Rising Phoenix: Rebirth of My Soul Journey 2

Continue... from Rising Phoenix: The Rebirth of My Soul Journey 1 (Please see link below)


Little by little, I mustered up any energy I had and started to move forward. In the meantime, personally and professionally, many angels on earth came forward to assist me and support me through this difficult time with so much love, practical advice and encouragement. In the process of receiving the loving grace from others, I came to learn the most important lesson on self-love. There is an old saying “If you cannot love yourself, you cannot love anyone else…” How true! The most important relationship we all should have is the loving relationship with ourselves.

With courage and hope, but still some reservation, I fastened my seatbelt and buckled myself into the new year. My life has never been the same…

I decided to pursuit my passion in understanding the mind and the soul. Along with all the reading, meditation, hypnosis and coaching, amazing personal transformation started to take place. For once in my life, I am finally ready! I am ready and willing to be honest with myself and with God, the creative Universe. I am open and honest to examine my challenges courageously, and I am also willing to love myself authentically. Like a sponge, I just want to soak up anything I could to transform my life.

Like the rising phoenix, I lifted up my head. After going through the flames of life, I arose to what I now know as the “Life”! The “Life” is not like anything I had experienced before. The "Life" is this wonderful, happy, loving and authentic life that I now know possible. Someone once said "... it is until we decide that we've suffered enough, true transformation and happiness come..."

For a long time, I used the images of caterpillars and butterflies to symbolize transformation. It was not until my wise teacher, Patrick, mentioned to me one day of the symbolic image of the rising phoenix. Yes, I was the phoenix, blessed with grace and strength rising from the ashes. I now know that I had to go through the fire of life in order to transform into a new Life that I never thought possible. All that I needed to let go had turned into the ashes by the flames of life... they are the ashes of pain, the ashes of fears and the ashes of all the limited beliefs and thoughts. As the phoenix was slowly rising and spreading the wing, a new life was emerging…

**With special thanks to many wonderful souls on earth who have been there for me during my difficult times. I am forever grateful for your love and encouragement personally and professionally. You have ALL made my journey of rebirth possible. I love you. ~ Cara
