This Psychic Reading given by Edgar Cayce at his office, 115 West 35th Street, Virginia Beach, Va., this 4th day of June, 1926, in accordance with request made by self - Dr. [5618].

Time of Reading 3:45 P. M. Eastern Standard Time. …, Va.

  1. GC: You will give the physical condition of this body at the present time, with suggestions for the further improvement of same, and you will answer any questions I may ask you regarding this body.

  2. EC: Now, we find there are many changes in the physical conditions of this body since we had it here before. Most of these are showing the bettered conditions, the bettered assimilation, the bettered physical resistance. There are still those strains on the nerve system, especially to the locomotary centers, that show how that the resistances as are being created lack in their ability, as it were, to push through. This being a greater portion of the retraction in the sympathetic nerve system. Hence the centers and the ends of the nerves that show the retraction and reaction, through the centers connecting with the cerebro-spinal and the sympathetic, show the greater distresses - as is seen under the knees, in the thighs, small of the back, across the arms. These come, as we see, from the 12th dorsal center, the 4th lumbar center, from the brachial center, which, with their ends to arms, to extremities, show how that these, as it were, pushing through - that is, the mental forces being of the nature where retraction, through action of the sympathetic system, in desire, in physical forces, in physical suppliance to the body, still bring their action to these centers.

  3. To overcome these, as has been given, keep as much in the open as possible. Occupy the mental forces with introspection, and with ideal building of the physical, the mental, and the material conditions for the body. This, with the sand, the salt, the sea, the woods, with nutritious foods, builds in the body that that will attain to the ideals the body builds for itself. Do that. Ready for questions.

  4. GC: No questions.

  5. We are through for the present.
