Available Modalities -Products-Services

The modalities you will learn in your sessions with Heather will teach you to better balance your subtle or esoteric mind-body energy. As this energy comes into improved balance, your mind-body connection will then promote a harmony in the working of your gross or exoteric mind-body energy. The increased harmony will likely result in improved physical energy, mental concentration, and decreased manifestations that present problems or stress in your day-to-day life. You will work in conjunction with Heather to determine which of the modalities will be most effective based on your preference and energy presentation.Your distance online work with Heather most frequently will take the form of an initial wellness plan(fee of ~$50) with unlimited email and videomail support for you that involves at least a weekly update for one month which then is followed up by continued monthly update consults(fee of ~$25 per month)for several months which also gives you unlimited email and videomail support with the desired at least weekly feedback. You may email Heather from the mailbox icon at the end of this page to discuss in detail the services,products, and fees.Free brief occult reading requests may also be emailed to Heather.

Testimonials

Many of Heather's clients achieve great benefits through her services. Here are a few testimonials.

My daughter S. was severely brain-injured at the age of 17 in July of 1997. She cannot walk, talk or write to communicate and has contractures of her right leg and arm. She sees a neurosurgeon every other month for follow-up, but there is not really anything more he can offer for her improvement.

A friend of mine suggested I contact Heather Johnstone in Illinois (we live in Missouri) as she had been helpful to her in the past. Heather responded to my email right away with suggestions for acupuncture (by provider), aromatherapy, pranayoga sweeping and chanting music. I took S. to a local chiropractor and told him what Heather had suggested be done--he agreed with her plan.

Since following Heather's plan, S. has become more vocal and has increased use of her limbs. She can now sit up in bed unassisted and is making greater use of her right hand. While she cannot say words, she has become more vocal--imitating the animals she sees outside her window and trying to talk. She has also become interested in cooking again--something she very much enjoyed before her accident. S. will now tear coupons out of the paper for food items she wants and goes to the refrigerator in her wheelchair and picks out the food she wants. S. is also more cheerful--she smiles much more often and interacts better with her environment. Thanks to Heather, I am expecting even more progress

Sincerely,

J.S. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dr. Heather has been working with myself and my husband for over 7 years. I feel that we owe her our lives.

At the beginning of work with Dr. Heather, my husband had been recently injured in a car accident. His injury was mostly to his frontal lobe. That left him with speech difficulties, lack of basic glow (he seemed to have lost himself) and violent mood swings, as well as left sided weakness after the typical course of rehab. Her energy treatments, dietary recommendations, acupressure recommendations brought him back to me. His personality came back. His mood swings evened out tremendously. His thought processes have improved to the point where he can help around the house. His Spanish language came back. He is understanding most of English again. Presently, she works with him weekly, and he keeps up a daily routine of wellness work. He continues to improve each day. His doctors continue to be very impressed with his steady progress.

I have many health problems, including diabetes, high blood pressure, hypothyroidism, irritable bowel syndrome, migraines, medication-related hepatitis. Her weekly energy treatments immediately help all of my symptoms. I work hard to follow her recommendations in the areas of: magnet use; pranayama; diet;herbs;acupressure;reflexology. Though I have much to improve yet in my life, I notice the difference right away in my numbers and in how I feel when I do my wellness work and when I do not. An additional comment about Dr. Heather's ability to read illness in a person. Several months ago, my doctors were sure that I had thyroid cancer. Dr. Heather told me to follow up with their work-up. However, she did tell me that the energy indicated that I did not have thyroid cancer, just some benign growths. Her words helped me to have the courage to go forward with my work-up (without her support I would have been too frightened to get the tests as I have too much to do already and could not take the news of cancer). After much testing, the doctors came up with her diagnosis. I appreciate Dr. Heather very much.

Sincerely,

M. C.

29/07/04 Update-I wanted to let you know that with Dr. Heather's help, I have decreased my diabetes medicine by one-half. My blood sugars are fine. My blood pressure is fine. My stomach is great. Decreasing the medicine really helped me feel better. We have only been working with the herbs for one month, so I hope to be able to stop my diabetes medicine over time. I soon will be stopping my thyroid medicine for my underactive gland. Dr. Heather has a suggestion for managing that as well. I get horrible headaches from my thyroid medicine. I look forward to letting those go soon.

Again, M.C.

Heather is responsible from bringing back to health from a near total collapse of my immune system. When I came to see her, I had already been to many doctors, both allpathic and alternative, and I had nearly given up, both on finding someone who could help me, and on ever returning to full health again. Through Heathers guidance and compassion, I am healthier and more well-balanced than I was before I was ill. She is a true healer.

I first showed up at Heather’s door in 1992, in crisis and doubled over from a severely ruptured lumbar disc. Pills and traditional medical treatments had not helped and the only option seemed to be surgery. Twenty-four hours later, after one treatment, and some recommended herbs I was standing up straight and the pain had decreased by 75 percent. I continued to see Heather for several years, for ongoing treatment for my back and for general wellness care. I came to consider Heather my main care giver at that time and appreciated how she blended her great knowledge of both Eastern and Western healing modalities to formulate the right treatments. I also appreciated how she devoted much time to educating me on how to care for myself. I moved away from Chicago in 1996, but have continued to communicate with Heather on occasion, for both medical and occult consultation. She has provided distant healing for me on several occasions that I consider nothing short of remarkable. Heather is truly kind and gives generously of herself and her gifts and I consider myself blessed to be on the receiving end.

And for those of you who are not ready to start an in-depth wellness routine...

