Energy Healing Certification: What to Look For

What a certificate really tells you, and how Reconnective Healing® certification gives you one clear, official path.

If you are searching for energy healing certification, you have probably noticed that the same word can mean quite different things. In one program a certificate confirms that you attended. In another it marks the end of a defined path, with standards of practice and ongoing support behind it. Reconnective Healing® certification is built to be clear at every step, and choosing becomes much simpler once you see how it works.

Here is what to look for in any program, and how Reconnective Healing®, a non-touch energy healing approach that is simple and powerful at the same time, answers each question.

What Energy Healing Certification Means

Energy healing certification is a broad phrase, and it usually gathers up a few distinct things. A Certificate of Attendance confirms that you were present for a training, and many programs require full attendance to issue one. A certification generally means a program has evaluated your learning and recognizes you to share what you learned within its guidelines.

Credentialing goes a step further. An organization lists you as a practitioner and may refer people to you, and in return you agree to its standards. Different schools use these words in their own way, so the most useful question is a simple one: what does this certificate say about me, and who stands behind it? In Reconnective Healing®, each of these has a clear place on one official path, with ReconnectiveHealing.com standing behind it.

What to Look For in a Program

Whichever energy healing certification you are considering, a few questions bring clarity quickly:

• Who issues the certificate. A single, clearly named source, connected to the people the work comes from, makes a certificate easy to trust.
• Who teaches. Ask whether the founder teaches directly, and how other instructors are trained and authorized.
• What happens in person. Some learning deepens most in a room together, so find out which parts of the training are live.
• What the certificate allows. Read what the program says you may do afterward, and under which standards and guidelines.
• What continues afterward. Support, a practitioner listing and referrals show that the relationship carries on once the training ends.
• How to verify. A trustworthy program is glad to confirm whether a certificate is genuine.

Reconnective Healing® certification answers each of these clearly. Certification is issued only through ReconnectiveHealing.com, and official training is taught or directly authorized by Dr. Eric Pearl. In-person training sits at the heart of the path, with full attendance required. Professional practitioners agree to our standards and practitioner guidelines, and credentialing lists you as a certified facilitator with eligibility for referrals from the organization. Our team is always glad to confirm whether a certificate is genuine. That clarity is what we want for anyone choosing an energy healing certification.

Where Reconnective Healing® Comes From

Dr. Eric Pearl discovered Reconnective Healing® at his chiropractic office in 1993. One day he realized that extraordinary healings were taking place as he simply moved his hands around his patients. These happenings quickly escalated into sudden voice channelings coming from over fifty of his patients during the following three months. Despite being a self-professed non-believer at the time, Dr. Eric Pearl was instantly aware that something bigger than himself was taking place, and he allowed it to become his life's focus.

He told his story in the internationally bestselling book The Reconnection: Heal Others, Heal Yourself, published by Hay House and now in 40 languages. He followed it with Solomon Speaks on Reconnecting Your Life (Hay House), a collection of channeled messages he received over approximately 20 years through his patient Frederick Ponzlov. The information in those messages inspired Dr. Eric Pearl to name this energy Reconnective Healing.

Can Anyone Learn Energy Healing?

Using energy to heal has very possibly been with us since our first steps as human beings, and that tells us something encouraging. We are all born with the ability to interact with frequencies and vibrations, because we are made of energy ourselves.

Dr. Eric Pearl saw this from the very beginning. Healings were happening for people regardless of their backgrounds or beliefs, and he soon realized he could teach anyone to become a healer. Everyone is welcome to begin, whatever their background. As Dr. Eric Pearl puts it, "You are worthy by the simple fact that you were born."

People who train with us range from complete newcomers to practitioners with decades of clinical experience. They include medical doctors, nurses, psychotherapists, engineers, teachers, coaches, parents and students.

What You Learn in Reconnective Healing® Training

Reconnective Healing® is an approach rather than a technique, so the training asks you to master something wonderfully simple. In Reconnective Healing®, energy is received rather than sent. Reconnective Healing® practitioners train to learn to receive.

The practitioner acts as a catalyst, providing the spark for the connection between the person receiving the session and the Reconnective Healing Frequencies™. The practitioner tunes in to the Frequencies while placing their attention on the person, and the intelligence of Reconnective Healing® brings what is truly needed. Jillian Fleer describes it this way: "When we say we receive energy, think of Bluetooth technology and how two apparently separate things pair up by becoming aware they are the same frequency."

Online Courses and In-Person Training

Many people begin by looking for energy healing certification online, and online learning has a real and valuable place. In The Portal: Reconnective Healing® Online Essentials Course, taught by Dr. Eric Pearl and Jillian Fleer, you learn to feel, find and follow the Reconnective Healing Frequencies™ at your own pace and share them with friends and family. Exercises with playful names like Wax On, Wax Off help you feel them in your own hands. You can see what is inside all eight hours before you decide.

In-person training takes you into the full depth of the work. In a shared field of awareness, you deepen your relationship with the Frequencies and learn to facilitate both in-person and distance healing. This is why The Portal is the foundation of our path, with immense benefits of its own, while professional certification is earned through in-person training.

Our current in-person programs are intentionally intimate, with real time with Dr. Eric Pearl and Jillian Fleer. Full attendance on every day of a training is required for your Certificate of Attendance. When you compare healing training programs, notice how much of each energy healing certification rests on live training. Reconnective Healing® certification is earned in person, because that is where the full depth of the work is learned.

