HEART

“One of the main symbols of the spiritual journey is
‘the road bordered by flowers’
which represents the way of the heart.
It is the road by which a man walks during self-transformation.”

 

EYE OF TRUTH

HOUSE OF SPIRIT

 

MEDICINE OF
THE MONTH

| lotus + rose |

This month we join Lotus + Rose in union, anchoring us into the Eye of the Heart, the House of Spirit.

Drink in Lotus + Rose tea as you feel called to, and tune in to how these plants together move through you.

Spend time journaling and in silence, with these two in your heart.

 

I will share in-depth about the plant medicine of Rose in our Study Circle after you spend time working with her :)

 

MEDICINE MAKING

lotus honey

 

MAKING YOUR MEDICINE IN CEREMONY

Burn some sacred smoke,
get into a meditative flow
and co-create with Lotus moving through you.
Call in the plant spirit + share your intentions for this medicine you are making.
This is what makes your medicine special and potent
- your own unique prayers
and intentions that are woven into it.
Speak from your heart and move intuitively.

 

you can make a Lotus + Rose Honey too!

SUPPLIES:

  • A glass jar with lid - choose size according to how much medicine you want to make. It’s nice to start small on your first batch. A little jar goes a long way.

  • Honey that is pourable - not solidified.

  • A label for your jar.

  • Blue Lotus Petals or Flowers.


HOW TO:

-Burn some sacred smoke and cleanse your jar.
- Fill your jar 1/3 full with Lotus petals/flowers.
- Pour your honey over it and place your lid on.
- Give it a nice shake or use a wooden stick to move the honey + lotus around to dissolve any air bubbles.

- Label your jar and include the date - “Blue Lotus in organic wildflower honey, 2/2/22”. This is very important so you can remember when its ready!

- Let infuse for 1-4 weeks. I like to wait until all of the color from the plant is gone and has been infused into the honey/

-Once done infusing, use a spoon to scoop the lotus out of the honey, it will be at the top of the jar so hopefully not much honey is wasted.

 

PERSONAL STUDIES + RITUALS

 

  • Shared in our Opening Ceremony. Do this practice on your own throughout the month. Weave it into your ritual of drinking Lotus + Rose. See how it moves through you and feels in your body as you work with it over time.

    Find the mantra “Humee Hum Brahm Hum” to do this practice with in our Spotify Playlist

  • Focus on your breath this month. Breath feeds and clears the heart and allows us to drop in deeply here.
    Sit and just breathe long and deep - or maybe you want to experiment with some breathwork exercises and practices.

    I invite you to welcome in the practice of Left + Right Nostril Breathing, as we work on balancing the yin + yang energies this month.

    Left Nostril Breath - Moon energy, yin, calm, receptive, intuition, cleansing

    Right Nostril Breath - Sun energy, yang, action, concentration, energy.

    Do 3 minutes of each back to back to bring your energies into balance. I like to end with Right Nostril in the mornings, and end with Left in th evenings.

    See the pose + how to here: https://www.3ho.org/kundalini-yoga/pranayam/pranayam-techniques/left-and-right-nostril-breathing

  • Sit in silence with your tea this month, or sit in silence more in general this month. Notice how it feels and the clarity that comes over you the more you practice simply just being in silence with yourself. It is here we can hear our heart speak.

  • Yoni steam with Lotus + Rose together this month. Find guidance in our Month 2 Yoni Steam Ceremony Recording.
