Stage 1- the Beginning stage-this first level of healing
is where you start your journey to reuniting with the
true self. It is the introduction to the true you. Here
you begin the journey of finding the parts that begin
to rebuild you. Weather those parts are broken, rusty,
misplaced, lost, or no matter what, because its okay.
Remember you are just beginning to find your self.
Stage 2- the belonging stage- The word says it all.
You belong, no matter how you arrive. Everything
about you is okay and can be used. Simply know that
you belong in this place called, belonging. We are
glad you are here. We are grateful and appreciate
your existence. Thank you for being and wanting to
heal.
Stage 3- the healing stage- You began this
journey and found that you belong to life,
now you can accept that it is okay to heal.
You are at a place of safety where healing is
allowed and shame is no more. You are now
gaining the strength to begin that search.
Stage 4- the finding stage- Your healing has begun
and the search is on to find those gifts, those tools,
those amazing talents that were abandoned or taken
from you. Now your journey has brought you to a
place of finding deeper meaning and increased
wisdom to know the difference. It is real, not a
fantasy or an illusion. Healing that has led to a new
discovery which you will find as you continue to
travel deeper into the unknown.
Stage 5- the exploring stage- You are now given the title of, “The
great explorer.” You have learned the skills to clean away the
dust, dirt, trash, rocks, and camouflage that once caused your to
hide, steal, or do many things that caused you harm.
As an explorer you have gained the stages that has allowed you
to begin each day full of life. Arrived at a place where you
know, “I truly do belong.” This has given you the okay to heal
and say those words, “I am no longer afraid of you!” And finally
the courage to begin to find the skills that give you the ability to
go deeper, just like the treasure hunter looking for that long lost
treasure of adventure. You are now at a place in your life where
you are willing to take that extra risk and use your unique gifts.
Stage 6- the creating stage- Wow, you have found your
gifts and ready to use them as it was intended the day
you were conceived. Your gifts are those tools that
help you take those journeys and help you stay on the
right path. It is like a salvation experience, a
confession to God or those whom you trust. Time to get
reacquainted with your inner self, your inner child
and ready to use those gifts. Maybe not quite ready to
share with others, yet truly are at a place where you
can now accept the existence of this part of your being.
Those gifts taken away through the insensitivity of
others, or by disease, or through other types of trauma.
Weather your pain was caused by others, or through
birth, the results can still be the same. You have the
right to find and use those gifts through creativity.
Everyone has some form of creativity, they simply
need to be okay to begin, belong, heal, find and
explore their true selves in order to be creative.
Stage 7- the learning stage- Here you now learn more
about who you are and what your true purpose is for
your life. Not quite ready to show others, yet you can
now see that you are getting closer to the finish line.
Here you are learning the necessary strategies that
prevent you from being harmed again in the same
ways you were once harmed. Learning how to be safe,
stop hiding and accept that you have just as much of
a right to living in this world as anyone else. You
have the right to learn and stretch your mind to the
limits, because you have learned how to clean out all
of the garbage in your life, left behind by the
selfishness of others. You are now learning how to
recycle those broken, rusty, loose parts that were once
seen as helpless, worthless, hopeless pieces of junk.
Stage 8 – the joining stage- You are now ready to share
with others the lesions you have learned, the skills you
have gained, the techniques of life and the healing you
have gained through this journey, and the many more
journeys to come your way. You allow healthy others to be
a part of your new healthy life. You feel complete, both
emotionally, physically and spiritually. You life one day
at a time, one moment at a time, one experience at a time
and you appreciate what life has to give. Now in a state of
spiritual awakening, you are ready to give back to society
and help others find the same freedom. You show
someone else how it all begins.
Stage 9- the maintaining stage- every day
you do it all over again, yet this time you
have complete confidence, courage, selfworth, identity and spiritual awareness to
help you keep what you have found. You
continue to do those things that keep this
health and healing alive and strong. You do
whatever it takes to stay well. And you
continue to appreciate every moment and
every opportunity to live a healthy and
productive life on planet earth.
