The focus is on our child within.Solitude is decidedly that context in which we come to realise our true self.

Every movement of perception, from our vantage point, starts with seeing, our capacity to view ourselves the way our child within views us.

 Entailed in this is our resolve to squarely face our core identity buried deep inside us. Solitude is decidedly that context in which we come to realise our true self. 'It is the place where we take a few moments in quiet before our child within to see who we are in relationship to our child and to each other'

 The focus is on our child within. Often in life we get preoccupied with doing and having while conveniently neglecting the primacy of our being within. The place of solitude is where 'we discover that being is more important than having, that we are worth more than the result of our efforts – that our worth is not the same as our usefulness' . 

In our child's eyes, we are eternally loved whether we are productive or not. Never is performance the measure of our value. From the world's perspective, of course, performance is what counts – and we can easily succumb to that belief.  'When we enter into solitude we will often hear these two voices – the voice of the world and the voice of our child – pulling us in two contrary directions. But if we keep returning faithfully to the place of solitude, the voice of our child will gradually become stronger'

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. #childwithin#10stages
