The Phoenix
I have chosen the Phoenix to represent my coaching business as it symbolizes a person who has gone through difficult times, but has resurrected and survived. A person that has risen from the flames as a winner, beating all life challenges and defeating hard times. Rising from the ashes of a past they did not love, and becoming the person they were always meant to be.
The Phoenix represents kindness, goodness, prosperity, and new life. A rising from the ashes into a life filled with possibilities, joy, and abundance.
Many civilizations and religions have connections to the Phoenix. This also symbolizes my own personal belief that we are all connected and my inclusive nature.
According to Jewish legends, the phoenix was the only creature who refrained itself from eating the forbidden fruit. To do so, the bird consumed itself in flames and resurrected from the ashes after 3 days. In this sense, the phoenix represents victory over temptation, as well as sacrifice and renewal.
The Chinese believed that the phoenix represented virtue and grace, and the Chinese Empress was the only person who could wear the symbol of the phoenix.
In Ancient Egypt, the Phoenix was considered to be the symbol of the Sun God Ra.
Together with the rising sun, the phoenix is one of the emblems of the Japanese Empire. They call it Ho-o (Ho-ou), which means the Immortal Bird. For the Japanese, the phoenix is therefore associated with immortality.
Ancient Romans displayed the phoenix symbol on their coins to ensure the longevity of the Roman Empire.
Early Christians considered phoenix as a symbol of resurrection – the phoenix’s dying and rising from the flames after 3 days had many similarities with the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
I hope you will join me in gaining inspiration from the Phoenix and moving forward to becoming who you were always meant to be. For more information on how I can help you do this, please request a free session.
