Opening up to the Light

The metaphor of the Lotus flower is a powerful and positive message of hope. The Lotus begins its journey in murky and muddy waters and sometimes, we, too, find ourselves in emotional spaces that feel muddy, confusing and cloudy. In that place, we forget that healing is available to us, like the sun that is always just beyond the surface of the muddy water. At some point, we decide to take a chance, we move forward, trusting that the sun is there. We eventually break through the wet surface and soak in the nourishment and love of the sun. When the light pours into us and shines upon us, we open completely, alive and beautiful. This is the natural sequence of growth and healing!
