Product reviews for The Hero's Journey (Paperback edition)
Sali Mustafic,NLP Devon, INPLTA Review No35, March 2012
In a nutshell -˜The Hero's Journey' is about responding to your deepest calling and living a meaningful life. This book sets out to help the reader hear and heed that calling; living a life connected and aligned to it.
Stephen Gilligan is one of the foremost practitioners and teachers of Ericksonian hypnotherapy while Robert Dilts is a primary voice in the practice, training and development of NLP. They worked extensively with Bandler and Grinder in the early days of NLP and now collaborate in seminars and workshops all over the world.
The majority of this book is a transcript of one of these seminars and reading it almost creates a sense of being on the journey with them. The journey follows an 8 step map drawn from Joseph Campbell's Hero with a Thousand Faces and the work on the journey is designed to develop the necessary tools and consciousness through the Generative Self approach.
On the journey we engage three aspects of consciousness; cognitive, somatic and field. The Generative Self has the capacity to access what is required in each aspect, expanding the notion of the mind-body connection to a state in which it is possible to learn “to be what is moving through you”.
For NLP practitioners there is much that is recognisable in this process but it is looking at NLP from an expanded perspective. Much of it is working at an energetic level; possibly it is about having all our energies working in alignment, with integrity and authenticity and always in the context of our deepest calling.
This journey is both a challenge and a delight and I recommend it to anyone who wants to expand their practice, their experience or their mind beyond.
