Time and Place: 3:40 to 3:45 P. M. Eastern War Time. ..., Conn.

TEXT

GC: You will give the physical condition of this body at the present time, with suggestions for further corrective measures, answering the questions as I ask them:
EC: Benham Road - yes, this goes by the brook.
Yes, we have the body here; this we have had before.
As we find, while there are some improvements there is much to be desired.
In making the corrections through the sacral and the coccyx area, not enough attention has been given to the coccyx area. The sacral and the lower lumbar area is improved, but coordinate these areas with those corrections necessary that connect directly with the 3rd cervical, that are causing the disturbance through the throat and head, the throbbing in the head and the acute pains in the throat at times - which comes from the lack of this coordination.
If these areas are still in those positions of being hard to change, relax same throughout the sacral and the coccyx area with wet heat before making corrections, as also the whole cervical area. Apply heavy towels wrung out of hot water, as hot as the body can stand it. Repeat this several times. Lay these on the body, cover with an oilcloth or the like and then let the heat gradually die away. Do this some two to three times, just before the corrections are attempted, and these will be much more easily made.
Do that.
Ready for questions.
We are through with this reading.
