The Blue Lotus in Ancient Egypt

The image of the Blue Lotus (Nymphaea caerulea) is all over the place in ancient Egyptian art and mythology – and for good reasons. It is a plant with powerful healing and calming properties. This ain’t no mere chamomile herbal tea!

It is featured at the very beginning of the Egyptian myth of creation as being the womb of the sun God that arose from nothingness. The center of the Blue Lotus flower is incidentally of a bright yellow. The plant also opens and closes its petals in synchronicity with the coming and going of the physical sun.

It is easy to see how this magnificent plant became so symbolic to the Egypt of the Pharaohs.

But the importance of the Blue Lotus was not merely symbolic to the ancient Egyptians. It was actually used to treat a good number of physical and psychological ailments.

It appears they utilized it as an aphrodisiac and a general tonic to enhance sexual vitality. This is not so surprising as the plant is able to bring about a strong relaxation of the body along with a slightly euphoric feeling. As such, they also seem to have used it as a pain reliever and a stimulant for the circulation bodily fluids.

Perhaps more interestingly for visitors of this site, it was apparently used to induce trance and meditative states in relation to religious and shamanic rituals. Today we know that this plant contains some psychoactive substances (but no narcotics) and most users of the plant report experiences that are pleasant, mild, relaxing, joyous, calm and blissful – an ideal blend of effects to facilitate meditation and experiences such as astral projection.

1. During the normal waking hours of the day, the brain usually operates in a frequency range of 13 to 40 Hz (which we call beta brainwaves). 2. When we dream, are in a deep meditative state or undergoing an out of body experience, the frequency range of the brain has slowed down to between 4 an 7 Hz (theta brainwaves). 3. It is possible to willingly induce this type of altered state of consciousness by using the simple tool of binaural beats. They are sound waves that influence the brain to enter the theta frequency mode (in the case of a recording designed for out of body experiences). 4. However, because the human ears cannot perceive sounds below 20 Hz, it is not possible to simply listen to 4-7 Hz sounds to influence the brainwaves as we desire. 5. Binaural beats work by simultaneously sending two slightly different and specific audio tones to each ear through headphones. As the brain receives these two tones, it will automatically compensate for the difference between them by generating a third tone or frequency of its own. 6. An astral projection binaural beats recording may send a 250 Hz signal to one ear and a 255 Hz signal to the other – for example. When the brain receives this, it will begin to generate a 5 Hz tone and effectively bring the listener into the required theta brainwave mode to bring about an out of body experience. 7. From this relaxed altered state of consciousness it is much easier to project the consciousness out of the body. Any exit method will work better from this vantage point.
