12 BellaSpark September/October 2013 www.BellaSparkMagazine.com Twelve years into a successful medical practice in Los Angeles, “Chiropractor to the Stars” Eric Pearl suddenly found himself center stage, cast in the unfamiliar role of Miracle Healer. The bizarre series of circumstances that led to the discovery of powerful Universal healing energies was chronicled in his 2001 bestseller The Reconnection: Heal Others, Heal Yourself. Now, in a much-anticipated follow-up work, Solomon Speaks: On Reconnecting Your Life, Pearl shares new channeled insights (from an extra-dimensional intelligence called Solomon) that were received during sessions with patient and co-author Frederick Ponzlov. P earl, whose books have been translated into 36 languages, and whose work has been endorsed by metaphysical rock stars like Deepak Chopra and Wayne Dyer, has made it his life’s mission to share what he’s learned. He’s appeared on numerous television shows, including a 2013 appearance on Dr. Oz, has spoken at the United Nations and presented to a sold-out house at Madison Square Garden. He spends most of his time now living out of a suitcase, he says, travelling the globe and teaching The Reconnection work. To date, 75,000 people worldwide have taken the training. The story behind Dr. Pearl’s rise to internationally-recognized healer status, however, reads a little like the logline for a 1960s sitcom. While picnicking on a southern California beach, unsuspecting chiropractor Eric Pearl encounters a gypsy card reader named Bubbelah who talks him into paying $333 to reconnect his body’s meridian lines to the grid lines on the planet (which connect to the stars and other planets). Numerous strange occurrences ensue that change his life forever. Just how crazy his backstory sounds isn’t lost on Pearl. But every bit of it is true. After two sessions with a card reader, his life really did change… quickly and dramatically. It was sometime in August of 1993. He remembers it was on a Thursday, but confesses that he’s not sure which Thursday. “It irritates the !#* out of me that I can’t recall the exact date. It doesn’t help,” he laughs, “that there were five Thursdays in that particular August!” LINDA M. POTTER: I know you’ve shared this story hundreds of times, but could you recount for us what transpired after your sessions with the card reader? ERIC PEARL: I was awakened in the middle of the night by very bright lights. It wasn’t anything seemingly spiritual — it was just the lamp next to my bed. I had that lamp for a good ten years and it hadn’t selected any other propitious occasion to turn itself on. But what was even odder was that I had a very strong feeling that someone was in my house, and I was being watched. I got up, found a knife and a can of pepper spray and, with my Doberman Pinscher, I hunted through the house. Finding no one after about 15–20 minutes, I decided it was just my imagination and went back to sleep. On the [following] Monday, I went into my office and seven of my patients, independently of one another, [and knowing nothing about what had happened at my house a few days earlier] insisted that they were feeling strange “people” in the room with us as we worked. Other patients said they could feel where my hands were even when my hands were inches, feet, or yards away from them. When I held my hands near them, their muscles would go into involuntary movement; the muscles in their forehead or chin would ripple the way water ripples when you drop a pebble into it. Their fingers would move, their arms and legs would jerk. When they opened their eyes, they reported seeing colors they’d never seen before, smelling fragrances of flowers they’d never smelled before. Then they started reporting healings, REAL healings. Some of them were getting up out of wheel chairs. Some reported that their hearing returned. Some patients were coming in days later with laboratory results showing their cancerous tumors had vanished. Children with cerebral palsy or epilepsy were able to walk around and play and speak normally, not have seizures, not need their medications. Their doctors would call and ask me what I’d done. And I’d say, I didn’t do anything. And I’d add, Don’t tell anyone about all this! — which worked about as well as Nancy Reagan telling people to just say no to drugs. What was happening was incredible. I sometimes joke that I went home on Thursday thinking I was a doctor. I came back in on Monday and I was something else. (He laughs.) My parents always told me I was something else, but this was probably not what they had in mind. LMP: Have you ever asked yourself “Why me?” Why was I chosen to receive this healing gift? EP: I sure have. Who would pick me for this!? I wouldn’t. I know my faults and weaknesses. I like to party — whatever you drink, I’ll out- drink you. I have a sense of humor. I tell off-color jokes. I’m not the most patient person in the world. I appreciate some of the nice, materialistic things in life. And I’m not going to give them all up. And so I used to think, Why me, why me, why me? But then it occurred to me that I do have the ability to talk about this subject (which is more than just a little bit on the fringe) and make it sound sufficiently plausible to people who wouldn’t otherwise be open to it.

