Reconnective Healing: Energy Therapy with Results Part 2

Beautiful leaves that breathe light

In an earlier blog, I wrote explaining how Reconnective Healings increase immune system by causing changes in your blood. As a result of my talk at the networking group, I’ve continued reading about the experiments that have been done. In this one, I want to tell you about one of the earlier experiments.

One of the scientists was curious to see if Reconnective Healing had any effect on plant life. Dr. Gary Schwarz of the University of Arizona began working with Eric Pearl very early on and continues his studies of this healing process.

In one study, he paired 7 other types of energy healing modalities plus Reconnective Healing to perform energy work on leafs off a plant. They wanted to see how long the leaves would stay alive after being taken off the plant but given the energy work. Did you know that leaves bleed when they are taken off the parent plant? They bleed light.

So the energy was done on the separate sets of leaves with each of the modalities. It takes a normal leaf without water or soil about 12 days to die. This study showed that with energy help from seven energy modalities, the leaves could sustain life longer than normal. Reconnective Healing caused the leaves to survive the longest – 90 days. The other modalties added 2-3 weeks to the life of the leaves.

In another study with leaves, they damaged the DNA of the leaves and found that Reconnective Healing healed the leaves of the damage.

In yet another study, they put leaves in pots and took photographs of them. Reconnective Healing practitioners were given photos of some of the pots and were instructed to use the Reconnective Healing frequencies on them four times a day. The remaining group of pots did not get the frequencies. The experiment was conducted over 90 days. The control group of pots with no frequencies were dead while the pots receiving the frequencies were still alive. In fact, after 6 months, long after the experiment ended, these leaves were still alive.

Now maybe you can understand why I get so excited about Reconnective Healing. It’s very powerful. How do you react to hearing these kinds of results? What does it make you think about these frequencies? Does this help you to understand something in a different way?

Energy Therapy with Proven Results: Reconnective Healing

Caterpillar transforms into a Beautiful butterfly

Symbol of Transformation

I had the opportunity to talk about Reconnective Healing to a networking group. Due to this fact, I did some research into the effects of Reconnective Healing. One of the things that drew me to Reconnective Healing was the fact that scientists were brought in from the beginning to study this modality to determine what was happening. Remember I came from a left brain world. I love that research opportunities were utilized.

Even though I’ve always had an interest in spiritual things, I still liked having some confirmations that it could be very real. And the scientists came from various parts of the world and from some prestigious universities and organizations like Dr. William Tiller, professor emeritus at Stanford University, Dr. Konstantin Korotkov from St. Petersburg State Technical University in Russia and Dr. Gary Schwartz at the University of Arizona.

In the training, we are taught to learn 3 little words “I don’t know”. You may be wondering why we are taught that. The answer is simple. The scientists can reproduce the tests, they can prove that this happens or that happens, detail the results. However, they can’t explain why healings and other benefits occur or how. They happen. And the results are permanent.

Long term pains disappear. Tumors shrink or disappear. Moods are eleveated. Stress is relieved and much more. The scientists have shown that one Reconnective Healing session shows significant changes in psychological and immune parameters. The tests revealed that there were general increase of lymphocytes, of helper cells and suppressor cells.

So why is that important? Lymphocytes are a type of white blood cell. There are 3 major types of these cells: Natural killer cells, T cells and B cells. These are the cells that are part of our immune system. These cells respond to pathogens and create antibodies to viruses that enter our system. So increasing these types of cells results in boosting immune systems helping us to stay healthy and help us to heal.

This is just one of the results documented by the scientists. The scientists also showed the results were long lasting as well. I’ll report on other findings in another post.

Do you believe in energy therapy is effective? Do you believe that only doctors have the answers? Are you open to try other modalities? Are you ready for some transformation?

It’s All about the Moon!

My moon shot over the Ventura Pier

We headed out to the Ventura promenade the night before the super moon night to check out good photo positions. I know there are tons of photos of the moon over water in a stock gallery but I wanted one of my own! And I wanted one that was orange and big! We have many great photographers in Ventura. I consider myself a wannabe!

I’ve lived here for close to 32 years. I’ve been to the ocean, listened to the surf, photographed it in its’ many moods at many times of the day. Somehow I missed one thing. I’ve never been at the promenade near a full moon. Well, at least not at the rocky section of the promenade. I’ve known we have a lot of rocks and boulders in Ventura. Our house is on an ancient river bed and we can get some pretty massive boulders when we start digging in our yard. We found some massive ones when we began putting in a vegetable garden.

When Ron began working on the vegetable garden, he saw a rock that needed to be dug out. He dug and dug and dug and dug and dug some more. That “little rock” turned out to be a huge boulder that had to be leveraged out of the garden area! So I know Ventura has some rocks along with the hardscape, gardens, beaches and sand!

