The Hero's Journey, What's that?
We start the process of looking at different areas of our life and recognize how we perceive self, others, and life. We start to own our experience and life, thereby taking responsibility for our thoughts, emotions, and actions. By owning our projections, we can examine them for their origins and more so how we hold onto outdated beliefs that no longer work and causes suffering.
