Heal Yourself: Body ~ Mind ~ Spirit by Sandie Gascon
Published by Tellwell Talent on August 12, 2021
Genres: Educational, Inspirational & Personal Growth, Meditation, Non-fiction, Self-help
Pages: 241

The body wants to return to balance. It just needs the tools to do so. Heal Yourself ~ Mind ~ Body ~ Spirit ~ helps you discover the messages your body is sending, and it also shares the tools to aid your body in healing itself.

"Part One: Body" covers Sandie's whole-body approach to healing: rebuilding and rebalancing the body, removing stress, and addressing the root causes of chronic illness. All key systems in the body are covered, including functional laboratory test analysis to determine what support your body needs, and the forms of supplements that are right for you. Because everything in our body is connected, we must also focus on our mind and spirit in order to heal. When we change our negative thoughts, beliefs, and responses to ones that serve us, we remove a huge burden of stress from the body.

"Part Two: Mind" dives deep into all areas of personal growth, from empowering language to the Laws of Attraction, building healthy relationships to wealth consciousness, and so much more.

"Part Three: Spirit" is focused on meditations to help further your spiritual journey. Through meditation, you learn to become the observer of the body. From here suffering becomes optional, allowing you to shift to a vibration of peace where the body, mind, and spirit can heal.

Excerpt from Heal Yourself: Body ~ Mind ~ Spirit

One of the most common questions I receive is, “What is the root cause of my illness?” Everyone wants to blame something: Lyme, candida, mold, root canals, antibiotics, medication, and so on. I have found the answer to be that there is never a single root cause of illness. We all start out with a reserve. I think of these reserves as our bodies’ “bank accounts.”

Genetics and the health of our mother will determine how much of a reserve a person has at the beginning of their life. Through pregnancy and after birth, any stress we encounter makes withdrawals from the bank account. Stress includes emotional stress, physical stress, and chemical stress. Emotional stress is pretty straightforward. Physical stress will include things like injury and exercise. Chemical stress includes toxins, metals, and pathogens. Our world is a stressful place.

The majority of people eat a Standard American Diet (SAD). Kids grow up lacking nutrients. Moms are nutrient deficient, which creates more genetic mutations being expressed from the womb and beyond. If a mom’s detoxification pathways, in particular methylation, are not functioning optimally, it will mean less detoxification capability for the baby. Formula-fed babies start out with a propensity for leaky gut. Moms are now getting vaccinated while pregnant, and babies currently being born have the most vaccines in history.

Withdrawal after withdrawal is happening from our bodies’ bank account, which quickly becomes depleted. Once the person hits zero balance and goes into debt, symptoms start occurring. The further in debt they get, the more symptoms appear, and eventually, disease is inevitable. It is no wonder we are seeing illness in increasingly younger individuals, and the rate of all diseases continues to climb. The amount of stress we face is outrageous.

By the time you start showing symptoms, the last event is what most people correlate with their symptoms and illness. In reality, it is just the straw that broke the camel’s back. If it were not that case of food poisoning, for instance, then it would have been the next stressor.

That is why I don’t focus on pathogens or metals in the beginning, and I do not recommend strict diets. Both of these end up stressing the body further. We need to stop making the withdrawals, or at least reduce them, and start making deposits. Deposits are supplements, herbs, and foods that fuel us.

Deposits include fueling our souls with passion, purpose, joy, and love. Stopping the withdrawals is done by removing chemicals in our environment, reducing emotional stress through mindset work, eating clean, whole foods, and in time, removing metals and pathogens. Rebuild and rebalance, repair detoxification pathways, and remove stress; these 4 Rs are critical to replenishing our bodies’ bank account.

Author Interview with Sandie Gascon

How long have you been writing?

I have been trying to write since I was a little girl. I always wanted to be an author, but my focus was fantasy. I spent a lot of my time in university as a science major, in the library trying to learn to write fiction. I was never able to. I only found my groove when I started to write Heal Yourself in January 2020.

What inspired you to write in this genre?

My desire to help people heal inspired me to write this genre. I have been immersed in the world of natural healing since 2013. I have taken many courses, spent thousands of hours learning, and have accumulated thousands of hours of my own research analyzing thousands of tests from the hundreds of clients I have worked with. There was so much I had to share, and the knowledge poured itself out onto the pages.

Do you have a set writing schedule?

Yes. When I was writing Heal Yourself, I wrote every morning as soon as I woke up for at least an hour. Most often I had been up since the early hours of the morning putting ideas that came to me into my phone. I would then go to the computer when my son woke up and allow them to flow into greater detail.

Do you need silence to write, or can you work in any environment?

I can work in any environment. Well, mostly. My husband’s singing is very distracting and I usually have him refrain until I am done. It is a trigger for me that I am working to become the observer of. I spend a lot of time in meditation practicing becoming the observer of my triggers so they can flow through me.

Do you have a favorite snack or beverage while you are writing?

I like to have water. I try not to snack between meals. It isn’t great for digestion. I discuss why in my book.

Which three words best describe you?

I asked three people who know me the best 3 words to describe me
My husband said: intelligent, ambitious, loyal. I am sure he wanted to say bossy. My best friends said: compassionate, strong, inspiring and determined, compassionate, motivated. I like all of these. Even the bossy, or as I say it, “I have leadership skills”.

Is there anything you would like my readers to know about you and your book?

Heal Yourself is the ultimate healing bible. It covers a completely holistic healing program. It is a paradigm shift as it moves the focus away from illness on to healing. It is the culmination of my healing journey, almost 10 years of research, and the experience I gained from working with my clients.

Part One: Body covers the program itself. It delves into listening to your body to find your ideal diet, which tests need to be run, and in what order to run them. It covers neurotransmitters, thyroid, oxalates, and the root causes of symptoms.

Part Two: Mind shows how the mind-body connection works. How our thoughts shape your reality and impact your health. I share tools on self-care, self-management, money mindset, relationships, protecting energy, building confidence, the laws of attraction, and so much more. There are 35 exercises to help solidify the lessons.

Part Three: Spirit dives into the benefits of meditation, how to meditate and includes 13 meditations. It is best to listen to these in the audiobook on Audible. I had it narrated by one of the world’s best narrators, Cassandra Campbell. I am thrilled with the job she did.

The Appendix is where the science comes alive. I cover genetics, blood analysis, organic acids testing, detox pathways, and the Dutch test. These sections give you tools to analyze your test results and design your own protocols.

I am passionate and driven to help as many people heal naturally as I possibly can. My goal is to get Heal Yourself into the hands of everyone interested in natural healing. Soon I will be giving the book away for free, just pay for shipping and handling. Details will be available soon on my website.

I am also in the process of creating a practitioner certification program that will help people passionate about helping others heal become certified as Health Coaches in my program. It is the most comprehensive, in-depth course I have seen on the market. Make great money in a career you are passionate about, working from home, helping people heal.
