Reconnective Healing – A Newer and Different Modality than Reiki

As a Reiki teacher, I have walked the Reiki path for awhile now and this healing modality has made such a positive transformation in my own life. I’m sure many would agree that Reiki has been a remarkable benefit to themselves and to those around them. So I love Reiki; I’ve reaped many benefits, but still… I am a student of the Universe and have found myself on a fascinating quest for information about other forms of healing as well.

Reconnective Healing is a newer system, discovered by Dr. Eric Pearl, who was originally a chiropractor He is now considered a powerful healer, well-known all over the world. His Reconnective Healing seminar sold out Madison Square Garden and he gives workshops internationally. I discovered him quite by accident (is anything an accident?) when I was invited by an internet healing community to join their Reconnective group.

I viewed fascinating videos of Dr. Eric Pearl speaking about his healing method. I was eagerly drawn in by his hearty and unique sense of humor and authenticity. So I immediately read his book, and over time have met with some of his certified practitioners to have a session and get further information.

A very major difference between Reiki and Reconnective is that Reiki is has roots in tradition and rituals begun by founder Mikao Usui, traditions which are continued today by the society that fruthered his Reiki practices in Japan after his death. Reconnective healing is pure healing with basically no rituals involved. A practitioner places his hands usually above the client and most healing occurs on this level. There are no symbols, no cleansing or preparation of any sort.

From the website, here is a brief explanation: “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.” This system is often described as composed of “light and information.”

I had listened to several interviews given by Dr. Pearl, mostly recorded a few years back. However, one day he was here interviewed on Conscious Dialogs (Blogtalk Radio) by radio host Anita Pathik Law. I phoned in from my cell phone from the car to listen live.

After the initial part of the interview, Anita was beginning to take questions from callers and suddenly, she announced that my area code was unmuted, and did I have a question or comment for Dr. Pearl? Well, you can imagine my surprise at suddenly finding myself on the air, but I was thrilled to be speaking live one-to-one with him. He certainly encouraged me to take a workshop — which I may do at some point in the future. Maybe the Universe has further plans for me, and perhaps Reconnective Healing will one day become an addition to my own personal “repertoire” of healing frequencies. After all, one can never have too much healing!
