Close your eyes,
Get comfortable,
And take a deep,
Slow breath in.
Now exhale fully,
Completely,
With intention.
Let your shoulders drop,
Let your belly relax,
Let the breath begin to carry you.
You are safe here,
You are held,
And you are ready.
Ready to let go of what no longer serves,
Ready to rise.
Breathe in again,
Slowly,
And this time imagine the breath stoking a fire inside you.
Not a wild raging fire,
But a steady,
Warm glow.
This fire lives in your core,
In your heart,
In your soul.
It's the part of you that never goes out,
Even when everything feels like it's falling apart.
Even when you've doubted,
Even when you've been brought to your knees,
Even when you didn't know how you'd make it through.
The fire never left you,
It was just waiting.
Waiting for this moment,
The moment you'd remember who you were.
You are the phoenix,
Born for transformation,
Built for rebirth,
Wired for rising.
Every challenge,
Every heartbreak,
Every loss has only strengthened the wings you're about to spread.
So now,
Gently breathe into the ashes,
The old versions of you,
The outdated stories,
The pieces you've outgrown.
Let them fall away,
Let them crumble,
With love,
With reverence,
With release.
Say silently or aloud,
I release what no longer is mine to carry.
I trust the fire,
I trust my rise.
Now feel the inner flame begin to burn brighter,
Expanding through your chest,
Radiating through your arms and hands,
Glowing in your belly,
Down your legs,
Through your feet.
This is your power,
This is your becoming,
This is your return.
You are not who you used to be,
And that is something to celebrate.
You've burned away what's false,
And what remains is truth,
What remains is you.
The real you,
The strong you,
The free you.
You are a phoenix rising from the smoke of your own story,
With wings made of lessons and a heart made of light.
So now,
Feel yourself lift,
Not in a rush,
Not with force,
But with certainty,
With grace,
With quiet power.
Visualize your wings unfolding,
Golden,
Glowing,
Unstoppable,
And say,
I am rising,
I am powerful,
I am the fire,
And I am the flight.
Every cell of your body knows the truth.
You were never broken,
You were becoming,
And now you are ready.
Ready to rise into life that reflects your power.
A path that honors your soul,
A rhythm that feels like peace.
So take one more breath,
And whisper softly to yourself,
I am not who I was,
I am who I choose to be.
I am the phoenix,
And I rise with love.
Let that settle into your bones,
Let it anchor into your nervous system,
And let it carry you forward with courage,
With softness,
And with fire.
You are the phoenix,
And you are just getting started.
