Are we actually seeing ourself into sickness? What do cancer, health and grief have to do with one another? In Season 1 Episode 3 Host Heather Leonard explains how she makes the connection on these topics to change the way we look at wellness through a mind, body and spirit approach. No more hearing these terms and thinking woo-woo, instead she tackles the topics to break it down in easy to understand terminology.
As humans, it’s been said, we are 99.9999% energy and only .00001% physical matter.
In 80 to 100 days, 30 trillion will have replenished—the equivalent of a new you.

As a non-believer in the energetic who has been converted to a firm believer, Heather offers science to back up common claims. She, herself, needed to experience and witness to believe and now she strives to take others with her to help them achieve results.
Heather inspires people to realize that they are constantly turning over new healthy cells, why not have those cells be healthy?1
We Do Not See Things As They Are, We See Things As We Are
Anais Nin
So the real question is…. Are you seeing yourself sick? Perspective is everything! Can rose colored glasses be a gift? She gives personal experiences to explain how a mis-communication led to a fallout with friends.
Sayings like “Thoughts Become Things” is analyzed in the context of how physical changes in our body occur in response to thoughts. Autonomic nervous system responses like mouth watering, goose bumps, etc. happen in response to thoughts every day.
The stress hormone cortisol is discussed. The harmful effects of having cortisol remain high in today’s environment. Is our reaction proportionate to the current threat (or lack thereof)? In a recent blog, cortisol is discussed at length and its consequence of the disproportionate response.
Strategies are given for remaining calm and not allowing ourselves to become sick from our energetic shifts. Can you recognize patterns? Cortisol has addictive components, so how can we buffer its attraction? Glucocorticoid hormones, including cortisol, are thought to play a key role in the vulnerability to addictive behaviors by acting on our reward pathway. Studies suggest further research is needed to investigate the role of cortisol on vulnerability to develop behavioral addictions such as pathological gambling.2
Cortisol making us sick? Sickness causing increased cortisol? Chicken or egg I suppose. Since cortisol release is to a certain extent a controllable factor, Heather focuses on this aspect within the podcast.
Don’t Tell Me I’m Terminal!
Whether you are a believer in God, or not, Heather explains that she has faith that has gotten her through her most difficult challenges.
Other than God, no one gets to place an expiration date on your life! Prognosis, however, lends to people placing upper limits and expectations on how long people have left. Prognosis is defined as the likely course, or outcome of a disease or ailment. There are endless accounts of advanced staged cancers who get recoveries.
With her husband’s cancer diagnosis, they shocked practitioners often with how well he was doing as advanced as his imaging was. She herself was questioned as to whether she understood the gravity of the situation at hand and how sick he was. This was largely due to her optimistic perspective.
Practitioners must remain compassionate as to what people are going through when they get difficult news regarding expected outcomes.
Lifestyle changes can make changes to expected longevity.
Heather is quoted as saying that we should be focusing on faith, not hope. Having trust and confidence, not keeping fingers crossed.
She considers herself a blend of Eastern and Western medicine and says never to ignore your doctor’s recommendations.
Eastern medicine is often misconstrued and at a surface level understanding. Preventative medicine grounded in homeostasis is not woo-woo. She herself has been converted to a believer in watching energy work make major health changes.
The law of thermodynamics, or law of conservation of energy: energy can’t be created or destroyed is exemplified through her own techniques she has performed as a physical therapist.
Neuroplasticity is explained simply. As she shows how you can be “Simply Healed.”
Why then do some people die? It doesn’t always work. We can’t all change our mindset to the necessary degree. Once we’ve heard things and believe them on any level as truth, it’s impossible to un-hear. All parts have to come together in a major change to things like diet, supplements, molds, fungus, yeasts, lymphatics, parasites and the like, which are all necessary to improve completely and not let sick win.
The power of that small voice in the back of our head limits us. Massive shifts require massive action in trying to reverse the direction of cancer producing cells.
Letting go of resistance is key. Music in cancer wards and watching fun videos can increase the “happy” hormones.
Heather gives a anecdotal action step she takes to improve her energy and vibration in any circumstance and you can actually here the levity in her voice as she does it in real time.
What About The Half Empty Cup?
So maybe you’re feeling like your cup is currently only half filled. Are you filling your half filled cup with ego, self doubt, or pessimism? Positive self talk is vital. Do you say phrases like I’m dying? Words have power, so our expressions are crucial and we have to use words carefully.
Masaru Emoto has taken this concept and demonstrated it in action with his experiments and exhibits it beautifully in his book Hidden Messages in Water.
What we do, how we speak, how we think all affects our health and wellness. We attract what we are, not what we want, so start living in the present.
Attract in positive vibrations and leave sick in the rear view mirror. The analogy of a river of life can be used to think about how to shift and change the flow, by feeding the river well with positive pebbles.
Worldwide, we can start to change the impact on this earth, through our own contribution, so make it be beautiful and pay compliments and watch the amazing ripple effect. Make other’s energetic vibration rise, by being a positive influence yourself.
Possibility versus limitation. Faith versus hope. Miracles versus pessimism. Joy and or gratitude over focusing on what you don’t have can all attract more good stuff. Don’t argue for your limitations.
Manifesting is reviewed and how people are going about it backwards. Simple fixes. Heather uses Simply Healed With Heather Leonard as a vehicle to demonstrate how simply we can heal (or at least start to heal). Stop seeing yourself sick… it’s a verb, an action word- “seeing.” How do you see yourself? Are you sick? Don’t tell me I’m terminal, because words have power.
