Lotus, Blue Absolute, 10% Dilution

Nymphaea caerulea, wildcrafted, solvent-extracted, India.

This rarest of Lotus blossoms yields an ethereal absolute. When appropriately

diluted, it is light, delicate in aroma, not as floral as the more common Pink or
White Lotus blossoms. but its effect on the spirit is amazing.

A “must have” for anyone working with the chakras, doing energy work, or using
the oils as a part of their spiritual journey. Anne writes of feeling as though a tube
of clear blue light and love was opened, inside her. Of knowing that she was
directly connected to a spiritual being, “I felt calm, peaceful and centered, but most
important, connected and loved. A spiritual experience not to be missed.” Anne
describes the scent of the Absolute as that of a gently moving pool, being fed by the
purest of waterfalls, filled with the scent of fragile flowers from heaven.

Debi speaks of feeling her third eye gently spiraling open. The first client to receive
a sample of this exquisite absolute wrote of feeling her crown chakra opening, and
filling with beams of clear light. Others say that Blue Lotus is associated with the
fifth chakra. The Blue Lotus is said to be the flower of self potential and self-
actualization.

I don’t feel this oil the way some others have. But when I play with it I envision a
clear stream, laughing its way over stones…with flower petals floating on the
surface. A peaceful and safe scene, but lighthearted…joyful.

Blue Lotus is not for everyone. It is rare, and costly. We only have a little, and are
only offering it in limited sizes, while supplies last, undiluted. When more becomes
available, we will offer it in a 10% dilution.

And…speaking of dilutions. We found this amazing oil changes, like a chameleon,

with each dilution. We started with the 10% dilution we have always offered.
Diluted that down to 5%, then 2.5%, and then down to perhaps a 1% dilution. Most
of us preferred the weaker dilutions; they to bring out the subtleties and
dimensions of this complex oil.
Perfume writer Victoria, of Bois de Jasmine, writes of our Blue Lotus Absolute:

Blue Lotus strikes me as having a very unique quality—translucence paired with

tenacity. I find that it starts out with a slightly pungent crisp note (not unlike White
Lotus in some ways, which actually reminds me of autumnal leaves), however
immediately crispness melds into transparency underscored by a subtle floral note
and perhaps a touch of verdant foliage. The visions of water you described are very
apt. I did a blind test, and this is exactly the reaction I had.

Available pure and undiluted, or in this 10% dilution in Fractionated Coconut for
ease of use.

istory
In Ancient Egypt, blue lotus was a symbol of sexuality and was said to promote
sexual desire, euphoria, and ecstasy. It is also believed that these entheogens
played a big role in the meditative and spiritual rituals of the Egyptians, the
Mayans, and many other ancient peoples.
The Blue Lotus was also known in Egypt as a symbol of the universe, fertility, and
sexuality. The lotus flower is symbology for the crown chakra. It is prominently
represented in ancient Egyptian art. The Blue Lotus was found scattered over
Tutankhamen’s body when the Pharaoh’s tomb was opened in 1922.
Many historians thought it was a purely symbolic flower but there maybe some
reason to believe that Egyptians used it to induce an ecstatic state, stimulation, and
hallucinations, in addition to its wide use as a general remedy against illness.
When Nymphaea caerulea is smoked or drank after being soaked in water or wine,
it acted as an intoxicant. The Blue Lotus contain Aporphine, apomorphine (which is
dopamine agonist), nuciferine which has antispasmodic properties. The Blue Lotus
flower was considered to be a magical, sacred flower and it appears as a common
motif in numerous ancient Egyptian paintings. The flower was sometimes used in
order to induce and ecstatic state and hallucinations.

The Blue Lotus provides a relaxing, euphoric sensation which helps to relieve
muscle spasms. The Egyptian Blue Lotus is a sedative. It was used in ancient Egypt
as a key to good health, sex and rebirth. It may act as an aphrodisiac.
The perfume of this flower was not only pleasing to the Egyptians, but they saw it
as healing as well. Some people today believe that the Egyptians used this flower
as a narcotic both for its healing qualities and as a recreation drug when soaked in
wine, though this is a hotly debated topic. The Blue Lotus was sacred to the ancient
Egyptians, as an ornamental and for its sweet smelling aroma.
