Spiritual and Physical Benefits of Egypt’s Favorite Flower "The Blue Lotus Flower"

As we slowly recover sacred knowledge that was lost or destroyed due to colonization, we are collectively weaving together the wisdom of our ancient ancestors. Information on how to access our own consciousness and heal ourselves with the power of the plant remains a cultural truth common to many ancestral lineages.

History - The Lotus, The Pharoah and The Chantress

Of the majestic world of powerful flora, the Blue Lotus Flower stands out as a symbol of elegance and grace. This exquisite flower has a rich history dating back to the Kemetic civilization of Egypt where it was highly regarded for its extra-sensory properties.

Lotus symbols are scattered throughout the Temples of ancient Egypt and line almost every noble’s tomb. The chantresses of Karnak are depicted using the Blue Lotus flower in ritual preparations for their royals transition to the afterlife. The flower is also shown being worn by chantresses in tantric sex rituals, hinting at its properties as an aphrodisiac. The Pharoah’s themselves can be seen offering it with honor to their gods, discussing with their deities its brilliance and chanting its praises.

Similar to the dating of the mushroom, fossil records show that the Blue Lotus flower has been growing in Mesopotamia for millions of years. There is quite literally MILLIONS of years of intelligence held within this flower.

So what is its spiritual use today?

Purify your third eye, connect to your higher self, spirit, and source of all that is. The Blue Lotus Flower’s color, indigo, corresponds to the third eye chakra and was known by the Egyptians as “the gateway to the divine”.

The third eye chakra is perhaps the least understood chakra in western cultures. It corresponds to an individual's pineal gland. The pineal gland is a pine cone shaped organ deep inside the brain that functions as the brain’s radio receiver. It holds the ability to access divine levels of consciousness and experience the mystical first hand. Most of us who haven’t devoted a lifetime to spiritual practice have calcified pineal glands or “third eyes”.  This is a terrible tragedy that has befallen our modern culture during the long period of time we’ve been kept in the dark by organized religion and led astray by from our own divinity. 

The third eye holds the power for any individual regardless of race, culture, religion, or ethnicity to experience the Divine directly. This is where the Blue Lotus Flower can help. Steeping it in a tea, brewing it with Cacao or smoking it like cannabis before a mindful practice of any kind can help to reactivate this dormant energy center.
