RECONNECTIVE HEALING Healing can come in all forms. Place yourself on the table, relax, close your eyes and simply notice. Observe. Become both the observer and the observed. Withdraw your participatory thought processes and simply observe when there's something to notice, as well as when there's nothing to notice. Lie there and let go, as if you had a little unexpected rest time. Don't breathe in a special way, don't visualise relaxing scenes or a desired result, don't meditate or repeat mantras, and don't "do" anything. Just be ready to receive. That is all that is needed. – Dr Eric Pearl More energy/balance More confidence/self worth More clarity/focus/creativity A greater sense of wellbeing And an entry point to your true purpose Be prepared for what is, for many, a life changing experience
