The lotus flower is a symbol of purity, transformation, rebirth and spiritual growth. It represents the ultimate symbol of the human alchemical quest, the transformation of ignorance into wisdom, and of darkness into light. The indigo-colored lotus flower represents the Ajna chakra, the third eye chakra. This center is referred to as the gateway that gives access to the higher realms of knowledge and consciousness. It is a symbol of wisdom, inner knowledge, mystical vision, transmutation and spiritual knowledge.
