Kind Rebirths and the Art of Emotional Rebirth

Life affords us moments when we begin to let go of the past feelings and modes of existence that include pain, fear, distraction, and limitation. As those feelings release, we begin to step into the more authentic versions of ourselves, of who we are really meant to be. The shedding of this old skin is very similar (if not the same) to what we at Kind Rebirths call the art of an emotional rebirth. I like to describe this as an understated and refined process of renewing the heart and soul and bringing it to balance.

Emotional rebirth presents itself as the act of meeting your deepest emotions and understanding of the world as a journey not destined to leave behind the past forgetting what it was. It, like other phases of life, seeks to return you to your natural state of wholeness, of peace and of happiness. You return to the organic sense of presence where you no longer define yourself by differences. You define yourself by your ability to fix bridges, cross them, and then to return to the subtle body of life where you can continue your capacity to grow and to heal.

What Is Emotional Rebirth?

So, what does all this mean? Where am I going with a lot of talk of returning to a place that you can’t see? I don’t want to lead anyone down some trippy rabbit hole. My point is entirely simple. Each and every heartbreak, each and every disappointment, and each and every loss carries a beginning source, a seed, which allows you to restart. Consider making your personal goal to help your seed blossom into new ways of seeing, feeling and loving. This ability is innate in every soul. I just hope I can make you believe it. When a person is authentically able to forgive oneself and continue to practice that forgiveness to others, not only does that flower blossom, it pollenates the souls and well-being of others. Trust in the interconnectedness of all things. Life is bound together by a myriad of these connections and your role is invaluable to this system.

The Kind Rebirths Philosophy

I see Kind Rebirths as an art form. It requires creativity, but more so, it requires patience and courage. Just as any artist creating a sculpture or any artiste painting a portrait, we must learn to monitor and take control of our craftsmanship in order to connect to our inner world with thoughtful and careful intention and grace. That’s why throughout this blog, I hope to continue to reveal the connections of spirituality, of music, of writing, and of art awareness, to sculpt that relationship with who we are in our souls as we transform emotional heaviness into soulful expression.

A kind rebirth means rising with empathy—not just for others, but for yourself. It’s easy for me to sit here and write and tell you how much or how often you [we] should help others. But if we have not found relief for our miseries, conflicts, and afflictions, we do not do others a service. In fact, sometimes we do the opposite. So, perhaps, consider making a choice that could potentially move you through storms inundated with emotional turbulence and allow just some of the lessons you learn along the way to refine you and remind you, rather than define you.

I can tell you how to do this, how to accomplish this task. It’s a personal one for sure. But I am happy to provide some ideas I have learned along the way to help get you there. They’re simple, I promise:

Practices for Your Emotional Rebirth

Reflection – Sit quietly with your emotions and ponder on them without judgment. Ask yourself, “What is this feeling trying to teach me?”

Expression – Journal your thoughts or just write if you are so moved. Paint or draw a picture, play music (jazz music comes highly recommended), or maybe dance your emotions. Art is an expression that articulates what words cannot.

Release – Release what no longer serves your peace.

Connection – Surround yourself with souls who you honor through love and friendship. Be amongst those who love you as much as you love them.

This is not the end — Rebirths are the beginning

Emotional rebirth marks the start of a new chapter. It’s a journey and no one OR no one path is perfect. Use strength, wisdom, and resilience as your bookmarks. Let the art of emotional rebirth remind us that love is the most powerful creative force in existence.

Stay mindful…
