(Q) Regarding the physical, - can you give suggestions for
the sinus-cold which is worst in the morning and usually
disappears by night?
(A) This is a tendency of hindered circulation through the
upper cervical and dorsal to slow the circulation when the
body is lying prone.
Each evening, for some eight to ten evenings, we would
massage the body with Cocoa Butter in the area from between
the shoulders to the base of the brain; this warm, and
massaged in rather vigorously.
Also each morning use an inhalant prepared in a large-mouth
container, so arranged that two vents may go through the cork
but not into the solution, and these vents so arranged as to
be corked:
To 4 ounces of Grain Alcohol, in at least a six or eight
ounce container, add - in the order named:
Oil of Eucalyptus.................20 minims,
Rectified Oil of Turp..............5 minims,
Compound Tincture of Benzoin......15 minims,
Tolu in Solution..................30 minims.
Shake the solution, then remove the cork from each vent, and
inhale through one of the vents deep into the nostril. This
will act as an antiseptic, as a healer, by the fumes of same.
If the throat gets dry at times, inhale into the throat also.
Do this and we will find these conditions will disappear -
unless there are colds or congestions.
But the regular exercise will make for better conditions
through these portions of the disturbances.
(Q) I also have a rash at times, and am overweight. Any
suggestions?
(A) The rash is part of this same circulation being
disturbed. This will be materially aided by this brisk
massage daily with the Cocoa Butter in the areas indicated.
As for the weight, - this is not a great overweight, but a
nominal development. If there is the cutting down on the
starches we will find that the weight will reduce. And we
would take regular setting up exercises for a few minutes
morning and evening. This, too, will aid in keeping much
better circulation. Stretch the arms high above the head,
slowly rising on the toes at the same time; then bending
forward, stooping, and with the arms extended to the side
when stooping; raising them, while stooped, above the head;
then standing. Do this three to four times, but be
consistent; don't take it a few days and then leave off, but
do it regularly.
(Q) I am seeking suggestions as to what I should prepare to
do when I am through school.
(A) As we find, those general tendencies and abilities
should be taken into consideration. As we have indicated,
the entity has very good judgements in its own self. Those
preparations in the school and in the activities should be
towards music. This will ever be a field wherein the entity
may apply itself to advantage; not merely as a partially
prepared musician, but as an accomplished musician. This, to
be sure, requires practice. This requires a great deal of
study on the part of self. But this APPLIED will bring into
the experience an unfoldment to many of the beauties in
nature, much of that which is the rhythm of the whole
experience of life itself; and it offers a channel through
which the entity - through that transition period from young
ladyhood to the home builder - may apply self to the benefit
of the many.
It will also give channels or means that, you may be sure,
will not be hindered by the general circumstances or
conditions. For, this phase of the experience in this fair
land will be the greater stressed when there are those
periods of peace, and of joy in the earth.
And these preparations should be in those lines of sacred
music, as well as that having to do with the rhythm of the
body itself.
(Q) What types of body-movement or rhythm should be
stressed?
(A) This, as indicated, will be an unfoldment of this body
itself, as it applies itself. To attempt to copy some
particular type would be to destroy the initiative that is
part of this entity's ability, and may be the entity's
experience - if it applies self in those directions.
(Q) Should I try to go to college or will it be possible to
get the necessary training to earn a living at my present
school (The Knox School, Cooperstown, N.Y.)?
(A) It will be possible, if there is the desire to carry on
in this particular field of activity. The preparation can be
completed in the present school, and then - should the
opportunity be offered - it may be completed in any musical
conservatory or training school. OR, there may be the
application of self as an accompanist, as one that may
contribute much to music, especially the types of music that
will be a part of the experience, if there is the application
of self made in those directions indicated.
(Q) Will this field of endeavor be practicable after the
war?
(A) As indicated, there will be a greater stress put upon
such in the lives of the young, as well as in the daily
experience of those farther advanced in years.
(Q) Any other advice or counsel that will be helpful at this
time?
(A) Keep a balance in the spiritual, the mental and the
physical. For, there should ever be in the experience of the
entity the SPIRITUAL application of that which is the
entity's ideal, spiritually. Find the application in the
mental, and it will bring material results.
We are through for the present.

BACKGROUND
See
628-1, Life Rdg., on
8/02/32, and four subsequent Physical
Rdgs.
11/30/42 Father [
261]'s ltr.: "[
628] has to decide shortly
whether to prepare for a regular academic course at college
or to prepare for a business course or some specialized work.
She doesn't show any particular bent but perhaps the rdg.
will point one out. Also are there any special activities at
school that she should be engaged in and now is not?
It would probably be well to ask
1-2 questions as to her
physical condition and whether any special corrective tr.
should be given. She seems to have a sinus infection -
should anything special be done for it. Unfortunately, she
does not like to use inhalants or sprays, which makes it
rather difficult."
12/14/32 Mother [
772] submitted questions. "She knows what
she DOESN'T want to do (school teaching or office work), but
doesn't know what she does want to do."
REPORTS
1/02/43 Mother [
772]'s ltr.: "We are certainly surprised at
rdg. [
628] is the only one in the family who isn't a little
musical but maybe if she starts in now she may be able to do
something after all - the only question is to find the money
for lessons... The physical part is fine and she will start
in on that at once. We will let you know later what we do
about the music - would be very interesting if we could
afford to let her have lessons now. Several yrs. ago she
could have studied piano when [
566] did, but she refused so
strongly that we just supposed that she was completely
unmusical."
1/21/43 "No, we weren't displeased with [
628]'s rdg. - we
were just flabbergasted because we didn't think she had any
music in her. She doesn't even seem to like to dance but
perhaps that is because she is so much bigger than all the
boys. However, she is very much interested and we are going
to try and do something about it... She was so fascinated
with life at the ranch in Arizona, I think she hoped the rdg.
would tell her to be a cowboy, or cowgirl rather."
