									<p>It was on the Nile River where I was handed two small essential oils bottles by my shamanic teacher seven years ago. One was Papyrus and the other was Blue Lotus. I was on a mystical journey with a group of people that I knew in Peru. We went on an adventure to explore the cosmology of ancient Egypt. Another shamanic experience that followed a deep dive into the world of the Buddha in Nepal and India 2 weeks prior. <br>While handing us the tiny bottles of oil, our guide told us: “We will not ingest any plant medicine here. Instead, we will work with the spirits of Papyrus and Blue Lotus through the sense of smell and see where they will take each one of you on this journey”.</p>
<p>Both Papyrus and Blue Lotus were deeply embedded in ancient Egyptians ways of living and dying. The first in their language and communication in one reality and the other in their connection to the spirit realms through the dream space and expanded states of consciousness in parallel realities.</p>
<p>As I opened each of the bottles and I smelled them separately, the Blue Lotus called out. I felt a deep reignited connection with it. I knew it somehow. It was the first time I smell it yet, somehow, the memory of it rippled in my body. “Mmmmm. This is a beautiful smell” is what I shared aloud as I applied some of it on my wrists. </p>
<p>One more guest was late, and we had to wait for him to start moving on the Nile River and exploring some sacred sites. As he arrived, the boat was waiting for us. He was coming directly from “Burning Man” and was in a very interesting state. The first day on the boat, he was purging almost the whole day and he was very agitated and restless. In the afternoon, our guide asked me to work with him energetically and physically with the intention to help him calm down and sleep.</p>
<p>After our dinner together, everyone in the group went down the deck to their rooms and I stayed to work with him for more than 2 hours. By the end of the session, he was calmer and ready to rest. <br>Going back to my room felt like a dream. I took a shower and went straight to bed. I had placed both bottles of essential oil on the bedside table near me. I felt so blessed to lie down and I went into a deep sleep as soon as I laid my head on the pillow. <br>At some point during the night, I do not remember what time it was, I woke up to the smell of the Blue Lotus filling the room. It was so vivid. I turned to check if any of the bottles was open or fell down on the floor. Both were closed and still in the same place where I had put them. I freaked out! </p>
<p>A day or two prior, as we were visiting one of the temples and the archeology guide was explaining some of the carvings on the walls, I had connected with a figurine of a deity whom I came to know as Thoth, the Moon God. What pulled me in his direction was his knowledge in the arts of magic, the system of writing, science, art and the judgment of the dead.</p>
<p>Back to my room, I was in an ongoing state of fear. I did not know what to do or who to call. I was awake. I was aware of what I was smelling. I kept repeating to myself: “What is going on? Where is this coming from? <br>I sat back on my bed and while being smothered by the smell of the Blue Lotus which I knew very little about back then, I was not able to understand anything at all. I was not in ceremony yet, I felt I was. <br>Suddenly, a form showed up in the room. A silhouette of a spirit! I could not believe what my eyes were seeing. I knew it was a spirit but how? How can this happen outside ceremony or without ingesting any plant medicine? <br>In denial, I asked: “Who are you?”<br>A voice responded: “You called for me”.<br>The vision of the carving in the temple linked me directly to those words. I was in awe. I could not believe how this can happen!<br>My head was spinning. My body frozen. I could not move. <br>After realizing what I had asked for and, in my ignorance, I added: <br>” Yes. I did call for you. I connected with You, and I ask you to teach me your medicine”. <br>What? What was I talking about? It was overwhelming. It’s like I was not the one talking. It was as if I was set on the side, and something is talking through me. I was out of my own way. I was shocked by what I was expressing. <br>The spirit answered: “What is medicine for you?”<br>If there was anything until then that was keeping me together, this question wiped it. I was speechless. I did not know what to do, how to answer or anything else whatsoever. I felt blank. <br>“What is medicine to you?”. I had been exploring and healing in the world of plant medicine for almost 4 years and I did not know what medicine was. I had heard the maestro and other practitioners talk about it. I memorized what it meant for them and would repeat their words, but I had no idea what it means for me till then. Their words escaped me as I was lost in a world of smell and spirit. <br>Was it all a vivid dream in which I was fully present and absent at the same time? <br>I do not remember how I went back to sleep but it felt like sleeping became the dream itself and that vision was the reality that I lived. </p>
<p>After sharing this story with my guide, the next morning, he said three words: “Hold your ground”. What did he mean? I had no clue. I was miserable. I felt I was going crazy, but I kept moving because I had no other choice. I was there and I could not leave. Not yet. <br>The rest of my journey in Egypt was life transforming. It was one of the most potent experiences in my journey outside the ceremony house. I brought the Blue Lotus oil back with me and over the years I spent in the jungle, that same bottle accompanied me until it was empty. I had kept another sample in my apartment back home and every once in a while, I would smell it. </p>
<p>Earlier this year, I started receiving messages again about the Blue Lotus after sharing it with some women. Seven years following my experience in Egypt, I was pulled again to understood what happened with me. As I searched more and followed the threads, I learned about the main Deity of the Blue Lotus &#8211; Nefertem and the ancient ritual of Initiation by the Blue Lotus in Egypt and Greece. My part of the world in this lifetime.&nbsp;</p>
