SUMMARY:Blue Lotus Ceremony - Sally Smiles
DESCRIPTION:Welcome to a held\, intimate space of ceremony to connect with and be guided by the ancient Blue Lotus Flower. Explore the dreaming\, intuitive and expansive aspects of your being as we drink the elixir of this sacred medicine. \nThis is a circle to be curious about what lies beneath and beyond\, to dream into a greater connection with all that is & awaken our natural\, intuitive abilities. \nOur time together will include a Tea Ceremony\, Shamanic Journey\, ritual & explorative practices. \nBlue Lotus: A Flower of Dreams\, Intuition & Inner Stillness \nBlue Lotus (Nymphaea caerulea) has captivated humanity for thousands of years. Revered in Ancient Egypt as a sacred flower of creation\, rebirth\, and spiritual awakening\, it appears throughout temple carvings\, tomb paintings\, and ceremonial art. According to Egyptian mythology\, the Blue Lotus was the first flower to emerge from the primordial waters of Nun. As its petals unfolded\, the sun god Ra rose from its centre\, bringing light\, life\, and consciousness into the world. Because the flower closes at night and opens again with the morning sun\, it became a powerful symbol of transformation\, renewal\, and the cyclical nature of life. \nThe Egyptians believed Blue Lotus carried both earthly beauty and divine wisdom. It was used in sacred rituals\, infused into ceremonial wines\, perfumes\, and oils\, and offered in temples as a symbol of devotion\, joy\, and spiritual connection. \nSpiritual Benefits\nFor thousands of years\, Blue Lotus has been regarded as a plant ally for those seeking a deeper connection with themselves and the unseen world. Across many modern spiritual practices\, it is used to cultivate stillness\, expand awareness\, and create a bridge between the conscious and subconscious mind. \nBlue Lotus is often associated with the Third Eye and Crown Chakras\, making it a popular companion for meditation\, intuitive development\, and inner journeying. Many people find that drinking Blue Lotus tea before meditation helps quiet mental chatter\, allowing intuition\, creativity\, and insights to emerge more naturally. \nThe flower has also long been connected with dreamwork. Traditionally used before sleep or evening meditation\, it is said to encourage vivid dreams\, strengthen dream recall\, and deepen our connection with the symbolic language of the subconscious. For this reason\, Blue Lotus is often used during practices involving journaling\, visualisation\, intention setting\, and reflection. \nIts energy is also deeply linked to the Heart Chakra\, inviting openness\, compassion\, and emotional balance. Many practitioners work with Blue Lotus during times of transition\, grief\, or personal growth\, finding that its gentle presence supports self-reflection and a greater sense of inner peace. \nPhysical & Emotional Benefits\nTraditionally\, Blue Lotus has been enjoyed as a calming herbal tea. \nIt has been known to help:\n-Support relaxation and reduce feelings of stress and nervous tension.\n-Encourage restful sleep and promote a sense of calm before bedtime.\n-Ease physical tightness by helping the body settle into a more relaxed state.\n-Lift the mood with a gentle feeling of wellbeing and contentment.\n-Enhance mindfulness by slowing the pace of the mind and inviting present-moment awareness. \nBlue Lotus has also been regarded throughout history as a flower of love\, sensuality\, and sacred pleasure. Ancient Egyptian artwork frequently depicts people holding or wearing the flower during feasts and celebrations\, suggesting it was associated with joy\, beauty\, and intimacy. Today\, many people work with Blue Lotus to reconnect with their senses\, awaken creativity\, and cultivate a deeper appreciation for the simple pleasures of life. \nCome and allow the mystery to unravel….. \nDate: 23rd October 7-9pm\nVenue: The Carthouse @ The Fold\, Bransford\nExchange: £25 per Single Ticket or 2 tickets for £40.\nConcessions are available by request via sally@sallysmiles.co.uk\nPlease Note: All tickets are non refundable or transferable. \nWhat to Bring:\nYoga Mat/blanket/cushion & anything to lay down and sit with comfort\nWater\nWarm\, layered clothing\nNotepad & pen to write down insights \nYOUR FACILITATOR: \nSally is a Shamanic Practitioner\, Drum Maker\, Musician & Sweatlodge Facilitator based in Worcester.
