Now there is no virtue in the words used, but this and similar thoughts will give you an idea how to approach the rebellious "Mind." The "Mind" of the part must have pointed out to it just what you expect it to do. You will be surprised how it will obey. Think of a "cross," "pouty" child, one who is "out of sorts." When dealing with the rebellious mind, and like a child you must love it, scold it, coax it, before you can lead it back to right action. Love, of course, must be behind the action, just as in the case of the child. The cell mind is really an undeveloped child-like mind. By keeping this idea in view you will be better able to handle it.
All the while you are manipulating an organ or part, keep telling the "Mind" just what you want it to do. Your manipulations awaken and attract the attention of the "mind in the cells." This explains just how manipulation brings results.
Osteopathic physicians generally have often wondered why continued pressure over a nerve would cause inhibition, whilst a make and break pressure stimulated. Many and various speculations have been advanced as to the cause of this. But not once has it been said that the operator's mind picturing the word "quiet" to the "nerve mind" was the cause of the inhibition, or the picturing the word "action" was the cause of the stimulation. The operator unconsciously thought these word images, and projected them to the "mind" of the nerve centres, under treatment. His very anxiety to bring about the conditions thought of was sufficient to picture to the "nerve mind" what was wanted.
