introduction.Every day we are submerged in the unknown and the only anchor in our day is our intuition, the belief that our Higher Self is guiding us on our path. We hold safety in this knowing. For here we can receive undeniable strength and unshakable confidence to pursue our dreams. But even though we hold our self-love close, there are moments of weaknesses, there are circumstances that break us down. We need to remember that this is all part of the process, our life is forever an inner journey of evolution. We are always being given an invitation to lean into the madness and grow our inner strength.We are like the lotus flower, and the hardships in our life reflect the mud amidst the water. The lotus flower will always emerge through the mud to rise and honor the sun, pure and perfect with not a scratch of dirt on its petals. And this is how we must look at our life - with a great sense of knowing that we, too, will rise. Even though we endure difficult times, these experiences only assist in our journey of personal growth. And so despite the mud that could potentially taint our soul, despite the opposing challenges that can cause great suffering, despite the power of our own mind sometimes tricking us down into misery. We will rise again as the beautiful and pure loving light energy that we are.And still, the lotus flower blooms.
I see you
You. Beautiful, delicate, graceful you.Stop hiding your gifts to the world.Stop thinking that life is going against you.Don't you know how divinely guided you are?How this world is happening for you, not to you?That everything happens for a reason?Yes, it's hard to know why, and it's hard to continue having patience.But stay strong, stay balanced, and level headed.because everything that you want is coming.And all the beauty in the world will be yours, when the alignment is right.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Divided into three chapters, Where the Lotus Blooms explores the natural elements of our world—fire, earth, and water—and unites them with our human experiences. Told from the voice of a first-generation Canadian woman, this poetry collection is inspired by Neha Chand’s life experiences, personal hardships, shedding a light on generational differences and exposing the patriarchy. Through detailed imagery, trauma is brought to life, as is the healing process. Through evocative lyricism and potent symbols, each poem offers a glimpse into Neha’s convictions and shares a piece of her soul. Yet she continuously speaks to our shared experiences and our interconnectedness, encouraging us to bloom just as the lotus does. It is through Neha’s words where our voices are heard and felt: She might not be your heir She may not rule kingdoms but like the earth she bears your violence like the rain she quenches your thirst She won’t carry your name But she will carry your sins She will hide them in her veil And sacrifice them, in her name She will heal your ego as she disguises her wounds She will ignite your passions while you succumb to yours she will raise warriors feed nations birth daughters who will carry her story
