All I ever wanted in life was to be happy. To lead a life that was stress free, to love whom I wanted to love, give to whom I wanted to give and laugh when I wanted to laugh, have sex with gay abandonment, not be self-conscious about my body and just let go! I wanted to walk in nature and wonder about how it all came to be, to live my life how I wanted to live it and be whom I wanted to be without fear of criticism and reproach. I am writing this book because life just wasn’t like that for me and I know many of us feel this way too! I longed for the day when I could be truly free and live a life with true purpose. The book you are about to read is about finding out who you really are and what it will take for you to be really happy - to create the life that you have been yearning for! The life that is meant to be for you. The only thing that is stopping you having this is YOU! Unpredictable things happen and we lose our way. Well, carry on reading this book and you might just find your way back! Getting back to the topic of happiness. Happiness comes firstly from within, which involves being happy with your- self, inside and out. Why don’t you you think about this for a moment? Have you ever had something happen to you that has changed your life forever? There is no turning back, no revers- ing the outcome, nothing will ever be the same again? Have you ever felt so disconnected as if you were looking at yourself from a mirror, walking through life and not feeling a thing? Ever felt like you don’t belong in this world and everything is alien to you? Can’t relate to anyone? Is life just too hard with each day a struggle just to function at a basic level? Have you ever been in a crowded room yet feel very alone? I could go on ... If you have felt these, then know that you are truly not alone with your feelings. The truth is, we just don’t talk enough about how we are feeling. We hold it all inside until it becomes a volcano. We then become physically or mentally ill because the body requires an outlet to release the emotions stored up inside. It is as simple as that! Just hold that thought... This is life. Life can be hard. Life can be difficult. Life can be full of obstacles, pit-falls and challenges. It is how we deal with these obstacles, pitfalls and life challenges that defines us. Every person is unique in their capacity to experience pain, love, joy, sorrow, hurt, elation, happiness, wonder, com- passion, anger, and much more. So the question is, how is it some people can ride the storm of life, take each challenge as it comes and reach the other side without the battle scars whereas others feel the full force of their experiences, that life is one emotional roller-coaster with no reprieve, no getting off the ride, until their mind and body is screaming no more. They just want to get off whatever it takes! What are your thoughts on that... I have heard the saying ”Life is what you make it”, that we are the creator of our lives and that everything in it is what we choose for ourselves - the good, the bad and the ugly! What if this is true? That every action you take, every thought you think, every interaction you have in your world is a reflection of what is going on inside of you. How does that make you feel? Feeling fearful? Do you believe that to be true? Or have you already dismissed it in your mind as just a load of rubbish. I thought as much! Lets just say for a minute that this is an absolute truth! Would you be prepared to put it to the test and see just what exactly is going on within? Are you willing to understand why it is that you do the things that you do, believe the things that you believe, hold certain ideals and notions. Are you unable to understand why you fear or love something? How do you know if it is something that you have picked up from a previous experience, which has resulted in fear? Perhaps it was taught by someone, I think this is possibly so... Would you be willing to explore these beliefs and traits to understand how they can hold you back and how they can help you move forward in your life? Hold that thought..

About the Book
The Hummingbird Process is a holistic process that anyone can do. But it is particularly effective for people who have any form of mental illness from depression, self-harming, anxiety, low self-esteem, and lack of confidence or are just finding life stressful and are having trouble engaging in their life due to a life-changing experience or trauma. This is a program that is used to still the mind and cut out the mind chatter that can lead to destructive thoughts. It helps you get in touch with your inner self. Working through the process enables you to truly understand yourself using visualization and self-enquiry. You will also use a journal to track and record memories and stories about your life. This will allow a greater understanding of who you are and why you do the things you do. Ultimately, this process will heal past traumas, beliefs, and attitudes that do not serve you today. The process takes the form of a virtual house that has many floors. Each floor has several rooms for you to explore. Each room represents an aspect of yourself. As you enter a room, you meet an aspect of yourself. This presents an opportunity to have a conversation about why you are in this room and what it represents to you. Write in your journal about your experiences in each room—your findings and how you feel. In time, certain observations will emerge and patterns of behavior can be seen. After working through the rooms on each floor, an opportunity to break the pattern can be taken. Thereafter, you move on to the next floor. The final floor will be the place where you get to see and understand who you truly are. From here, you will have all the tools and skills to live a more fulfilling life—in mind, body, and spirit.
