What is a Heroine\u2019s Quest<\/em>?\u00a0<\/strong>-By Alianna J. Maren, Ph.D.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Dorothy, when she went to the Land of Oz, was on a Heroine\u2019s Quest<\/em>. So was Lyra in The Golden Compass<\/em>. So was Sarah in the movie Labyrinth<\/em>. We enter into a Heroine\u2019s Quest<\/em> when we leave the safety and comfort of our mother\u2019s home, and our father\u2019s protection, and venture forth on our own.<\/p>\n

We can begin a Heroine\u2019s Quest<\/em> at any time in our life. Taking on a challenging graduate degree program is a form of Questing<\/em>. So would be joining any branch of the Armed Services, or even joining the Peace Corps. While these typify the Heroic Quests<\/em> of the young woman, we also can start new Quests<\/em> as mature adults. If we leave the safety of an established job to start our own business, we are Questing<\/em>. Even if we begin a new venture within our existing company \u2013 if we introduce a new program or launch a new marketing campaign of our own design, we have some sort of Quest<\/em> happening.<\/p>\n

Unveiling: The inner journey<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n

Questing<\/em><\/strong> is when we leave the known and safe confines of what has defined our lives up until now.<\/strong> This is how we go from being a \u201cPrincess\u201d to being both \u201cKing\u201d and \u201cQueen\u201d in our own lives. And as shown in the recent book, Unveiling: The Inner Journey<\/em><\/strong> <\/a>by Alay\u2019nya (the nom de plume for Alianna Maren), we need both the \u201cKing\u201d or \u201cEmperor\u201d aspect (building structures, having well-defined plans and objectives) and the \u201cQueen\u201d or \u201cEmpress\u201d aspect (nurturing and care-taking) as healthy adults.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

When we begin Questing<\/em>, we don psychological armor and venture forth. We access our inner Warrior <\/em>mode. This is an important and validating stage. However, it is also a transition stage<\/em>. As we progress, we need to learn to relinquish the ego-validation of Questing<\/em> and the thrill of being a Warrior<\/em>, and move on to the more established and grounded roles that come with governing and nurturing our new kingdom.<\/p>\n
