The key is the path of the child within.

The biggest misunderstanding that ever existed is that there was something inside of us that we needed to avoid, run away from, an emptiness that we needed to fill up with something outside of us. And so we created pain-killers. They came in all different forms–pills, alcohol, shopping, relationships, food, work, television, gossip, distractions, even holding onto a diagnosis and letting it be our identity–addictions and codependencies on different levels that kept us running from the pain of believing in our own fears.

Our drug of choice was relationships and we ran from our fears and let them control us by finding false comfort and security in our relationships–our perceived lack within fuelled the need for this love outside of us and made us believe we were only whole and complete when a relationship was there.

Whatever we are using, holding onto tightly, and the most afraid to let go of, is our pain-killing dissociations and this is our self-imposed prison, which means we have the key to unlock and free ourselves in using the ten stages.

The truth shall set you free. The truth is recovery. The key is the path of the child within. It’s the courageous path that we step onto when we finally throw up our hands and say we’ve had enough and we know there’s a better way–or maybe we hit our knees and are finally ready to listen. The process of self-awakening to the power of the child within is to begin to look at our pain and fears in the face of our child so that you can finally release them rather than be controlled by them. Forgiveness, letting go, and opening our heart encourages contact with our child.

The limiting pattern of our childhood, trigger, or codependency in our daily lives is in response to pain from a past experience that when left unprocessed by our childhood comes into our present lives and is projected into our future. In every moment we feel triggered we can break our heart open more and recover ourselves more or we can close our hearts and put walls up of blame, judgment, shame and allow the outside circumstance to control how we feel and who we will be in this our world.

We begin to clear our emotional patterns by allowing the buried feelings of childhood to reemerge into our consciousness to release and we move through them into the truth–which is our awakening into adulthood. On the other side of childhood pain is freedom.

Through the process of allowing pain and emotions to come to the surface, not only does everything come up to release but our soul desires come up as well. And this is our push to really go forward. We find out what our child within is really here for.

As we dissolve pain, hurt and fears, this the stages process allows us to step into being the adult that we are. As we clear these blocks to who we really are, we experience a new way of being, a lightness, and aliveness. From this new place of freedom from fear, we begin the co-creative dance with the child within. We step into the flow of life with our inner intuitive guide, the voice of intuition and knowing, showing us exactly where to go. We are no longer blocked from anything we desire, the belief in scarcity and lack is a distant memory, and through this radical internal shift we allow the child within to flow its abundance to us, allowing us to serve on a higher level, being a beacon of light for those who are beginning their journey.



The Ten Stages is a studied recovery course. It is a source of reconnection a method of unlearning and a reintroduction to our child within which leads us back to our one true intuitive voice.We start to learn and come out of our protective dysfunctional shell and reclaim our lives.
