I’ve found the below👇🏼 to be a helpful way to frame the stages of inner work. It is, of course, more nuanced and individualised in real life, and we may return to the same stage time again 🌱🌀
1. AWAKENING
Realising patterns, expanding awareness. Can be empowering but uncomfortable - can’t go back to un-seeing but may still use familiar ways of coping. Space where awareness slowly becomes choice ✨
2. DISRUPTION / LIMINAL STAGE
Old identity dissolving, but the new one not fully stabilised. We can sit here for a while - feeling internally different but externally unchanged. Questioning identity or direction, feeling ‘between worlds’ ✨
3. INTEGRATION / EMBODIMENT
Living from the new awareness more consistently. More grounded, insights are not just visited, you start to live from them more naturally - pause before reacting, nervously system has more space, the patterns loses some of the grip. Less over-thinking, less tolerance for dynamics that drain you ✨
4. ALIGNMENT
Life structures reorganise around the authentic self. Your inner identity stabilises, your external life often naturally begins to reflect it - continued clarity about what you want, practical steps when opportunities appear, patience with timing, trusting your inner compass is now reliable ✨
What I practice - it isn’t about fixing. Its NOT about becoming ‘perfect’, just more integrated 🌼
Which phase resonates the most?🤔😍