How Reconnective Healing® Certification Works

Reconnective Healing® has one official source. All official training and certification information originates from ReconnectiveHealing.com, and certification is issued only through ReconnectiveHealing.com. Dr. Eric Pearl and our team describe the full picture in Reconnective Healing® Training: The Official Path.

The path begins online with The Portal. From there, the in-person Reconnective Healing® Training Program is the heart of the training. After full attendance, you receive a Certificate of Attendance issued through ReconnectiveHealing.com.

For the Professional Path, The Reconnection® Training Program (RCPP) is a must to attain professional certification. It has two prerequisites: having attended a Reconnective Healing® training and having received your own Reconnection®. Completing both trainings and agreeing to our standards and practitioner guidelines is the recognized Professional Practitioner track. Once both trainings are complete, you become eligible to be credentialed by an authorized representative. Credentialing lists you as a certified facilitator and makes you eligible for referrals from the organization.

Upcoming in-person programs, including Bloemendaal and Hamburg, are listed on the Learn Reconnective Healing® page. If you are ever unsure whether a program or certificate is official, our team is always happy to help you check.

What Research and Experience Show

Dr. Glen Rein, Director of the Quantum Biology Research Lab in Ridgway, Colorado, studied Reconnective Healing® through DNA experiments. He and his team partially unwound human DNA with hot water. Some samples were exposed to Reconnective Healing®, and others were left untouched as controls, with the results observed in real time.

Dr. Rein had already run similar tests with Reiki and Qi Gong practitioners, and their healing intervention had slowed down the rewinding of the DNA, which then rewound naturally after a while. He expected the same result with Reconnective Healing®. Instead, the DNA exposed to Reconnective Healing® rewound faster than the samples exposed to Reiki and Qi Gong, and faster than the control samples. Extra hydrogen bonds formed, helping hold the DNA together. Dr. Rein also noticed that while the Reiki and Qi Gong practitioners followed steps and directed the energy with an intention to heal, the Reconnective Healing® practitioners entered a state of awareness and nonjudgmental observation.

One more result surprised him. A practitioner who moved about six feet away from the sample, and walked around the area during the session, produced the most consistent results. Dr. Rein concluded that distance strengthens the effects of an interaction with Reconnective Healing®. In his words, "The ability of Reconnective Healing practitioners to increase rewinding of DNA means more hydrogen bonds are formed and more quantum fields are generated. It is therefore probable that Reconnective Healing energies induce quantum processes in DNA."

People who interact with the Reconnective Healing frequencies report a wide range of benefits. Among the most often reported are healings that are physical (broken bones, hereditary conditions, cancer, blindness, deafness, cardiovascular disease, skin problems), mental (psychosis, autism), emotional (anger, unhappiness, depression, anxiety) and spiritual (spiritual detachment, lack of life's purpose). Each person's experience is their own. Reconnective Healing® brings what the person needs, which is not always what they want.

Research interest continues. An Integrative Review of Scientific Evidence for Reconnective Healing, published in 2017 in the Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine, gathered the studies up to that point.

Learning for Yourself or Practicing Professionally

After the in-person training, there are two ways forward. The Personal Path is for sharing Reconnective Healing® privately with family and friends. The Professional Path is for those who feel called to offer sessions as a practitioner. Every session is one-on-one, whether you are sharing it with someone you love or with a client.

Both are complete paths. If you are weighing energy healing certification for a professional practice, Reconnective Healing® certification on the Professional Path gives you a defined track and an organization behind your credential. Pursuing your professional credential is a choice, and the path stays entirely yours. A practitioner's own account of that path is in How to Become a Reconnective Healing Practitioner.

Reiki and Other Energy Healing Certifications

Energy healing is a wide and generous family. Reiki in its many forms, Qi Gong, Jin Shin Jyutsu, Johrei and Healing Touch are some of its well-known members, and each carries its own lineage and its own way of teaching. Reiki in particular has opened the door to the subtle side of healing for a great many people, and many devoted teachers have shared it with care for many years. People often ask about the difference between Reiki and energy healing, and the simplest answer is that Reiki is one beautiful part of the larger whole.

Every one of these traditions points to the same encouraging truth: each of us is equipped to interact with energy. Each one deserves to be understood on its own terms, and the questions earlier in this article work just as well for a Reiki program as for any other energy healing certification you may be exploring. If you already hold a Reiki certification or have trained in another approach, you are warmly welcome in Reconnective Healing®. You begin in the same place as everyone else, with The Portal, and you bring everything you have already experienced along with you as you move toward your Reconnective Healing® certification.

Where Reconnective Healing® Certification Begins

Your Reconnective Healing® certification begins with The Portal. Hour 1 is offered as a complimentary sample hour, so you can feel the Frequencies for yourself before choosing anything. Whatever you notice there belongs to you.

From there, the in-person Reconnective Healing® Training Program brings your Certificate of Attendance, and for the Professional Path, The Reconnection® Training Program (RCPP) completes the track toward your credential. You can see every upcoming in-person program on the Learn Reconnective Healing® page.

Perhaps you are drawn to Reconnective Healing®, or something about it feels oddly familiar. If so, something in you may already recognize it. Any energy healing certification recognizes a capacity that was already yours. Reconnective Healing® certification helps you notice it more clearly and share it with others.
