LOTUS FLOWER ~ Unfoldment
...The lotus flower's roots grow in muddy water; still it rises above the mud to bloom. Along with purity and enlightenment, a lotus flower also represents faith in ourself and in Spirit...
This accurately depicts the current state that many are experiencing. Many have been put through the ringer. Yet despite the mud and the sludge, our Shadow aspects have surfaced; shining a light on the things that we often do our best to keep hidden. But how can we develop and flourish, psychologically, physically, emotionally and spiritually if we do not acknowledge these hidden aspects of our Self? Do not feel shame, fear or guilt as you become aware of, and acquainted with these parts of your Self - do not attach emotions to what surfaces for you. Acknowledge what surfaces, thank it, and release any past emotional ties to it, it is a part of you so embrace its presence and allow it to teach and guide you as you move forward on your journey. In order to be whole we must embrace all aspects of our Self.
The lotus flower teaches that even after we’ve endured the unimaginable, there is still the potential and every possibility that from that, something as beautiful, magnificent and as graceful as this majestic flower will bloom. No matter what we go through and no matter who we are, there is a part of us that seeks the Light and once we find it, we do all that we can, consciously or subconsciously, to ensure that we are bathed in its glory. Once we bask in that Light, we know that we will never be the same.
This is what this month will be like for us...we are slowly but surely shifting our awareness, our consciousness to something that is far greater than we are. We are beginning to realise the power that lies within us and what we are capable of once we align to that Higher Power, to Source, the Creator, whichever term you use to describe It; no matter how you experience It, aligning to this can and will bring so much more than you ever thought possible.
We are on the verge of releasing the old, out-dated ways of living and aligning to a simpler, more empowered version of our Self. There is no doubt that this is what’s occurring, the only question is how open are you to embracing the potential for everything that these changes bring?
This month, allow your heart to guide you; no drastic changes are needed at this time - everything that needs to be occurring already is whether you can sense it or not. All you are asked to do is to take small steps towards whatever it is that your heart is guiding you towards and trust that everything is being revealed at exactly the right moment.
As I write this I sense the energies building and shifting within my own heart - there is so much that’s on its way; there is so much potential for those who are ready and/or willing to step up. Faith requires trust in the unseen, so begin taking the steps you’re being guided to take and watch the Universe/Spirit meet you halfway - all Spirit needs is proof of your intentions and commitment. Words and empty promises will no longer cut it - action is what brings transformation. So, if you’re ready, begin formulating a plan, begin releasing what has outlived its purpose and make way for the new.
I wish I could find the words to express just how okay everything is going to be. Be present in your unfoldment, lovelies - enjoy every moment of it, for you will never be the same...
May your month be filled with abundant amounts love, blessings and grace,
<3 Vanda xx
