 | The framework within which you are living your lifeSaturday, 14 July 2007 Almost every story contains a single common theme. That of a hero figure embarking on a journey of some kind. This can be seen in mythology, fairy tales, literature, films, and in the story of your own life. The reason for this commonality is because the heroes journey is the pattern of life, regardless of who, where or when in time, the pattern remains the same. The Functional Relaxation System is delivered with this journey in mind, and the journey itself is called The Heroes Journey. This is where we shall be focusing our attention this week, and don't be surprised if you find yourself thinking "how very true" as you read on... The Heroes JourneyThe discovery of this heroic journey came about when scholars studied mythologies and folklore from around the world. This began in the 19th century with Otto Rank (1884-1939) who was the first person to develop a theory of the heroic journey pattern. Other scholars whose work contributed to the formation of a heroic journey included folklorist Lord Raglan and psychologist Carl Jung. But it was Joseph Campbell that became the most renowned researcher of the heroic journey, made most famous through his book called "The Hero with a Thousand Faces". The journey itself reflects the 3 stage pattern of the rite of passage - Separation, Initiation, Return - The first stage involves a separation from the familiar world that the hero has always known.
- In the second stage the hero undergoes all manner of tests and challenges, and in doing so he is transformed.
- In the third stage the hero returns to his ordinary world with a gift within himself that has the potential to transform others.
"A hero ventures forth from the world of common day into a region of supernatural wonder: fabulous forces are there encountered and a decisive victory is won: the hero comes back from this mysterious adventure with the power to bestow boons on his fellow man" Joseph Campbell, The Hero with a Thousand Faces, p.30
Examples of this are...Prometheus who ascended to the heavens, stole fire from the gods, and descended. Jason who sailed through the Clashing Rocks into a sea of marvels, circumvented the dragon that guarded the Golden Fleece, and returned with the fleece and the power to take his rightful place on the thrown. The group of disillusioned Sheffield men whose self-respect and confidence had hit rock bottom, they did the "Full Monty", and as a result found a new way to be men in a new society.
The heroes journey provides a clear map upon which you can make sense of our own life and make decisions. It helps to put every day life events into perspective and to make ‘relaxed' an everyday way of being. The adventure of the hero as defined by Joseph Campbell in his book The Hero With A Thousand Faces, has the following stages: DEPARTURE - The Call to Adventure
- Refusal of the Call
- Supernatural Aid
- The Crossing of the First Threshold
- The Belly of the Whale
INITIATION - The Road of Trials
- The Meeting with the Goddess
- Woman as the Temptress
- Atonement with the Father
- Apotheosis
- The Ultimate Boon
RETURN - Refusal of the Return
- The Magic Flight
- Rescue from Without
- The Crossing of the Return Threshold
- Master of the Two Worlds
- Freedom to Live
DEPARTURE/SEPARATION FROM THE KNOWNThe Call to Adventure This is the first stage of the mythological journey and it signifies that destiny has summoned the hero to begin his adventure. The hero might willingly accept the call, he might find himself swept along into it, or perhaps even dragged into it kicking and screaming. The call itself could come in many forms. For example: - The hero might start getting a sense that there's something lacking in his life or a vision of "something more" available out there
- He may have something precious taken away from him, and decide to try and reclaim it
- Someone close to him may die, and this forces him into a new reality
- He might fall ill, and a close encounter with death might cause the hero to make new choices about his life
- He may feel strongly about a particular cause and choose to fight for it
- The hero might find himself absorbed in a particular hobby or interest which he has a natural proclivity for
- He may sense an imbalance in his life that needs addressing
Refusal of the CallMany a time in actual life, and sometimes in the myths and tales, the hero refuses the call. He is in effect turning his back on himself. This refusal is most often driven by fear of the unknown and the security and comfort of sticking with the familiar. People can be heard using phrases like "Some day I'll...." or "Maybe another day..." in regard to answering the call. Some people never answer the call and as a result they experience life as a succession of problems and hardships. Boredom with life takes hold. To combat this self made misery, some people loose themselves in work and keeping busy generally. Ill-health might also become a feature of their life. Depending on the nature of the hero, refusal may be a single occurrence before crossing the threshold, or it may be that they are reluctant every step of the way, yet somehow forces conspire that cause them each time to continue on. King Minos refused the call and his flowering world became a wasteland of dry stones and his life felt meaningless. Everything that he tried to do throughout his life served only to create new problems for him. Refusal of the call is rejection of having the experience of your life and as a result the emptiness inside grows until eventually a crisis occurs where upon its resolved one way or another. Young Luke Skywalker dreamed of being a fighter pilot for the rebel alliance but year after year he remained on the farm to be of service to his aunt and uncle. Then the storm troopers came to the farm and killed his aunt and uncle. His fate had now been decided.
