How did Dr. Pearl
discover Reconnective Healing®?
As a doctor, Eric ran a highly
successful chiropractic practice for 12 years until one day
when patients began reporting that they felt his hands on
them—even though he hadn’t physically touched them. For the
first couple of months his palms blistered and bled.
Patients soon reported seeing angels and receiving
miraculous Healings from cancers, AIDS-related diseases,
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, birth disfigurements, cerebral
palsy, and other serious afflictions. All this occurred when
Eric simply held his hands near them. and to this day, it
continues.

What is
Reconnective Healing®?
Reconnective Healing® is a form of
healing that is here on the planet for the very first time.
It reconnects us to the fullness of the universe as it
reconnects us to the fullness of our beings and of who we
are. It is considered to be able to reconnect us to the
universe and to our very essence not just through a new set
of healing frequencies, but through possibly an entirely new
bandwidth. The reality of its existence has demonstrated
itself clearly in practice as well as in science
laboratories.
The Reconnection® is the umbrella
process of reconnecting to the universe, which allows
Reconnective Healing® to take place. These healings and
evolutionary frequencies are of a new bandwidth brought in
via a spectrum of light and information. It is through The
Reconnection® that we are able to interact with these new
levels of light and information, and it is through these new
levels of light and information that we are able to
reconnect. This is something new. This is different. This is
real—and it can be entrained in each of us.
(back

How does this
compare to other frequencies? How does it differ from
the other forms of energy work used now?
There is something that we’re
experiencing of which most of you are at least somewhat
aware. It’s that time seems to be moving faster as well as
expanding. This transition is referred to by many names.
"The Shift" and "Shift of the Ages" are two terms used by
Gregg Braden. The transition was predicted by the Mayans,
the Incas, the Hopi, Nostradamus, Edgar Cayce, and the
Kabbalah (both Jewish and Christian). In Walking Between the
Worlds, Braden defines this shift as "both a time in
Earth history as well as an experience of human
consciousness. Defined by the convergence of decreasing
planetary magnetics and increasing planetary frequency upon
a point in time, the Shift of the Ages, or simply, The
Shift, represents a rare opportunity of collectively
repatterning the expression of human consciousness. The
Shift is the term applied to the process of Earth
accelerating through a course of evolutionary change, with
the human species linked, by choice, to the electromagnetic
fields of Earth, following suit through a process of
cellular change."
In the healing realm, many of the
techniques that have stood the test of time function just as
well now as they always did—it’s just that we now have more,
and we now are more, so the old techniques are no longer
enough. As good as they always were, within our new,
expanded parameters, they are no longer appropriate—just as
lanterns would not be appropriate as headlights on a car,
although, for a horse and buggy, they functioned just fine.
The weaknesses these techniques are subject to—requiring the
removal of jewelry, the removal of leather, faith on the
part of the recipient, protection rituals for both parties
involved—are not present in the new frequencies.
Remember, too, why many of us who have
been practicing healing techniques got involved with them in
the first place. It wasn’t to become a fanatical follower
for the technique itself—it was to become a healer. The
technique was simply one of our early steps in this process.
For a moment, picture yourself
standing at the foot of a grand, cascading staircase. One of
your goals—that of becoming a healer—awaits you at the top.
Your first step is to learn a technique. You throw yourself
into this technique, mastering it, maybe even becoming a
teacher. You now own this first step. It’s okay to love it,
but be careful not to fall in love with it. Because if you
do, you’ll sit down, grab a blanket and pillow, move in, and
make this step the center of the rest of your life. But what
does that mean about the remainder of your journey up the
staircase? It stops. Now is the time to bless your first
steps . . . and continue upward.
(back
to top)
So are you saying that this is
better than the other techniques?
Of course not. This is not a question of "better or worse,"
this is a question of appropriateness. Just as you realize
that if you’re driving your Maserati on the Autobahn on your
way to a romantic dinner, candle-lit lanterns would not make
appropriate headlights, you probably also realize that, once
you sit down to dine, halogen headlights would not make the
most appropriate table lighting. Reconnective Healing® is
here now to give us something more comprehensive and
expansive because now is the time that we can have something
more comprehensive and expansive.