Pearl, whose books have been translated into 36 languages, andwhose work has been endorsed by metaphysical rock stars likeDeepak Chopra and Wayne Dyer, has made it his life’s mission to
share what he’s learned. He’s appeared on numerous televisionshows, including a 2013 appearance on Dr. Oz, has spoken at theUnited Nations and presented to a sold-out house at Madison SquareGarden. He spends most of his time now living out of a suitcase, hesays, travelling the globe and teaching The Reconnection work. Todate, 75,000 people worldwide have taken the training.
The story behind Dr. Pearl’s rise to internationally-recognized healerstatus, however, reads a little like the logline for a 1960s sitcom.

LINDA M. POTTER: I know you’ve shared this story hundreds oftimes, but could you recount for us what transpired after yoursessions with the card reader?
ERIC PEARL: I was awakened in the middle of the night by verybright lights. It wasn’t anything seemingly spiritual — it was just thelamp next to my bed. I had that lamp for a good ten years and ithadn’t selected any other propitious occasion to turn itself on. Butwhat was even odder was that I had a very strong feeling thatsomeone was in my house, and I was being watched. I got up, found aknife and a can of pepper spray and, with my Doberman Pinscher, I
hunted through the house. Finding no one after about 15–20minutes, I decided it was just my imagination and went back to sleep.
On the [following] Monday, I went into my office and seven of mypatients, independently of one another, [and knowing nothing aboutwhat had happened at my house a few days earlier] insisted that theywere feeling strange “people” in the room with us as we worked.
Other patients said they could feel where my hands were evenwhen my hands were inches, feet, or yards away from them.

Their fingers wouldmove, their arms and legs would jerk.
When they opened their eyes, they reported seeing colors they’dnever seen before, smelling fragrances of flowers they’d neversmelled before.
Then they started reporting healings, REAL healings. Some ofthem were getting up out of wheel chairs. Some reported that theirhearing returned. Some patients were coming in days later withlaboratory results showing their cancerous tumors had vanished.
Children with cerebral palsy or epilepsy were able to walk aroundand play and speak normally, not have seizures, not need theirmedications. Their doctors would call and ask me what I’d done.