Since using neti daily for my sinuses, I have not had a major headache.

Sincerely,

D.H.

This client had daily severe headaches for years. All he did was moisten his sinuses with nasal lavage, neti, and his quality of life improved dramatically:) ----------

Perspectives on Illness

Illness as learning and loving

Most frequently, I note illness with its symptomatology to be a way for a person to learn and to love. Learning and loving are two important exercises that the mind-body complex is able to demonstrate well on Earth due to the physicality of human-animal-plant incarnation. The learning can be as simple as increasing the understanding of pathology and the strengths of the mind-body complex. Or the learning can incorporate experiences with the subtle rhythms.

The loving comes as the people in surrounding support networks try to assist the person. Even perceived poor performance in this arena brings the love to the person. So if the client feels alienated bythe lack of demonstrable support of his or her family and friends, some healing takes place. Additionally, the loving comes as the affected person attempts to show love for himself or herself by allowing time and devoting energy to the healing process. An important concept that I see helpful for clients is the understanding that the disease is not something to be fought or survived. Martians that we are here on Earth, we tend to bring up strength by turning the healing process into a conflict. While that does immediately bring up our adrenaline, giving us short-term healing responses, the conflict paradigm drains us in the long haul, leaving us open to subsequent severe illness episodes. So as the client learns to love himself by devoting time and energy to healing, hopefully the client remembers that illness is a state of unease to be balanced rather than an enemy to be fought. Then the client can work to minimize the unease and harmonize his or her entire mind-body complex. In this way deep, prolonged healing occurs without the stress of the adrenaline fight or flight response.

Fear and its relationship to illness

What one emotion is the most disruptive factor in improving your health?

Fear. Fear causes derangements at all levels.

Mental level-

When afraid we cannot make decisions easily. The processing of information is distorted. A quick adrenaline rush from an immediate flight or fight response may be initially helpful in the decision-making process. However, for mid-term and long-term information processing, this fear aspect causes much difficulty in forward movement. We tend to rely on imprinting and early childhood experiences. However, in the presently, vastly, different world in which we find ourselves, the feedback from imprinting and early childhood experiences is not usually applicable to our present needs. So the hindered information processing of fear influence slows forward movement on the mental level.

Physical level-

When we are afraid, our immune systems function poorly. The endocrine glands initially are over-reactive and then burn out. This process leads to our issues of diabetes, thyroid disorders, and adrenal failures. Additionally, our immune system fails in the following areas. Our beta lymphocytes get hyper-reactive and cause our allergy responses. While other aspects of our immune system fail to respond at all, leaving us vulnerable to cancers and AIDS type symptomatology. In many crucial physical areas, fear will negatively impact wellness.

Spiritual level-

Forward movement on the spiritual level is facilitated by lightness and airiness. For example, a vegetarian diet facilitates forward spiritual movement over a meat diet, because the vegetarian diet is less weighed down by layers of energy. A meat diet involves more levels of energy from the plant and then the animal that one consumes. A vegetarian diet only involves the plant energy. So the lighter plant energy helps one move forward more easily. In a similar manner, fear slows forward movement. Fear is a very heavy emotion. It resides in the lower chakras. As an anchor will weigh down a boat, fear will weigh down the mind-body-soul complex and prohibit forward movement.

In asking ourselves, “how can I get better?” One answer that is almost always applicable is to diminish your fear. Be not afraid. Trust in your strength. Each of us has the power to heal.

What is a chakra?

A chakra is a collection bag of subtle energy for the body. The chakra works to hold your subtle energy in much the same way as the stomach holds food. The chakra is, itself, made up of prana or subtle energy. The chakra is located along the spinal column line of the body. The chakra needs to be healthy and active to be able to help the body's prana move along in a balanced fashion. If the body's prana,vital energy, does not move well, the mind-body complex will become ill. Forms of energy healing, such as Reiki, Therapeutic Touch, pranic healing, qi gong, and pranayoga work to improve the mind-body's vital energy(prana), so that the chakras can do their job of storage and so the vital energy can flow evenly throughout and around the human body.

What is prana?

Prana is vital life force energy. This vital life force energy serves to nourish and rejuvenate the mind-body-soul complex.Your personal prana exists within your body and around your body.Other universal prana exists everywhere. On the physical Earth plane, prana has qualities of matter. It has tactile, gustatory, olfactory and visual qualities. Your daily activities can work to improve your prana balance. Activities such as yoga and martial arts do function to improve your prana.

Humans are not the only beings that contain prana. Although philosophies differ about the degree of awareness that other bodies on our Earth plane show, most alternative energy wellness theories do incorporate the concept of prana flow in and around other Earth bodies. For example, Ayurvedic,Yoga and Traditional Chinese Medicine theories utilize the prana of trees in their therapeutic wellness routines.

What are labyrinths?

A labyrinth is a meditation tool. It is a single course maze which works to help your subtle energies align while you focus on moving forward to the center and out again.

The walking labyrinths work to balance your subtle or esoteric energy as any form of energy balancing exercise, such as hatha yoga or martial arts, does. The physical movement in combination with your mind energy changes the esoteric energy, adding energy where you are deficient and draining it where you are in excess.

The fingertip labyrinths, in which your finger moves through a miniature maze, tap into your subtle energy via the physical finger movement and your mind energy. So similar energy changes can occur with this type of mini-labyrinth.

Walking the labyrinth, either whole body or with the fingertip, helps you to move forward on all levels. With consistent practice you will improve physically, emotionally, and spiritually.
