Suffering ~ A Path of Awakening
"The book itself has a vibrational quality that will touch the very cells of
your being."
Suffering ~ A Path of Awakening takes you on a 39-year journey in Shellee's life, from
a victim of sexual abuse, drugs, alcohol, and depression, to the doors of death, into 12-step recovery, along many
spiritual paths, and finally to an embodied Awakening in August of 2008 with almost 11 years of sobriety.
'Suffering' is touching more lives all over the world.
Anyone who has longed for more in their life,
has been (or is) lost to their purpose, struggled on different spiritual paths or experienced suffering, abuse or
addiction at any level will find rest and inner arrival. Shellee's journey will move you to the core and inspire you in many ways.
Dive in wholly. The raw truth and vulnerability of her
incredible real-life story is inspiring hope and healing in the hearts of those who read it. A brave and
heart-wrenching adventure, it will forever change the way one relates to suffering and enlightenment.
"I found so much honesty and hope in these pages that I couldn't put the book down... This
is a very well-written book and very easy to read."

Braveheart
By Bonnie MacGillivray-Blout
Bravo for one of the most amazing and
remarkable survival stories. What courage! This book is a true testament to the sheer power, strength and
possibility of the human spirit. Incredible. Beautiful.
I read this book in two days as I
carried Shellee around with me, in my heart, envisioning her every turn as I turned the pages of her book. I
actually felt her heart and her love jump right off the pages. I could not put this book down until it was
finished.
What a miraculous journey. If you are in a place of not thinking that anything is
possible or that we as humans have limits, this book is for you. After this read I am inspired. I know for sure
that not only is anything possible but that I will expect nothing less.
Thank you Shellee Rae
for sharing your story with us.
"A deeply inspiring story."
~ C. Rowland
Hope
By Sandra J. Barry
Wow. I read this book in
one sitting and read some parts out loud to my partner.
I have the pleasure of reaping the benefits of
Shellee's recovery since I've only known her during her recovery years. I've experienced her amazing healing powers
since I've struggled with severe vision problems. I had no idea of the depth of her despair and the journey that
got her to where she is today.
I would want everyone that's struggled in life to read this book and hang on
to live with the hope you will come through it as Shellee has.
"What is
possible, as she describes so beautifully in her book, is profound healing and transformation."

If I Could Change The Past
By Nelda Rae, FL
If you think this is an eye-opening book, you can't imagine the horror
a mother might feel...
Shellee's dad always said I was naive and I was! The last thing - ever - that would
have come to my mind was that my husband could have hurt any of our children in any way. When the truth finally
surfaced, I was in complete disbelief at first, then the horror as the shattering truth at last came out.
"The man is sick, let's see that he gets help. Can you live with that, Shellee? If he never touches you
again?"
Oh, how naive I was! Why I didn't do more for my daughter right then, I don't know. Going back in my
mind to that time, and the frame of mind many folks had, "This is a personal problem, something we can work out,
something we can heal, something no-one will ever have to know about."
Oh, how naive I was! My husband made
so many mistakes (and so did I). When faced with the possibility of everything being revealed (that and his other
failures), he just couldn't live with himself.
It has been so hard for all of the family to be a part of
this story, but we are so blessed that Shellee has overcome the tragedies and risen to a place that's beyond words!
I just can't say enough here.
I love you Shellee and I am so proud of you! Your book is certainly a 'Story
of Inspiration' for anyone to read.

About Tea With Shellee
Tea with Shellee is where we meet in a private session (Skype or phone also available) or gather regularly with others to move towards liberation from the bondage of ego.
Rather than resisting or attempting to kill the ego, this movement is a gentle way of integrating it, allowing its presence to be. While bringing in fresh perspectives on how to do the dance of paradox (Unlimited meets the limited),
we gain a greater sense of what the ego is. Instead of continued inner battles, this allowing, or resting with "what is," creates an opening to experience the Truth of Who you are.
I'd love to share more about this with you. Let's have tea.
Many Blessings,
Shellee

Powerful and Honest
By Sean Arnold
Reading Shellee's book was a powerful
experience for me. Her honesty and willingness to share so many details of the intensity of suffering she
experienced earlier in her life is very admirable, as is her willingness to share so many intimate details of her
process of healing and awakening after.
I hope her book reaches many people who have
suffered, or are currently suffering, in a similarly intense way. I believe her book has the potential to offer
such people hope and an example of, and, therefore, a possible vision for, what is possible.
And what is possible, as she describes so beautifully in her book, is profound healing and
transformation. It isn't an easy journey, certainly, but it is possible, and her book is a powerful testament to
that truth. So thank you, Shellee, for sharing your being, your experience, and your truth with the world. May your
words reach and touch many people!
"...a most wonderful, amazing, heart-
wrenching and hopeful book..."

and

A True Sharing...
A
Journey with and to the Heart
By M. Christian
Shellee's courage and determination to continue, to live and heal is awesome. The expressions of
her silent inner voice, the longings and hunger to find her real home speak deeply to the heart. The healings,
openings, discoveries and rememberings of love are what our hearts are yearning for. For those currently suffering,
to whatever extent, Shellee's story shows that real peace and joy is possible for anyone. Thank you Shellee.
Enjoy, it's a good read.
"It's a compelling story because she starts out with a
life that's much worse than most people's, and ends up with an inner life that's much better than most people's. A
lot better."
~ Eli Dumitru, OR
The book has provided the very answers to questions I have been asking for the past year...
I intend to
share your book with everyone, especially women, in our local SLAA (Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous) 12 Step
rooms...
The beauty of it is that it is plain, simple, and down to earth. It created a huge shift for
me...
There was something going on beyond the text on the pages. That is the only way I can describe
it...
I now know where I fit in. Where Home is.
Take Care and Thank You SO Much for the courage,
tenacity, and the love to live the life you lived, and then be willing to put it out there. It is healing others as
we speak.
Blessings, Greg

Profound Recovery and Healing

Carter
Shellee Rae's book, Suffering ~ A Path of Awakening is powerful healing
and enforces how recovery can take place. Wow, I sure did identify with Shellee! Her drinking and drugging and her
search for more... Shellee has been through absolute torture and now she is a healer.
She is amazing!!! She
has passed on recovery and healing to so many people. I have personally benefited from Shellee's Reiki treatments,
with tremendous pain in my heart, and Shellee's healing Reiki has helped me through my journey of recovery and
healing!
Thank you, Shellee, for putting your truth out there to help others!!!!!

BOOK REVIEW
"Suffering ~ A Path of Awakening:
A Powerful Book of Hope and
Liberation by Shellee Rae"
By Saniel Bonder
Founder of Waking Down in Mutuality, author of "Healing the Spirit Matter Split" and "Great Relief"
The subtitle of Shellee Rae's deceptively short, plain-talking memoir gives a vroom! that hints at the horsepower under its storytelling hood: "Dissolving the Pain of Incest, Abuse, Addiction and Depression."
 That's quite a claim. To find out how it actually happened for her, you've got to read this astounding little book.
Published just this May, Shellee's book already is developing a life of its own. The glowing, grateful reviews on Amazon.com keep multiplying -- including one from her own mother, whose troubles are part of the true, unflinching story.
I'd like to see this book go as far as it can in the world -- lifting great numbers of suffering people into true hope and real willingness to heal, grow, and maybe even awaken.
Brava, Shellee Rae! Congratulations, and may this book enjoy amazing success and open the hearts and change the lives of countless grateful readers!
This now world-wide and inspiring little book is for anyone who has longed for more in their life, has been (or is) lost to their purpose, struggled on different spiritual paths or experienced suffering, abuse or addiction at any level.
