During one of my healing circles, I decided to introduce the Blue Lotus Flower. There were already many conversations about this tea and one can buy it from a speciality tea shop or order them online. The quality of the tea is dependent on the cleanliness of how the flowers have been collected and packaged.
Channelled message from Kuan Yin and the White Dragon
When we opened the circle, the White Dragon appeared. He shared that he has been the guardian of the magic of the Blue Lotus flower for thousands of years, not wanting people to abuse the magic of the flower.The flower has medicinal qualities and it works to restore our connection to our divinity. It reminds us of universal love and that is a powerful healing energy. It works to open our third eye and deepen our understanding of the cosmos.
Kuan Yin came forth to share how both the White Dragon had been the keepers and guardians of the Blue Lotus flowers and how it was used during the time of ancient Egypt. She is very glad that we will be tapping into the sacred properties of the flowers to help us in our spiritual growth and journey.
