Pink Lotus flower

Pink Lotus is highly regarded in many Buddhist, Hindu, and Egyptian religions for its gentle mind altering effects, and as promoter of prosperity and fertility. Some say pink lily and pink lotus have wonderful anti-inflammatory properties that help the body feel goooooood! WowZah, and it's so so so so pretty! 

Lakshmi is commonly portrayed as a beautiful woman with four arms, standing on a lotus flower. There is usually one, or sometimes two elephants behind her, anointing her with water. Lotus is a being of water and she roots into the mud and blossoms with all her glory. The life cycle of the lotus is genuinely fascinating. The tiny seed grows into a beautiful plant that blooms in the sunlight and then sinks back into the mud at night.
