TESTIMONIALS IN FULL

• Stefan M. (Distance session for sister): I have been visiting my sister about everyday and today has been the best yet. The nurse said she is doing fine and her chest/breathing problem is pretty much gone; her blood pressure is pretty stable and they have cut back almost completely the drugs to get the blood pressure up. This is REALLY good news! Her eyes look clear and skin color looks normal. She is able to talk (a little bit!) and seems almost like her 'old' self again. I'm quite amazed and VERY grateful!!!

This is a complete turnaround from being in a coma, pneumonia, and near kidney failure. I would recommend Reconnective Healing to anyone willing to be open to alternative healing.

• Ronda Allen, Certified Massage Therapist: “You took the thorn out of my paw.”

• Angie Rockett, Professional Weaver: "Maria Benning changed my life! I told her about some health problems I was having that forced me to take a medical leave of absence from my job…a job I wasn’t happy in.

For many years I pushed for my dream job in the arts and yet I always seemed to hit a wall. Maria facilitated a long distance healing for me because of my health issues, but two days later I received a phone call that changed my life. I now have my dream job and am thankful every day for Maria's help."

• Sharon S, Software Engineer: “I did not have any expectations going into the reconnective healing session. I guess I was hoping for more of a sense of peace and purpose in my life. The session was very interesting. I could feel energy currents at different times coursing through parts of my body. It was calming. For a few days afterwards, I continued to feel palpable energy currents, like mild electricity, in my hands.

I have not had any miraculous kind of breakthroughs in my life since the session, as others have. However, I do have a sense of being more in tune with a higher consciousness, and am more willing to ask for guidance from a higher power. I've allowed my life to slow down drastically, to try and uncover areas of hurt that need to be addressed. I'm not as afraid of this as I used to be.

There are still times when I can feel the energy currents. For me, this usually occurs during times of prayer.

Maria has also done long distance healings for me. There have been times when she's done sessions on my behalf without my knowing, and has told me later. When she's doing these sessions, sometimes thoughts of her pop into my head, although I'm not consciously aware she's working on me. I feel a connection to her through this energy system. It's rather hard to explain, but it's there.

I don't have a magic answer to all my problems since The Reconnection, but I think I'm more open to the possibilities of healing the parts that need to be healed. The Reconnection is part of my journey towards that healing."

• Benjamin J: "When I saw and read an article about Dr. Eric Pearl in East West Bookstore’s catalog, it sounded too good to be true. Heal yourself and heal others? I had to check this out. I've been suffering the last 3 years from the effects of heavy metal poison which gave me tremendous joint/back pains and chronic fatigue. As I sat there in the front row during the demonstration, I felt an energy course through my body. Dr. Pearl was demonstrating a healing on someone else but somehow, the energy made its way to me from just sitting in the audience. The next morning, I no longer needed to wear my custom orthopedic shoe inserts that I've been wearing the past year, nor did I need to wear my biking shorts/girdle to support my lower back. I feel better and I am able to walk in balance for the first time in years.

I figured that if I can get a healing from being in the audience, I should be able to get more of a healing from a personal session. I went to see Maria for a Reconnective Healing session and the Reconnection. The sessions in and of themselves were quite an experience—I felt tingles in my hands and feet; I felt something caress my face, forehead and body like static electricity; I saw beautiful colors in 3-D fashion like watching a kaleidoscope, but with my eyes closed. And I felt a sense of calm and peacefulness come over me that I wasn't familiar with.

What I noticed after my sessions with Maria is that my mind is more clear and open. My chronic fatigue and brain fog, which had been slowly getting better, is now almost gone. I now experience mental clarity and my short term memory has improved greatly. As a result, I have more energy throughout the day. I also noticed I sleep better thru the night and I've been dreaming more often and more vividly. Maybe this comes from sleeping better but my mind is definitely clearer. When I do my daily 15 minute meditations, I now see the colors that came thru during my session with Maria. They actually look like the aura colors around Maria's photo on her website. And when I read articles on spirituality that I connect with, I often feel tingling sensations in my hands."

• Susan Coggins, Aura Imaging: "On Valentine’s Day 2007 I had the pleasure of meeting Maria at our Aura Imaging offices in Redwood City, CA.

I have a very painful condition, fibromyalgia, which I’ve had for many years. I have constant stiff, aching muscles, neck aches, shoulder aches, headaches, chronic fatigue, sleeplessness and all over low energy.

Maria performed her Reconnective Healing by moving her hands through my aura for about 20 to 30 minutes. I sat in front of our WinAura Aura Imaging machine so we could see how our auras looked in real time on camera during our session.

My aura is usually a deep dark blue, but immediately when Maria put her hands in my aura I could see the color changes, especially around her hands. They were surrounded by light white, light green and violet energy. My aura lightened quite a bit during the session. Maria asked me to close my eyes but I didn’t want to! I was mesmerized seeing all the changes in my aura!

In addition, I felt a warm sensation inside my body which is unusual since I always feel cold. After the session, I started to feel energetic on my walk back home and I noticed a sharp pain in my neck gradually disappearing. I’d had this same neck pain for the past two days. Over the next several days the neck pain disappeared completely and I felt quite a bit more energetic. I started walking twice as far on my daily strolls—two miles instead of one.

Also, another benefit I received is that I finally got responses to an ad I posted on Craigslist which I had been reposting over several months with no luck. Within one day of my session with Maria, I sold the items from my ad. It was like she opened some kind of door!

I feel like Maria gave me a blast of positive energy which I am still feeling almost two weeks later."

• April W: "Thank you for your work with me. I talked to you on a Wednesday. The following Friday I was due to come up with over $6,000 for my mortgage. The sale date for foreclosure was set for the following Monday, March 26th. I actually got all the money by Saturday, March 24, around 11:00 a.m. and forwarded it to the mortgage company.

The whole time I was working to get the money, I was aware of Jesus standing by my side to my right, comforting me, saying 'Your house is safe.' I attribute that particular presence to your work, as well as my constant prayer and support from friends and family helping me—even down to the fact that a friend had $3,000 in her house in $20 bills the day I needed it.

I am in another batch of woods these next two weeks and again, I don't know how I am going to get what I need, but I still have Jesus at my right side. I am working on becoming less fearful."

• Betty Austin, Artist: "After receiving The Reconnection from Maria, I stopped smoking—a 46 year long habit! Also, within a month of that time, a large warehouse of anger was downloaded into the dump without harm and a new space for evolution appeared. This is an ongoing spiritual journey that has just begun. I recommend it to everyone."
