An Introduction to Reconnective Healing® - by Christine Upchurch, M.S.
Reconnective Healing is a type of non-touch healing that is used for healing on all levels: physical, emotional, and spiritual. The effects of Reconnective Healing are so powerful that it has been the subject of scientific research and the topic of several books.
Reconnective Healing's initial appearance came more than a decade ago through a California chiropractor by the name of Dr. Eric Pearl. After an unusual series of events, he found that his patients could feel his hands before he touched them, and some of them experienced amazing healings unrelated to chiropractic care. After word spread about this, Dr. Pearl's chiropractic practice became a successful healing practice; he was working long hours to meet the demand of clients, including many from far away.
Seeing the power of these new healing frequencies and realizing that one man could not work on everyone in need of this, Dr. Pearl set out on a mission: to make Reconnective Healing available to everyone. He does this today by giving seminars around the world, sharing these frequencies, and teaching the approach to and philosophy behind Reconnective Healing so that others can facilitate healings in their own right.
There have been numerous healings facilitated by Dr. Pearl as well as by other practitioners trained by him. Physical healings have been reported by individuals with ailments such as chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, pain, various cancers, autism, infertility, irritable bowel syndrome, arthritis, multiple sclerosis, and AIDs-related illnesses, to name a few.
Reconnective Healing is not like a tool in conventional medicine that targets a particular illness or symptom, so we wouldn't say that it is helpful in the case of this disease or that problem. Instead, Reconnective Healing works on the individual. This means that there can be three persons with the same problem who have three totally different outcomes: one with complete resolution of the problem, one with some improvement, and one with no healing perceived. But since this works on the individual, it also means that regardless of a person's illness or problem, Reconnective Healing may be beneficial.
Since Reconnective Healing works on the whole person, it can heal not only on the physical level but also on the emotional and spiritual levels as well. In my own practice I have seen individuals come in with the hope of eliminating a physical problem, only to be surprised by healings that occur on levels well beyond that.
For instance on the emotional level, during a session I have seen a person release a painful childhood memory, and when he came in for his next session his physical problem had resolved. After Reconnective Healing I have seen individuals suddenly give up addictions such as cigarette smoking and overeating, and one client told me that after Reconnective Healing she was finally facing her emotional issues, something she said she hadn't done in more than a decade of therapy.
On a spiritual level, it is quite common for individuals to shift their perception of reality or expand their consciousness after a session. Some people experience rather extraordinary things during or after their sessions. During a session, some see lights with their eyes closed or feel several sets of "hands" on them even though the practitioner hasn't touched them. After a session, clients sometimes experience unusual events that indicate their healing is continuing. These experiences often change a person. I have also seen individuals begin to see auras (sometimes much to their surprise), or begin to feel the presence of some unseen "support system" after exposure to these frequencies.
When a person has a Reconnective Healing session, he/she lays on a massage table and the practitioner moves his/her hands anywhere from a few inches above to several feet away from the client. Because there is no touching, some might categorize Reconnective Healing as a type of "energy healing."
However the term "energy" is insufficient to describe Reconnective Healing because, unlike energy in the scientific sense, the effect of these frequencies often increases with distance, a simple fact that we routinely have beginners demonstrate for themselves during the introductory seminars. So we use the broader term "frequencies" to describe it instead. We believe these frequencies are actually light and information that benefit the client, the practitioner, and ultimately the world.
Reconnective Healing differs from other "energy healing" systems in several ways. Not only are the Reconnective Healing frequencies extremely palpable, but the client physically responds to these frequencies in a way that is obvious to an observer.
During a session there is no diagnosis of the person's energy field, no controlling or directing of these frequencies, and no specific routine to follow. Instead the practitioner uses sensations that he/she experiences along with the client's physical cues to determine how to proceed. The practitioner's role is to introduce the frequencies, connect with the client, carefully observe the client's response to these frequencies, and remain fully present. This makes it fairly simple to learn. The basics can be taught in a weekend. But, to do this well, a practitioner must also let go of technique and the desire to control as well as release all attachment to outcome, which, in our rational-based, ego-driven world can be difficult.
Unlike with many other healing systems (such as chiropractic and acupuncture), with this approach to healing there is no long-term commitment required. When a person has Reconnective Healing for a particular problem, it is typically completed in two to three sessions. In addition to using these frequencies for healing as described above, these frequencies can also be used to reconnect a person's energy lines to the grid lines that encircle the earth and tie us into the fullness of the universe. This is known as The Reconnection, and its purpose is to reconnect a person to their soul's purpose and achieve maximum potential. The Reconnection takes place in two sessions about a day apart.