I’ve also seen the rocks at the shore. However along the promenade, the rocks line the walkway wall along the beach. Again, it never really registered. Until tonight. You see the full moon results in a nice high tide. A lot of the beach was under the water. And the waves were crashing onto the closest things: the rocks lining the promenade wall.

Clouds along the horizon delayed the viewing. I’d been listening to the waves crashing, a sound I love. This area still had some sandy beach. We decided to walk along the promenade to investigate a better perspective. Soon I heard a sound I’d not heard before. It sounded like bubbles or bubbling or babbling and I loved it. I stopped and asked Ron if he had heard it.

He said it was the ocean moving the rocks. I was mesmerized. I had to record the sound. I just loved it and couldn’t get enough of it. Sometimes it sounded like there was a undercurrent of thunder under the waves! The next night I got my moon shots, one of which I shared above for you.

Have a listen.

Have you ever heard this before? How do you like it?

Unexpected Lesson During an Arts Grants Meeting

Tall Order

I learned of a grants for arts program through the Ventura County Arts Council that combines an artist with a partner who wishes to create a benefit for the community. I had an idea and decided to check out the meeting. I currently have no partner, just an idea that has been in the back of my mind for some time.

The meeting was like other business presentations but I soon learned that it also had exercises. During the presentation, I learned that you could apply for a grant from the Arts Council. The artist and the partner could continue to do additional fundraising for the project to get the monies needed.

First we were asked to share what projects we each had in mind. I shared that I had been thinking of creating a program where my art would be loaned to patients in hospitals or convalescent homes while people were healing and that the art would contribute to the healing. It was nicely received and I was told they had done a similar project in Ojai.

Then we did another exercise. At first I was dreading them but I got into the swing of it and did them. The last assignment was a tough one. We had to write a story in 30-40 words, meaningful to those in the community about our project that would encourage someone to contribute. It was to be more about the community benefits then about the artist. I’m thinking what? 30-40 words? Is he kidding? Being a blog writer, I barely get blogs done under 500 words and he wants only 30-40. And he wanted it in 2-3 minutes. Tall order!

I called in my inner giraffe and did it. We were asked to share our stories. My mind kept me busy with all the reasons I shouldn’t share. After several had shared, I decided to share because I realized I won’t learn anything if I don’t. He was critiquing each one explaining how they could improve it.

So I read my little story aloud and in the middle of it, I got so caught up in the emotion of what I wrote, I began to tear up. When I finished, a woman said, I’ll buy. I was surprised. I have been told I can write powerfully. I accepted the compliments but wasn’t convinced of it or accepted the truth.

That night I realized what I could do with words. It was eye opening and I was awed by it. And presenter noted how only one word pointed back to me. I did what was asked. So what did I write? Here it is in 36 words after one rewrite:

“Alone, ill and ready to transition, Rosa had helped her loved ones move on. A painting arrived in her room to brighten her days. Two weeks later she returned home. She is now a hospice volunteer.”

Have you ever done an exercise that showed you what you were capable of, that showed you in a way that couldn’t be denied what you can do? What was your reaction?

Overcoming Anxiety, Restoring Joy

What are you observing?

I am always talking about looking for validation from within, yes? So why then do I forget at times and start stressing over whether so and so or what’s his name thinks about me? Did I do something to lose their love? The simple answer is I’m human.

I’d love to think that I don’t do that anymore, but I’d just be fooling myself! I had a call during the morning from a relative who was in the mode of being hurt, rejected, and feeling unloved. As I listened, I reminded them that what others thought of them has nothing to do with who they are. That when others act or say things that can appear cruel , that it all has everything to do with themselves and not with the person to whom it is directed.

Fairly soon afterwards, I found myself heading into that spiral of anxiety and worry. I kept questioning myself about what was going on with my emotions. The anxiety was building. I realized in questioning it though that the worry was dissipating. I wondered if had allowed the conversation to invade my field. I had entered the drama camp and began creating it my own in my head.

Overcoming anxiety can be accomplished but I was having some difficulty. I was either asking the wrong questions or I was not answering them with enlightened responses! This was not severe anxiety. This is the overriding anxiety that takes over your mood and makes you feel unsettled, unhappy. I couldn’t find my way back to choosing happiness and joy. I got busy. I began focusing on others, too.

Later in the day, I talked to a friend. I told her about my earlier conversation, some things that had transpired over the last few days. I was reciting the events but not getting into the emotions. I had become an observer. And in doing so, I saw it. I had begun looking for validation outside of myself! I wanted confirmation from others about me! I had slipped back into my old pattern. It happens easily.

When you look outside of yourself for validation, you give up your power to the other. In questioning my thoughts and in being the observer instead of the participant, I recognized it. As soon as I did, I found my center again.

