My chapter is called The Hero’s Journey inspired by the epochal work of Joseph Campbell and the story I share includes some of my most intimate experiences from being diagnosed in the western world, (at age 19), with bipolar disorder and persevering to see my self transforming the perceived shameful and debilitating experiences associated with a mental illness diagnosis into a blessing. The ongoing process of reaching turning-points of acceptance, grace and moving ahead even further with my Hero’s Journey to serve others while I continue exploring, integrating and expanding my own spiritual and physical experiences here on Planet Earth;

“The way to find out about your happiness is to keep your mind on those moments when you really are happy — not excited, not just thrilled, but deeply happy. This requires a little bit of self-analysis. What is it that makes you happy? Stay with it, no matter what people tell you. This is what I call, ‘following your bliss.’ if you do follow your bliss, you put yourself on a kind of track that has been there all the while, waiting for you. And the life that you ought to be living, is the one you are living. Wherever you are, if you are following your bliss, you are enjoying that refreshment, that life within you, all the time. When you can see that, you begin to meet people who are in the field of your bliss, and they open doors for you. I say, follow your bliss and don’t be afraid, and doors will open where you didn’t know they were going to be.”
Joseph Campbell