Supernatural AidThis is the stage at which a mentor or guide arrives on the scene. The ‘supernatural aid' gives the hero just what he needs to enable him to progress further into their adventure. This may be a piece of knowledge or some other tools that will help him safely pass the dragon forces that lay ahead. The helper appears not only to those who have accepted the call, but also to those who have hardened their hearts in the constant hope that perhaps they will wake up and follow their bliss. Examples of the helper are... People often reference the arrival of supernatural aid as synchronicity, good luck or coincidence. However it is described, the universe certainly has a way of opening doors and supporting adventures for those who have decided to answer the call. The Crossing of the First ThresholdThis is the point at which the hero leaves behind the safety and comfort of the familiar, and steps into the unknown. It's the "jumping off point" that lands the hero in a new world filled with dangers and challenges. The non-hero is more than content, and is even proud to conform to the rules of the society to which he identifies. Even though occasionally "breaking free", "escaping from the rat race", "following a dream" is thought about, the pull to conform is greater. The hero however has answered the call and by virtue of doing so he leaves behind life as he knew it. The threshold itself is often guarded by people, beings or situations which are intended to block his passage. This "threshold guardian" has two purposes. To protect the hero from taking the journey before they are ready, and also to point the way once they have met the threshold challenge because beyond the threshold is a new territory through which the hero must find his way. In fairy tales, mythology and modern day scripts for books and movies this new territory often shows up in the form of the desert, jungle, space, deep sea, forest, city or open countryside.
The threshold guardian could use seduction; engage him in battle, or use logic and reasoning to cause him to rethink taking his adventure. The threshold guardian can show up in any number of ways, but always with the same purposes in mind. (Gargoyles are the threshold guardians that are found at the entrance to churches and temples, in part serving as a deterrent to people who are about to enter the zone of magnified power). The Belly of the WhaleThe teeth of the whale are symbolic of threshold guardians, and in passing across the threshold, the hero is metaphorically swallowed into the belly of the whale and dies. The passage of the threshold is a form of self-annihilation; the hero goes inward and a metamorphosis occurs whereby he sheds his old self to be born again. For the hero in everyday life, times will pass where he feels as if he is being torn apart. Everything that had once given him security and purpose is ripped away leaving him naked and vulnerable. Taking the hero's journey is the path unknown and by virtue of that fact life becomes an un-predictable journey with steep hills to climb and pot holes to climb out of. However the belly of the whale and the new path that it opens out to (the heavenly land beyond), are what awaits the hero now that he's crossed the threshold. INITIATIONThe Road of TrialsThe hero's journey takes him deep into the unknown and along the way he faces a series of challenges and temptations which are both emotionally and physically and demanding. The challenges escalate in difficultly and the temptations grow more and more enticing as the journey continues, but along the way the hero is helped by the supernatural aid (mentor/guide) who gives advice or lucky objects to the hero to help him along his way. The challenges are part of the hero's metamorphosis, and in meeting them, he builds the maturity, skills and confidence necessary for his chosen life. It's typical for the challenges and temptations to strike the initiates greatest weaknesses. Perhaps his poorest skill, where his knowledge is most lacking, or his most vulnerable emotions. It's a constant test to bring death to the hero's ego. Along the way there will be rewards, moments of great illumination, and glimpses of the heavenly land beyond, but to get to these, barriers have to be passed again and again. At some point along the road of trials the hero will have to face his greatest challenge. This challenge requires confronting his greatest fears, something that the hero dreads or needs to resolve, and the challenge will be so significant that the hero will be able to do nothing but surrender himself completely to the quest, lose himself in the adventure and become one with it. Either that or he retreats and allows the challenge to beat him, in which case he will become dissatisfied and bitter until hopefully he's ready to begin again. Receiving the GiftThe hero who has traveled along the road of trials has undergone a transformation. He is a different person in terms of how he thinks, how he views his life and possibly how he chooses to live it. This is the hero reborn, and in a spiritual sense, the transformation has brought the hero into harmony with life and the world. The imbalance that sent him on the journey has been corrected. The hero has received the gift of a new level of skill and awareness enabling him to go on to achieve personal greatness and to help others with their journey should he be so inclined. RETURNThe Crossing of the Return ThresholdThe full round of the hero's journey requires that the hero returns back to his ordinary world carrying with him the gift from his adventure to bestow upon others. The intention is that the hero uses what he has learnt and experienced to help others on their journey (Buddha and Jesus are examples of this), but sometimes the hero becomes a hermit, retreating from the world. This is known as the refusal of the return. Life tends to be a succession of journey's all contained within the single journey from birth to death. In a person's lifetime, several calls may be answered, or for others, none at all.
The hero's journey forms the basis for most of the books and movies that become best sellers or box office hits. This is because they resonate with the audience; it's the journey of life that every individual has the potential to experience. I hope that in learning about the Heroes Journey you'll begin to look upon the difficulties and challenges of life as events to make you stronger, rather than things to feel stressed or anxious about. If you approach your journey from the position of structural wellformedness that I wrote about in the last newsletter, you'll be in great shape. So go against the grain, choose a life that works, and embrace the framework through which you are living you life!. 'till next time... Janice p.s.

