The Lotus flower has long been seen as a symbol of Purity, Spiritual Enlightenment and Rebirth.
In Buddhist ideology - the lotus flower is linked to Buddha - Just as the flower emerges from the mud - unaffected by it - the Buddha rises above negative aspects of the world in seek of enlightenment.
In Hinduism - the lotus is associated with Lakshmi and Vishnu. The lotus represents enlightenment, fertility, beauty, prosperity and eternity. The energy centers of the body (Chakra's) are also represented as lotus flowers with differing numbers of petals. By removing energetic blockages and allowing each Chakra to bloom freely we can reach enlightenment.
In Egyptian culture - the lotus was also a powerful symbol of Rebirth and Regeneration. Growing in abundance along the Nile - the flower was also a symbol of fertility and abundance.
The story of the Lotus hold powerful medicine for us all - Its growth and emergence from the mud - can be seen as difficulty and struggle - but the flower blooms effortlessly - regardless of the environment surrounding it.
This is a strong reminder for each individual of their own inner strength and innate beauty - which shines through, even in the toughest of times - if we remember our inner truth, guidance and natural path.
