Hi,
I was just wondering if anyone has any experience with Reconnection?
I confess to being captivated by the web site, waaay past my bedtime last night, and I would like to know more from someone with personal experience.

I have had the Reconnection done twice on me. The second time seemed more powerful than the first, perhaps because I knew more about it....Good stuff...much more complicated to do than QT. If you are interested in it, perhaps it would help to read the book. You can actually get attuned to the reconnective energy by reading it.

I'm a Level 3 RH Practitioner, but don't use it a lot since learning Quantum Touch. At times, in certain circumstances, I will go to RH, but at least 95% of what I do now is QT.

A while back, there was a thread on the message board on RH...If you search for that, there's quite a discussion about it there.

Quantum Touch is faster, easier to do, more pleasant to do, and in my humble opinion, works far better than RH.....but you know, there are different strokes for different folks. RH is another method for manipulating energy and it does work, but QT works better.

Hope this helps.

Yes, it does. Thank you Ali and Cassandra.

I took Reconnection. Everyone is entitled to at least ONE really foolish waste of money, plus one dumb mistake.Nuff said.

Well, this may be a first, where I learned from someone else's mistakes or experiences.
Thank heaven for this message board, or I'd have spent time, money and energy chasing after something that sounded so good.
And that it came from Ali and Zen, two of the folks I respect and admire mostest is why, for once, I'm listening.
Thank you my friends.
Love and Hugs, Christina

I agree with Ali and Zen. The Reconnection Healing was my first foray into energy healing, so it taught me how to feel energy. For that I am forever greatful. However, I was disappointed in actual results when I worked on people. They had a "nice experience" with feeling relaxed, having an arm or leg "jump", seeing colors behind their eyes or outline visions of angels or a man in a robe or something, and smelling a sweet smell. However, I fascilitated no real HEALINGS other than the lady I was tested on at the seminar...her arm and shoulder had been hurting that weekend and the pain was gone after I worked on her.

Then I was "led" to the Quantum Touch website and ordered the books and CD's. My first three clients had miraculous healings...even before I had finished watching the CD's. So....if you are already doing QT...don't waste your money on The Reconnection. Quantum Touch is all you need!!!!!!!!

Hello Everyone

I'm grateful for this discussion of RH just now. because I have just returned from Virginia Beach where over two successive weekends I qualified as an RH practitioner and am authorized to do "The Reconnection." I'll give some of my perceptions and reactions in a spirit of sharing with others who may be considering involvement with RH what I hope will be useful input.

I got Eric Pearl's book about Reconnective Healing through Amazon, having never heard of it before. I was one of those people who were highly energized by reading it. I felt surges of healing energy in my body and especially my hands, could not sleep much at night because of it, and contacted a nearby RH practitioner for a healing session, meaning, in that case, more of a demonstration. I should mention that a few months prior to this I had discovered QT, had visited this website and been impressed by all of you who post here, and had been especially touched by the inclusiveness, good humor and especially by the lack of pretension. I read the book and found, as promised, that I was able to practice QT, but also aware that I wanted and needed a workshop to 'download' the teachings properly, at least to a degree that satisfied me.

But I signed up for three QT workshops over a six week period and they all failed to go because of low signups. This puzzled me, feeling as I did that I had found something really good and wondering why I was not able to properly access it. Nothing is coincidence, after all. Why was I being thrwarted? Of course there was a good reason, but things had to unfold further before I realized what it was.

I discovered RH just at the time of the third no-go, had the above described energy response, and signed up for an appointment with the RH practitioner I mentioned. All this happened within 24 hours.

I had and still have a small healing practice which was entirely hands-on. I got into it after discovering QT and realizing that it really is true that anyone can do it. But given my response to Eric's book, although I had never met him or seen his organization in action, I signed up for two succesive weekend seminars in Virginia Beach, Virginia. All of this happened on a powerful wave of enthusiasm inspired by a sense that guidance was at work. In fact, before I even met with the RH practitioner (who turned out to be a wonderful person and a powerful energy conduit) I asked a client who was seeing me for bad knees and depression if she would object to my using a no-touch healing method. She said no, she was curious to experience it herself. (So was I!) So as faithfully as I could follow the descriptions in Eric's book about how to do the sessions, I did one.

I must say I have only had a few experiences of energy like that.I was as deeply affected by it as my client, who sat up from the table saying, "Oh look--you can see the energy fields around the leaves of those trees out your window. Wow! They overlap. You can see right through the top one to the one under it, and through both of them to the branch. Can you see that?" I could not. But I was so impacted by a sense of gratitude for such an extraordinary energy experience that the exact nature of phenomena didn't matter much.I am purposefully not going into detail about my experience, because as wonderful as it was, I had long ago learned that phenomena are practically meaningless and can actually divery us from a deeper spiritual connection.