Did you know that you have life forming myths that have been implanted by peers, teachers, parents, film, music, the media - just about everything around you? Psychologist Carl Jung wrote, "I asked myself, 'What is the myth I am living?' and I found that I did not know. So I took it upon myself to get to know my 'myth', and regarded this as the task of tasks. I simply had to know what unconscious or preconscious myth was forming me." | Articles, News, Events |  Give Yourself An Out!

"Nothing diminishes anxiety faster than action."
Walter Anderson, The Confidence Course, 1997There is a lot of truth in that statement, as anyone who does or has suffered from panic disorder or anxiety will know. But it isn't always so easy to put it into practice. These issues can cause us to feel more stressed by things that other people won't even notice, as a result of that ‘fight or flight' response being turned to the ‘on' position all the time. A friend of mine has struggled with anxiety for over three years now, and it can lead to tiring and stressful days that drain her of energy. An invitation to dinner would be a wonderful event for most people, but while she initially looks forward to it and says yes without even thinking twice, she then starts to panic that she won't be able to go because doing so might trigger a panic attack ...

Sunday, 1 June 2008 IntroductionThis week we had a mother come to us who is quite sick from prolonged stress. It reminded me to be very grateful to an incredible human being and world class trainer Joseph Riggio (www.josephriggio.com and www.mythoself.com ). Joseph had the insight to teach me how to do nothing, and it's turned out to me the most useful thing I could have ever learnt, especially pre-motherhood. This edition of Relaxation Matters is going to explore why becoming masterful in the art of doing nothing is so important to being a mum, and I'm going to spend some time over the next few issues giving exercises that will help you to get good at doing nothing. If you're not a mum, or you can't see how doing nothing could possibly be of any use to you, please read on. The message contained with this newsletter is for everyone. It's what's at the heart of functional relaxation (being relaxed as you go about your day-to-day life) and offers immense stress management benefits ...

Wednesday, 14 May 2008 In the past, Relaxation Matters has been distributed on the 1st and the 15th of each month, but from now on this will change to monthly. This is mostly because motherhood is keeping me real busy, but also because 2008 will see some exciting improvements to The 4th R and I'm taking some time out from the newsletter to implement these changes. What would you like to see included in future issues? If you've got any ideas for things that you'd like to see included in future issues, please drop me an email and let me know (janice@the4thr.co.uk). Thanks, and speak to you again on the 1st June!

by James Park
Chapter 5 The Existential Void:
Discovering Our Bottomless Emptiness Ever more patients complain of what they call an "inner void,"
and that is the reason why I have termed this condition
the "existential vacuum." In contradistinction to the peak-experience

one could conceive of the existential vacuum
in terms of an "abyss-experience." -Victor Frankl The Will to Meaning, p. 83 Read more... | Dehydration Suicide - Is This You?

Friday, 29 February 2008 What a strange thing it is. To be amongst people, and yet to feel lonely. I'm speaking about a very specific kind of loneliness. It's the type that comes about when you're with people who have a different outlook on life than you. Further still, it's the kind of loneliness that's felt when these people try to impose their beliefs on you, and where you say nothing, for what ever reason. If you've attended MythoSelf Process trainings, NLP trainings, or engaged in other forms of personal development, you may have a sense of what I mean. Or perhaps you've always been different to other folk ;-) - in your beliefs and behaviours - and this leaves you feeling lonely at times. This month I'll be exploring what's possibly going on beneath the surface when you're with people yet feeling lonely, and offering some ways to help you feel differently in this situation ...

Monday, 31 December 2007 It would be easy for me to begin this months real life dilemma with an in depth exploration into why hasn't been so easy (for me .. and perhaps for you too) to quickly let go and move on when civilized communication has turned into war. But I won't start there because doing so isn't particularly in keeping with the MythoSelf Process. Plus it would be doing the very thing that actually causes what we want to avoid - i.e. going over what's already happened, processessing, festering, justifying and ultimately dragging things out is not conducive to letting go and moving on quickly. Instead I'm going to be entirely solution focused and I'll get right down to offering some tips and techniques to help you with letting go and moving on quickly ...

Thursday, 13 December 2007 If the promise is out there for a quick fix, I'll bet you that most people will opt for that rather than get involved in something that's going to take a lifetime of effort and commitment.A percentage of those people may however say "Yes - I'm willing to make an effort and do what it takes to have my life work - tell me what I need to do!". Then they discover that the particular "Heroes Path" that I'm suggesting involves stepping right out of their comfort zone, living their life in virgin territory, confronting their greatest fears, letting go of the things they sought security from, leaving behind some of the people they associated with, and holding themselves 100% accountable for their experience, the number of people willing to read on dwindles. Those that do read on though gain comfort from knowing that although they are living their life in "virgin territory" (or are on the threshold of doing so), that territory has in fact been shared by many before them. It's a path that's unique to each individual yet well traveled by others who have left the comfort of their ordinary world to search for something greater in their life. So what is it that triggers this search? What's going on in people's lives to cause them to be looking for answers ... for help? What is it that people are searching for? Continue reading ...

Quite the contrary, I actually did a great deal of traveling, visiting 2 or 3 different countries a year most years. I moved house a couple of times, moved job a couple of times.
