For those of you not familiar with TED Talks here is a brief summery of them from www.ted.com:
“TED is a small nonprofit devoted to Ideas Worth Spreading. It started out (in 1984) as a conference bringing together people from three worlds: Technology, Entertainment, Design. Since then its scope has become ever broader. Along with two annual conferences — the TED Conference in Long Beach and Palm Springs each spring, and the TEDGlobal conference in Oxford UK each summer — TED includes the award-winning TEDTalks video site, the Open Translation Project and Open TV Project, the inspiring TED Fellows and TEDx programs, and the annual TED Prize”
According to www.ted.com:
“We think of pain as a symptom, but there are cases where the nervous system develops feedback loops and pain becomes a terrifying disease in itself. Starting with the story of a girl whose sprained wrist turned into a nightmare, Elliot Krane talks about the complex mystery of chronic pain, and reviews the facts we’re just learning about how it works and how to treat it.”
“At the Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital at Stanford, Elliot Krane works on the problem of treating pain in children.”
Enjoy this fascinating look into the strange workings of our nervous systems.

Mandalas from the Heart of Peace 2 © Atmara Rebecca Cloe
Sanskrit for circle, mandalas have been used since ancient times to help individuals reach enlightenment and an overall sense of completeness. Cultures around the world have used mandalas for religious purposes and they have long been beneficial as a meditation and healing tool. Of course, it only makes sense that mandalas be used as a form of art therapy as well.
Although you may not realize it, mandalas are all around you from elements as small as atoms to large masses like the sun. Mandalas can be represented in literally every circle that has a center.
When used as art therapy, the therapeutic journey of finding one’s center is in the actual creation of the piece, not in the final product as you might expect. Colors and shapes are symbolic to the artist and only the artist can truly understand them. In essence, the creator is represented in the mandala itself. Any feelings, emotions and thoughts that are experienced by the artist along this journey are brought to life in the mandala as it’s being completed.
When mandalas are used in art therapy, the patient always chooses their medium because this is the initial step in their journey. There are no right or wrong choices. It doesn’t matter if paper, canvas, poster board or cardboard is used with water colors, oils, acrylics, markers, pastels or colored pencils, they can all equally be as symbolic as the next.
While the patient is creating their mandala, they should write down the colors that they use as well as how they were feeling or what they were thinking about when they used each color. Soft and hard lines as well as various shapes and images are all symbolic as well. Mandalas never have coincidences or accidents, everything is created for a reason.
The circular center is the most important aspect of a mandala and the only part that you really need to be concerned with during the creation of the piece. When mandalas are used in various cultures and religions, the center is where deities reside. It is important that during the creation of a mandala, you radiate outward from the center, for this is where the heart and soul are construed.
It is essential that while you take your therapeutic mandala journey that you never lose site of yourself, where you have come from and where you hope to arrive. Take the time to enjoy the process and appreciate what you are creating.
There are many benefits to be received by the patient who is using a mandala as art therapy. Their mood will be enhanced to a more positive state, self-improvement levels will rise and there is a significant increase in self-awareness.
Breathing, heart rate and blood pressure become significantly slower as the patient gradually becomes more entranced in their mandala creation journey and they become one with the piece to arrive at their center. Mandalas also offer mental stimulation which is always beneficial for any person, patient or not.
As spiritual transformation and wholeness take over, healing is permitted to take place. This is why mandalas have been used as a beneficial form for therapy since ancient times.

Today you’ll be introduced to a way to heal that is just now starting to become known — Reconnective Healing. My guess is, you may not have heard about it. And even if you have, you may not know why it’s special. However this is something important. So read on and I’ll fill you in on what it is, who discovered it, and what’s so extraordinary about it.
You may have heard about “energy healing.” Reconnective Healing is similar in that it is something that is not delivered through physical means like drugs or “hands on” therapies like massage. However a big difference is scientists are able to measure the frequencies involved with Reconnective Healing Sessions, and have found that they have never been seen before on earth. The scientists are postulating that these new frequencies, which they are able to measure for the first time, are only available now because of recent shifts in the earth’s magnetic grids. This is a historical event.
How did it start? Well, there was this chiropractor out in Los Angeles, California who had a very successful practice for about 12 years. One day his patients started telling him that they could feel his hands on their body. But this was while he was not touching them. About the same time, Dr. Eric Pearl (that’s the doctor’s name) was getting blisters on his palms while he worked. One time his palms even bleed. Not too long after this started, he started asking for help from all sorts of experts trying to find out what was going on and why people were mysteriously receiving miracle healings after leaving his chiropractic office.
Here’s what the Scientists found. The scientific research found that Reconnective Healing causes a MEASURABLE effect on DNA. And not just plant and animal DNA — but also HUMAN DNA. Further the scientists were able to measure this phenomenon over and over again, not just once. They were also able to see that with this specific type of healing, the body goes into a state of super coherence, which science has never seen before. Findings were so impressive that scientists are rewriting the laws of physics and mathematics because of it. It has received so much respected attention that even the UNITED NATIONS has taken notice.
It is interesting to note that reports from all over the world have come in from people seeing angels and other dimensional beings after or during a Reconnective Healing session. Sometimes these “beings” were experienced as physical appearances just like a person materializing. At other times, many people reported smelling the fragrance that an already deceased loved one used to wear or a sensation of that person touching them. And yet others reported hearing messages spoken to them, though no one else was there. My friend, for example, “saw” parrots flying around the room.
Let’s discuss the risks involved. No matter what we do in life there always seems like there’s a downside or at least a potential risk. Taking certain prescriptions, for example, may not mix well with other healing treatments. With Reconnective Healing however, you don’t have to worry about all that and you can rest assured it is safe. Your Practitioner does not direct what happens with the energies, there is nothing that you take and what you DO receive is coming to you from God. Some people like to call this Universal Divine or Infinite Intelligence.
If you’re curious as to how to choose the right R.H. Practitioner, the answer is very simple. If the R.H. Practitioner you go to was personally trained by either Dr. Eric Pearl or The Reconnection Staff, then they will legitimately be able to do the healing session, as well as even Dr. Eric Pearl could. The scientific research clearly proved this. However, if that R.H. Practitioner tries to add in any other healing type of modality, just know that your results will not be very good. This was also scientifically tested and proven in that the efficacy goes WAY down when the Practitioner tried to add in another modality. So make sure whoever you go to STRICTLY DOES ONLY Reconnective Healing.
On occasion you may come across someone posing as a Reconnective Healing Practitioner, when in fact they are not. However, this is not something that will fool you, because you can easily go to the official site for The Reconnection, to validate any R.H. Practitioner’s credentials.
Reconnective Healing IS new. It’s different. And it’s VERY real. I hope you gleaned a lot from this article about what it is, who discovered it and some of the many aspects that make it special. And don’t forget, respected scientists and even the United Nations have taken notice of it.
SPECIAL INTERVIEW: R.H. Practitioner Cynthia Miles was personally trained by Dr. Eric Pearl and The Reconnection Staff. On her site you can watch videos, listen to interviews where Dr. Eric Pearl discusses the Science of Reconnective Healing and read her personal story where she recounts about her hands glowing in the dark following her training.
