You the Phoenix

Deep transformation is like a process in which parts of us die for other parts to be born.

Hello Friends,

Today is about transformation, healing and growing into yet a better version of yourself. Deep transformation is like a process in which parts of us die for other parts to be born.
I have tried to capture my thoughts in the poem called: You the Phoenix. You will also see some illustrations.
In Greek mythology, the Phoenix is considered as an immortal bird which every now and again must die and is then reborn from its own ashes.

If you like the poem, it will mean a lot to me if you subscribe, share it, or leave a comment further below.

Quotes:

• “There can be no rebirth without a dark night of the soul. A total annihilation of all that you believed in and thought that you were”
  ― Hazrat Inayat Khan

• “Let me fall if I must fall. The one I am becoming will catch me.”

  ― Baal Shem Tov

• “ Once we accept the fundamental transitory nature of our mind and bodies, then we can develop the confidence to dismantle our most entrenched patterns. Peeling off the outer layers of self is a form of dying but the process becomes much more workable if we can develop confidence in the benefit of rebirth in this lifetime. Each time we engage in recognizing the many deaths in our daily lives, we become more familiar with the big death that will come with the end of our bodies. We can use every big and small experience of letting go to become more comfortable with the final dissolution of the body. Doing this, reduces the fear of future death and therefore transforms the way we live in the present.”
  ― Yongey Mingyur Ringpoche

Questions you may want to think through?

• What are the major transformations you have gone through in your life? What parts of you had to die for other parts of you to be born?

• Are you currently going through a major transformation. Do you resist the process or embrace it? How does it feel?

• How have you observed the process of transformation, of constant birth and death in nature?

I hope you enjoyed these thoughts. It means a lot to me if you take a moment to comment, share or like the post.