I’ve decided to add an additional question to the questions I ask myself. Am I looking for another to approve of me? I also need to remind myself to be the observer. That makes a huge difference.

Do you do this to yourself at times? What do you do to stop the crazy making in your head?

A Blog Writer asks: What is Personal Success?

What goes through your mind?

This question has come up for me recently. I thought I’d ask all of you! I know I want to make a difference. Exactly how I don’t fully know yet. I do know that I (to paraphase Ralph Waldo Emerson) want to know that one life has breathed easier because I have lived.

So what is the measurement of success? Is it money, having a business that is well known? Is it having influence in the business world? Is it having a big house? What about being mentioned in business magazines? How often must it happen? Is it having more than your neighbors, or acquaintances or family members? Is it having more houses, more toys, more cars, more clothes? Is it having employees and prestige? Is having a title important to you?

Or do you measure personal success with having loving, caring friends, enjoying life, accepting who you are with love? Is it enjoying a sunset, a flower, playing with your children, your pets? Is success measured by how you make people feel or how they feel about your possessions?

And if you don’t achieve your personal success goals, can you still be happy? If nothing else, I hope this post is thought provoking and causes some inner reflection.

Being Judgmental

A Facebook friend, Rowena Starling, wrote a blog last week about kids pushing your buttons and that you can desensitize your buttons so that you don’t react to the kids.

Well, the last couple of days because of the holidays and a few other things that have happened, I had several buttons pushed that I thought were gone. It was interesting to see me reacting to them. I was judging my situation as bad.

Find the Beauty in Life

At one point I was ready to completely collapse into tears and I found myself looking at the emotions coming up. I realized I could collapse into the crying and have a self pity party or I could question what was going on in my thoughts to derail the pity train.

A few questions later, a few more observations and then looking forward to a fun gathering derailed the pity train. I was back enjoying the journey of life choosing to be happy with what is instead of looking at a how it could be if my test scenarios were to happen.

So what causes us to look at others, compare our situation to theirs and find ours wanting? We can’t possible know what truly is going on in others’ lives, yet we convince ourselves that they have it better. Sounds rather silly when it’s put this way.

Do you compare your life to others’ lives? If so, do you come out on top or on the bottom? And what do you do to turn that around so you are just fine exactly where you are?

What is the Role of Spiritual Healing?

Captive - appropriate name for feeling trapped!

I’ve been thinking about healing. Some people believe healing happens to them. Or maybe they are being punished for some perceived slight by their diety. If they get better, they believe either the doctors or the alternative healers cured them or healed them. There is a big missing component for me. It is the person’s own participation in the equation and their place on their own path.

Have you ever considered that there may be a strong spiritual cause for an illness? According to Louise Hays and many other spiritual teachers, there is. I agree with them. Louise Hays has a book called “Heal Your Mind, Heal Your Body”.

This is what I believe. We are all given things to experience in this life and sometimes that involves illnesses or injuries. I believe that we can learn from those experiences. When we learn what we need from the these events in our life, we heal and move on. In some cases, we receive healing frequencies that assist us in reaching a state of health. I believe these frequencies allow our emotional blocks to be removed to help facilitate our healing.

So what is our part in the healing equation? For me, I believe that if we are to learn something from the episode and we get that part, the illness goes away or we heal our injuries faster. And it’s not about how to deal with the illness but there is a component to that as well. Sometimes it’s a matter of accepting what is. In doing that, it can change and go away.

Twice I received injuries that required me to ask for help. I was terrible at asking for help. I saw it as a weakness. The first time I was single and I grudgingly accepted help. I was so uncomfortable relying on others. I didn’t learn my lesson well. I went through it again many years later and in tears, I called a friend to ask for help. And it broke the log jam.

I learned that people love to help because they get far more out of it than the person receiving the help. Yet so many of us just hate to ask for help!

There is more to share but I’ll save it for another blog.

What illnesses or injuries have you had and did you notice any internal growth in your going through the experiences? Did you notice how your attitude affected your healing process?

Love Italian meals? Try Clam Linguine

Now for a fun post! Good home cooked meal recipes can be found everywhere. You can find simple healthy food recipes that fits your time and your style. Good meals are doable in a short amount of time. Treat yourself to something special every so often to feed your soul of appreciation and gratitude. The important thing to keep them healthy is to limit using processed foods.

Right now we’re talking clam linguine, my way! It really is relatively simple and takes 20-25 minutes max unless you have to scrub the clams. Get family members or friends to help on that, have fun together and it’s done in no time. I promise you won’t get bitten either! This can be done ahead of time and put the clams back in the frig until you are ready to cook. When you bring the clams home, get them out of any plastic bag and put them in a bowl in the coldest part of your frig.

