(Q) Why do I have such a feeling of fullness in my hands when I am holding my healing meditations?
(A) A natural consequence of that as has just been given. Pour it out, not hold it in self.

(Q) Please expand on the different circular vibrations which are experienced during meditation: 1. When felt in the lower part of body.
(A) As this may be expanded upon both from the metaphysical viewpoint and from the purely scientific also, well that those who experience these do not confuse themselves in the interpreting of that each may experience. Each must remember that the vibrations which are emanations of the Life from within are a material expression of a spiritual influence, or of a force that may emanate from Life itself.
Now, consider, we are viewing both of these in the light of that which has just been given.
When an emanation or a vibration arises, it may only act upon centers within the human body that are sensitive to those vibrations within the body; else one may not become aware of such vibrations being present, or they may not become apparent; hence have within themselves passed from being an influence that is not of a nature other than that which produced same.
When these are interpreted properly, they become that which raises for each individual the ability to become aware of the influences from without and from within. These, spiritualized, are the emanations that may be sent out as thought waves, as a force in the activity of universal or cosmic influence, and thus have their effect upon those to whom by suggestive force they are directed toward.
In the varied motions, as we understand, these arise; (as all things spiral would), for one that would become aware of such an emanation, such a vibration, such a force being active within themselves.
Do not use those vibrations to self’s undoing, by the attempts to make for self other than a channel for aid to another.
(Q) When felt in the lower part of the body.
(A) All the same. We begin from one. We have passed on up to the head now!
(Q) [341]: Please explain the sensations during meditation of vibration running up through the body and ending in a sort of fullness in the head.
(A) The various portions, as given, represent the activities that are being set, either when considered from the purely scientific or from the metaphysical standpoint, as an active force emanating from the Life itself within. Then, these become all-embracing; hence the better understanding should be gained, whether used to disseminate and bring healing or for the raising of the forces in self. When one is able to so raise within themselves such vibrations, as to pass through the whole course of the attributes of physical attunements, to the disseminating force or center, or the Eye, then the body of that individual becomes a magnet that may (if properly used) bring healing to others with the laying on of hands. This is the manner in which such a healing becomes effective by the laying on of hands.
(Q) Should one allow unconsciousness to follow?
(A) Unconsciousness is a physical-natural consequence, unless there is the radiation passed off into some other force for raising same, or aiding same.
(Q) How can one direct the vibration culminating in the head to the one they would aid?
(A) By thought. (Now we are speaking of a purely mechanical, metaphysical-spiritual activity that would take place.) One has directed their thought to an individual who is to receive the blessing of that power or force raised. They raise within themselves that which may be sent out as a power, and it passes to those that would be in attune or accord. Were they present a much greater force may be felt, to be sure; less is the strain upon the physical body.
We are through for the present.

(Q) While meditating have experienced a perfect relaxation of the body, the head being drawn backward. Please explain.
(A) The nearer the body of an individual, or this, draws to that attunement, or consciousness, as was in the Christ Consciousness, as is in the Christ Consciousness, the nearer does the body, or that body, become a channel for life—living life—to others to whom the thought is directed. Hence at such periods, these are the manifestations of the life, or the spirit, acting through the body.
(Q) [993]: On several occasions while meditating with the group there was a cool feeling as if mentholatum had been placed upon my head and forehead, extending down upon the nose.
(A) As would be termed—literal—as the breath of an angel, or the breath of a master. As the body attunes self, as has been given, it may be a channel where there may be even instant healing with the laying on of hands. The more often this occurs the more power is there felt in the body, the forcefulness in the act or word.
(Q) After meditating with the group on April 11th, my whole body seemed to be vibrating to the thought that I had opened my heart to the unseen forces that surround the throne of grace, and beauty, and might, and throwing about self that protection that is found in the thoughts of Him. Please explain.
(A) Just as has been given, the nearer one—a body, this body—draws to that complete consciousness that is in Him, the greater may be the power—that is manifested through His presence in the world through that as is brought about in self’s own experience. The more forceful, the more helpful, does the body become at such, and through such, experiences. Let these remain as sacred experiences, gathering more and more of same—but as such is given out, so does it come.
(Q) [341]: How can I develop greater spiritual control over the mental body during meditations?
(A) The more that there is held that the mental and physical body is surrounded by, is protected by, that consciousness of the Master that gave, “I will not leave thee comfortless”, and the greater the physical can be submerged, the greater will be the activity of the spiritual forces in and through such bodies.

But do be consistent; do be persistent and that hour each day as it is used in accordance with the regulations, keeping the body relaxed, use that period as the time for meditation and prayer. Have ye learned (as ye have) the difference between prayer and meditation? Prayer is supplication to God and meditation is listening to His answer.
