Lotus
The lotus flower in silver bracelets, necklaces and earrings
The lotus flower that grows towards the light and draws its nourishment from the dy and swamp is a symbol of wisdom and development. The lotus flower is a symbol of purity and spiritual power in both the Buddhist and Hindu religions, as well as the culture of the pharaohs in ancient Egypt. The lotus flower has come to symbolize rebirth and thus the physical or material reality. The mantra Om Mani Padme Aum "The jewel in the Lotus", is a tribute to the consciousness within us, the jewel, the diamond within us. The lotus is then a symbol of our physical nature.
Therefore, the lotus flower is an obvious symbol of Yoga. Yoga works with both the spiritual and the physical aspect of us.