"The Reconnection is the umbrella process of reconnecting to
the universe that allows for Reconnective Healing to take
place. These healings and evolutionary frequencies are of a
new bandwidth and are brought in via a spectrum of light and
information that has never before been present on Earth. It
is through The Reconnection that we are able to interact
with these new levels of light and information, and it is
through these new levels of light and information that we
are able to reconnect."
--Dr. Eric Pearl,
The Reconnection Heal Others, Heal Yourself
I’ve heard that if I learn this
technique, I might lose the present one
I’ve been practicing.
First of all, Reconnective Healing® is
not a "technique." This is the first thing that separates it
from the other forms of healing that you’ve heard of.
Secondly, you won’t lose your studied healing techniques.
They just might not be as easy for you to find?and you might
not really want to bother. One reason for this is that the
healing techniques that we’ve had on this planet up until
now have been subsets of Reconnective Healing®. They have
been merely glimpses of some of its aspects. If you put
these techniques all together, you have a slightly greater
glimpse of Reconnective Healing®, yet nowhere broaching all
of it. Although this analogy doesn’t do it justice, think of
the different healing techniques you know of each as a
single letter of the alphabet and randomly assign them
letters, e.g., techniques C, J, P, Q, R. Now, if you know
only technique "R", you’re a little limited as to what you
can spell. If you know two techniques, (i.e. if you own two
"letters"), you might have a little more flexibility. If you
own all five of the letters above, you’re still noticeably
limited in what you can do. Each of those letters is a
subset of the alphabet. If you have the full set, all 26
letters, you can more fully communicate because not only can
you spell words now, you can write volumes.
Once you are working with the
Reconnective frequencies, you are no longer just in subsets.
You don’t lose your "R" or your "Q" when you access your
alphabet; you just have to work a little harder to find them
individually. and there’s not much incentive to do so as
they bring you such greater rewards when utilized as part of
the set than they did when trying to function as an entire
alphabet.
(back

Does Reconnective Healing® only
work on physical problems? Will it
work on mental problems as well?
Healing is a return to balance. Every
health challenge is a combination of the physical, mental,
spiritual, emotional (and probably a few other
classifications we don’t have words for). We simply classify
it according to its predominate characteristic. Reconnective
Healing® doesn’t specifically "treat" anything. If in its
presence you allow yourself to come back into balance, as
many people do, then you do. You just do.
(back
to top)
What’s the
difference between Reconnective Healing® and
The
Reconnection®?
The difference between Reconnective Healing® and The
Reconnection® is basically one of intent. The intent of
Reconnective Healing® is essentially that of healing, be it
physical, mental, emotional, spiritual or on any other
level. and, of course, to achieve the degree of healing
brought forth via Reconnective Healing®, you will, to some
extent, experience reconnection as part of the process. It’s
this "Reconnection" that allows Reconnective Healing® to be
so dramatically more comprehensive than the healing
"techniques" we’ve had up until now.
The intent of The Reconnection® is to
bring us into the fullness of our inherent connection with
the universe. This is done via a two-session experience,
commonly referred to as receiving your Personal
Reconnection®. and, of course, to achieve the degree of
reconnection brought fourth via The Reconnection®, you will,
to some extent, experience healing as part of the process.
and, although the two are not
completely separate processes, to obtain the full benefits
of each, your Reconnective Healing® sessions and your
personal Reconnection® sessions are to be experienced on
separate occasions.
(back

Can anyone
learn to do this?
We all have the ability to carry these new frequencies of
healing. It’s not a gift for a few chosen people – gurus or
"holy" (by general consensus) men or women. It’s a gift of
this time; the intelligence and wisdom we need to guide us
is already in place. These frequencies are both old and new.
They are "old" because they are of the universe. They are
"new" because this is the first time that they’ve been on
the planet. They are not something that someone’s friend at
the beach has been "ohming" in for 15 years nor are they
some lost technique of an old or ancient people. They are
believed to be frequencies that we are experiencing on the
Earth for the very first time.
