What Is a Successful Healing?
What determines a successful healing? Is it someone who gets up out of a wheelchair and walks? Is it the disappearance of disease? Is it the restructuring and transformation of our DNA?
Or maybe life's the disease and death is the healing.
One day I received a call from an oncologist who asked if I would be able to see one of his patients. I said, "Of course." This woman wasn't able to leave the hospital, so I met her and her husband ther, late in the evening. When I arrived, she was asleep, so I spoke with her husband for a little while, then began the session. Within a few moments, she opened her eyes. He introduced us, and throughout the duration of the session, the couple carried on a very animated and fun conversation. You could see the effects that the chemo and other long-term treatments had taken on her, yet you could also see the sparkle of beauty in her smile and in her eyes.
They were a young couple, probably in their late 30s. When they spoke to one another, their eyes locked like two lovers who had just been reunited after a long separation. It was readily apparent that they enjoyed each other and that they were very much in love. She spoke, he listened; he spoke, she listened. They laughed and brought me into their conversation as if I were a long-time friend. They shared stories of different things they'd done together, and told me about their trips and of people in their lives.
All of a sudden, the woman was craving ice cream--three different kinds! I had already been at the hospital far later than I had planned, but I offered to stay longer while her husband went for food. As he was about to leave, she decided that cheesecake would also be nice. It was 11:00 P.M., yet nothing could have made the man happier than to find all these items and bring them back to his wife. He promised he'd return quickly, although we all knew that by the time he made it out of the hospital complex, found someplace that was open, and returned with everything, it would be a good 45 minutes. And it was. It was also one of the longest 45 minutes I'd experienced because, as the door closed behind him, she turned toward me and said, "I'm going to leave now."
I said, "You're what?" I knew what she meant, yet I couldn't believe what I was hearing.
"I'm going to leave now," she repeated.
"Now?" I asked.
She nodded.
I was somewhat in shock. The woman's demeanor and expression left no room for misinterpretation. She was telling me that she was planning to die right then. She had sent her husband on the food-run to assure that he wouldn't be present when she passed.
"Oh no, you're not," I told her.
I had no intention of his coming back with arms full of ice cream and cheesecake and finding me sitting next to his dead wife.
"I'm going to leave now," she repeated. "You're going to stay right here until your husband gets back," I informed her in response to this third and most recent threat, glancing at the clock and noticing how slowly time seemed to be moving. The point was, I had no doubt that she could have "left" at that very moment. The only way to prevent this from happening was to keep her in conversation. I knew that once I let her stop talking, she was going to let go and cross over.
I told the woman that if she was making this decision to go, her husband would want the opportunity to say good-bye. I was keeping her thought processes engaged, and that was good. At this point, I'd have grabbed a ukelele and played Tiptoe Through the Tulips if I thought it would keep her alive until he came back. We talked. She "stayed."
About 45 minutes later, her husband returned. There was no mention of her "leaving." They resumed normal conversation as if nothing had occurred. My heart was still pounding as the woman ate her ice cream. They offered me some. I...wasn't very hungry. I said my good-nights and made a quick departure.
The husband called the next day to let me know that she had passed. I already knew. He told me then that she had been asleep and/or mostly incoherent for close to two months prior to our visit. This was the first time that she had been lucid for more than a minute or so. He thanked me for giving him back his wife for that one final evening.
Who had the healing, and what was it? Well, they each had a healing. He needed, after two months, to see his wife one last time, to say good-bye and let go. She needed to see him again and know that he would be okay if she left. They each received their gift.
People die. We move on. It's part of our cosmic experience to recycle.
When someone does cross over, it doesn't mean that they didn't have a healing. Their healing may very well have been the ease with which you allowed them to have their transition, the peace they received through your visit to accept and let go--and that chance to smile and say "I love you" to someone who needed to hear it--one last time.
So don't interpret, don't analyze. Just be. And know that you carry the gift of healing--in whatever form that may take.

FIND OUT what’s baffling the medical community. Discover why hospitals and universities around the world are investing time and money in an attempt to explain these healings, and how you, too, can master this extraordinary work! ERIC PEARL will discuss his remarkable story and give live demonstrations on a limited number of audience participants at the Just For The Health Of It! Conference taking place during the weekend of February 3-6, 2006 in Marina del Rey, California. Questions and answer to follow.

Unique in its content, THE BASIC TRUTHS OF HEALING seminar at the Just For The Health Of It! Conference is necessary for both the novice and the advanced practitioner. As a newcomer, you’ll discover how to immediately access these new frequencies of healing. As an advanced healer, you’ll find that “elusive jump” that makes all the difference in your work. Your hands will be attuned to accept this all-inclusive healing spectrum. As you shift to carry and accommodate this more comprehensive continuum of energy, light and information, you’ll learn to bring about and witness visible spontaneous “registers™” (involuntary movements of the face, head, and body, etc.) in those you work with as you guide them into healing realms beyond those previously accessible. You’ll work with these highly palpable energies under Eric’s direct guidance. This is different than Reiki, Johrei, Qi Gong...or any healing technique you’ve encountered. This is beyond technique.
Internationally recognized healer ERIC PEARL has appeared on The Other Side, Sally Jessy Raphael, Coast to Coast AM (with Art Bell and George Noory), America’s Health Network, Extra, FOX TV, and countless television and radio programs worldwide. He’s presented to a full house at Madison Square Garden and his seminars have been featured in various publications including The New York Times.
As a doctor, Eric ran a highly successful chiropractic practice for 12 years when one day patients began reporting that they felt his hands on them – even though he hadn’t physically touched them. For the first couple of months, his palms blistered and bled. Patients soon reported seeing angels and receiving miraculous healings from cancers, AIDS-related diseases, cerebral palsy, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, birth disfigurements and other serious afflictions. All this occurred when Eric simply held his hands near them. And to this day, it continues.
His patients’ healings have been documented in six books to date, including Eric’s own international bestseller, The Reconnection: Heal Others, Heal Yourself, soon in it’s 12th language!
Based in Los Angeles, Eric elicits great interest from top doctors and medical researches at hospitals and universities worldwide. These include Jackson Memorial Hospital, UCLA, Cedars-Sinai, the VA Hospital, University of Minnesota, University of Miami Medical School and the University of Arizona, where he addressed physicians at the request of Dr. Andrew Weil and where new research programs are currently underway.