After my client left I was walking slowly down the hallway from my office to the elevator when I realized that something was "wrong." I did not know what it was but felt decidedly different about how I was walking. Not just 'the lightness of being' but something else.

After a minute I understood what it was. The sciatica on my left side was gone. It had had a nice long visit--35 years--and I was shocked that I didn't feel it. But I didn't. I expected it would return after an hour or so, as it had after a session with Roselyn Bruyere(sp?)many years ago. But it did not come back at all. It has not come back yet. When I went the next day to meet with the RH practitioner we spent most of the time talking, as I tried to understand what had happened. The energy work itself was anti-climactic. I now felt I had to meet Eric, learn the work and practice it, which I signed up to do that evening on the RH website. The next seminar was in Virginia and I am in California and it meant eleven days of hotel costs, two seminar fees, air fare, car rental and meals.I didn't care. I booked everything and couldn't wait to go.(You can probably see by now that any shortcomings I have will not be connected to procrastination.!)

I see I'm about out of space for this posting so I'll talk about the seminars, my experience of the RH organization, and the aftermath, tomorrow. I have no intention of gossiping, but only of putting forward a few of my direct observations, their meaning for me, and my subsequent reflections on them.

Howard

So, Howard. I am anxiously waiting for the rest of your story. Sorta makes me want to dust off my ole RH vibes and try again.

Actually, I have finished up some QT sessions with a few minutes of RH when the client was laying down and almost asleep. They noticed that I would get real quiet (not heavy breathing like in QT) and tell me that they started seeing "colors" and felt very relaxed.

Hi Winder

Sorry I haven't put up any more about the Reconnection experience. "Life got in the way"
I'll get to it in the next few days. Thanks for being interested.

Howard

Thanks for posting your experiences,Howard.I feel rather than competing with each other,these other healing modalities complement and enhance each other.I have had the same "activation" of energy through my hands with Reconnection also,or perhaps an "amp" ,rather.Another powerful method is Matrix Energetics.

Yes!!!

Hi DHEAL, Chris and any interested others

Here's my delayed conclusion to my RH seminar experiences.

I agree with one of the posts above that RH doesn't seem to really work. Eric is reported to have have had many healings for clients through his work but the last time I looked in on it very few are posted on the RH website by practitioners. In early July there were only two. (I hope I didn't miss dozens posted just out of sight.) The scarcity of reported practitioner healings came as a shock to me. Every QT newsletter has, it seems, ten or more healings in it, and many of these are serious afflictions.

RH stresses that three sessions are the limit for any one client, the assuption being that the clients have gotten all they could in three tries, and other sessions would not do any further good. None of the other healing modalities I have encountered seemed to have an assumption like that. Some people recover in a flash and some by inches.Most of us know that from our own experience.

The formal Reconnection (R in a circle) procedure was agreeable energetically, though I couldn't perceive much benefit from it. Since it costs 333.00 dollars and is given in less than a total of two hours over two days, I felt a little like a sucker.

I have always experienced energy pretty intensely and I have lots of what the Hindus call kriyas, involuntary movements, muscular contactions, inner light shows, expressions of bliss etc. It's been that way for me since I was initiated into Mahakundalini Yoga by my much beloved little teacher, Dhyanyogi, i.e., 'monk who mediates.' That was a hands off experience. Dhyanyogi's energy transmissions were so powerful that it is hard to describe them. I know that many people including me went into pretty deep meditations around him, yet to my recollection he never described to anybody all the spiritual things he had accomplised, asked for anything or criticized anybody. I mentioned in my first post on this topic that my own first practice of RH generated such an intense energy wave that I all but passed out on my feet and was healed of a very longstanding back injury. I guess I thought, from that, that if even a total amateur like me in the modality could be affected like that, it must be a very wonderful thing for others as they seek help in their healing journeys, and perhaps it is; but that was the first and last healing I was able to facilitate as an energy practitioner through RH. Most people I worked with felt calm, meditative, etc, some even had kriyas, but that was it. However some of my QT experiences have been very powerful indeed, have targeted the presenting problem directly, and either improved or removed it, and I have yet to attend a QT seminar, for reasons noted in the first posting. RH seems wired in a different way, since the point is not healing so much--at least at that point--as it is correct frequency attunement,from which it is assumed that much good will result ongoing.


It was stressed in the RH seminar that we should all have fun but to me--and please be reminded that this is only and exclusively 'me'--it was a more serious and fast paced than fun. Eric did two healings on participants at the Friday night's opening lecture, one a frozen shoulder and the other a hand that could not fully close. Next day we took turns working on each other and it was much the same on Sunday with some Q&A and warnings about the exclusivity of Reconnective Healing. (Those two words always have an R in a circle next to them every time RH is mentioned in a text, even if that may be twenty times.) Eric left and Saturday for Norway.After the first seminar, Parts 1 and 2, we were authorized to be RH healers. I stayed till the next weekend for Level Three, which teaches how to do The Reconnection (R in a circle) a method of aligning the energy meridians of the body with the Ley lines of mother earth, and above all, raising the frequency of the client's energy vibrations. I do not know what Ley lines are but believe they are also energy meridians, in the form of a grid.