Although the universe, for some
reason, chose to "seed" Eric with this energy to begin the
process of frequency enhancement, it seems that every day,
more and more people are finding their place as part of this
phenomenon. In so doing, we are raising our overall level of
consciousness. Each week, Reconnective Healing® is taught to
hundreds of people from all over the world and from all
types of backgrounds – medical and non-medical, spiritual
and non-spiritual, metaphysical and non-metaphysical,
new-age and non-new age. The people who learn this come from
all walks of life, demographics and socioeconomic classes.
Everyone comes in at the same level no
matter what his or her experience or educational
background—which varies widely. The groups are approximately
50 percent male, 50 percent female. You’ll find Reiki Master
Teachers and massage therapists, housewives and students,
doctors and nurses, clergy members and construction workers,
scientists, school teachers, computer analysts, government
officials, plumbers and electricians, bankers and lawyers.
and, in most seminars, you’ll also find the person who
didn’t want to come sitting next to the person who brought
them anyway.
The constant diversity in any given
room around the world is your assurance that over the course
of a weekend, the nature of this work as it applies to
nearly every aspect of life is addressed. Those locked into
their left brains at the beginning of the seminar have often
evolved so far beyond such limitations by the end that you
are left to wonder if only a day or two have really passed.
and when you notice that the construction worker is
functioning with the same confidence and integrity as the
Reiki Master Teacher—right there in that moment—you can’t
help but realize the simple beauty of this gift.
These seminars are about creating
atmospheres of interactive participation that promote
exploration and learning; they are about sharing the group
experience. What happens when a group works together with
these energies is that everyone’s level rises at an amazing
speed. It’s as if there’s some kind of a field that connects
everyone more intensely in a group setting, expediting our
new evolution exponentially. We’re all changing in every
second—and there’s a lot to say about spending a weekend
immersed in the energies . . . together.
(back

Are you sure
I’ll be able to do this? I’ve seen most everyone I know
excel in healing so dramatically after attending the
Reconnective Healing® seminars that I can’t find words to
express it. I also know a couple who seem afraid to
move forward, continuing with their previous techniques or
trying to combine them with Reconnective Healing® without
much improvement when they do it that way. So I don’t get
it. Are there some people who just can’t access these purer
energies? and, if so, why would I assume it would be
different for me a beginner?
You ask an excellent question. The answer is actually
contained in a quote from my book:
People ask me if everyone has the
ability to carry these frequencies and become a healer.
My answer is, "Yes!" Everyone can do this, but the eyes are
blind.
It is only a few who dare to open their eyes . . . and often
those who do are blinded by what they see.
Everyone, once they interact with
this, can do the work. They’re doing it at the seminar. For
some, it’s difficult for them to believe that they can
actually do this, even though it’s happening, visibly, right
before their eyes. For some, they are lost in the concept
that more is better, so they "add" things, not recognizing
that it’s a dilution, much as adding a cup of water to a
bowl of chili merely gives you watered-down chili. and yet,
for a third group, there is the need for them to attempt to
make this better by putting their personal stamp on it. (For
example, this is what happened to Reiki. It’s difficult to
find the pure original Reiki. Many people — who do many
different things — claim that their "technique" has sole
ownership of it.) This third group is not secure enough in
who they are to find their reward in simply being a part of
the process, recognizing the honor that it is that they’ve
been invited into the equation and permitted (I consider it
"blessed") to witness the process in a state of awe. They
therefore attempt to "decorate" it, to lay some sort of
"claim" on the process and the results. To be able to say,
"See. This is how I do it. This makes it even better". This
is what I term "gilding the lily," taking the perfection of
the universe and trying to make it more perfect.
These healings come from a place of
perfect harmony with the universe. By trying to improve upon
perfection, these individuals are displaying for anyone who
cares to notice, that they weren’t able to see the
perfection to begin with...or that they somehow lost sight
of it. There is nothing wrong with any of the people in any
of these groups, and many people are comprised of a
combination of the three. The people who fall into these
groups are simply not yet at a place where they are willing
and emotionally able to step through their comfort zones.
