This Psychic Reading given by Edgar Cayce at his home on Arctic Crescent, Virginia Beach, Va., this 9th day of March, 1940, in accordance with request made by the father - Mr. […], new Associate Member of the Ass”n for Research & Enlightenment, Inc., recommended by Mr. [257].

[Edgar Cayce; Gertrude Cayce, Conductor; Gladys Davis, Steno.]

Time of Reading 10:45 to 10:55 A. M. Eastern Standard Time. …, N.Y.

1. 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:

2. EC: Yes.

3. As we find, and as we have indicated, there is the better activity to be obtained by consistent but persistent massage, - to aid in strengthening the muscular and tendon forces through the limbs and the torso of the body.

4. This offers the greater chances for bringing bettered conditions, so that the body - as it develops - will be able to care for itself; and that there may be better stamina as related to the joints in the pelvis.

5. THAT we would do.

6. Ready for questions.

7. (Q) Could you suggest one to do this massaging? (A) Any good orthopedic masseur; preferably a lady.

8. (Q) What is present condition of the body? (A) As may be indicated from that just given, there is still the lack of keeping the needs as to the correct position in the pelvis; and this massage as indicated - especially using an equal combination of Peanut Oil and Olive Oil for such massaging - will aid in this direction.

9. (Q) Have her joints improved since the last Reading? (A) In some directions, yes; some, no. Those inclinations and tendencies are not good, for the limbs to extend straight out rather than to come into position downward. The regular conditions, as for vital energies for BUILDING the body, are better.

10. (Q) Is waddle in her walk better or worse? (A) This is indicated by the very activity itself.

11. (Q) Are her hips stable now? (A) As indicated, the tendencies are towards that of separating - or extending straight out, see?

12. (Q) Will they grow closer together than they now are in the joints? (A) If there is the application of that which will tend to make the activity in this direction, yes. If there is not, no.

Do as we have indicated, if we would bring the better conditions for this body of [1393].

13. We are through for the present.
