Lotus and the Lily: Access the Wisdom of Buddha and Jesus to Nourish Your Beautiful, Abundant Life (Mindfulness Meditation, For Fans of The Gifts of Imperfection)

This is another 30-day program that invites the reader to connect deeply with oneself, with one’s soul, even. In this series of exercises, you surface patterns and emotions, and through writing ‘soul writing’, release them. I loved working through this book and getting more intimate with my higher self and not just my usual ego that runs the show.The forgiveness practice in this book is the most powerful I have ever seen. At the end of the program, you go through a process the culminates in making a mandala, a visual intention-setting.I don’t know if it was doing this, or doing the Hoffman Process, but after both of these, I had the best year ever. I met my husband, accelerated my business and had unexpected success with my art. I love recommending this book to those who want a deep dive into their sacred self.

My experience with The Lotus and The Lily was not only transformational regarding how I look at what I put out into the world energetically, but, also how I perceive Spirit. This is not a self help book, but, a conscious forming spiritual practice in who we are and how we go about being the best person we desire to be. The list of books to read and gather spiritual knowledge that Janet pulls from is extensive and I have not been disappointed in the ones that have resonated for me to fully explore. This is my second year with creating a Divine life and creating a clear relationship with All That Is. I feel that anyone, from any religious background, can benefit from truly understanding their relationship with not only themselves, but, the Divine. I look forward to continuing to Create my universe with consciousness and passion, knowing that each year The Lotus and The Lily will take me deeper and deeper into the Divine and hold me gently while I peel away the layers of who I had to become to survive, into who I Am meant to be to truly Live! Thank You Janet Conner!! Kristin Ace

I have taken several online workshops with Janet. She is such an inspiration, full of life and energy. This was my first year participating in Lotus and the Lily. I have both the book and the journal. This is not just a 30-day practice. This is a lifetime practice. Heal your old wounds, let go of old patterns, become the person you are meant to be. When I was first introduced to Janet I was beginning my spiritual path, connecting to my inner wisdom, finding what my purpose is. The journey continues, I have learned it's not about the destination. I am excited about the new ventures I am embarking on this year. I will participate in Lotus and the Lily every year! Do not hesitate! Janet is the real thing!

This book takes you through a 30 day process that is very powerful. I first went through it a year ago, and the ongoing benefits are what encouraged me to go through it again this year. In fact, I ended up giving the Lotus and the Lily to friends, I was so pleased with the changes that the processes in the book lead me to make in my life. The end process was creating an intention mandala, which became a part of my ongoing daily spiritual practice. So much has developed in my life, largely due to the spiritual work that I did using this book, and the Spiritual connection that resulted. I feel that I am now doing the life work that I came here to do, and I know that I always am connected to the Divine.There are also so many wonderful resources that the author provides in each chapter. This is the kind of book that you can go back and use, and get a different and deeper level of experience each time.

The Lotus and the Lily is a great book to read anytime in the year, but especially when you feel a calling to reconnect with your deepest self and either change course or find the delight on the course you are already on. I read it as my end-of-year review and as I pondered what I wanted to create next in my life. Although it's a book with deep thoughts, it also has simple practices to help you connect more deeply to the divine in every day life. I love how it takes the law of attraction and goes even deeper, and how it helps you focus on your goals and dreams presenting ancient wisdom with a new and fresh approach. Every single chapter is full of highlights and notes and I know it's a book I will refer to over and over again for it's inspiring questions for reflection, simple rituals and divine inspirations.

It's obvious to me that Janet Conner is being called to help others find meaning and purpose in their lives. I am using this book as a way to pace and plan my days. I read a few pages every morning. That's is how she designed it. Each morning, Janet's words serve as i a reminder to me that everyday has the potential for moments of awe and inspiration. We need only to pay attention. She reminds us to open our hearts and minds, to listen carefully for the smallest miracles of connection. What a gift!Janet Conner is a conduit of sorts. She seems to fervently dedicate her life to helping others find their way through her inspired thoughts and words. If you are searching or simply asking questions, Janet's inspired message might help you find meaning, purpose and direction. I have found this to be a true. Her message inspires me to savor life for fully and fills me with child-like hope and optimism. That's a priceless gift and for it I am deeply grateful.

This book has literally changed my life . All of Janet’s books and guidance along the way have brought so much joy, inspiration & divine connection into my life. I just completed my 2nd year of the Lotus & Lilly. The book is a daily process that gently guides you toward creating the the conditions that will help manifest the life your soul is meant to live and your desires for the coming year. The mandala work towards the end of the book is a wonderful daily tool to use for the year. Life flows when you come into alignment and the Universe will surely surprise and delight you with unexpected gifts of wonder. Janet is the perfect guide for this absolutely divine work.

This book took me thru a very down dark period with hope and encouragement to recover and become more aware of deep issuesI found it very rewarding personally and enjoyed the simplicity of the authors approach

Nice book!

In this book, Janet Conner says that it is her soul purpose to `use words to connect people to the Light.' This is exactly what she does! She connects us to the Light within ourselves to be guided to the life of our dreams - a life that's happy, meaningful and abundant. I cannot praise and recommend this author and this book highly enough! This 30 day soul program is doable and it's enriching. Each day on this `soul program' leaves you feeling guided and blessed and happy. And the thing is, the program's effortless - you will not feel like you have to `do' something tedious and time-consuming (it's short and sweet for those of you who are strapped for time). Week 1 guides you through `preparation', week 2 asks you to `look back' on your life, week 3 asks you to `create space' to be receptive to the Universe's blessings and week 4 guides you to `look forward' to your new life. Buy this book as one fantastic way of experiencing life's blessings!

I thoroughly enjoyed this read. Extremely inspiring and informative with lots of exercises to do that really makes you 'think' about yourself and your life. It is practical and provocative giving you the tools that provide the building blocks to re-create your life towards a more happy and fulfilling future. The book is also timeless, making it possible to continue with your life-reviews year after year.
