Lunar Musings: Wellness Wednesday
THE LOVE LOTUS
Love is Everything
Love is not just a feeling.. it’s the thread that weaves through all of life. It is the tapestry that connects us to the universe. It is God. It’s in every breath, every heartbeat, every soul connection. Love is the reason we chose to come into these bodies. To feel. To learn. To grow. To remember.
In this week’s Wellness Wednesday, we explored the concept of love not just as something we give or receive, but as something we are.
We gather in person each week for Wellness Wednesday through a corporate wellness program, creating space for reflection, breath, and connection. Here’s what we did this week:
The Lotus as a Symbol of Love
In meditation, I kept seeing a lotus flower- blooming, unfolding, opening and closing with the seasons of life. And I realized: love is like that. A lotus rooted in the earth, reaching for the light.
Each petal represents a piece of our journey: people we've loved, places we've been, memories that softened us, lessons that cracked us open. And at the center of the flower is something that never changes: a deep, steady presence. A truth.. that love is always at the center.
Even when the petals close in winter, even when we feel lost or disconnected.. the center remains.
The Love Lotus Practice
This week in circle, we worked with a special worksheet I created, the Love Lotus.
Each petal was an invitation to reflect:
A person I love
A place that has filled me with love
A moment I felt deeply connected
A lesson that helped open my heart
A quality I love about myself
A way I show love to others
A dream I love nurturing
A memory that softened me
Something about the Earth I love
A prayer or affirmation of love
And in the center, we wrote what remains when all else fades.
You can download the worksheet below and try this practice at home.
Journal Prompts
What does love mean to me right now?
Where in my body do I feel love?
What petals of my life have shaped my heart?
What helps me return to love when I feel far away from it?
A Reminder You are love. Not because of what you give or what you do .. but because of who you are.
Even in the seasons where your petals feel closed, the light still lives inside you.
See you next Wednesday.
Love,
