We had the good fortune of connecting with Lotus Soull and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Lotus, can you walk us through the thought-process of starting your business?
My own inward healing , which led to my physical healing and wanting to share my story as well as this knowledge with community was the initial spark in my journey with starting my own metaphysical business. During the Pandemic I had the opportunity to grow from existential circumstances that had come my way . I also had the opportunity to share those experiences and realign with who and what i have been since a little girl . I was going to pursue my childhood dream of opening peoples hearts so they would feel Gods love as I have within this space. I wanted to continue to translate everything i touch into the highest form of human good. My path in allowing others to see how i use certain tools the earth has given us to heal holistically and balance the mind , body and spirit uplifting the soul .
I created an Energy and Intention Gemstone Jewelry line with respect to the healing methods of the seven Chakras. Using Perfect Crystals and Stones to align our bodies with the innate desire to heal and be happy.., to be the highest versions of ourselves . The Purpose is to help the world Heal and Love Unconditionally.
I prayed everyday that i could somehow be able to make a living staying within my purpose with the intentions of growth and sharing . Crystals allow me to spread love and light throughout the world with one of a kind Gemstone Jewelry ensuring we all know we are too, One of a Kind.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
I like to think of myself as a visual colorist ! My Art by design in general is to appeal to our emotional connection to the color and vision we see within our dreams, in real life and all around us. My Crystal Jewelry line is the equivalent of seeing the world as a bright light through a prism . With that in mind , shining a light through a prism gives you the seven Newtonian colors . My art holistically links these Seven colors of Red ( Root Chakra ) , Orange ( Sacral Chakra ) , Yellow ( Solar Plexus Chakra) , Green ( Heart Chakra ) , Blue ( Throat Chakra ) , Indigo ( 3rd Eye Chakra ) , and Violet ( Crown Chakra ) . The Chakra colors usually indicate current emotional , spiritual , and physical state of a human being. The Chakra System Governs over main body organs and some bundles of nerves , there is a connection to colors and our body emotions. Its because of this connection between spirit, soul and the mind and whole body that i introduce this crystal healing to those who attract them. I am most excited about sharing a different but not new way of healing holistically and on a vibrational level . Crystals and Gemstones are the foundation of our earth , it is literally what the earth is made of . Crystals that we wear, carry or have in our environment are ” flowers of the earth ” . They hold specific frequencies in their natural states that we have the capability of tapping into . I am excited to share the knowledge of crystal healing within the chakra system.
This life has always been a part of me . I do not know how to separate it from myself. As a child i was fascinated with Geology, earth and space science, wild life or any animal , jungles, the ocean ( beach mostly ) , and love. This is all i have ever wanted to do or be . A conduit of unconditional love . It has not been an easy path because you are kind of like a little ” geeked out ” , lol . Everyone tells you that loving people is not a real job . People use to say colors and design , like no your a nurturer so just be a nurse. In which i did. In which led to feeling unfulfilled and my empathy is WHOA. My moral compass does not always meet with the bottom line in the health care world. I felt restricted .
I had the opportunity during the Pandemic to tap into my purpose driven life and have never looked back. I did not expect to get the overwhelming interest in what i was sharing. I often engaged in community based events to offer my gemstone jewelry while educating people to where the idea behind my brand comes from. To share love and light has been my blessing. Challenges have and will always arise but i push through them in love . I stay consisted and grounded within my beliefs and myself. I know all i want to do is be a light in the world. I am not trying to convince, just trying to live and let my light shine.
I have learned that nothing comes with ease and opportunities will come to you if you remain consistent . I have always known that everything is always for something. This time , i am more grounded in that knowing so when i go through voids i do not have any anxiety . I embrace in what i know that my time is perfect where i am in this moment right now.
The world is in existence as we know it form Love, it is the foundation in which all things, ideals and places were born. Lotus Soull Chakra Shop was created to help us understand the space in between and have love for that Energy .

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
If you are coming to Baltimore for a little visit and I am your tour guide, please expect it to be eclectic. For starters, i live in a Historic area along the waterfront called Fells Point. The neighborhood is beautifully restored . The lively market buildings have restaurants, cafe’s , shops, pubs and live entertainment. Water taxis connect fells point to the Inner Harbor. There are so many cool things to do surrounding the Inner Harbor, that you could spend several days there alone. There are historic vessels and submarine tours. Harborplace is located in this area and they have shopping centers, tons of food and there are street artist showing off their skills. We would have to spend time at the National Aquarium ! It overlooks all of the harbor and they have that amazing tropical rain forest there ! Also, right across from the harbor is Camden Yards , our famous Oriol’s baseball stadium ! If we can fit it in, a game would be nice and comes with so much fun to be had !
Baltimore has so many museums we could visit. To name a few, The Walters Art Gallery is an internationally renowned museum and one of the few to present a comprehensive history of art from the third millennium BC to the early 20th century. However, my favorite is the American Visionary Art Museum ! This awesome space displays work of self- taught artist from around the world. It completely inspires me if i ever feel my creativity well becoming low.
I am a huge animal lover, so we will have to spend some good time at the maryland zoo and feed the penguins. After, we can go to gunpowder falls and have a picnic on the rocks.
Baltimore offers so many creative spaces for poetry, networking events and tours it would be very hard to not have something to do ! Let me know if you want to come to the city and i will personally take you to have the best vegan chopped cheese steak at My Mammas Vegan ! Saturday Morning we can do brunch at City View Bar and Grill which has the best shrimp and grits in town ! They have a live DJ, bottomless mimosa’s and whole vibe that puts a smile on your face for the rest of the day ! Baltimore is a little kept secret !

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
I remember in my first stages of my awakening , i was so young and unsure . The world around me told me i was too nice, and too sensitive and just drama and a mixture of things that i let define my mind for some time. That kind of thinking led to my physical body believing what my mind was telling it . I in turn developed depression, a bleeding disorder and tumors within my sacral system , fertility issues and severe headaches. I was being severely emotionally and physically abused for as long as i could remember and finally i just broke. A nervous breakdown in your early years makes you think you really are who they said you were. My Doctor, Dr. Timothy Rhymes met with me and listened to me . He gave me the book of Job which maybe was unethical but changed my life. He told me that nothing was wrong with me but i was fighting just to be me. So why not be you. Do all of the things you want and like to do . Dance, volunteer work, church , the beach, yoga , meditation, painting, designing , loving everyone …I punished myself for a while and have at least four surgery discharge papers to prove it . They told me on the last time that i probably wouldnt make it because they could not figure out what the cause was and could not control the bleeding. With this information , i decided to move to the beach , an island in NC , Since it was the end i decided to listen to what Dr. Rhymes had told me . I did this and my life would never be the same. It opened the door to understanding how powerful the human mind is . I met a biofeedback chemist at one of my volunteer church groups and she began treating me for free. Holistically … She had other Holistic Practitioner friends treat me as well , for free! I Also met a specialist who was able to figure out the root cause of my bleeding disorder, remove the tumors and i have been alive ever since. I always said to God that if he didnt leave or forsake me , i would in turn give him all of the Glory . So Shout out to God, Dr.Rhymes , and the other Practitioners that tapped in to my soul.