Why might it be different for you?
There are many reasons. Many of them the same reasons that
it is different for so many other people who are able to
bring this through at its highest. First of all, as a
beginner, you don’t have so much baggage to release. There
are feelings of safety and security in our baggage. There’s
also fear of letting go of what we spent time and money
accumulating. This usually comes from feeling that it means
that we’ve made a mistake instead of recognizing that where
we’ve been has simply been the most recent step that brought
us to where we are now. Lifting your foot off of one step is
required to step up onto the next. Lifting the other foot
off of that previous step is also required if you’d like to
continue your ascension. Lifting your foot off of a step and
then replacing it, no matter how many times you do it, and
no matter how wonderful the step, keeps you where you are,
on that very same step. There’s a certain degree of bravery
required to look at a step you loved so much — be it that
special oriental healing technique you may have invested
thousands of dollars in mastering and that served you so
well, or one of the myriad other wonderful techniques that
are taught here in the US or other countries — bless it,
thank it and kiss it good bye. To do so, you have to
recognize that the intended function of a step is to be...a
step. It isn’t an end point, but rather part of your
progression on your journey. You, by not having been
indoctrinated into the arena of new-age healing
"techniques," don’t have this baggage and therefore will not
be a candidate for that particular struggle to divest
yourself of it.
Why do you think we so easily see
truth in the eyes of children? They don’t come into this
world with all the baggage and investment we accumulate.
Mind you, most experienced healers don’t put themselves
through this. Actually, the more evolved understand the
process and move forward into this new level with excitement
and anticipation. Can you do it? Of course you can. Can
these other people do it? Sure they can. It’s only a matter
of when. "It’s only a few who dare to open their
eyes...and often those who do are blinded by what they see."
You’ll be fine.
(back

What is it that I’m
feeling when I’m doing this?
In a sense, and not really wanting to use such a "woo-woo"
sounding word, it’s an attunement. and, once we begin to
understand concepts of vibration and entrainment, we see
that attunement is a perfectly appropriate term. Think about
it in terms of the effects of this attunement. Say you were
born color blind, unable to distinguish blue from red from
yellow. Then something happens to your eyes, and the
color-receptive cells kick in. Can you imagine? Suddenly a
whole new realm of perception comes to life for you.
In Reconnective Healing®, a similar
event occurs. As we attune (come into harmony) with the new
frequencies of energy, we begin to feel changes inside our
own body. The vibrations will register within us and become
part of us. Being able to recognize these sensations is an
important aspect of learning to work with the frequencies,
just as being able to see colors is helpful to a painter.
Please remember that it is not a requirement. Although the
feedback imparted through this ability is of great benefit
to the honing of our skills, there are blind painters and
deaf musicians. Feedback systems will develop for you in
their own way, out of a place of peace and stillness. The
entrainment, the alignment of forces and fields, the
communication of light and information, will come about and
will most likely find a way to make itself known to you.
(back
to top)
How will I know this
attunement has taken place for me?
What can I do so that my body becomes aware of the new
vibrations and is able to act as a conduit for them?
You’re already in the process of undergoing these changes.
The changes are occurring in you right now. For many, it’s
an a priori conclusion that this process of attunement is
encoding and unfolding in you even as you read this Q & A.
For others, you most likely are, or are about to be,
discovering it.
In my experience, there are three main
"styles" by which people make this attunement, this shift to
accommodate the new frequencies:
(1) You may notice changes in yourself
almost from the beginning—new sensations of warmth, a
strange feeling in your head or hands when you first hear
about The Reconnection®, or see the book in a store.
(2) For others, your process may begin
after you pick up the book and hold it, or open it and start
reading. You may begin to notice things happening as you
read the book – or these FAQ’s – further and further.
Immersed in the material, your sensations become more and
more apparent.
