TEMPLE OF THE
BLUE LOTUS

In the beginning of time there was only water and darkness, then the lotus came forth through the mud and waters and gave birth to Ra — the sun-god.

NYMPHAEA CAERULEA

I also work with the very gentle plant medicine Blue Lotus. Blue Lotus - Nymphaea Caerulea - is actually a water lily, not a lotus. Blue Lotus is a very gentle plant medicine similar in its gentleness to cacao. You may feel more relaxed, clear, centered, and slightly euphoric. It calms the nervous system and helps to enhance meditation and receptivity. It is also great for sleep and helps promote an active dreamtime.

Myth & Symbolism

RISING FROM THE DARKNESS

In the beginning of time there was only water and darkness, then rising through the mud and waters the blue lotus emerged and gave birth to Ra — the sun-god. The blue lotus is the primordial life force that will not be stopped. She rises and rises again.

From the murkiest darkness she springs forth unsullied by the mud she came from. The mud and the muck simply slide off leaving the flower perfectly clean. Called the ‘lotus effect’, this fascinating chemical phenomena is being studied for practical application such as in car paint. The ‘lotus effect’ is not only a chemical phenomenon but is deeply symbolic and speaks to the nature of her profound medicine.

THE SACRED FLOWER OF THE NILE

The blue lotus is synonymous with ancient Egypt. The Egyptians have a long history with the plant as can be seen in every ancient temple. The blue lotus was prolific on the banks of the Nile and was a part of everyday life. It was consumed in many different ways, including wine and bread. Since the damming of the Nile the blue lotus no longer grows there.

“When the lotus returns to the Nile, a new consciousness shall be reborn upon the Earth.”

There is presently a group of priestesses in Egypt working to return the blue lotus to the Nile. The symbolism of the blue lotus is multilayered, multidimensional and extremely relevant for the present time. The medicine of the blue lotus is not only physical but deeply spiritual as we rediscover her profound wisdom to support us as we enter a new consciousness.

A Personal Journey

WHY BLUE LOTUS

Blue Lotus is a very gentle yet profound plant medicine. Its healing properties act on both the body and the spirit. I was introduced to this beautiful medicine in 2021 on my first trip to Egypt. Floating down the Nile I experienced my first magical blue lotus ceremony. I felt an inexplicable deep connection to this plant. This ceremony was an initiation into her mysteries.

Since that initiation I realize that she had been calling me for many years. Her symbolism popping up in the most synchronistic ways. The blue lotus has been the golden thread that has led me to greater alignment with my authentic self, alignment with primordial life force itself. The blue lotus is much more than just a beautiful flower. She is a doorway into the feminine mysteries.

I invite you to enter the portal of the Blue Lotus with me to create your own personal relationship with her. Her gentle medicine serves as a catalyst to your own blossoming.
