Feature Story

Reconnective Healing: Where’s the Proof?

We’re all searching for answers, to one degree or another. Who are we in this great big universe? What is out there? How

does it all fit together? How do we make sense of the bad things that happen on earth? What were we before we were born and what

do we become after we die? We will never really know for sure in this life. Our knowledge and perceptions of the ‘other side’, or the

‘master plan’ seem to come to us in fragments through darkened glass, via glimpses of intuition, and feelings of recognition when

we hear or read things that ring true for us.

And maybe that’s the way it’s meant to be. As Kryon says, “if you could see your full soul, and know what was on the other

side of the veil, then there would be no need for your lesson here… then we (the Universe) would ‘turn on the lights’ and you would

all go home! Class dismissed.” [www.kryon.com]

For me the clearest proof of the existence of something beyond ourselves has come in the form of Reconnective Healing.

There is no mistaking the strong, very palpable energy in my hands when I am working with someone, in person or by distance

healing, and no mistaking the clearly visible responses that I have seen in the person lying in front of me. I am not even touching

them and there is strong energy flowing through me and out of my hands and causing a reaction in their bodies. Some responses

a person couldn’t intentionally replicate, such as rippling of the muscles and tendons under the skin like when a finger is run across

a piano keyboard.

Now some leading scientists have revealed their findings which have given me further proof about the reality of this energy.

Dr William Tiller, Emeritus Professor of Materials Science at Stanford University and star of the recent What the Bleep films, believes

it is a new, higher level of energy - magnetoelectric energy which also contains an aspect of light. With Reconnective Healing, he

says, “many kinds of energy and light are flowing through the healer … In other words, what we're talking about is bringing it beyond

just what has been classically known as energy healing into a broader spectrum of energy, light and information.”

One of the experiments carried out by Dr Tiller and his team took place at a Reconnective Healing training seminar in

Sedona last year. What they found was quite remarkable. The room itself became conditioned for healing before the attendees

even came into the room - in scientific terms they measured a higher gauge symmetry state than in normal reality. Two days later

at the end of the seminar, the effective energy content of the room was huge. In more understandable terms, to give that same

excess energy content, a normal space would have required a temperature increase of 300 degrees centigrade!

Dr Gary Schwarz is Director of Medicine at the University of Arizona and author of several books on energy healing. He

conducted a series of controlled experiments into what happens when a Reconnective Healer sends energy to a recipient. The

first test showed that blindfolded subjects could detect the energy up to 83% of the time. The second showed that the energy

functions like an electromagnetic signal. The third showed that the sender’s heart wave, measured by EKG, imprints itself on the

receiver’s brainwave, measured by EEG. “Most significant in this third experiment,” Schwartz says, “is that whether or not the

receiver was consciously aware of the energy, the EKG imprinted just the same, so there is unconscious energy detection that

can be recorded electromagnetically.”

Health in the home Corner

(how to keep your family allergy & toxin free)

Dust Sensitivities:

How many of us are constantly sneezing or getting dry itchy eyes, and even show signs of asthma. I have found that going into many

different buildings and homes: the air can be so different and my sensitivities will be triggered and most of the time due to dust and

bad air. Usually I will get itchy eyes, or a sore throat.

The major dust collectors are: rugs and carpets, furniture, books and stuffed animals. We may vacuum our floors, yet forget the furniture

and window coverings. If a person has really strong sensitivities, we suggest that the flooring in the main living area and bedroom

be changed over to hardwood. Vacuum off those books, etc once a month or more. Change the furnace filter often in the winter and

wash or vacuum those window coverings 2 – 3 times a year.

If you have children, moniter their reaction to the different areas that they are in. It is healthier, easier and safer to remove the irritant

than to see our families on medications and masking the symptoms.

(food alternatives & heath)

Eczema:

Eczema is a skin irritation that can happen to people of all ages. Everyone is different and eating habits can show through our skin

and in the next person in weight, lack of energy etc. Our bodies detox through the skin, kidneys, colon, liver and lungs. Eczema is a

symptom that shows our bodies are missing something and are not being nourished properly from the inside. Following are some

of the ways that help the body to produce healthier skin:

Essential fatty oils: flax seed oil, evening primrose oil, borage oil, vitamin E oil and selenium. Oils can be consumed by taking

capsules or in a form that we can add to our meals and cooking.

Raw and unroasted pumpkin and sunflower seeds: daily for the zinc. Zinc and B6 metabolize essential fatty acids.

Coconut Oil: applied topically: there are coconut oils that don’t have a smell to them and may be more preferred for the skin.

** Pork and margarine are not easily digested, and are found to be unfavorable for those with eczema.

(books)

“Edible & Medicinal Plants of the Rocky Mountains & Neighboring Territories” by Terry Willard Ph.D. This is the best book that I have

seen for descriptions, healing properties and pictures. The pictures are in color and seeing them made the connection so much faster,

as I have always wondered what some of them were.

“Herbal Healing for Women” by Rosemary Gladstar. Wonderful book of tinctures, recipes, and ideas for increasing the daily health of

women.
