H an ds O n My own introduction to The Reconnection was with Elizabeth Midwinter, a licensed Eugene Reconnection Healing practitioner who Pearl had trained. She says, “The reconnective energy is a vibration, or an energy, or a frequency that comes through my hands. It’s a very angelic energy, and it’s a heal- ing energy. I think it connects us with our higher self and with our souls for healing. And it’s a wonder- ful experience.” Midwinter, who offered to perform both a recon- nective healing, as well as The Reconnection, explained, “When you have a healing, which I’ll do on you today, you are surrounded with the ener- gy … I work on your chakras, and I like to get it to the point where they pulse in my hand … After about 20 min- utes into the ses- sion, I just follow it. I’m there. I just try and be the clearest channel that I can be for the energy to come through me.” Midwinter continued, “So the first day of The Reconnection you’re opening up these lines. It’s as if a beam of light is coming through my hand, and I’m going along, trac- ing these lines on your body and your face. And then the second day you are redoing the lines, and then you seal the person off. And it’s good for a life- time.” This first healing session Sandra Norris Wheeler started out simply enough: I lay on the table, closed my eyes, and tried to keep myself as open as I could to what might happen. Almost immediately the atmosphere in the room changed. Energetically, it was as though some sort of light show I could feel with my eyes closed was playing around my body. I left the session feeling as though I was floating in a balmy sea somewhere, and blew the rest of my day sitting in the sun. Advice: If you decide to try either form of this ener- gy work, schedule nothing physically or intellectually strenuous afterward. You might as well pop a prescription painkiller and try to do your taxes. My second session — the first of The Reconnection — was very similar to the healing, but the energy surrounding my body was much more intense. It was like Midwinter had turned the ener- gy knob to “high.” The third day, when I was sealed, was just as intense as the second. I felt very cocooned. In fact, I felt reconnected. Midwinter can be reached at 485-5282. Renee Sherman, a licensed practitioner who now lives in Washington, still fre- quents Eugene and per- forms The Reconnection here. She can be reached at (866) 333-4458 (the threes are deliber- ate). Also prac- ticing in Eugene is Barbara Joy Weston, who can be reached at 689-2145. Names of any other licensed area practitioners, as well as more information about The Reconnection itself can be found at Pearl’s web- site, www.thereconnection.com Eric Pearl will be in Portland teaching a seminar Sept. 5 , 6, and 7; and in Seattle Sept. 12, 13, and 14. More seminar infor- mation is available at (800) 569-1002. ew BODY’S MERIDIAN POINTS $100 range, Pearl asks that $333 always be charged for The Reconnection. According to Pearl, the woman who taught his gypsy “channeled information and it vibrated with 333.” When I remarked that $333 is expensive, Pearl told me, “If you make it $3.33, many people will only allow themselves to get $3.33 of healing. There are certain things in life that have a certain value … when people recognize that value, they create the money.” Fun & Friendly After School Childcare Homework Club Sports and Gym Group Games Music Cooking 23 years ExtensiveProfessional Experience Crafts Welcoming new clients for...
