PART II: Reconnective Healing® Foundational Practitioner (RHFP) Agreement

Central to the philosophy and application of the RH® Experience in professional practice are the following four tenants:

  1. We are enough.  Any attempt to enhance the healing exchange by adding external sources of ‘power’ immediately diminishes our capacity to view ourselves as whole, worthy and in our mastery and therefore diminishes our ability to receive and facilitate healing. When we fully acknowledge our wholeness, this is reflected within our clients’ RH Experiences™ as well as in our own and we transcend the experience of lack and limitation.
  2. Healing resides solely within the realm of “Love.”  To include practices of protection for either our clients or ourselves introduces both “fear and separation” into the healing equation, diluting the power of love to resonate as the sole, dominant force in the interaction.
  3. We are not directing the healing, treating challenges or symptoms or attempting to bring about a specific outcome. When we withdraw our attention from that which appears to be lacking or imbalanced, we become witness to the natural wholeness that exists at the level of one’s full essence. This opens the door for unlimited possibilities and allows this healing intelligence to create the opportunities for optimal and necessary change and transformation. We, in turn, do not direct the process or attempt to influence the outcome of the experience.
  4. We are not the conduit for healing. We allow direct communication between our clients and Source or true essence by participating as a catalyst for this exchange. By stepping out of the role of “intermediary,” we free ourselves and our clients from the illusion that we are the conduit for the transmission of Energy, Light & Information® and we empower ourselves and others to recognize the limitless, direct connection with Source. As such we become witness to the unfolding.
     

A. Mixing:

The preceding core tenets are essential to fully accessing the benefits and gifts of the RH Experience. Therefore, the following related parameters must be consistently applied by all RH Foundational Practitioners:

  • During a professional RH session, under no circumstances should Foundational Practitioners add or include any of the following:
    • Intentional Use of Sensory-Stimulating ‘Enhancements’ such as
      • Auditory: Music, tones, chimes, singing bowls, water sounds, etc.
      • Visual: Use of specific colored lighting or other visual stimulation.
      • Tactile: ‘Enhanced’ massage table pads – heated or textured (e.g., acupressure pads), magnetic or crystal embedded, etc. 
      • Olfactory: Essential oils (directly applied or through diffusing), scented candles, sprays, fragrant plants, etc.
    • The use of external props: crystals, energy grids, ‘healing’ jewelry (necklaces, amulets, rings, bracelets, etc.), etc.
    • Rituals or objects for protection
    • The combined use or application of energy healing techniques, practices or rituals
    • The delivery of psychic or mediumship messages (before, during or after the session)
    • Offering of invocations, healing prayers or guided meditations (before, during, or after the session)
    • Focusing or directing energy for the purpose of “fixing, diagnosing and/or treating” and/or otherwise attempting to influence or bring about specific changes in specific problems or challenges.
       

B. Ethical Guidelines:

  • I understand that my clients are the most important part of my practice. I will treat them professionally, compassionately and with dignity.
     
  • I will provide a safe, clean, professional and appropriate environment for client sessions.
     
  • I will not ask my clients to disrobe (except for their discretionary removal of footwear).

C. No Medical Services

  • I recognize the people who come to me for Reconnective Healing® are clients, not patients, in connection with the Reconnective Healing® services I provide. If I am a licensed medical or other health care professional who has patients and/or provides medical and/or other health care services, including but not limited to psychological, psychiatric or similar or related services, to an individual in such capacity, I acknowledge and agree that such medical and/or health care services are separate and apart from any Reconnective Healing® services I provide. I accept full responsibility for anything related to those services. 
     
  • I will communicate to my clients that Reconnective Healing® is not a medical treatment or therapeutic procedure, and is not a substitute for medical care or treatment. I will also communicate to my clients that they are solely responsible for seeking their own medical advice and care. 
     
  • I will not diagnose, treat or advise about any medical symptom, condition, illness or disease, physical, mental or emotional, of any person when practicing Reconnective Healing®.

D. Communicating about Reconnective Healing® or any “Reconnection Information” (any and all information having to do with Reconnective Healing®, The Reconnection®, The Personal Reconnection™, it’s programs, trainings, etc.)

  • Unless I am an authorized member of The Reconnection, LLC (“Company”) or The Reconnection Global Advisory Alliance (GAA), or have prior written permission from The Reconnection, LLC, I will limit my presentations about Reconnective Healing® and Reconnection Information to fifteen (15) minutes or less. If I wish to provide longer presentations, I understand that I must collaborate with an approved member of The Reconnection Global Advisory Alliance (GAA). 
     
  • There may be situations in which I wish to create, either by myself or with a third party, written material, photographic, video, audiovisual or other content about Reconnective Healing® or The Reconnection® or Reconnection Information. I will submit all proposed content to The Reconnection, LLC for advance approval before: 
     
    • (a) I publish, distribute or in any way use such content through means I control (e.g., posting on my own blog, website or social media account); and/or 
       
    • (b) I submit such content to or in any way encourage, enable or allow any third party to publish, distribute or in any way use including but not limited to submitting to another website or publisher.
       
  • Only with prior written consent from The Reconnection, LLC, will I conduct any interviews with, or make any appearances on, media outlets (whether print, television, radio, online, digital or in any other media known or not yet known) to discuss Reconnective Healing® or any Reconnection Information.
     
  • When communicating about Reconnective Healing® and/or any “Reconnection Information,” I will not modify or add to the teachings I have received from The Reconnection, LLC and/or any of it’s programs, trainings, instructors and/or representatives, etc.
     
  • Unless I am specifically trained and authorized to do so in writing by The Reconnection, LLC and/or Reconnective Academy International, I will not teach anyone to facilitate Reconnective Healing® and/or The Reconnection® and/or The Personal Reconnection™ and/or any form of healing and/or healing approach that is the same, substantially similar to, or derived from the philosophy and approaches of Reconnective Healing®.
     
  • While I am a Reconnective Healing® Practitioner, I shall not say, make, state, or publish, directly or indirectly, or assist anyone else in saying, making, stating or publishing, orally or in writing, directly or indirectly, anything derogatory or disparaging about: (a) The Reconnection, LLC and/or any person and/or program in any way associated with the The Reconnection, LLC; (b) Reconnective Healing®, The Reconnection®,  The Personal Reconnection™, Reconnection Events, Reconnection Information and/or any aspect of the Reconnective Healing® Programs; and/or (c) Eric Pearl and/or Jillian Fleer.

Any arbitration must be commenced within one (1) year after the applicable claim or cause of action arises.

  3. Injunctive Relief. Any party to this Agreement shall have the right to institute judicial proceedings against the other party, or anyone acting by, through or under such party, in order to enforce the instituting party’s rights hereunder through injunction, specific performance or similar equitable relief.

  4. No Class Actions. Neither I nor the Company shall be entitled to join or consolidate claims in arbitration by or against (as applicable) the Company, the Reconnection Parties, other participants or practitioners of the Reconnective Healing Program, participants of the Reconnection Events, or recipients of the Reconnection Information, as a representative or member of a class or in a private attorney general capacity.

This Agreement can be modified only by a written document signed by the managing member of the Company; this Agreement cannot be modified or negated orally.

I may not assign or transfer this Agreement without the Company’s prior written consent. I acknowledge that the Reconnection Parties (other than the Company) are third-party beneficiaries of this Agreement, and may enforce their rights hereunder.
