In this issue: - Off to a great start! - How will you spend your summer? - Congratulations to our new Level IV graduates! - Association and New Website Updates - Healing Connections - Pearls of Wisdom 2003 is Off and Running! The 2003 calendar is off to a running start. Right now we are writing to you from Sydney, where we have been warmly received and have sold out both of our seminars. Plus, Eric was featured in many national publications, including New Idea and Spheres magazines and a bevy of book signings, radio and other media spots. Of course another highlight of the trip has been Eric's standing-room-only presentations at the Mind Body Spirit Festival. While there, Eric regularly presented to hundreds of people each day. Boy, what a transformation it's been since just last year when the Australian Medical Association issued a formal warning to the country about Eric and the work. You may have heard that after that warning Eric was featured in nearly every newspaper and new program, where he helped the country to better understand this work. After Eric demonstrated the work and facilitated a live healing on camera, the AMA "changed its tune", and voila!, one year later we are selling out facilities everywhere. What a difference a year makes! Other highlights from this year so far include: Teaching an additional 1,500 practitioners how to do this work, bringing our worldwide practitioner total to approximately 6,000. For perspective, we now have practitioners in more than 24 countries. Eric's rolling on a busy speaking engagement tour this year. He was already featured at the main Parker Chiropractic Seminar in Las Vegas and is speaking at The Omega Institute both this August (New York) and again in December (Texas). Eric and Lee Carroll are also set to present a special program on Evolutionary Healing at the Kryon Conference over Labor Day. We are returning to Europe this year, with Norway and Paris as the destinations. Our Second Annual Summer Leadership Retreat, which will be offered in Dallas in August, will again have a great program and some powerful speakers. More on that later!

Also, if you have ideas and thoughts for the 2004 calendar, you may also send those to Doug at the same email address. How will you spend your summer? Summer is just around the corner and we are sure you all have some wonderful plans in store.

We are thrilled to welcome back Lee Carroll and Lorane Gordon to the weekend's program of events. We are also pleased to welcome Dr. Richard Gerber, lecturer and author of Vibrational Medicine. Eric will also be speaking on some new topics, including Prosperity Consciousness and Practice Management. Finally, we are again planning an exciting "Evening with The Masters" where we will be having a wonderful and entertaining Dinner Program, with some wonderful guest performances.

Congratulations to our new Level IV Graduates! As many of you already know, we have recently launched the first of our Advanced Training and Professional Development Courses, Level IV: Practitioner Mentoring. This course was presented for the first time in San Diego during the last week of February and was a wonderful success. Everyone that attended had an incredibly powerful learning and enriching experience and walked away thrilled with the experience. Here are a few things some of the attendees said about the course: "Bumped me up a HUGE notch. Fine-tuned me in an exquisite way and healed me in a special way."  Isabelle Dunkason, Sarasota, FL "This was an experience that had 'Growth' written all over it!" Shelli Worrall, Boulder, CO "I've learned, I've grown, I've received far more information and experiential experience that I could ever wish for!" Barbara Schiefelbien, Sun City, AZ From our perspective, we also very much enjoyed the chance to introduce this course and to help all those in the class "move up the curve" within this work. Thanks to all that were part of the very first offering. And now, it brings us great joy to announce our first-ever graduates of Level IV. Watch out world, here they come! San Diego Level IV Graduates Dr. Lysa Nemiroff Renaud Nicolas Patrice Fistor-Jaenig Debbie Zotti Renee Coltson Debra Wellman Plus, with the learning process ongoing, there will be a new batch of graduates before you know it!

More on that later & Healing Connections This is a new feature, where we will share a healing story that has been sent in from one of our practitioners. Linda (not her real name) is a 38-year old woman who was recently diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. Linda has been a bubbly, go-getter of a woman and is often known for her can-do attitude in life, despite whatever obstacle may come up. However, the last few years of her life have been throwing her quite a few obstacles. Linda has been struggling with severe weight issues, recovering from a dysfunctional relationship and amidst this, she had multiple career transitions. One day Linda woke up with intense tingling and numbness running through her arms and legs. This led her to a specialist's office where, after exhausting tests, they told her what she had feared was true. She was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. After that day, Linda decided to take a grand inventory of her life and decided that she would not let this beat her, and that it was time to take life back into her own hands. She decided to put together an action plan. As part of that plan, she sought the services of a Reconnective Healing!" Practitioner. She tackled her issues from many directions, including medical care and the support of her friends and family. Before beginning her medical care, Linda made a point to first have 2 sessions of Reconnective Healing!". During her sessions, the tingling/numbness from the MS subsided to merely neglible amounts and that gave her confidence to move ahead on other fronts. After just six months of great work on herself, including 1 more session of Reconnective Healing!" in combination with traditional medical care and support, she is happy to report some outstanding results. The lesions on her brain/spine, caused by the MS, are 98% gone and her weight is firmly in control and heading consistently toward her lifetime goal weight. Overall, Linda's energy and vitality have shifted upwards dramatically and she finds herself physically, mentally and emotionally better than ever in her life. And, of course, she reports that Reconnective Healing!" was a big part of the process and is happy that "one kind of 'tingle' helped to eliminate the other."

Further, we want to reinforce that your Shared Mailing Lists are to be considered as proprietary, and they are only to be shared with other practitioners and only for the purposes of staying in touch, sharing healing stories, and discussing things directly related to The Reconnection!" and Reconnective Healing!". The use of those lists for solicitation and marketing of seminars, products and services not specifically approved by The Reconnection is neither permitted nor ethical, as it breaks the agreement of those given permission to access the list.
