Led by John,
we began our meeting with the Lord’s Prayer, meditated, and sent out
prayers for our concerns. We reported how our experiments went in
watching and checking ourselves on our ability to be accepting of others and
avoid judgments, especially toward people who may be quite different than we
are.
Following our short break, we began chapter 22 of our “Edgar Cayce Primer” by
Herbert Puryear. We read, or Greg read to us, the first three sections of A Positive
Approach to Health: C (circulation) A (assimilation) R (relaxation) E
(elimination), an acronym coined by Dr Reilly, a prominent exercise
physiologist providing the treatments given by source through the Cayce
readings to numerous people in New York City area.
In action, “Caring” is a good attitude for protecting and promoting good
health.
One group member provided positive lab results of the physical
change in a concerning condition of an endocrine gland. She attributes it to
her meditations where she is talking to her cells, reminding them they have the
Christ Consciousness and asking them to cooperate with the various organs
functioning so that all of her body is working in harmony. What an
excellent Ideal to awaken the cells perfect pattern of health.
With a definition of “being whole” is to be healthy, Puryear said it requires a
coordination of Spirit, Mind, Body, attuned to and expressing the One Life
Force.
There is a perfect pattern of health within us and stimulating that pattern leads
to healing. Our group member in asking her body’s organs and glands
to cooperate and coordinate functions together is one of many examples of
ways to stimulate that perfect pattern of health within, which Cayce gave in over
50 years of doing readings.
It is beneficial to improve circulation: stimulating circulation through
massage, osteopathy, chiropractic, walking, specific exercises, etc., as it carries
needed nutrients and elements wherever they are needed. But it also does the
house cleaning of carrying the waste and refuse back out. Thanks to our
knowledgeable leader we learned that there is a system of circulation within
our brains that carries waste down and out through our necks. This system of
preserving the brains function was unknown for a long time.
Assimilation can be improved by positive attitudes and emotions, by thorough mastication of food, adequate, timely water consumption. Cayce made
many recommendations on balancing of foods taken to maintain an alkaline
status, of combinations to avoid such as starches with citrus, cream in coffee,
avoiding wine with meals. He observed that fried foods eaten block or interfere
with the “electrical activity” between the liver and the kidneys.
Relaxation is vital. We need sleep for a tearing down and building up
process, and we need to sleep adequate hours for both processes to happen, as
well as sleep time sufficient to “dream.” Dreaming stores memories, and
involves mental, physical and spiritual bodies. Dreams can bring
messages, guidance, solutions, and answers sought.
Learning to relax is a skill and an art; useful to enter sleep. Insomnia can be
solved by relaxing, by massage induced relaxation, breathing exercises,
exhaling slowly to stimulate the bodies vagus nerve, and various other
techniques.
Having read about what health is, and the first three of four parts of CARE,
circulation, assimilation, relaxation, we are now ready to choose one of
the three to experiment with this week. Which will you choose to do?
It was nice to have Ana join us for her first ASFG
meeting. We hope to see you again next week, Ana.
Thank you, John, for making our Group Leader list. It looks as if it will work fine for me. If any of us sees a
“problematic” month that may not work for you, let John know.
Blessings,
Sylvia Raye
