Pura Vida! The Phoenix bird is known to be that creature that supposedly rises from its own ashes. The myth, then, associates this creature with the resilience capacity that many people have; that ability to find solutions to adverse situations that life presents them and, like the Phoenix bird, to be reborn from the ashes that that problem left them. The Phoenix is an iconic fire creature that, as mentioned, is capable of majestically soaring from the ashes of its own destruction. That is why it symbolizes the already described power of resilience to come out of problems strengthened. Few people are currently unaware of the story of the Phoenix. Most have ever heard the myth of that strange bird, made of fire and with a striking figure, which is reborn from its own ashes after having disappeared. Those who do not know the story have surely heard the myth or saying of “he was reborn as the Phoenix”. In any case, it is a known story, but it is also true that little is known about its origin. On the other hand, the myth of the Phoenix is one of the best known in all cultures. Unlike others, which are specific to some nations or religions, this one is almost global. At some point, all the legendary cultures and roots of countries around the planet refer to the Phoenix, even with other names. It was said of him that his tears were healing, that he had great physical endurance, control over fire, and infinite wisdom. It was, in essence, one of the most powerful archetypes for Carl Jung, a renowned psychoanalyst, because his fire contained both creation and destruction, life and death. Likewise, it is interesting to know that early references to their mythology can be found both in Arabic poetry, as in Greco-Roman culture and even in much of the historical legacy of the East. In China, for example, the Phoenix or Feng Huang symbolizes not only the highest virtue, power or prosperity, but also represents yin and yang, that duality that makes up everything in the universe. However, it should be remembered that it is in Ancient Egypt where the first cultural and religious testimonies appear around this figure. It is there that, in turn, the image that is known today about resilience is shaped. Each detail, nuance and symbol that outlines this myth undoubtedly offers a good exercise to reflect on to understand the resilience process and how it should continue after an adverse situation.

There, next to the first rose, a bird was born, with beautiful plumage and an incomparable song, and whose principles made him the only being who did not want to taste the fruits of the Tree. When Adam and Eve were expelled from Paradise, a spark from the fiery sword of a Cherub fell on the nest, and the bird instantly burned. But, from the flames themselves, a new bird emerged, which was the Phoenix, with unmatched plumage, scarlet wings and a golden body. Some fables later place him in Arabia, where he lived near a well of fresh water and bathed every day singing a melody so beautiful that it made the Sun God stop his car to listen to it. Immortality was the prize for his fidelity to the divine precept, along with other qualities such as knowledge, the healing capacity of his tears, or his incredible strength. Throughout...
