According to Osho, the flowering is an inner event: when a center fully opens, it feels like a bud becoming a flower. Since this cannot be directly displayed, sages used a symbol—the lotus in bloom. To signify the first stirrings of the chakras, they portrayed it as an upside‑down, hanging lotus, an emblem translating subtle awakening into visible form.
We show inner spiritual blooming by picturing a lotus flower—often upside down—to represent the chakras waking up.
