Awakening To Me: One Woman's Journey To Self Love Kindle Edition

by Kerri Hummingbird Sami (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.8 out of 5 stars 12 ratings
Awakening To Me is the Category Winner in 2014 The Indie Spiritual Book Awards, and 2015 Pinnacle Book Achievement Awards. It is a story of personal metamorphosis, written over the course of several years in real time as life unfolded and lessons were learned. It is a work of naked truth about Kerri Hummingbird's struggles with borderline personality disorder, recovering from divorce after a 20 year marriage, and seeking love from outside herself. The story documents how alternative healing methods (shamanic energy medicine and reiki) and mindfulness practices (Yoga and Toltec wisdom) led to an amazing transformation that arguably negates the former psychological diagnosis. Kerri shares her story so that others may witness that with dedication, faith, and a willingness to shine a light into the shadows, challenges can be overcome and lasting inner peace and self-love can be cultivated. Let Kerri's story and her heartfelt recommendations for self-help inspire you to begin your own journey of healing.

"Kerri's raw courage and vulnerable transparency blaze a trail for any woman on a healing journey. Awakening to Me is a magnificent book that takes us behind the scenes of transformation, and shows how even the most difficult situations can be the fodder for finding oneself. Let Kerri's book guide you to find your independence and self-love."
— HeatherAsh Amara, author of The Toltec Path of Transformation and Warrior Goddess Training

"In Awakening To Me, Kerri shares her intimate and difficult personal and spiritual journey to identify and express her authentic being into the world. Her story is engaging, sometimes disturbing, yet with a clear underlying thread of compassion for herself and others also engaged in their own struggle with borderline personality disorder. In her words, she seeks to give voice to those who have no voice. Her life voyage takes her through light and darkness, to amazing heights and agonizing lows. In her world travels she meets with some of the teachers who have helped shape the views of spiritual development for a generation. Each has something to share with her that may shed light upon your own path, as well.
It has been my pleasure and honor to walk with Kerri through some of her journey. I heartily recommend this book to you as a tool for your own amazing self-exploration. Among these pages you will find a courageous and dedicated explorer of life and spirit."
— Gerry Starnes, M.Ed, author of Spirit Paths: The Quest for Authenticity

“This powerful book intensely and beautifully expresses the internal world of someone with Borderline Personality Disorder. The author takes us on a tour of her internal emotional world: the depths of despair, the emptiness, and frantic efforts to find love. Ms. Hummingbird takes us with her on the journey toward internal independence and core stability – what works and what doesn’t.

From her personal work she provides suggestions, exercises and quotes. This book will be of profound use to anyone with this diagnosis, their family members, therapists and allies. In fact, I’d also recommend it for those diagnosed with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder or who have symptoms of Bipolar Disorder.

But, in truth, we can all benefit from reading this book. Awakening to Me is an invitation to self-honesty, persistence in seeking meaningful help, and the long work of sustained effort.

This book is well written and well organized but it is the author’s honesty and insight that makes it powerful. Her emotions and thoughts, the related beliefs are clearly described. These are in turn related to events in Ms. Hummingbird's history, into present relationships and dynamics in a manner that doesn’t lose the reader in her internal world. Instead, we understand ourselves better, our friends and family members. We understand better what it means to be human.”
— Category Judge, Indie Spiritual Book Awards 2014

    5.0 out of 5 stars A good book makes you want to live inside the story. A great book gives you no choice.
    Reviewed in the United States on October 23, 2014
    Awakening To Me: One Woman’s Journey To Self Love, is a true, honest sharing of the author’s downward spiral to rock bottom despair and her excruciating painful search for love. A powerfully well written memoir of a young woman diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder, gives the reader a profound experience inside her mind. Kerri shares with us the healing modalities such as fire walking, energy medicine, acupuncture, shamanic meditations, recapitulation and more, that proved to her benefit and triumph over her struggles and self-defeating perceptions. This raw and uncensored account of her transformation is pure inspiration at its finest. I found myself cheering this spiritual warrior woman on, as she made breakthrough after breakthrough, facing her demons.

    The author’s personal artwork gives the reader a visual image of the dance of the light and darkness in her life. In her unique style, the author shares quotes of inspiration from herself, her mentors and spiritual authors, at strategic places in her story. Exercises and suggestions are included to help the reader in their own healing. The author gives us her raw, uncensored, authentic self, to help us understand her experiences and the wisdom she gained. Would you want anything less? Bravo Kerri, bravo!

    5.0 out of 5 stars I highly recommend this book and the Toltec/shamanistic practices described within
    Reviewed in the United States on August 23, 2014
    Awakening to Me is a truly inspirational book, showing that the diagnosis of borderline personality disorder is not necessarily a life sentence. With courage, perseverance and the proper tools, Kerri was able to build a core sense of self that had been missing due to early abuse. I highly recommend this book and the Toltec/shamanistic practices described within. A loving community is also a crucial part of recovery. Well done, Kerri!

    This book is the brave and honest report of the journey to self. She deals with the difficult issues of deep emotional pain, shame and self-doubt. For those who suffer this world of an unstable sense of self, for those with PTSD symptoms, this is your book, your companion and guide to profound, deep change, to coming home to self.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Good biography, but not a good tool box.
    Reviewed in the United States on June 22, 2018
    It's a pretty good read, but it's more of a memoir than say a book that really gives you tools to use. Lots of good quotes, but there are an overabundance of them. I was more interested in how she evolved and the tools and techniques rather than a storyline.

    This is an amazingly brave book, and one that will help many, many people. It is one woman's tale of her own personal journey of healing using alternative methods when traditional ones failed her, as they do many of us. I highly recommend this award-winning book!!!