(3) A few of you may not feel anything
until a little later on—three days, three weeks, maybe
longer.
Finally, there is a fourth "style"—the
manifestor. This is a person who develops tiny blisters or
experiences inexplicable bleeding, as I did at one point in
my own development. If this happens, it only seems to last
for a day or two, and simply means that your body is
shifting to carry and accommodate these newer and larger
(more comprehensive) frequencies.
(back
to top)
Have you ever had anyone who
wasn’t able to do this?
Everyone, once they interact with these new frequencies,
seems to be able to do this work. On very rare occasion, a
person might have had some difficulty feeling it in the very
beginning of the seminar. Usually, by the end of the
weekend, most everyone can feel it fairly strongly. On the
absolute rarest of occasion, probably less than 10 people of
the many thousands who have attended the seminars, someone
might not be able to feel it even by the end of the weekend.
Just the same, you’ll most likely see the changes that
happen in a person when you work on them and realize that
Reconnective Healing® is coming through you anyway, as
demonstrated by the person you’re working on.
Remember: if you’re having difficulty
feeling it, you’re simply trying too hard!
(back
to top)
I want to have a healing. Do I want
a private session or would I be better off attending a
seminar?
It depends on several factors. First of all, it may be wise
for you to attend a seminar if your interest includes
bringing healings to others. Many people who come to the
seminars report that they receive healings merely from being
in attendance, even though their intention for attending is
to learn to facilitate healings for others. and, although we
can’t make any specific promises that this will be the case
for you, there’s clearly a lot to be said about being
immersed in these healing frequencies for an entire weekend.
It’s important to learn this work, not just for the benefits
it yields you personally, but also for the gift of being
able to offer it to help others. If your only purpose in
attending is to have a healing for yourself, you might want
to schedule a private healing session. If your desire is to
help others as well as yourself, your most appropriate path
may be to attend the seminar.

the seminars, please visit

I’d like a
private session with Dr. Pearl. How do I schedule one?
Will I have to fly to LA?
As we continue on a rather rigorous tour schedule, Eric has
little remaining availability for private sessions. There
are, however, thousands of highly proficient practitioners
whom Eric has trained and who offer sessions just as he
does. These people are able to bring about the same results
as Eric, have much greater availability and require much
less travel. Your expense, therefore, will be greatly
reduced.
You can find information on the
practitioners closest to you on the online
Directory of Practitioners. This online directory lists
you and other practitioners from all over the world and
allows you to search for them on our website at
TheReconnection.com.
We are uncertain as to when Eric may
be available again for private sessions. We see great
success through the other practitioners and feel more than
comfortable about you seeing them.
(back
to top)
I know there are other
practitioners, but isn’t going to the source best? Won’t it
be better from Dr. Pearl himself?
It seems that by mere interaction with Eric, people are able
to attune/pick up this ability almost instantly. and most,
if not all of our seminar attendees are able to begin
offering sessions upon successful completion of the seminar.
Remember, the Source is God, Love and/or Universe, choose
your word. Eric is simply the instrument through which these
healings have been introduced to the world. The Source is
always with all of us.
(back
to top)
Has Eric or any other practitioner
had success with (insert specific
illness)?
We have seen so many patients over the years that, at this
point, it’s almost impossible to remember all of the
specific cases. The important concept for you to understand
here is that three people can come in with the same
diagnosis and the same set of symptoms and receive three
different sets of results. Some of the largest and most
dramatic healings we see occur in cases where we know
nothing at all about what the patient was contending with.
As Eric says, "Oftentimes the less the practitioner "knows"
about what’s "wrong" with the patient/client, the better off
that patient/client is." and while very many people see
results that manifest physically in an immediate and
permanent fashion, on rare occasion there are some people
that do not demonstrate a recognizable response in the
beginning. Many do later on, in a few days or a few weeks.
and some may not. Most healings tend to be permanent. Some
demonstrate in their fullness immediately, some evolve over
time. Most every time, the healing you have is yours and
remains with you.
(back

What can I expect
during a Reconnective Healing® session or The Reconnection®?
