CREATION OF ADAM BY MICHELANGELO U n i v e r s al l y B ou nd ENERGY WORK FOCUSES ON RECONNECTING BODY AND UNIVERSE. By Celene Carillo I t started with a gypsy on the Venice Beach boardwalk in 1993. It has become an energetic phenomenon, making its way from this continent to Europe and Australia. It’s called The Reconnection, and the foremost conduit for this new form of energy work, and the man who trademarked its name, is Dr. Eric Pearl, a former chiro- practor from Los Angeles. “The reconnective frequencies — it’s much more than frequencies — it’s hard to find words that actually communicate what this is. It’s more than healing. We’re talking about healing and evolution,” says Pearl. I spoke with him by phone while he was teaching a Reconnection seminar in Dallas, Tex. “I can tell you what the researchers are positing … they’re new frequencies. It’s new and it’s old. It’s old because it’s from the uni- verse, but it’s new because it has never been on Earth. These are greater energy frequen- cies than ever before.” While heading his chiropractic practice in L.A. in the ’90s, Pearl was given an unre- markable card reading by the Venice Beach gypsy. She offered to perform a healing on him at the cost of $333 that would change his life forever. He says he didn’t even consider it. But at the gypsy’s prompting, Pearl did read chapter 3.1.7 of The Book of Knowledge: The Keys of Enoch, a 1973 spir- itual scientific textbook penned by J.J. Hurtak, apparently with the help of two high- er, superluminal beings. Intrigued by what he learned, he went back to the gypsy and received the $333 healing that would, in fact, change every- thing for him and blossom into what is today — The Reconnection. After the healing, Pearl felt different, as did the patients he worked with. They began to sense other people in the room as he worked on them. They said they felt his hands before he touched them; they told Pearl they were seeing beautiful colors and hearing unrecognizable tones; they saw angels, some of them; they even began to W A R NING: T o o m an y s w e e t s m a y c a u s e u n e x pl ain abl e b e h a vior !

Before Pearl knew it, people were coming from all over to see him. Pearl now practices and teaches The Reconnection full-time. He has authored a book, The Reconnection: Heal Others, Heal Yourself, has appeared on national television, and has taught The Reconnection to upwards of 7,000 people around the world. His ener- getic work has intrigued scientists at top uni- versities and medical centers, namely the University of Arizona and Cedars Sinai. His clients attest to healings from serious dis- eases like chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, severe scoliosis, cerebral palsy and even cancer — not to mention experi- encing major life changes. G e t t i ng C on n e c te d Interestingly, the transfer of reconnective energy from practitioner to client does not involve touch at all. In a session, a practi- tioner’s hands can be inches or feet away from a client’s body at any time. “Accessing it [the energy] involves listening with your hands, becoming aware of a certain sensa- tion in your hands. It’s listening with a dif- ferent sense,” says Pearl. According to Pearl, there are two differ- ent ways reconnective energy is used — in a Reconnective Healing, or The Reconnection itself. A healing is done in a single session, and should always be performed before The Reconnection. The Reconnection takes place over two sessions, with one or two days between them at most. “A healing allows healing energy, light and information to come to you in an unstructured form,” says Pearl. “It’s a rela- tively free form. You can increase registers — the body’s involuntary physical responses to the reconnective healing frequencies — play with it.” The Reconnection is supposed to have even further-reaching effects than a healing, and meridians are the keys. In traditional Chinese medicine, meridians are pathways on the body along which qi — life force — circulates to supply the body’s energy and nourishment. Acupuncturists, Shiatsu masseuses and other healers use the meridi- ans in their work, as well. “Meridians were once more effective than they are now, because they used to correspond with ley lines, like gridlines, that encircle the planet and extend into the universe,” says Pearl. “Ley lines encircle the globe. They form vor- texes where the lines meet, in places like Machu Picchu and Sedona.” At one point in our evolution, says Pearl, we became disconnected from these ley lines, and we began to evolve at a slower rate than when we were connected. But in The Reconnection the practitioner brings in this new energy, via what are called axiatonal lines, that serve to connect us to the ley lines and their universal gridwork once again. M a g ic N u mb e r If anything, Pearl wants people to recog- nize that anyone can do this work. “I realized this gift would be accessible to people who came into contact with it … we are moving into a new level of experience as human beings,” he says. “Someday this will become second nature to us.” Yet The Reconnection doesn’t come cheap. While it is up to the practitioner to set the price of a healing, generally in the $50 to “RECONNECTIVE ENERGY.” WHAT IS IT? In his book The Reconnection: Heal Others, Heal Yourself, Dr. Eric Pearl describes it as tapping into a healing frequency that brings in light and information allowing us to reconnect with our own healing ability. From my own experience I would say it's connecting to the essence of our souls. There are two separate components to Reconnective energy. THE RECONNECTION TM and RECONNECTIVE HEALING TM . During a Reconnective Healing TM session I surround you with the Reconnective energy, allow- ing for healing of mind, body, and spirit. Clients feel the energy as tingling sensations, warmth, or an altered state of reality. Following the session you typically feel calm, grounded, with a renewed sense of well-being. The energies are initiated at the beginning of the session and con- tinue working long after the visit has ended. Healing from depression, chronic illness and cancer have been documented. Three sessions bring optimal results. The Reconnection TM activates new lines connecting us to the Universal Gridwork. Originally the meridian lines, or acupuncture lines, on our bodies were connected to the grid lines that encir- cle the planet. These grid lines were designed to continue out and connect us to a larger grid, tying us to the entire Universe. Over time we became disconnected from these lines. During The Reconnection TM you will again be connected and your life forever changed as your consciousness is allowed to expand and shift. The Reconnection TM is done in two sessions preferably on con- secutive days. Client's experiences during the sessions vary: some see brilliant colors, others feel a presence in the room. Post session experi- ences can run the gamut from a sense of well being to more dramatic individualistic changes.
