Welcome to Berlin. Population: desperate. In the throes of the climate crisis the green tech pioneers are king, and if you aren't willing to be their serf then you're surplus to requirements.
"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.
read an excerpt...
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.

Does this book have a special meaning to you? i.e. where you
found the idea, its symbolism, its meaning, who you dedicated it to, what made
you want to write it?
Yes, it is very special to me. I poured so much knowledge on how to heal
naturally into the pages. I went through so much suffering on my own personal
journey to find these tools. I shared all my personal meditations and a
compilation of the most powerful mindset tools I had learned in the five years
prior to writing the book. I dedicated
Heal Yourself to my family as they have been my greatest spiritual teachers.
Where do you get your storylines from?
The entire book has been created through my personal experiences
healing and the hundreds of clients I have worked with over the years along
with the thousands of hours I have put into studying and taking courses in
natural healing and functional medicine.
Was this book easier or more difficult to write than others? Why?
It is my first book and was very easy to write in that when
I sat down to write the words always flowed.
It was a challenge committing to writing every day. It took me almost a year to write it and do
the preliminary edits before I sent it off to be edited professionally. The most difficult part was the editing. After each edit, I reread it and if I found
and mistakes, I would send it off to be edited again. I went through seven rounds of editing and 5
different editors. I also listened to the
entire audiobook after the first audiobook recording round and then again in
full after the mistakes were corrected.
Do you only write one genre?
Yes, I only write in the holistic health and wellness genre
though in the future I could see myself writing specifically on conscious
parenting. I also have ideas and
storylines for fantasy novels.
Give us a picture of where you write, where you compose
these words…is it Starbucks, a den, a garden…we want to know your inner sanctum?
Most of my ideas came to me in bed between 3:00 and 5:00
am. I find I am most connected to source
at that time. While I was writing Heal
Yourself, I was usually up between those times most nights. I would be awoken with a flood of energy and
ideas would pour in. My son was co
sleeping with me so I would turn my phone on red light mode and write down all
the random inspiration. I would usually
fall back to sleep around 6:00 am. I
would then awaken at 8:00 am, turn on my computer and type. I would organize and make sense of all the
ideas that came through the night. I
would write in my office and regularly be interrupted by my toddler. I made a commitment to not be irritated with
any interruptions. I would allow them
and go with the flow. Any lower
vibration emotions like frustration would only hinder the creative
process. I knew that what was important
would come back if it was meant to be in the book.
And finally, of course…was there any specific event or circumstance
that made you want to be a writer?
I have always wanted to be a writer. When I was a child, I would sit at the
kitchen table and try to write a book.
Looking back at my determination and my stick figure drawings is quite amusing. In university I tried so very hard to write
my ideas for fantasy novels. I read so
many books on how to write. I could
never get anything on paper besides the story line, characters, and plot. When
I started writing Heal Yourself the words just flowed. I could type for hours without needing a
break, stop, and pick up where I left off the next day. It was an amazing feeling, and I am very
grateful I had the experience. Currently
I am working on creating a practitioner course where people who are passionate
about helping others heal can become certified as a health coach.

What if your childhood harbored a dire warning about your future? What if your life and the lives of dozens of others, including your future child, depended on you deciphering that warning before it is too late?
Mother Blues is about the maternal relationships we never knew existed, the evil we never expect, and the redemption we never think possible. Subversively feminist and environmental, this is a novel about mothers: those we have loved and lost, those we have never known, and those who have always been there for us whether we have realized it or not. And while this is not a novel about blues music, the blues is everywhere in this story, both grounding it in history and pushing it forward in a slow, rhythmic ache.
If there is one maternal presence that binds together the characters of this novel, living and dead, it is the blues itself. Bessie Smith, Ma Rainey, Etta James, Big Mama Thornton, Mahalia Jackson, and all the timeless mothers to that quintessentially American genre are here, a soulful Greek chorus singing from the shadows, warning and imploring, offering hope, and bearing witness to lives adrift and in danger of capsizing.
Owen Thomas is a life-long Alaskan and avid reader. He has written five books: "The Lion Trees" (which has garnered over sixteen international book awards, including the Amazon Kindle Book Award, the Eric Hoffer Book Award, the Book and Author Book of the Year, the Beverly Hills International Book Award and, most recently, a finalist in the 2020 Book Excellence Awards); "Mother Blues," (a novel of music and mystery set in post-Hurricane Harvey Texas); "Message in a Bullet: A Raymond Mackey Mystery," (the first in a series of detective novels); "Signs of Passing" (a book of interconnected short stories, and winner of fourteen book awards, including the 2014 Pacific Book Awards for Short Fiction, also named one of the 100 Most Notable Books of 2015 by Shelf Unbound Magazine); and "This is the Dream," (a collection of stories and novellas that explore that perplexing liminal distance between who we are and what we want). Owen maintains an active fiction and photography blog on Facebook, Tumblr and on his author website at www.owenthomasliterary.com.
