Rising above the water’s surface with roots firmly entrenched in the mud of the river, the Lotus highlights the energy of purity, overcoming adversity, and rebirth. By growing and flourishing in seemingly harsh water conditions, this flower exudes the energy of overcoming adversity and hardship through consistent growth.
In growing in such a way, it also retreats at night to be below the surface of the water only to emerge in the dawn signifying rebirth and the energy of enlightenment. Along with this energy, the Lotus brings forth a concept regarding purity as such a flower is able to exist with roots in deep mud yet shine bright upon the surface of the water with a vibrant bloom.
