Welcome to HEATHER J. FERRIS

AUTHOR, MEDITATION TEACHER, PSYCHOTHERAPIST

I turned my head and looked back out of the bus window in La Penita, Mexico, a tear silently trickling down my cheek. Gary stood smiling on the side of the road waving his hand, as the driver began our journey. I replayed his words, “Go with God,” and me whispering, “Love you.” Was this goodbye, or would we carry this newfound love with us and meet again?

DEMENTIA and OUR LOVE, Caregiving as spiritual practice, is the story of Gary and Heather’s love that sustained them through an unusual and courageous life across continents, including tending Gary and his onset of dementia at 73 years. The story helped them remember their love and use this energy to move through the hard times. “We will always remember us this way,” a song by Lady Gaga, was pivotal in keeping Heather’s focus.

Mindfulness Awakening to a Meaningful Life

​by Heather Ferris

MINDFULNESS Awakening to a Meaningful Life is a pocket book, easily carried to remind you to be present and awake in your life.

The mind is vast in its capacity to create, heal and
connect. Mindfulness helps to develop its full potential; to become more aware.

Today’s busy-ness contributes to minimal awareness and obsessive thinking. We keep ourselves distracted and entertained. Our minds are seldom still. This can affect our health, causing unhappiness, chronic pain, disease, obesity, addiction, depression and so on, as well as reactionary, rather than meaningful relationships.

Dementia and our Love provides a beautiful glimpse into Heather and Gary’s life experiences and relationship. When two individuals are as deeply and spiritually connected as Heather and Gary, it is indeed remarkable. Their energetic connection is so powerful and exceptional that one cannot help but be touched.
