What especially struck me was this one sentence where Eric describes how his meridians got "plugged in" into the earth grid.
I thought: "That's it! That's what I want!"
Although I felt pretty much grounded, I was longing for a deeper connection to our earth.

I read the book in the summer of 2007 and when I heard that Eric was coming to the Netherlands in the fall, I decided to go and meet him. Although it is said that you can "get the frequencies" just by reading the book, I did not experience anything special. I thought maybe if I ask universe to plug me in, something will happen ...
but no ...
So in September 2007 I met Eric, we talked, hugged, kissed ...
... nothing!

I did not give up that easily and decided to receive a distant healing session in December. Again no experience whatsoever. A second one: same thing,
I could not feel anything and nothing seemed to happen. Mind you: all the time it was the story that kept me going:
I wanted to get "plugged in"!

Then in March 2008 I suddenly saw that there would be a Reconnective Healing^® workshop in San Francisco. I decided to check it out, since it was just a few blocks from where I was living.
And while I was at it, I thought it would then also make sense to get the Reconnection^® myself.

My first session was two days before the workshop started, and does it surprise you that again: I did not notice anything special?
It was not until the next day, during my second session (The Reconnection^® is done in two sessions on two consecutive days) that I had my break-through.
During the session I suddenly could not find my left foot anymore! This was so weird, I tried what I could and I just did not know where or in what position it was! All proprioceptive perception was gone! This lasted for just a short while and is probably related to rewiring of the system. I also had some strange visual experiences that I had never had before (and mind you, I have had experience with different healing methods for over thirty years!)
After my Reconnection^® I had to completely reorient myself, I felt so different!

Then the next day the workshop started and I strongly had the feeling that I needed to take level 3 (which would be given immediately after level 1 and 2) as well. That would enable me to do the Reconnection^® for others as well. Somewhere I had decided that this was what I was going to do!

The Reconnection^® puts you back into your own power in just one go. I felt much more grounded and focused, I suddenly knew which steps to take and could move forward easily. The day after the workshops I started taking classes in public speaking as I felt this would be what I needed to do at some point. Although I just took two classes, it greatly helped me to be more "present".

I bought a massage table and started practicing on friends and people I met, so I have done quite a few Reconnections^® already in a short time frame (we are talking May 2008 here). I can already say that a common thing that most people experience after their Reconnection^® is that they feel much more grounded and focused, seem to be getting "more done". (also see Reconnection)
The good thing about the Reconnection^® is that the process deepens and unfolds by itself. It is a "once a lifetime" thing.

Update September 2009:
I have now worked for over a year with the Reconnection^® and am still impressed with the magic of it all. Like Eric describes in his book, that the sessions "already start" before he even enters the room, is something I am also seeing.
I also find in my own life that there is more "magic": attracting people or situations that seem to go beyond mere "coincidence". The process is fascinating!
Keep following my blog, as I will continue to post new developments!
