A church full of skeptics and seekers, a demonstration no one could explain, and one question that lingered: how simple is healing, really?
Some events announce themselves quietly. This one began with a nervous host, a birthday in the audience, and flowers that arrived unplanned in exactly the right colors. By the time it ended, a woman who had not raised her arm above her shoulder in two years was touching her fingertips overhead, and a room full of strangers was sitting with the same question. The healing frequencies at the heart of this gathering — the kickoff to a month of events in the Netherlands with Dr. Eric Pearl and Jillian Fleer — do not ask for belief, preparation, or technique. They ask only that you notice. What follows is what the room noticed.
Nineteen Years and One Full Circle
The afternoon opened with host Nadia van Raam’s own story. Nineteen years earlier she had been sent to an airport to collect a healer she had never met, expecting white robes and an air of solemnity. Instead she found a man in a cowboy hat, boots, a long leather jacket, and five suitcases. Her skepticism dissolved somewhere between his humor and his message, and for the next fifteen years Reconnective Healing became her life — assisting, then teaching, then traveling the world. When the touring stopped just before COVID, everything seemed to fall apart. Hosting Eric and Jillian’s return now felt, in her words, like having left the nest, flown on her own, and come back together to share the memories. Discomfort, she reminded the room, eventually builds spiritual muscles.
From Chiropractor to Something Else
Eric Pearl’s origin story remains one of the strangest in modern energy healing. Twelve years into a successful Los Angeles chiropractic practice, a Venice Beach card reader offered him a $333 session to reconnect the meridian lines of his body to the stars, the planets, and the space in between. He declined — but as he left, she scribbled down a reference: chapter 317 of The Book of Knowledge: The Keys of Enoch. He tracked the book down at a famous Los Angeles metaphysical bookstore, understood almost none of its few pages, and yet found himself going back again and again to re-read them. Finally he decided it would be cheaper to simply pay the woman and let her do the work — so he did. The Monday after the second session, seven different patients insisted someone had entered the treatment room while their eyes were closed. No one had. Within weeks his patients were reporting healings — a man leaving his wheelchair behind, children with cerebral palsy and epilepsy no longer needing medication — and over six weeks more than fifty patients, unknown to one another, lost consciousness on his table and spoke the same six phrases. Those recorded phrases eventually became the book Solomon Speaks on Reconnecting Your Life.
The Demonstration No One Could Explain
The afternoon offered two demonstrations. Jos, a hospital laboratory worker, retold how his frozen shoulder — treated medically with cortisone, unresolved — released on stage in front of 300 people eleven years ago. It has stayed released ever since. Then came Tineke, who for two years could not lift her arm past shoulder height. Eric paired her with Petra, a self-described drag-along who admitted she didn’t believe in any of it. Petra felt sensations in her hands within seconds — and worked on the wrong hand entirely. Minutes later Tineke raised both arms and touched her fingers overhead for the first time in two years. The healing knew where to go, Eric told the room. You cannot do it wrong, because your mind was never the one doing it.
What People Report When They Meet the Healing Frequencies
Across the afternoon’s stories, the same signatures kept appearing. People interacting with the Reconnective Healing spectrum commonly describe:
Temperature shifts — sudden cold or warmth moving through the hands and body, like the cold wind Jos felt on stage
Involuntary movement — fingers, arms, and legs moving on their own, the way Petra’s fingers stirred the moment the play began
Unfamiliar colors — patients in Eric’s practice, including professional film animators, reported colors they could neither name nor reproduce
Healing that finds its own target — the work landing where it is needed rather than where anyone aims it
Results that hold — described not as temporary relief but as change that, in Eric’s words, doesn’t weaken with time
The Case Against Technique
Much of Eric’s talk was a comic demolition of his own early rituals. After the healings began, professional healers advised him to shake negative energy into bowls of salt water and call in Mother-Father God, four archangels, Jesus, Sananda, and St. Germain — until his treatment room was so crowded with visualized entities he could barely move. The healings, he noticed, were not improving. When he gave the bowls away and let it all go, nothing was lost. His conclusion has become the spine of this work: healing is reception, not transmission. You can’t send healing, he said, because you and I are one — one ocean, eight billion waves. Where most energy healing techniques add steps, this one removes them. The difference, he insists, is between knowledge, which fears doing it wrong, and knowingness, which simply allows.
Wholeness and the Thinning of the Story
Jillian Fleer gave the afternoon its quietest, most demanding idea. We arrive whole, she suggested — watch any child — and then life focalizes us: a name, a story, a narrowing aperture. Healing, in her framing, is not self-improvement but remembering; wholeness is what remains when we stop negotiating with who we are. Her question to the room: if you were truly convinced that healing was this simple, what would change in your life? Letting the story thin, she said, opens the aperture on its own. Wholeness is not an achievement waiting at the end of enough work and enough understanding. It is what you already are — and the frequencies simply give you a place to notice it.
Nadia’s Story: From Goodbye to Alive
The afternoon’s most arresting testimony came from Nadia van Raam herself. At 25, an aortic dissection nearly killed her; her mother was told to say goodbye outside the operating theater. Forty days in a coma, a pacemaker, a replaced valve, and two years of nerve pain and heavy medication followed. Six months after meeting Eric — and one training in Hamburg later — she quietly let go of the pain medication, telling no one, and the pain never returned. Her doctors, she says, told her: whatever you are doing, continue. Years later, facing an eleven-hour open-heart surgery, she walked in carrying what she calls her secret weapon — these frequencies — and woke up smiling.
How to Experience This Work Yourself
You do not need to wait for a Dutch church and a stage. The Portal — the online Essentials course created by Eric and Jillian — is the most direct route into the work, with 8+ hours of self-paced video. If you want the broader landscape first, the Learn Reconnective Healing page maps out distance sessions, online courses, and in-person trainings. Eric also hosts a free weekly Zoom call exploring the Solomon Speaks material. As the team offered in closing: there is nothing to fix, and nothing about you that is not already completely whole. The healing frequencies are not arriving from somewhere else. They are, as Eric put it, already you.
FAQs
What is Reconnective Healing?
Reconnective Healing is a non-touch approach Dr. Eric Pearl began practicing in 1993. Rather than a technique applied to you, it is an interaction with a spectrum of energy, light, and information that the recipient simply receives. It asks for no belief, no preparation, and no special background to experience.
Do I need to believe in it for it to work?
No. One of the afternoon’s clearest demonstrations involved Petra, a self-described skeptic who didn’t believe in any of it — yet felt sensations in her hands within seconds and helped facilitate a visible change in someone who had not raised her arm in two years. As Eric puts it, you cannot do it wrong, because your conscious mind was never the one doing it.
What might I feel during a session?
Experiences vary, but people commonly report temperature shifts, involuntary movement in the hands or limbs, unfamiliar colors, and a deep sense of stillness. Some notice dramatic changes, others something subtle, and a few notice little in the moment — all of which are considered normal.
Is this a substitute for medical care?
No. This work is a complementary practice, not a replacement for licensed medical treatment. It does not diagnose, treat, or promise specific outcomes, and you are encouraged to continue working with your healthcare providers.
How can I start learning or experiencing it?
Most people begin with a distance session or with The Portal, the online Essentials course created by Eric and Jillian. To compare every option — distance sessions, online courses, and in-person trainings — visit the Learn Reconnective Healing page.
