Lotus Symbolism
The lotus flower is a symbol of resilience, growth, and transformation. Rooted in mud, it grows towards the light with an unbreaking stem. The lotus is a reminder that healing is possible, and every individual has the capacity to move toward greater wellness, balance, and self-discovery.
