My name is Mairead Hennessy, I live in a small town on the east coast of Ireland with my husband, two ‘children’ (one teenager one twenty something!) and one cat.
The Hero’s Journey for me
Two years ago I was experiencing pain and losing weight. When I eventually went to the doctor to check it out, my blood tests showed there was something wrong. There followed more tests, hospital visits and in the end a diagnosis.
Two days after I received a diagnosis I sat with my Mythoself facilitator and she asked me “What do you want?” Immediately I knew it was Health. It took a little time to determine what that meant to me but in the end my definition included: motivation to be myself, vibrant energy, pain-free body and eyes that shine.
Looking back, that was when things changed. Instead of thinking about my sickness, I thought about my health. The tools I was learning from my Mythoself training helped me to remain present in every moment and deal with what was happening here and now. Surprisingly, from there everything seemed to slot into place to help me, help myself. As if, now that I had a clear direction the path opened up. Lots of lovely things happened in the following weeks but my favourite involved my husband, his mid-life crisis motorbike and a journey to Northern Ireland! But that’s another story!
I’m not saying that one session with my facilitator cured my illness, what I am saying is that I learned to live in a more useful way during my crisis. Also, I learned to keep in mind where I wanted to be going and what I wanted to be doing. (Until then I thought a lot about what I didn’t want and I spent a lot of my time worrying about the bad things that might happen.) And I learned how to help other people do the same thing.
