My Story: Healing Ad Infinitum
As a youngster and teenager I had a couple of bothersome health issues but felt fairly strong throughout my childhood. Once I became an adult, however, problems began by showing up first in my thyroid. Over a 20-year period I tried various medications including Armour, Synthroid and Cytomel in an effort to alleviate the 25 or so different hypothyroid symptoms I was suffering from. I also tried many alternative treatments. My thyroid problem progressed into an autoimmune disorder called Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis, wherein the body begins to attack and destroy the thyroid gland itself. Even worse than the troubles with my thyroid were the chronic and horribly painful migraines I developed. Imagine that four times a month you feel like someone is shoving an ice pick through your eye socket, the pain lasts for at least three days straight, and half of that is spent hugging the porcelain throne because of the nausea. Alternative treatments brought little relief so I used a number of different medications over a 15-year period, even giving myself shots (until they quit working) to alleviate the pain enough so I could function at work. And not surprisingly, there were side effects. Back in 2003, after being laid off from a long-term high-stress corporate job in the tech industry, I became ill and needed about a year to recuperate enough to work again. My primary challenge was severe fatigue. I felt like a limp noodle. After moving to the Bay Area for a new job, I became ill again in the winter of 2004, only this time far worse. What followed were months of increasingly debilitating, nearly daily headaches of a different nature than the migraines I'd long experienced, nausea which kept me from eating, fatigue which left me mostly bed-ridden and unable to take care of myself properly, and unbearable pain throughout my body. It seemed that I had developed another autoimmune disease, which is apparently not uncommon once you have one. While not definitively diagnosed, my doctor suspected lupus. I was ready, and expected, to leave this world behind in July 2005. Looking back on it, I have a mental picture of Fred Sanford clutching his chest, looking skyward and saying “Ohhhhh...this is the big one! I’m comin’ to join you!” My own experience wasn’t anywhere near as amusing, but I do feel a bit lighter about it now. In my worst moment the night I felt myself dying, I cried out to God to either take me now or heal me from the pain, because I could no longer live this way. Needless to say, I was given Option B.
Learning About Reconnective Healing
The next day I called a dear friend in Germany who has a healing practice and told her how critically ill I was. She suggested I try some things in a particular order, including Reconnective Healing, which I was told to try last. What I didn’t know until a couple months later was that she facilitated a distance healing on my behalf after we got off the phone. I thought the other treatments I tried first were the reason for my rapid improvement, though I hadn’t healed significantly with some of them before. While I'm sure the other balancing modalities were helpful, I now know that it was the distance Reconnective Healing that escalated the positive changes. How do I know that for sure? Because of what I experienced.
The Registers
For many nights I slept no more than a couple hours because I was undergoing such strong registers, as I now know these indicators of healing are called. When I closed my eyes, my left eye moved around in sometimes circular, sometimes seemingly impossible contrasting movements, jerking this way and that for hours at a time. My right eye moved rapidly as well, though not as often or as jarring. My body jerked in spasms involving my hands and feet in particular; I shivered as if terribly chilled, and my head did a very odd up and down short-nodding-type movement. At times I must have looked like something out of “The Exorcist!” As this was happening, I received a great deal of information about myself and my barriers to health. (Incidentally, I should clarify that each healing experience is unique. Your reaction and the manifestation of particular “registers” or indicators of healing could, and likely will, look different than mine. I have yet to meet anyone who has had a similar experience. Trust is the key. Allowing, rather than fearing, will help with your personal healing. There truly is nothing to be afraid of here.)
What Changed
I quickly recovered from the many awful physical symptoms. Instead of being bed-ridden and feeling like I’d been run over by a truck all the time, I was enjoying freedom from pain. My brain no longer felt inflamed, which had been the most awful symptom. The headaches stopped and I didn’t need the powerful medications I’d been using.
Over a three night period, I felt painful movement up my neck and what seemed to be my thyroid healing (while not completely recovered, there has been improvement with far fewer of the hypothyroid symptoms I had for so many years). In addition, I healed from old emotional challenges, which I thought I’d handled fairly well. And though it took some weeks, I finally released the painful, tight band of fear I held in my gut, and my bowel health improved. I suddenly related very differently to food, enjoying it immensely, yet in moderation. It was as if I'd never really tasted food before!Quite remarkably, I had an uncanny sudden interest in the homeless I used to blindly pass by as I walked to work each day in San Francisco, and began reaching out to total strangers and others in need. The more I healed, the deeper my relationships became, allowing me to experience love as never before. Most astounding is the love I began to feel for myself and the beauty I saw in my own eyes and face. I had never really felt love for myself, if you can imagine that. I could give love in my own limited way, but couldn’t receive it, even in my own behalf.
What’s With That Book?
Other strange things happened once The Reconnection arrived in the mail, though at first I was oddly afraid to even look at the book. I felt the healing energy long before going to a training seminar and it showed up in ways that truly surprised me, giving me a profound experience of connection to the Universe. It uncovered the truth of who I am and revealed information about who I was in the past (I know, everyone says they were some great Being in the past, but what if it’s the truth?). Much to my surprise, I learned that I have spirit guides who continually support me and I began hearing messages from Jesus and others! The most incredible thing is that if I tune into my hands and raise them up, the Reconnective Healing frequencies are immediately felt. I am super-charged with this energy and grateful to have a way to help!
The Healing Never Stops
I continue to heal as time goes on—more information, more light, knowing that I’m on my path. And yes, the registers continue as well, though not as intensely. I do still experience pain sometimes and find the cold months harder to weather, but I believe pain can be used to reveal and heal something. Now I use pain as an indicator, and I pay attention to it much more quickly. Pain An unnatural state keeping something from view A retreat into dying and unbearable separation. Open heart and eyes illuminate a soul ready to heal. While relief from some of the physical symptoms is a welcome blessing, it is my connection to God that has brought the greatest healing.
In Summary
For the most part, I did enjoy my career in Human Resources (see My Bio) but I've changed tracks and am now a Certified Reconnective Healer and multi-channel, helping others experience some of the miracles I continue to enjoy. It's so much fun to do this work and to witness the changes in my clients.I am truly grateful.
