| Earth Magic Oracle Cards - Lotus Flower - Unfoldment. |
“The lotus flower sits upon one of its leaves, having risen to the surface as the sun-held in the hand of God-invites it upward to the light. This unique plant is rooted in the mud and muck at the bottom of a body of water, its stem reaching up to the surface, where the leaves rest quietly. At night the flower closes and sinks below the surface, only to rise with the daylight and once again gradually unfold its petals, its stem extending above the waterline three feet or more.

| Lotus Flower |
What we learn from this amazing plant is how our own spiritual path unfolds and opens to the light, then at times gently folds in on itself for a proper rest when the daylight fades. This period is just as necessary as the growth, for it allows the plant to integrate what it has gained in nourishment during the day. It’s also just as important that it is rooted, and it is yet another miracle of Nature that something so exquisitely beautiful is formed from the mud and silt at the water’s bottom.
Your spiritual unfoldment is occurring at all times whether or not you are aware of it. It is inevitable as long as you put your trust in the hands of the Creator, the One who holds the light. Like the lotus, your soul is always reaching for the light to fulfil its karmic destiny, but even in that process there are periods of darkness and times to rest. It is a natural cycle, one that cannot truly be coerced or halted. It has an innate rhythm of its own, one that is unique to the Being that is you.
You do not need to strive or be driven by spiritual ambition. it does no good to try to force growth upon yourself – or others, for that matter. Allowing is the key here. Allow the place in you that naturally wants to follow the light to do so while recognising that even when you have complete faith, you will face challenges and, occasionally, suffering. Your steady faith and love will guide you on your journey of returning to the light.”
The lotus flower is rooted in the mud at the bottom of the water with its flower resting on one of its leaves. When the sun goes down the flower closes and sinks below the surface. As the sun rises again it rises to the surface and gently unfolds its petals again. This plant indicates your own spiritual path. Sometimes the path unfolds and opens to the light and sometimes it folds up quietly allowing you to integrate and take on board what you have learnt. Your knowledge and information is securely rooted in the mud and yet from there grows the most exquisite bloom. Your spiritual growth occurs all the time whether you are aware of it or not. Just like the lotus flower your soul reaches for the light to complete its karmic cycle going through the natural cycle of growth periods and rest.
