Reconnection Testimonials

"When I first began the Reconnection, I began knowing nothing about what I would experience. My whole body felt as if it was being tugged from different directions. My inner self was almost what I would call being placed together like puzzle pieces. I had short and fast pricking feelings on the bottoms of my feet and the palms of my hands.

As it continued my hands began tingling wildly. What an experience! I heard what sounded like people around me and felt so peaceful.

Ever since my Reconnection I can confidently say that I am more the person I was meant to be."

Ian K., San Marcos, Texas


I would like you to know how much I enjoyed and how much I received from the two day session of The Reconnection I had with you, in April of this year.  As you know, my intent was to become a facilitator myself and as of this writing, I’m happy to say I reached my goal.

However, I did want you to know that during my sessions with you, not only did I just feel great, but I felt much more “present.”  I felt being more the Observer of Self and being aligned in some specific way.  My internal feeling was that some kind of “procedure” was taking place. My sense was that I was being “tweaked” one section at a time. I know it’s all good because these positive changes remain within me permanently.

And finally, during my session with you, I also had a great feeling of appreciation flow through me. That appreciation… was for you. Thank you so much for doing this important work.

As a stay-at-home mother of 3 small children, I found that my days were busy and discombobulated. I wasn't feeling a connection with my children and my world around me, and I constantly felt guilty for getting frustrated with my children. Since my reconnection, things have been very different. My days are still busy, but I feel that I am connecting more with those around me...friends, famliy, my husband, and most importantly my children. During my reconnection, I felt many sensations and heard soothing sounds. The sensation that was most present was that of a warm, burning sensation all over. In retrospect, I wonder if that may have been the feeling of my love and passions for my family awakening after being dormant for so long. Now, every day I look at my children and hold them and speak to them, and I am overcome with an amazing, unmeasurable, and unconditional love for them...even when I'm frustrated. I feel that I'm getting more out of my days and soaking up my experiences than before when the days just seemed to pass while I watched. I'm so thankful to Ann for my reconnection and the gifts I have been experiencing ever since!

 “I had just turned 88 years old when Ann did my Reconnection.  I had been sick and I got well and then everything felt great.  I had been feeling depressed, everything was unhappy, like there was nothing good about the world.  After my Reconnection the whole world looked different.  It was like going from a cloudy day to a sunshiny day.  I have experienced joy like I never had before, seeing the good in everybody and in life rather than focusing on the negative.
I had a very hard childhood and I could never let go of the bad things that happened but after my Reconnection it all seemed to go away – I was able to let go of it and now do not even want to think about any of that.
In the past I worried about things so much – things I had no control over.  Now I accept that things are what they are and everything always works out fine.
My Reconnection changed my life and I love feeling joyful and looking forward to every day.”

“I experienced a Reconnective “healing session” six months ago.  I was suffering from a sore left knee that led to sciatica in my left hip as a result of the way I was walking.  Physical therapy made it worse so I gave Ann’s Reconnective healing a chance.  After two sessions about 2 weeks apart, I noticed a change taking place.  First my knee quit hurting.  I could fully extend it with much less pain.  After another week the pains in my knee and hip were gone.  I believe my body was washed in healing energy.”

John D., Oahu, Hawaii

 

 “Through dialog Ann created a relaxing, safe environment.  Ann told me to be open and to notice what I experience.  Also, she informed me that I may have immediate responses or could, in time, go through an unfolding process.  I felt complete trust. 

At some point during my Reconnection I began literally embracing myself by wrapping my arms around my chest and shoulders, and holding myself tightly.  Then I felt tears as I gently rubbed my arms with my hands.   For me, it was such a release as well an awakening… an awareness of the need to heal myself… to love and to embrace my core spirit.  Basically, I felt that I was nurturing myself. 

As a result of my recent healing, I have given voice to myself and have set boundaries with loved ones in my family (a challenging setting).  This chosen behavior has allowed me to build on and nurture my self-worth. 

I believe Ann was the instrument that empowered me to experience my healing; therefore, I feel a very strong ownership in my Reconnection process.  This recognition of ownership has been very powerful for me, thus giving me new strength.  This new strength is so invigorating and feels so good. 

The message I received was to take care of myself.  When I am feeling vulnerable I take time out (I have quiet time) to reflect on my actual Reconnection process with Ann.  I believe it is imperative to address and embrace the victim role I had been living in order to stay in touch with who I am and be able to celebrate “me”.

The gift I have received from my Reconnection is that I have removed myself from the victim role – by giving myself voice.  Most welcoming I find myself moving away from reactions within me that produce hurt and anger.

To anyone who reads this testimony:  I want you to know by writing it, I have experienced gratifying energy. “

“I experienced the Reconnection just two weeks ago while visiting Hawaii.   The Reconnection connects one to forces that cannot be explained but which are nevertheless real.    Since then I have felt a closer bond to the natural world around me in a way that is quite enchanting.   So, with eager anticipation, I look forward to the unfolding of an awareness of many more realities.”

Dr. Lois G., Houston, Texas

 

Focusing Testimonials


“My experience of focusing has been profound.  With Ann as a guide, the focusing process is a powerful tool that has enabled me to experience the core of my being, through images and feelings, which when expressed, and then reflected back by Ann seem to confirm the reality of my experience during the focusing process.  I have been surprised at the depth of knowing that my deepest essence has been able to unearth during the process of focusing.  Focusing has helped me in my daily journey to take careful interest in each moment, rather than interpret each moment from past experience or future fears.

Ann is able to act as a guide in the focusing process in a way that mirrors what her client expresses.  She does not impose her perspective on to the focusing experience of others, but instead, listens carefully and reflects what she hears in a gentle, sensitive manner.”  

Dr. Lois G., Houston, Texas

 

“When I had a focusing session with Ann, I had been dealing with high blood pressure.  I was on two new medications and the doctor told me to check my blood pressure several times a day and told me what to do if it got over a certain number.  I was so worried about it and when it went up, it would scare me so badly.  During the Focusing session, Ann guided me to the place inside my body where I felt the worry and fear.  I remember just spending time with that place and Ann saying things that helped me be with it and let it have voice.
Before the Focusing session, the blood pressure number the doctor had told me to watch for kept going over and over in my mind.  I was obsessed with it and in such a state of fear.  During the Focusing session, that place changed to a very relaxed feeling and the number I had been playing over and over in my mind went away.  I couldn’t even make it come into my mind!  After the focusing session, I felt very relaxed and peaceful inside.  That peaceful feeling stayed with me and I stopped worrying about my blood pressure.  I don’t really understand it but I know it made a big difference for me.  I felt totally different.”
