materially relieved through such manipulations.
6. The mechanical appliances for the relief of strain, and the activities of the body should not be so curtailed as to make for stillbirth, nor for the inability of the system itself of the mother to develop in a manner as to supply - through the umbilical cords and connection - proper nutriment to the fetus as it is in its periods of development.
7. If the period of gestation through the third and fourth month carries well (by these administrations suggested above), then we may expect normal development throughout.
8. These, then, would be added suggestions to that which has been given:
9. Manipulative measures that tend to make for the contraction, rather than dilation, of the organs and the supplying centers that supply nutriment impulse in blood and nerve activity.
10. Ready for questions.
11. (Q) How often should these manipulations be given?
    (A) As the circumstance and conditions command, or demand. For these, to be sure, may be altered much by the psychopathic effect of the body itself, and its body-physical activities.
12. (Q) Should these be osteopathic manipulations?
    (A) That is what we have suggested. Osteopathic manipulations, by an osteopathic physician that is particularly versed in obstetrics.
13. That is all the questions.
14. We are through for the present.
