Blue lotus (Nymphaea caerulea) is a startlingly blue water lily native to Northern and Tropical Africa. Found near the Nile River, blue lotus was revered in ancient Egypt for sacred ceremonies and symbolized relaxation and transcendence.

Today, blue lotus is an increasingly rare plant species used in oils, tinctures, and teas to help relieve anxiety and promote rest. It is also said to help open the crown chakra. 

For these reasons, we honor Blue Lotus in our name because like the stunning plant itself, opening ourselves to our intuitive gifts and knowing can provide much-needed healing, calmness, and rest in our spirit. Intuition has a way of bringing more ease and centeredness into our lives, providing us guidance that aligns easily with our hearts.
