Welcome to Lotus Life
Welcome to the Lotus Life experience. As you may know my name is Ananda Lo, a writer, yogini, and wellness advocate. Thank you for taking the time to engage with this space. I’ve designed this site to be a catalyst for divine and high quality inspiration and creativity that takes the holistic health of humanity to a new level. When I say health, I’m addressing our physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, and relational well-being. And I address this concept through my writing of scripts, poetry and non-fiction. If you are interested in learning about my services, you can check out my creative services and wellness services. But I really want this to be a place of discussion about the true realities of this life and many of the changes happening in this society.
Originally, I promoted my wellness expertise and my writing separately! I’m a Gemini, so it’s easy for to compartmentalize. But as soon as I realized that the state of our art had a direct connection with the state of our society, I knew that I had to reshape the way I created my stories. My story really begins on January 1, 2012, when I took my first yoga class, a Kundalini Yoga class. And between the breathing, the fire, and the yoni exercises, my life was forever impacted. From that moment on, I began creating images of the world that I desired to see, not the repetition of doom, gloom, and intriguing destruction, which have desensitized many Americans and Westerners.
We’ve been watching and listening too death, bad sex, drugs and violence on repeat and now it has regurgitated in our society’s face. Worse, are the ailments that are showing up. Many have decided to use escapist distractions from one of the key components to life: HEALTH! Most people, unfortunately, are not well. This does not have to be the case, but many people suffer from physical, mental, or emotional ailments of some type. As one of the most technologically advanced societies in recent human history, why does it seem as if we suffer now more than ever before.
America, one of the world’s richest countries leads the world in rates of cancer, diabetes, heart diseases, and now the coronavirus. While most people have access to the world at their finger tips, we are often distracted by the material side of life. While, I love nice things and experiences, those THINGS can not save a dying body or a decaying soul. Living a life of wellness is the way of the future. And the illness we see is resistance to this new way of being. I feel so grateful to have been living a natural lifestyle for nearly a decade. I am even more excited to offer my creative writing services for people and institutions that are committed to promoting true wellness on the planet.
As I launch Lotus Life, we approach the FALL equinox, which signifies the end of summer and the beginning of FALL. During these transition days, there is a equal balance of light and darkness, sun and moon. This provides a beautiful opportunity to cleanse the body, reset the system, and prepare for the coming of winter. Like the trees will be shedding old dead leaves, it is vital for us to release parts of ourselves that are no longer serving us.
To make room for this sacred time, we will be engaging in a collective fast! This will be a period of detoxification, cleansing and revitalization through the sacred medicine of vegetables, fruit, herbs, and water. Even if you can not join this particular fast, I would urge you to detox the body to the best of your ability. I’ll discuss more about the fall equinox and the power of detoxification in my next blog. Until then, I wish you abundant creativity and wellness.
