Here is our Head of the Snake Year Flower Forecast! In this Zoom replay, I give a general overview about the Snake year and share themes that all of us will want to be aware of for entire year, but most specifically from February - July!

A more feminine counterpart to the vivacious Bamboo Shoot essence, the rare Bamboo flower blooms every few decades. Soft and delicate, it teaches us how to release control and deepen into trust with a soft, steady presence. Rather than forcing or manipulating anything, we make an impact with continual gentle effort. Working with the natural energies of wind and water (feng shui), we allow effortless action. We remain nourished in the present moment.

Taylor here! I wanted to share four pioneer species that we have in our collection. May their teachings provide a sense of relief to anyone currently experiencing a massive change in their environments ~ from the fires in LA, to the hurricanes on the East coast … and to anyone experiencing a big life change that is really rocking the boat.

Taylor here ~ I want to share a little bit about the Swift-Acting Protection (Green Tara) practice that we do with you. The first time I experienced the practice was in Kathmandu, Nepal 2 years ago … It was 5 in the morning in a freezing monastery with 30+ Buddhist monks.

Pink Prickly Pear Cactus boasts one of the most intensely bright pink flowers found in the Sonoran desert! Unlike other Opuntia species, it does not have spines on its pads. Also known as the Beavertail Prickly Pear, it magnifies our ability for enjoyment and beauty, even in harsh environments. It amplifies our sense of wonder, curiosity and adventure. It encourages us to keep digging beyond what’s apparent for inherent beauty, profound meaning & flashes of insight.

Fear is an illusion. On the other side of fear is fearlessness, courage, strength, confidence, settledness, groundedness, solidness, imperviousness. As we unravel our fears, things that have ownership or control over us, no longer do. And we become more & more free. Here's to wild freedom, boldness & fearless courageousness!

One of the ways we love to seal up special moments is with a flower offering. 

Resembling a tower of dragon heads, or fighting fish with long tails, this fierce little wildflower cuts through timidity, shyness and holding back. If words have a tendency to get stuck in our throats or bellies, Wild Snapdragon encourages us to be direct, blunt and totally ourselves. We can be joyfully confident and utterly shameless in our bodies and our expression. We can effortlessly voice what we want and what we don’t want.

So thrilled to share with you a project that I’ve been working on for over a year! It’s insanely beautiful … And one of those times in my life – where I’ve jumped into a new era that is totally unexpected and yet – Feels totally spot on! And miraculous. And true. So here it is – We started a subsidiary company in INDIA!✨

Curious about what the LOTUSWEI Team is liking this time of year ~ count on us for holiday gifting inspiration! :)

The brilliant fiery red Ocotillo flower dissolves our tendency to engage in judgment. It helps us perceive the world around us in a fresh way and open to a wider variety of experiences in life. It softens our rigid habits, ‘shoulds’, and believing there’s only one ‘right’ way to do things. When we engage less in criticism, we can live more carefree! We open ourselves to the miraculousness, weirdness & synchronicity of life.

If you’ve been feeling fatigued, irritated … or maybe the monster called rage is bubbling up inside you … take it as a sign that your inner dragon is hot & needs soothing.

The Rain Lily is a Texas wildflower that blooms after it rains, and dies shortly thereafter. An ephemeral flower, it shows us how to take advantage of timing. Even Black Swans, or seemingly negative events, can be steered to benefit ourselves and others – if we grab the reins, and turn it into an opportunity to grow and expand beyond anything we’ve imagined. The Rain Lily dissolves hesitation and mistrust, reveals hidden beauty & inspires us to flourish no matter what.

Ever wonder what REALLY happens when you take flower essences? Listen to what our community has to say ~ they say it best!

A few weeks ago, I posted a video Reel on Instagram that BLEW up. It’s our most liked, watched, saved, commented, shared video of all time ... And, thousands of new people were connected to LOTUSWEI ~ because it sort of went viral.

Wild Geranium dissolves our tendencies to wait for the ‘perfect’ conditions – and just go for it! Because sometimes we fear that we’re not good enough or not ‘ready’. We fear we don’t have the right tools, materials, education or timing. Wild Geranium sweeps all the obstacles and hesitation away and puts us into a state of pure, aligned action. We know that we’re perfect for the job. Nothing is missing. The conditions are right. The timing is right. And we can get to work.

This is one of my favorite podcast interviews of all time. I think Dr. Stanton & I both knew this conversation was going to go deeper & more under the surface than we normally would go on a podcast interview over Zoom. Dr. Stanton has been studying flower essences since he was in his mid-20's ~ so he knows my language.