Most of Sunday afternoon at the second seminar was devoted to explaining that we could not mention RH in the same breath with any other modality, that they as an organization had exclusive right to approve of our advertising, which had to be sumbitted to them.If it was seen as unacceptable, they would edit it and if it was particulkarly bad and took some work, charge the practitioner for it. We were told that RH would soon have a practitioner's message board but were given little information about what it would be like or when it would come online. Further questions were met with irritation.

All the assistant teachers were women, who paid their own expenses for the privilege of travelling with Eric. These were all wonderfully bright, accomplished and kind people, and almost all of what I learned was from them.

Well, that's (I hope) a reasonably accurate overview.I've made a wonderful friend in my RH Reconnective energy practitioner, and learned how hands off can complement hands on healing as a threshhold "air line into the energy-sheath inner tube" and open it to recive QT quite effectively.

Nothing is ever wasted. All learning I have ever done has proved precious, eventually, and in ways I never expected. RH will too.

I hope I have not mis-stated anything, and that if in your perception I have, I trust you will let me know.

Howard

Howard, I think you have gotten it right, all of it. The part that turned me off the most was not the actual energy work, it was all the hubbub about exclusivity, of never mixing with anything else, of the "Do it this way!" mentality, of Eric having to personally energize each person, and the drill-sargeant One-Two!-Three!-Four! of the very precise movements. It was exhausting, and there was, IMHO, too great an emphasis on money.

And then there was Line 17!

I also met some great people in my classes, which were held in St. Paul. RH was an introduction to energy work, although I'd been doing my own kind of work for a long time before taking the classes. What I was actually doing on my own is far closer to Quantum Touch, but RH was another "window" into manipulation of energy, so it was good in that respect.

I will use RH when placing the hands in certain places is not a good idea, and I will "scan," using a hands-off technique, and at times I will use the movements from the end-part of The Reconnection (circle) to end a session....sort of smoothing the aura, making sure all the feathers are smoothed down and neatly in place, if that makes sense.

But the vast vast majority of what I do now is QT, with some Vogel work, and a tiny little bit of RH. (circle, LOLOL) Thanks for posting your experience so thoroughly...mine was very similar.

Blessings,

Ali, you dare mention line 17 in this forum? Humph!
I took the third level twice as I am not a fast learner. The little thing about NO HANDOUTS, take notes off the pictures on the wall threw me for a loop. Ali and I took the third level together, and if she hadn't taken copious notes, I would have just fallen on my face in public.
Instead, I made it home, having to give up my precious ruby earrings that my husband had given me when he still loved me. I had to be , what did they call it? Reconnected before I could take the third class!
That cost me the rubies, as I had no more money.

One kind soul (?) told me that they would have to be priced at 333.oo because of the rules.

Out went the rubies in came the larnin. HAH!

I got a rather strange call from a client, would I do her at 4am, as her plane was leaving just around then...Okay, I would, and came home from one of my grandkids birth to do her, she was frantic. I was exhausted.

I did the reconnection for her, and she left my home.

I fell into bed, to get up in a coupla hours to go back to the hospital, to my fridge kids birth.

Later that day, or the next day, I was told on the phone that there was a complaint from the woman, saying she "felt intuitively" that I had done an incomplete job. She wanted her money back.

I had done a good job. Ali helped me learn it, as she will tell you.

I returned the money, to the office, and was told that not only was I no longer a third level instructor, but that I was going to loose all the money, and the rubies that I valued so very much, as I was a baaaaaaaaaaaaad girl, not doing a superb job.

I did a thorough job, a good job, and think I was tricked.

Eric Pearl wanted the techiques I use on animals, in order to add them to his repetoire.

I refused, as I did NOT trust Eric Pearl. I disliked him on sight. No reason, just did.

I really believe that he had me removed from the third level because he could not have the same techniques I give all freely, here.

I got an invitation every time he came through town to go to his "event" and every time I called his office and demanded that I be removed from his site, as I had NO use for him, personally, and for his so-called "healing".

Some of his ways are effective, but not for healing, only for relaxation. Nothing wrong with relaxing, of course, but dont tell that red horse over there that he is a kitten, black stripes and all.

Personally, backed by no one, I feel Eric Pearl is a snake oil man.

I have NO use for him whatsoever. Nor he me.

That is my opinion only, and if you wish to really disagree, go ahead.

zeneagle, with blood in her eyes. My husbands rubies....