Fresh Clams in a net to give them air

First know that where you get your clams makes a big difference. If you are buying them from a supermarket or a fish vendor and know they get them from a distributor, you may want to buy some bottled clam juice to add to your dish. This recipe is for 2 lbs of small Manila clams. Also some clams are dirtier than others and they must be scrubbed with a strong bristle brush. Discard any clams whose shells have a crack or are broken. Also if they aren’t completely closed, discard those as well. For those of us in the vicinity of Ventura, we have the wonderful Jolly Oyster to buy our clams.

First the ingredients:

1. 2 lbs of small Manila clams
2. 1 large shallot, minced
3. 1-3 cloves or more of garlic, minced
4. 1/2 cup of white wine
5. 1/3 – 1/2 cup of bottled clam juice (if clams from a supermarket)
6. 2-4 tbsp Butter (or 2tbsp butter and 2 tbsp Olive oil or all Olive oil)
7. Flat leaf Italian Parsley, washed and dried
8. Sea Salt (optional)
9. Freshly ground black pepper
10. Hot chili flakes (optional)
11. 4-6 oz of regular or gluten free linguini or spaghetti

Garlic and shallots sizzling with butter, olive oil and white wine

You also want a large skillet with a lid for the clams and good sized pot to cook the pasta.

Start the water boiling for the pasta. Put the butter and/or olive oil in the skillet using medium heat. Add the minced shallot and garlic, lettingthem gently soften. After a few minutes, add the chili flakes, if using, the white wine and 1/2 cup clam juice (optional). Put the lid on and let it simmer a bit to meld the flavors.

Clams all clammed up

Once you add the pasta of your choosing to the boiling water, wait about 2-3 minutes then add the clams to the skillet covering with the lid. Depending on your clams, they should all open up in 4-7 minutes. If they are larger clams, you may need more time so adjust your schedule accordingly. While the clams are cooking, mince the fresh parsley.

When the clams are done, they sing for your supper!

The clams will look like this when they are ready, like they are singing an Italian aria (so to speak)! If you find any additional broken shells or clams that do not open, discard those.

Fantastic Clam Linguini

Drain the pasta, put them in a large bowl, add the clams and juices from the skillet, sprinkle with the freshly chopped parsley and serve. You can serve it with your favorite white wine or tea or whatever you love to drink. If you like wine, your favorite Chardonnay or a lovely Viognier will do quite nicely!

What do you like to make for that special meal that feeds your soul? Do you regard cooking and eating as a means of nourishment to other aspects of your being besides food for the body?

Need Mindfulness Training? Try cooking!

After much deliberation on what to cook for dinner one night, I finally made the decision to do Osso Buco Milanese. Now many would think that deliberating about what to cook is not that important! However, I’m a foodie and for foodies, it’s important. It was raining and cold with some sleet. I was wanting some wonderful luscious warmth for dinner. I just needed one of my healthy recipes.

While I began to prepare the dish, I realized that most of the time that I am cooking, I’m not having so much mind chatter. I’m concentrating on washing, cutting, measuring, browning, etc. And during all that, I may check the recipe if I happen to be using one and considering whether to alter anything in it. Yet my attention is on the dish I am cooking. It’s a peaceful time, restorative.

As I stood at the cutting board chopping carrots, I wondered why some people say they hate cooking. I had not thought about it this way before but I realized that it allows you to let go, be creative, be present and enjoy your senses in the process. You start off using your eyes to read the recipe and looking, gathering your ingredients. Then touch is added as you wash, dry and/or cut. The sound of chopping or mincing, water running, something sizzling in the pan occurs from the moment you begin to prepare the dish.

Then if you are browning anything, your smell engages. Sometimes the smell gets activated while prepping if you chop garlic or aromatic spices and herbs.Your sight might blur some if you tear up chopping onions. During the whole thing, you are creating. And the smells start to merge and create something entirely new as the aromas merge to create the whole it is to become.

The smell is enticing, luring you into the kitchen to check on its’ progress and sometimes you can’t wait for it to get done. And if you make more than needed for one meal, you can freeze it or use in a couple of days for an easy meal. Once again, you get to smell that wonderful aroma as it reheats as I am now, smelling a wonderful Italian meat sauce I made a few weeks ago.

Osso Buco Milanese

And your reward for all this? Your tastebuds will tell you. Sometimes you may even get to sample it while it’s cooking in case you need to adjust any seasonings. The anticipation is an integral part of the whole. Sitting down to enjoy it takes you to another dimension altogether.

Yes, cooking is sensual as is eating. It’s a wonderful pleasure of life. Cooking uses the senses, nourishes your soul, engages your creativity.

Do you like cooking? Do you see it as a chore? What if you changed your perspective on it? What is your favorite dish to make?