<p>This mystical plant surfaced again in my life, and I knew that I will get a chance to work with it through a woman, a priestess and a guardian. It is timely and it is needed now.<span style="font-size: 16.875px; letter-spacing: 0.015em;">&nbsp;</span></p>

					<description><![CDATA[<p>When someone “loses it”, as we commonly say, there is always a reason and this reason falls into the unknown. It is usually a crisis. We don’t know what to do with this family member, friend or partner. This unknown has not been preached in holy places. It has been feared, banished and expelled as God did to Lucifer. Unfortunately, so much of the truth has been tainted and unspoken of because of fear. </p>

									<p><span style="font-size: 16.875px; letter-spacing: 0.015em;">I got pulled again to my altar this morning while experiencing heaviness in my head and a sense of disorientation. I was earlier guided to proceed with an energy clearing for the house and my mother who is struggling with a family occurrence that has been lingering for a long time. A very long time.</span></p><p>You see, in this lifetime, I happened to land in the Middle East and I have to say, it was not a soft drop. What was I thinking about? I have no idea but that decision was a crazy one!</p><p>I sat on my pillow, held my drum and started a rhythmic beat. I was already in an expanded state. I did not need much to get carried by the beat to explore what is going on.</p><p>Few days prior, it was the New Moon and for this cycle, I sat in ceremony and called on all my helping spirits and guides to join me here, in this space, that I just returned to after half a year.</p><p>I knew the landing was going to be rough again and the welcome back quite charming!</p><p>Anyway, as I drummed, I asked for my energy to be straightened to see with clarity. Some of my main tree allies joined in and after singing them, my energy settled and the head space was clearer. Suddenly, m vision was sharp and I started seeing what is still going on in my family.</p><p>When someone “loses it”, as we commonly say, there is always a reason and this reason falls into the unknown. It is usually a crisis. We don’t know what to do with this family member, friend or partner. This unknown has not been preached in holy places. It has been feared, banished and expelled as God did to Lucifer. Unfortunately, so much of the truth has been tainted and unspoken of because of fear.</p><p>Much of this unknown that experts tend to diagnose, analyze and even reject is related to soul loss. This is not to scare anybody. It is to talk about it, to say it out loud. Every family has at least someone who has gone through losing parts of his/her soul in their lifetime.</p><p>Those parts of the soul can freeze in time when we go through a certain traumatizing incident (accident, death, war, rape, &#8230;) or someone intently steals parts of the soul usually by casting a spell which was divinely agreed upon as well.</p><p>The visions started downloading fast! At some point, I had asked: “Please show me if there’s any additional role that I need to play in this situation”. I knew I was not also ready to let go of my mother. I was not ready for her to leave. Not yet.</p><p>Vividly, I was accompanied by one of my guides to see, for the first time, the “evil eye” (also known in Central and South America as <em>“Mal de Ojo”</em>). This has been casted and intentionally spelled onto my mother and her family (siblings and descendants) within the Christian circle. The intention was clear. It was based in greed and envy. It was based in fear and so it was carried through her to affect each one of us in different ways.</p><p>I saw intertwined threads, darts, lack and loss. They were old, miserable and sucking on my family’s energy still! I had done a lot of healing work so far, but I was somehow not allowed to see this until <span style="font-size: 15.75px;">now! While</span> receiving all of this, I was shown the connection with my latest <em>Little Saints </em>diet in the mountain of Mexico. I was getting prepared to scatter this energy cutting all the threads and shimmering pure light on and into it… <br />This had been carried for a long time within the religious belief system I grew up in… It was embedded in it because fear was the motive to believe in God and not Love. I remember that very well. This was why I decided to seek God on my own. Something never felt right within me yet my connection with the Archangels, some of the Saints, Jesus and Mary archetypes was always strong.      </p><p>In this part of the world, the eye is quite symbolic. I used to see a blue representation of the eye hanging on the top of people’s main doors, in their cars and businesses. The stories that came with that were “protection from the evil eye”. I used to see women including my mother praying on a glass of water to remove the “evil eye” which was spelled on someone. I’ve seen my mother praying, yawning and tearing up while she was in that state. Sometimes, she would tell someone that the spell is too strong and that she did her best but could not remove it.</p><p>How long has this been going and how come the symbol of the eye depicted as a protection from evil in the Egyptian times (<a href="https://egyptian-history.com/blogs/egyptian-symbols/eye-of-horus" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Eye of Ra and Horus</a>) became something to pierce as a dart into the heart and soul of others?</p><p>The ceremony went intensely for whatever amount of time. Eventually, I felt as if a weight has been removed from my psyche. What I was left with was acceptance. I saw how this whole cycle of harm had affected each one of the family I was born with in this lifetime including myself and where each one took it. That part of the story that was lingering in the unknown is now known.</p><p>I sat, head down as if coming out from a battlefield. What do I choose now?</p><p>The answer came as the question surfaced. “I accept each one’s soul path. I have done and I am doing my part. Again and again, I surrender the rest to God…</p><p>In Love and Medicine</p><p><b>Maya Abou Chedid</b></p>								</div>
