The lotus flower is a beautiful symbol that has a meaning that we can all relate. I was drawn to this symbol when I got into yoga. I didn’t think much of it, but then it just kept showing much more and more. It was most likely there this whole time. I mean I’ve seen it around,just didn’t really pay attention to it. But this was the first time I’ve actually noticed the lotus and I’ve decided to do research and yea, it was something that I can for sure relate. The lotus flower symbolizes rising from a dark place into beauty and rebirth, as this is exactly how a lotus flower grows. It grows directly out of muddy and murky waters and produce beautiful blossoms. As referred to in Buddhist studies, it is a symbol of strength as well as adversity. I believe everyone can relate to the lotus.We all start in murky water trying to find ourselves on who we are as a person. Trying to find strength, truth, as well as accepting ourselves. And if you would like to change, just do it. You’re more than welcome to, as long as your happy and you find yourself.
