July/August 2002 Living Now
The Reconnection

by An Interview With Eric Pearl

Eric Pearl, the author of The Reconnection: Heal Others, Heal Yourself, kept me laughing during this entire interview. His amazing method of reconnecting DNA strands "came" to him in 1983. Here is an excerpt of our conversation.

Connie: Tell me what Reconnection is; where did the name come from?

Eric: First, The Reconnection is a name I came up with trying to understand what the process is. I was a chiropractor for 12 years, with one of the largest practices here in LA. Then one Friday I left work as a chiropractor and I came back on Monday as something else--what I didn't know. Patients reported they could feel my hands before I touched them and they experienced healings from cancer, chronic fatigue, aids related diseases, cerebral palsy, and other illnesses from me simply holding my hands near them. I'm now the subject of ongoing research at the University of Arizona and am invited to speak around the world. Researchers tell me I seem to be a bridge between science and spirituality. My gift is that I can tap into a healing energy that allows others to heal or reconnect with their own healing ability. Even bigger is that I can transmit this ability to others which is why I wrote the book The Reconnection, to teach others how to bring healing to their children, parents, families and friends, almost anyone. So the reason I call it the Reconnection evolved from people saying "What is it you did?" I'd say "I didn't do anything and don't tell anyone!" And more and more people would show up and say "I'll have what she had."

Connie: (Laughter)

Eric: People were saying "Can you teach this?" and I 'd say "No, how can I teach it if I don't even know what it is?"

Connie: (More laughter)

Eric: I had quite famous people come to me and tell me to go out and teach it and I still said I couldn't. Finally, I realized people were becoming attuned and could carry new, larger, more comprehensive energies than ever before. So, Andrew Weil invited me to speak at the University of Arizona and his head researcher asked if he could bring a group to work with me. He brought in a group and began measuring their body skin temperature and moisture levels, brain waves, random event generation and gamma radiation in the space. I taught them to feel the energy, recognize it, play with it. Then the group was measured again. Virtually all of their measurements increased statistically, except the gamma radiation in the room which decreased statistically. This surprised researchers.

I started traveling on spare weekends and since I didn't know what to call it others started naming it. In New Jersey it was Pearl Technique; in the Midwest, High Energy Technique and some place else it was Dr. Pearl's High Frequency. I had to come up with a name.

Between January and April 1984 a number of patients went into a sort of trance as I worked on them. During the trance they repeated some of the following phrases: "We are here to tell you to continue what you are doing. What you are doing is bringing light and information onto the planet. What you are doing is reconnecting strings and strands." I knew that a lot of answers and insights were in the phrase, "reconnecting strings and strands."

Also, there is a story that at one time the meridian lines on our bodies were much more effective than they are now. They were our tie to the universe. These lines connected our body to the planet. At the time of the separation we were disconnected from that system and that's why we began to call it The Reconnection.

The usual concept of healers is very disempowering. The Reconnection is empowering because it can be gifted to you. Anything I can do you can do as well. And it is hitting the mainstream. I recently spoke to a full house in Madison Square Garden--that's a lot of people! I just got a letter from the parents of a 5 year old with cerebral palsy who could not walk without holding onto furniture and walking on his toes with his hands in the air. He had been to therapist since he was born. We did a healing session and within 30 minutes he stood up, feet flat, arms down and could walk and run up and down the hallways. What's wonderful is that his father is a western MD and his mother, a nurse. Not only did the mother and father attend my seminars, but the child's therapist came.

And when I'm traveling and my assistant answers the phone--he can do this same work. One can get the information from my book. I'm not sure how one gets it from the book--from some encoded woo-woo frequency or what? But I do spend time in the book teaching the how to's and giving my best understanding of the frequencies.

Or one can come to the seminars--like the ones that will be in Portland in July. This is not about just one person being the healer, but us evolving. There's a lot of information on the Web site: www.drericpearl.com or by phone 1-800-569-1002.

Connie: Thanks Eric for taking this time to talk with me.
