Join us TONIGHT for a special offering from the Himalayan Sky! ✨

Shanu called me today from India ~ he heard about our Vesak Day Smoke Offering, and wanted to contribute to make it extra special and powerful.

So tonight, Shanu and a group of monks will travel one hour by car to the region’s highest point — over 15,000 feet in the Himalayas — to dedicate this offering to all of us in the LOTUSWEI community and beyond.

Shanu asked me what to tell the monks: What is the purpose of this Smoke Offering?

I asked my spiritual teacher what to share with him, and he offered this:

“During the last teaching he gave, the Buddha held up a flower.

The purpose of this mountain Smoke Offering is for LOTUSWEI, so that everyone realizes the power of flower essences.

Even the Karmapa needs flower essences. Even the Dalai Lama needs flower essences.

Nobody is older than the flowers. Up to this year, people still don’t know the quality of flowers. Only some people realize how powerful it is.

So the purpose of this Smoke Offering is to dedicate it to the world, that the whole world realizes the power of flowers, and the power of flower essences.” ~ Karma Sangye Rapten

We are going to *try* to get Shanu connected on Zoom to share this offering with you. It’s possible the signal may not be strong enough …

But in any case, you are invited!

If you’re free tonight, join us live here: https://ctrk.klclick.com/l/01KSR3P6PBTJQ13YGKE8GJZ60Z_2

Tap into the international community of people who most want to do good on this planet. ❤️

This is *not* flower symbolism or floriography!

This is the true energetic signature of flowers – and how they impact our human energy system.

Every flower carries a unique frequency. Every frequency creates a shift.

When you’re drawn to a flower, it is never random. It’s an intuitive response ~ your system wants to attune to that flower’s energy.

How to do that? By using the flower essence.

Here are 21 flowers & 21 states of being.

Which one is drawing you in?

Carrie-Anne shared something that stayed with us.

Her secret to feeling wild + free on set (and in life) is having a strong foundation beneath her.

She does the daily work. She creates safety for herself through deep care, presence & reciprocity with the people around her. And she stays true to herself.

Real freedom comes from being so supported internally that you can fully let go.

The nervous system softens. The body opens. Creativity flows. You stop gripping life so tightly.

Lean into the Wild Earth Orchid Elixir to release your grip.🏵️

Marine combat veteran Casey West spent years searching for healing through plant medicine journeys after serving two deployments in Afghanistan and a terminal cancer diagnosis.

Casey is one of the first veterans who went through the Warriors of the Unseen Truth project – and ultimately helped design it in the process.

Describing his experience with his flower essence protocol, Casey shares about learning how to "exist in the garden" – a place of beauty, softness & love, instead of the battlefield – something you don’t need to be a soldier to relate to.

It takes a profound level of mental strength, discipline & awareness to serve as a protector of a nation.

On the flip side, there is a different level of strength & capacity required to be vulnerable, to surrender, to open up space to feel emotions within ourselves & others – to allow a visceral experience of unconditional love.

Ultimately, there is nothing more important in life than being there for ourselves and for the ones we love.

We all face difficulty & intensity, whether it’s uncovering traumas or fears, experiencing sickness, aging, death, transitions, heartbreak, grief, loss.

We can’t stop the intensity, but we can face it with courage & softness.

We can look in the eyes of our greatest fears with warrior-like strength and flower-like softness.

We can get real, expand our capacity to hold the messiness of life, and in doing so –

We can more deeply experience the profound beauty that life has to offer.

If you are a Veteran or First Responder – or if you know one who could benefit, head to lotuswei.com/warriors learn more about our Warriors of the Unseen Truth 6-month Flower Essence Program. 🌸

In the world of energy medicine, it is said that if you have a physical imbalance, it has already gone through several of your subtle bodies (mental, emotional, energetic) - without being detected or resolved - and in order to send a real red flag that will get your attention, it will manifest physically.

When you see physical constriction in yourself or others, the root cause is emotional, spiritual or energetic constriction.

This is why flower essences are brilliant: they can prevent imbalances by targeting issues before they manifest in the physical body.

Where are you feeling constricted in your body right now?

And then ask yourself: in what ways am I feeling, or have I felt, emotionally, spiritually or energetically constricted?
