Reconnected Now!

Healing the lake

From my newsletter before I started this blog, July 5, 2008:

Well!  I could spend every post talking about the incredible coincidences that punctuate my days!  Thursday I had arranged to meet my friend Althea in Madison, WI, where we went for a walk along Lake Monona.  A small park along the lakefront tugged at me hard and we crossed the street.  I followed my feet onto a floating dock and, with all the recent flooding in Wisconsin, we walked UP the hinged first segment of (instead of the usual DOWN). 

I love looking out over water, don't you?  At my feet, it was fascinating that the current under the water (full of the green dots of algae) was going one direction, (toward the dock), while the surface of the water (covered with tiny flower petals) was going another (toward the middle of the lake).  What a metaphor for people, I said -- trying to appear on the surface to be something different than we are underneath!

Then I saw the fish -- tons of little bluegills and a striped perch or two.  I had to say HI!  They were everywhere.  Then Althea mentioned it felt like a kind of fog was over the lake and I could feel it too.  Thick, slow.  So while we continued chatting, I did some Reconnective Healing over the water to see if that would help.  You never know about healing, but you can always offer it. 

I played, and we talked.  Then, after several minutes the wind picked up suddenly and tiny ripples on the water made it look all sparkly.  I smiled and asked Althea if the lake felt the same, and, surprised, she said no, not at all.  Then we tuned into something that felt like a giant muddy morass in the middle of the lake, and I focused there.  After a while longer, we agreed that it felt like some container was still there but it was empty now, whatever that means.  But overall, the lake felt much better. 

As we turned to leave she pointed down and said, "Look!"  Now both layers of the water were going in exactly the same direction. 

We finished our delightful walk. 

Feeling more intensely after The Reconnection

A Reconnection-based HealerToHealer.com entry from Sunday, March 25, 2007, less than 2 months after my Reconnection:

I am Spring
I have never been so connected to Spring. I have never in my life been so aware of every moment of melting snow, every degree of warming air, each green bud peeking up through the dirt, even the daffodils in the grocery store!  Friday night, on my amazing healing circle conference call, we began, as we do, with a visualization to harmonize us together -- but this time, instead of connecting with light, we connected with darkness. With cool, receptive, comforting, refreshing, nurturing yin darkness. It was a very powerful connection. After a while, I felt like a seed in the earth, just beginning to wake up. By the end of the call, I felt fully nourished and ready to emerge. (I love those calls!)

And this morning, it felt like an exquisite experience to be able to hop out of bed without thinking "brrr", then to so easily turn off the shower water when I washed my hair and enjoy the coolness of my wet skin instead of shivering. I love how much joy I find and feel in these simple things! I had no idea life could be this good.

Much has changed in me and in my life in the last seven months or so. Among other things, in February I had a Reconnection, and it was so wonderful that I am now planning to take the training for this unusual process later this year. The Reconnection fully reconnects you to who you are, as well as the resources of the earth and the Universe. I have felt better, slept better, been healthier and have moved through "stuff" much easier since then. Is this what has so reconnected me with spring?

It's like I AM spring. I AM the buds emerging from the earth. I AM the birds singing. (I saw my first redwinged blackbird three weeks ago already!) I AM the thawing and relaxing of the ground.

May such Peace and Joy be yours, too!

Polishing silver with Reconnective Healing

Story from my client newsletter, July 2008:

Yesterday, I wanted to wear my silver star necklace and earrings that I hadn’t worn in 10 years.  They were totally tarnished black, so I got out the silver polish.  I don’t have the super-quick dip-it kind, so I daubed on the regular creamy blue polish and added elbow grease.  I barely made a dent after a several minutes!  The black came off the edges of the stars, but barely budged from the middles.  Of course, I wanted to be hurrying and leaving the house early at the moment.  I added elbow grease. 

I’ve been playing recently with Reconnective Healing –- trying it out on my plants, in my yard, on the kids' mosquito bites.  Remember that once you have been Reconnected, or even have had a Reconnective Healing session, you too have these frequencies available to you all the time.  

Well, polishing was getting boring fast so I decided to play.  For fun I started doing Reconnective Healing while I worked.  I expected nothing of course -- they didn't cover working on jewelery in class.

But my mouth dropped open when immediately I saw the black start to fade before my eyes!  I kid you not.  I couldn't believe it.  I stopped for a few seconds, stopped the Healing, and then polished the regular way again, just using force.  Like before, I could see slight changes only after several passes of the cloth.

So after another minute of that, I shifted into Reconnective Healing again. Immediately, I could see a slight change with each pass of the cloth. Wow. Shocked and confused, but still in a hurry, I used the Reconnective Healing to finish fast.

OK.  What was going on?  Does Reconnective Healing really polish silver?  Does it change the inanimate silver molecules?  Does it allow the necklace to move closer to its full potential?  Does it allow order to be created from disorder and decay on its surface?  I have no clue!  But ponder this:  Reconnective frequencies connect living beings like you to your Full Potential, and to your life's purpose, or why you're here. They make it easier for you to do what you came here to do, and you can heal, even instantly, if that's getting in your way.

Yesterday morning my destination was church, to talk about meditation and talk to the kids about how most adults wish they were more childlike, even as we ask them to act more grown up.  The earring polishing was delaying me, so finishing that faster would move me along my spiritual path.  How the frequencies worked to actually untarnish the silver, I am not sure.  Perhaps tarnished silver is just another of those illusions that The Reconnection helps you to see though in very real and immediate ways.  ;)

I do love how my life has become a delightful adventure since my Reconnection!  How about yours?

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."

You have what you need when you need it

A friend and I traded a Reconnective Healing session after she took the level I/II class.  We had briefly discussed that a session is exactly 30 minutes, and I said sometimes my hands will drop by themselves and when I look over at the clock it's been exactly a half hour! 

But my friend, doing her first actual full session, was feeling a bit uncertain.  When 30 minutes rolled around, she saw that I was still in register and could still feel the frequencies moving around.  She wasn't sure how to proceed, wondering to herself, "Should I stop now?"

That very second, from the next room, my 4-year-old yelled at her sister:  "STOP!"

So cool. 

"Tune up your engine" with Reconnective Healing ®

Another client metaphor about what The Reconnection® does: gives you a "tuneup".

This client had a dream the night before he came to see me that he was taking his car in to an auto mechanic.  The mechanic's name was "Gates".  (As in opening a new gate, I was thinking.) The mechanic worked on his car and tuned it up very nicely.  My client was very happy, end of dream.

This client had never been to this area before his first appointment.  Imagine his surprise when he noticed "Gates Autobody" off the highway about 6 minutes down the road.  I'd forgotten that was there.

Coincidence?  Or more like what my clients and I jokingly call a "Recoincidence", a Reconnection-related coincidence?  As Dannion Brinkley so aptly puts it:  "I believe in coincidences.  I've just never seen one."

The Reconnection untangled one client from the weeds

Many clients have beautiful symbolic visions on the table during their Reconnection that seem to represent the process itself.  Here was the first such experience I heard:

I saw a motor boat with its propellers caught in the weeds all tangled.  So the boat stopped trying to fight the weeds, and instead reversed the engine and the propellers.  Most of the weeds came loose, but when the boat tried going forward again it was still a little tangled.  So it went into reverse a second time, then all the weeds came off, and the boat moved forward completely free.

The metaphor makes a lot of sense.  The Reconnection is partly done after the end of the first day, with the finishing touch applied in the second appointment.  As one practitioner said:  "We baste the first day and weld the second day."  After which, according to this vision, we can move forward much more freely.