the beach wearing turbans and eating foodthat looked like bowls of dirt with chopsticks, and I could also talk to doctors andresearchers because of my position and[medical background].
But, I would also laugh and say, well, allright, you can look at me with all myshortcomings and say, If this guy can do it, Ican certainly do it. And the truth is, people CANlook at me and say, with all the things that pissme off about Eric Pearl, if he can do it,well, really, I guess I can do it too!
LMP: In your new book, SolomonSpeaks, Solomon shares powerfulinformation about who we are andwhy we’re here. If you had to distillthe message that Solomon relaysdown to a couple of main points, whatwould they be?
EP: One of his main points is that we arehere to learn compassion, to recognize thatwe are all one. Since we are each aholograph — an expression of God, of Love,of the Intelligence of the Universe here onthe planet — when we reconnect withourselves, we recognize that. Maybe 2013 isthe year to stop looking so much at whatmakes us special, unique and individual andfind that egoless place inside ourselves thatallows us to ask the question, What makes usall the same?
Can we recognize that when one childcries in one part of the world, 100 childrenweep in another? That when a little childlaughs, a thousand children exalt withlaughter? We are that connection. It’s like thesun. When we look at the rays of the sun, wesee them as individual rays, yet each raycontains the hologram of the entire sunitself. Each ray has its unique aspects, andyet it’s of the same source, the same light.We each contain, I believe, a hologram ofGod, and when we can allow ourselves torecognize that, no, we are not God itself, butthat we are each a whole life expression ofGod, we can learn to recognize and honorthat in others; we can start to see ourselvesin them. When we reconnect, what we’rereconnecting with is our wholeness.
LMP: Is The Reconnection similar to otherforms of energy work, like Reiki, forexample?
EP: No, it’s very, very different. All theseenergy healings, old and new are techniquesof energy. They each allow us to accessdifferent aspects of energy. One techniquehas us focus on one part of the energy, thenext technique on another part. It’s like witha telescope; you can focus in on the Reikistars, the Jin Shin stars, the Qigong stars, butat some point our soul yearns to see thewhole Universe, the larger picture.
Our little bubble in this vast, endless
universe is comprised of height, width,depth, and size and the interior has theenergy. When we use techniques we focuson portions of energy that has always beenhere. But, time is moving faster in alldirections at once. Time is expanding; ourbubble is expanding. As it expands it beginsto encompass more of what’s always beenoutside of the bubble of time, but which isnew here to us.
Healing techniques are like trainingwheels on a bicycle. If you have a youngchild, you give him training wheels so he canbegin to [safely] discover balance. Once theymaster the bicycle with training wheels andaccess their balance, do you give them athird, fourth or fifth set of training wheels?Of course not. You remove them. Otherwisethey will never master the bicycle itself. It’sthe same thing with healing. We have notbeen placed here on the planet to masterenergy healing techniques. We’ve beenplaced here to master healing.
Just as the gift of the training wheels isonly truly received once we remove them,the gift of the energy healing techniques isonly truly received once we transcend thetechnique itself. Reconnective healing is notanother energy healing technique; it is not atechnique at all. It’s the key to transcendingthe technique.
Once we release the training wheels oftechnique, it takes us beyond the entire seaof energy and expands into a spectrum oflight and information that hasn’t been seenhere before.
LMP: Solomon’s message is spoken directlyto you, Eric Pearl. But how does it apply tothe rest of us, particularly people who don’tbelieve they have your healing gift?
EP: The message was presented directlyto me in a “package” so I would receive it.But it wasn’t spoken to me, Eric Pearl thehuman being; it was spoken to me Eric Pearl(who happened to be at that moment) aportal of delivery.
We are all struggling and working so hardto become worthy enough, good enough,perfect enough to be healers. And I reallybelieve that one of the things we’re here todiscover is that we can never do anything tobecome worthy enough, good enough,perfect enough to be healers because wealready are that by virtue of having beenborn. We can’t become the one thing wealready are because we are already it!
We are each being offered theopportunity to carry this new level ofconsciousness onto the planet. Solomon’smessage speaks to each and every one of usindividually, saying this is your time to bringthis into mass consciousness.
LMP: We all love hearing about miraculoushealings. But why is it that one personexperiences a healing while another does
not — even though both peopleare working with the samepractitioner, using the sameinformation?
EP: Some of us may need ourhealth challenges for our own lifelessons. The time may or may notbe appropriate for someone to
have the particular healing their limited,conscious, human mind desires. There arealways lessons to be learned, and some of usare ready to learn certain lessons and someof us are not yet.
It isn’t true, however, that healing workonly works for some, but not others. It worksfor everyone, but in different forms. Ourjudgment comes in. We may say that if weget a certain result, it’s a success; if we don’tget that result it’s not a success. That’s reallyus saying that we understand the mind ofGod, the perfection of the gift. Maybe it’s notabout whether or not the healing was asuccess, but whether we allow ourselves tosee the success in the healing.
LMP: What are your personal goals forgetting this information out and involvingmore people in The Reconnection work?
EP: If I accomplish what I believe that I’mhere to do, this consciousness will continuefar beyond my time here in a physical body.But it will only continue if enough of usunderstand it and can communicate it toothers. As we become Reconnective healingpractitioners, we recognize that our role isnot only just to do the healing, but toeducate others so they can share it as well!
Dr. Pearl will be teaching a Level I/IIReconnective Healing Seminar in Denver,September 13–15. For more information aboutDr. Pearl, The Reconnection and upcomingevents, visit www.TheReconnection.com.

When we reconnect, what we’rereconnecting with is our wholeness.
