Mascha, so amazing. Watching those go by cleared my aura. So much love and light streaming out of each one. (I commented first after the roses. The two were different, but I can't say how yet. Maybe the lotuses opened up the higher chakras more, and the roses opened up the heart more, but they all opened up the heart.)

Thanks, bros. How sweet  :)

You know, Sufis sometimes call the source of  their being “the rose of my heart”. That is so evocative for me.

Hindus and Buddhists call the crown chakra the thousand petaled lotus. These images are probably deeply imbedded in the ancient grooves of collective consciousness. So, when we're awakening - which I contend is what is happening to all of us here - we may tap into these ancient symbolic ways of expressing what is experienced by so many others before us on the way.

Rose = love        Lotus = being and purity

Something like that…

This is from the Yoga of Herbs:

Lotus seeds and lotus root are tonic and rejuvenating foods… . The lotus is sacred to Laksmi, the goddess of prosperity, and brings material and spiritual abundance. It calms the mind and subdues restless thoughts and dreams. Lotus seeds help open the heart center; lotus root, the root center. The seeds are good for devotion and aspiration.”

So I wonder if even the sight of them can have certain effects on a person like that, a certain prabhava.