What’s the best way to prepare for it? What can I do to
allow it to be most effective?
Everyone’s experience with Reconnective Healing® is unique.
Often healings are reported in an instant in just one
session, and sometimes it takes a bit longer for a healing
to unfold. If you’re lucky, your healing will come in the
form you anticipated; if you’re really lucky, your healing
will come in a form you haven’t even thought of, one that
the universe has in mind specifically for you.
Healings can come in all forms. The
best way to allow for a healing is to proceed in a state of
expectancy, without expectation or attachment. Place
yourself on the table, relax, close your eyes and simply
notice. Observe. Become both the observer and the observed.
Be in a relaxed atmosphere, lie down
on your back on a massage table or whatever other
comfortable arrangement you’ve decided on, close your eyes
and notice. Just notice. Withdraw your participatory thought
process and simply observe when there’s something to notice,
as well as when there’s nothing to notice; lie there and let
go, as if you simply had a little unexpected rest time.
I wouldn’t suggest that you try to
make your mind a blank or try to think of nothing. As a
rule, people have trouble with the concept of thinking of
nothing. The mind is always going. I suggest that you simply
notice whatever it is that brings itself to your attention.
This gives you something to do and has a tendency to
alleviate the stress often encountered when trying to think
of nothing and finding that you don’t know how. Place your
attention inside your body and allow it to travel through
you. Observing whatever you perceive as out of the ordinary
will give you enough to occupy your mind without your
getting lost in mental "shoulds" and "shouldn’ts."
Don’t breathe a special way, don’t
visualize relaxing scenes or a desired result, don’t
meditate or repeat mantras, silently or otherwise, and don’t
"do" anything else that I haven’t mentioned that you or
someone else thinks will "help." It won’t. It will simply
bring about what you’re able to do on your own and interfere
with you being able to enjoy the fullness and the reality of
the experience. and if that’s the case, you may as well stay
home. When you’re ready to let go and not attempt to
"direct" or enhance the experience, when your ego is out of
the way sufficiently so you don’t attempt to "gild the
lily," you’re ready to experience what makes Reconnective
Healing® different, what makes The Reconnection® real.
You’re ready to receive.
(back
to top)
How many
sessions will I need? How long does it take to have a
healing?
One visit—perhaps even part of one visit—may be plenty.
Generally it is recommended that you consider up to three
sessions. and, although each session is special, often
something particularly special tends to be reported about
session number three.
Healings occur in an instant. What
takes "time" is for the person to "decide" to accept the
healing. If you receive everything you’re looking for by
your first, second or third session, it’s time to let go and
allow things to unfold on their own. If you don’t receive
anything by your third session, Reconnective Healing® may
not be the appropriate way for you to receive what you’re
looking for at this time in your life. Again, you may want
to let go and allow whatever might unfold to do so. You may
choose to return in three, six, maybe even eighteen months.
The only time I might consider a few more sessions is
either: a) if a new situation arises for you; or b) if
you’ve been experiencing clear, recognizable, consistent
improvement over the first three visits and it looks as if
there’s a little more to go. At that point, I might consider
a few more sessions. After that, I would again let go and
allow it time to unfold. Reconnective Healing® is not about
regular visits or "touch-ups." You do not need to come in
for "weekly" sessions or on any kind of an "ongoing" basis.
Once you have your session(s), you "own" your change, your
healing, your evolution. It’s yours. No one can take it away
from you. Ever.
(back
to top)
Where can I find other
Practitioners in my area?
There are a few ways to find other practitioners. One way is
to join the Reconnective Association, The RA, a worldwide
support organization for Practitioners of Reconnective
Healing®. This association provides support tools to assist
you and your business in the work, including the online
Directory of Practitioners. This online directory lists
you and other practitioners from all over the world and
allows you to search for them on our website at
TheReconnection.com.
You can also find other practitioners
in your area by volunteering to assist at one of our
training seminars when the tour visits your area. Many
people find this to be an excellent way to meet
practitioners and to network with others in their areas.
