Lotuses symbolize the seven spiritual energy centers or chakras
Chakras
Chakras are spiritual energy vortexes located along the spinal column, symbolized by seven lotus blossoms with varying numbers of petals, and they are likened to energy points in the aura associated with nerve ganglia along the spine. These chakras are used as a spiritual model representing physical locations within the human body, each corresponding to a symbolic meaning, and this model is extended to represent the churches as spiritual energy centers. The seven chakras are interconnected, each symbolizing different aspects of the human personality, ranging from physical and emotional to spiritual, and the lotus blossoms associated with them provide a visual and metaphysical representation of these energy centers.
