BLUE LOTUS FLOWER

The Blue Lotus flower is the highest vibrational flower on the planet.The blue lotus flower, known for its calming and euphoric effects, facilitates relaxation, inner peace, and heightens spiritual awareness. The Blue Lotus Ceremony is a sacred ritual involving the consumption of blue lotus flower(Nymphaea caerulea). The Blue Lotus flower holds significance in various cultures and has been used for its psychoactive properties,  it is a spiritual practice associated with the ancient Egyptian civilisation as well as the Mayan and Indian civilisations.

In ancient Egypt, the Blue Lotus was known as the "sacred narcotic lily of the Nile" and was associated with the sun god Ra and the afterlife. It was often used in religious ceremonies, as well as for its medicinal benefits. The Blue Lotus was associated with the sun god Ra, as well as with the concept of rebirth and the afterlife. The ceremony will drop you into a meditative or altered state of consciousness, enhance spiritual experiences, or promote relaxation and well-being.

In modern times, some people have revived the use of Blue Lotus in ceremonial contexts for its relaxing and mildly euphoric effects. It is sometimes brewed into tea or smoked as a herbal supplement. A perfect prep for Breathwork journeys and a deeper potency and experience.

SOUND IMMERSION

Sound healing, which is also known as sound therapy, has been practiced since ancient times. The concept of sound therapy is based on the idea that every part of your body creates a vibration which resonates in a certain way. The underlying concept of sound healing therapy is the notion that everything in the universe is vibrating at a certain frequency. Therefore, disease may be caused by an imbalance in your body’s natural frequency. Sound healing therapy works by sending specific sound wave frequencies through the body to help bring the specific organ to its healthy resonant frequency. Therefore, restoring your body’s natural balance to help you heal.

Crystal singing bowls are made of pure crystal quartz and when played they produce magical pure harmonic tones. The tones induce altered states of consciousness as they move through every cell of the body. When immersed in these vibrations our awareness expands and we enter a deep meditative state where blocked emotions are released in a profound and positive way.

Our Bodies including bones, DNA and blood all have a crystalline structure. The human body therefore has a natural affinity too quartz, so the pure tones resonate greatly with the physical and subtle bodies facilitating profound healing. 

Key benefits

How do crystal sound bowls work?

• The sound waves from the bowls can produce binaural beats, which can help synchronize brain wave frequencies

• The sound waves can bring the body's energy centers back into balance 

The frequency of 432 Hz is particularly beneficial for helping the listener to become more peaceful, creative, and calm.
