Many have awakened to the power of intention, the “secret” to manifesting their desires. There are books, websites, and DVDs devoted entirely to the subject. Many people around the world now understand, to some extent, that they have the power to co-create their reality. However, there is something more, called Reconnective Healing, that can enhance the co-creation process and provide gifts that extend well beyond intention.
Years ago when I was a young, physically fit vegetarian, I faced the early stages of lymphoma. Without medical treatment I healed myself of this cancer. I co-created my way to wellness by using intention — visualization and affirmations — while clearing out emotional issues that were obstacles to healing. I followed my inner guidance along the way. This process required a lot of research, time, effort and focus over the course of the two years it took for my symptoms to resolve. My path to wellness was an illuminating journey from which I learned much about the power of intention and the nature of healing.
Since healing from cancer I developed a passion for learning more about healing, which led me to explore energy healing. This journey eventually led me to learn Reconnective Healing. Reconnective Healing originated with a chiropractor by the name of Dr. Eric Pearl. In 1993 after a strange series of events, suddenly many of Dr. Pearl’s patients could feel his hands before he touched them, and they began healing from conditions such as cancer, AIDS-related illnesses and fibromyalgia. Eventually Dr. Pearl recognized that these healing frequencies could be shared and taught to others so that they, too, could facilitate healings. It is so simple to learn; after a weekend seminar, participants have all the tools they need to become master healers in their own right. Reconnective Healing has been shown to be new, very real, and different from energy healing. The philosophy and approach to facilitating healings differs dramatically from energy healing techniques. When a practitioner facilitates a healing session, he/she neither directs the healing frequencies nor has any specific intent for the client. Instead, the practitioner lets go of attachment to a particular outcome, and trusts that the wisdom of the Universe will choose the appropriate healing for that client. In other words, the practitioner focuses his/her attention on the process, and leaves the intention to the Divine.
When using conscious intention to manifest, belief is essential to co-creating the desired outcome. But interestingly, with Reconnective Healing a client does not need to believe in the work to receive a healing. The first significant physical healing that I facilitated was on a man who was dragged in by his wife for what he considered to be “woo woo” work. He didn’t believe that the sessions could affect his advanced illness, yet he received the relief that he so desperately wanted anyway. As practitioners, we see this happen regularly. It’s as though the Universe has lovingly chosen a gift for the client even though the client had not accepted the possibility of receiving it in that manner.
During a session, is it important for the client to hold an intention? Well actually, no. The Universe already knows the details of that person’s life, and knows why he or she is there. If the client has too much attachment, it can actually get in the way of the healing. Reconnective Healing seems to remove obstacles to healing so that a person can come back into balance physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually — in whatever way the Universe deems appropriate. Whether or not a person has effectively co-created his or her intent, it is as though these frequencies know how to vibrationally open a person’s arms so that they have an opportunity to embrace what they desire.
Interestingly, the Universe may choose something totally unexpected for the client. There are times when a person comes in hoping to relieve one problem only to be surprised by receiving relief from another problem that they hadn’t even intended to “work on.” Often it is something that has been chronic that they had just learned to live with over the years. Also, people sometimes receive sudden shifts in circumstances that totally surprise them — a new job, meeting the love of their life when they had given up trying, and so forth. As Dr. Pearl, author of The Reconnection: Heal Others, Heal Yourself, says, “If you are lucky …If you’re really lucky....”
Reconnective Healing frequencies can also be used to facilitate a process called The Reconnection. Through this process, these healing frequencies are used to overlay a new meridian system which extends beyond the body, connecting the person to the energy system of the earth and the greater Universe. This process is about reconnecting a person more fully to Source, and connecting him or her with their purpose and next stage of evolution. It is like upgrading our “hardware” for the purpose of downloading the latest and greatest “software.” When we are connected to purpose, it fuels the co-creation process, helping us to manifest more easily. And when we are better connected to Source, we tend to more readily receive Divine guidance, which is an essential part of the co-creation process. By becoming aware of this inner radar, we in turn can take action that can be critical to the unfolding of our desires.

Marci Shimoff, New York Times bestselling author of Happy for No Reason and Love for No Reason likes to begin her talks with showing a picture of herself at age two. In the photo, she has one hand on her head and a worried look on her face. Shimoff says she was born with “existential angst” and a “deep pain in her heart,” which she tried to fill with food.
At age nineteen Shimoff asked her dad, “What is the secret to life? He said, “Honey, just be happy.” Shimoff asked, “How do I do that?” He thought for a moment and then replied, “Honey, I don’t know.” Her dad didn’t know because he was a naturally happy person. So Shimoff set out to find the answer for herself.

Born in prosperity, harbingers of change, Baby Boomers have made a significant impact on the world. But what will be our final legacy?
It’s been nearly 40 years since the Baby Boomers arrived at Max Yasgur’s 600-acre alfalfa field to attend Woodstock, an outdoor festival that was as much a counterculture “happening” as it was a celebration of music. Area residents didn’t know what to make of these “hippies” in bohemian dress who abandoned their cars and walked for miles to stand before the concert stage. Woodstock’s political provocation, defiance of convention, and back-to-nature innocence would make it one of the defining moments of an entire generation. Now, 78 million strong and approaching retirement, we Baby Boomers are showing few signs of slowing down.

I was just notified through my Angry Birds software that I have now accumulated several achievement awards for such notable accomplishments as: smashing 500,000 blocks, busting 1,500 clouds, breaking open 2,000 cages, shredding 300 chocolate boxes, and snow- plowing down 1,500 ice blocks. Wow, I’ve been busy! All in the pursuit of the total annihilation of over 2,000 chubby little cartoon pigs that taunt me with their annoying squeals and rapid-blink eyes. Of course, I’m not really destroying anything — I’m simply assisting the snarly, vengeful birds out to take down the pork industry one little piggy at a time.

“We have the opportunity to build a Rainbow Bridge into the Golden Age. But to do this, we must do it together with all the colors of the rainbow, with all the peoples, all the beings of the world. We who are alive on Earth today are the Rainbow Warriors who face the challenge of building this bridge.” - Brooke Medicine Eagle Daughter of the Rainbow, Crow and Lakota Medicine Woman
During a time of great darkness, the Earth’s waters will be dirty, the air polluted, the land ravaged and filled with warring peoples. During this time of unrest and sadness, a great new wind from the land of the Eastern Sun will blow across the land worldwide.
People of all colors will come together in the spirit of love, compassion, peace, unity, reconciliation and understanding, with respect for the sanctity of all life, the sanctity of nature and the sanctity of the Earth herself.

Change is at the heart of the Occupy Wall Street and Tea Party Movements in the U.S. and for the Occupy Movement in many other countries.

He didn’t have an answer. She was determined to find one.

How many times a week do you take out the trash?
If you recycle your trash or compost your organic waste, you will notice a dramatic decrease in the amount of discarded trash generated by your household.
But achieving zero waste is about more than just recycling and composting.
Zero waste is an eco-conscious concept that involves viewing waste not as useless trash, but as a resource that can create jobs through collection and recycling, open up new financial opportunities for resellers, and most importantly, act as a raw material for the creation of new products.
