BLUE LOTUS
THE FLOWER OF ENLIGHTENMENT
The Blue Lotus is a blue water lily, also known as the sacred lily of the Nile. This stunning flower is renowned not only for its healing properties, but also for its mystical powers. It is revered as the flower of enlightenment and transformation and offers benefits for the body, mind, and spirit. Various ancient civilizations such as the Mayans, Egyptians, and Greeks held it in high regard as sacred.
Two main components of the Blue Lotus are nuciferine and apomorphine. These elements are alkaloids that positively influence mood, activating serotonin and dopamine receptors, leading to a soothing effect that promotes overall well-being and, occasionally, euphoria and mild psychoactive effects. Additionally, it has aphrodisiac and bioactive attributes that promote healthy circulation in the reproductive organs, supporting hormonal balance. Furthermore, it is recognized for its ability to enhance meditation and facilitate a connection with the depths of our subconscious minds.
The Blue Lotus symbolizes transformation. It blooms during the day and closes at night, going through a fascinating process before revealing its beauty, as it can only emerge from the mud. This process mirrors life itself. Just as the Blue Lotus emerges from its murky origins to become a beautiful flower, humans also experience transformation. The lotus represents humanity's inherent nature, which is pure, awakened, and enlightened. This plant can teach us how to alchemize adversity into wisdom. Like the Blue Lotus, we require the mud to grow. Obstacles are a natural part of life and support us in our evolution. The Blue Lotus is here to remind us to transform our muddy obstacles into exquisite flowers!
A Blue Lotus tea ritual is a form of meditation, an act of connection with the spirit of the plant. When we engage with medicinal plants in an honouring way, we can receive many insights and inspiration.
