October Blog | The 12 Stage of Healing – Stage 10 | Dr. Codi Osborne, Innately Yours Chiropractic Studio

After discovering the light within us in Stage Nine, something powerful happens, we begin to rise. Not in the way we may have tried to force before, but with clarity, alignment, and grace. We step into a new version of ourselves, guided by internal energy instead of external pressure.

This is Stage Ten: Ascent, the stage where you begin to live from your essence. Where your healing isn’t just something you “work on”… it’s something you radiate.

You’re not escaping your past. You’re transcending it.

☀️ The Feeling of Ascent

Stage Ten feels like:

• Deep inspiration, without the burnout
• A renewed sense of purpose
• A quiet confidence that doesn’t need to prove anything
• A spine that moves with ease and power

It’s not about being “done” with healing. It’s about being supported from within. The nervous system is no longer reacting, it’s expressing.

You’re living from your core, and others around you feel it.

💬 My Experience With Stage Ten

When I fully embraced NetworkSpinal, not just as a chiropractor, but as a person, it changed the way I showed up in the world. I began moving from intuition, not fear. From clarity, not reaction. From embodiment, not performance.

That’s what Stage Ten feels like. It’s the knowing: “I’m here to be fully me, and I trust my body to help guide the way.”

It doesn’t mean life is perfect, it means you’re resourced, grounded, and no longer easily thrown off center.

🧠 What Happens in the Nervous System

In Stage Ten, the spinal wave becomes effortless and self-sustaining. The nervous system:

• Organizes around growth and contribution
• Automatically re-centers under stress
• Enhances energy flow throughout the body and mind

People in this stage often report increased creativity, connection, and emotional resilience.

🛠️ Supporting Stage Ten

To stay rooted and rise with intention, try:

• Journaling Prompt: “What part of me is rising right now?” or “How am I being called to show up differently?”
• Movement Practice: Expressive dance, posture work, or intentional stretching—let your spine lead.
• Daily Anchor: Begin the day with one word or intention that feels aligned with who you’re becoming.

Stage Ten is not a high, it’s a homecoming. Your energy, your breath, your body, they all start to work with you, not against you.
