Reconnected Now!

More results from my personal Reconnection (2): Writing

One of my favorite effects that happened several months after my Reconnection is that I remembered I was born to be a writer.  Today I am finally writing again, both poetry and books.  Writing for a living was a dream I gave up in my early 20s, when I decided I couldn't make money at it -- which was the only way I knew how to value myself and base life decisions on back then.

So about a year after my personal Reconnection, I stretched myself and hired a well-known business coach to help me expand my business out to where I could feel it should be.  In our first meeting in January 2008, we decided I really had to start writing "my book".  That in itself has been a huge healing process of self-discovery, and now, almost two years later, with the help of three editors and a publicist, that book has become a series of seven books for healers, plus a few ebooks in line to boot. The first paper book is due out in 2010, and the first small ebook is available now for free at HealerToHealer.com.  More are coming...

The Plot Twist:  Even More Healing

An additional layer on this healing story is that earlier this summer (2009) I finally admitted that writing has been unusually exhausting, time-consuming, and difficult for the last year and a half. (Well, expressing ideas was easy, but editing and making it come out in the right order was very hard.) Through a series of 'coincidences' that started with listening to a wonderful (and free) Eric Pearl interview on Conscious Media Network, I have officially discovered and admitted to having the gift of dyslexia.  

I'd suspected it for a long time of course, and healed some issues early on as a healer (like not being able to find the correct next line of text).  But this summer I finally was able to easily face the issue fully and without shame, and for the first time desired to move through it with official help. One way we heal is not to wake up miraculously cured one morning, but to let go of hiding our problems out of fear and solve them.

If you know anyone with dyslexia, ADD or autism, then in addition to recommending some Reconnective Healing of course, I'd also point you to Ron Davis's fascinating books about the dyslexic mind and how he learned to learn. As a former dyslexic and autistic himself, Ron's is a beautiful story of a healed wounded healer, and he tells his tale in a Conscious Media Network interview, too. Ron Davis writes the best description I've ever read of what happens in the mind of a dyslexic. Understand your loved ones by reading:

   ~ The Gift of Dyslexia, by Ron Davis       AND     ~ The Gift of Learning, by Ron Davis

I love God's sense of humor in creating a dyslexic writer, but thanks to my Reconnection, healers can look forward to some of my books about the healer's spiritual path in the future!  Have you had any healings or spiritual evolution that surprised you since your Reconnection?

Insurance for Reconnection Practitioners at ABMP

From a January 2008 email to clients:  please check with ABMP for current information, at abmp.com.

Great news for those of you who have taken the Reconnection classes and are considering setting up a Reconnective Healing practice AND who are looking for practice insurance.  Here is one option:  consider ABMP, the Association of Bodywork and Massage Professionals, for just $199/year.  (This is where I've been insured for a few years now.)  Because one of you asked, I just got off the phone with the ABMP president, Katie Armitage, who adjusted their list of approved practices to cover Reconnective Healing and The Reconnection, yahoo!!!!

They provide liability insurance coverage, $2 million per incident, plus other benefits like a bodywork magazine, website listings, etc.  Please review their policy and get all the information before making your own decision, of course.

Usually there is a 100 hour minimum bodywork training requirement for their Practitioner Membership (membership includes insurance).  If you do not have this bodywork/massage therapy, or nursing training, however, you can now still get that membership with a "one technique letter" on the insurance policy.  That means that with your Reconnective Healing certificate(s) from class, you can get the insurance but it will only cover you doing the Reconnective healing or doing The Reconnection, whatever you have taken the class for.  Just specify Reconnective Healing, or Reconnective Healing and The Reconnection when you apply. 

Let me know if you sign up for this.  I'd like to know that it's working like she said it would!  Thanks.

Do you KNOW there's more?

"I used to think that people fell into one of three groups: those who don't believe in anything beyond their basic five senses, those who are open to the possibility that there might be something beyond those senses, and those who definitely believe there's something more.  Yet suddenly I find myself in a fourth, smaller group:  those who know there's something more."

Bach flower remedies and The Reconnection

Bach flower remedies are tinctures that hold the energy essence of a plant.  After many conversations with Reconnection clients who did and didn't use them, plus my own experiences, I believe these remedies can be useful in evening out the emotional impact of life's transitions following The Reconnection. 

We already know they don't affect the Reconnection itself.  (Not even Superman could stop that.)  But even Dr. Eric Pearl took five Bach remedies regularly after his Reconnection to help him transition more easily to this new level of Being. 

To try the remedies, find a health store that carries the line and see which ones you are drawn to.  Consider choosing up to five.  A sentence on the bottle grossly summarizes what it does.  You can make a mixutre of all five, or use them individually.  My favorite activity was to take a bath with three drops of each in it.  I didn't want to get out!

If you are indecisive, I invite you to consider Walnut, which "allows you to make or adapt to major life changes and to fulfill your ambitions free from the influence of others" (from the bottle).  From the Internet:  "Walnut helps to break links with the past so that the person can move forward with confidence and without undue suffering."  The Reconnection is impressively gentle, but change does seem to accelerate afterwards, always for the better, and towards your true life purpose.

If you have any other questions about your Reconnection or related experiences, please let me know.  Good luck and enjoy your Reconnected ride!
