Blue Lotus - Nymphaea caerulea

Finding your place in the world.

This essence is for all those who strive and do their best and yet doubt themselves. When one vacillates between exaggerated humility and the feeling of being an impostor, between making oneself small and posing, between uselessness and overestimating oneself.

Blue Lotus helps to throw off all mental ballast, all ideas of how one should be and behave in order to work for the good. It takes the burden off one’s shoulders, gives an unprecedented feeling of lightness, even a form of euphoria.

You stop judging and condemning yourself. You are allowed to make mistakes, talk nonsense and take wrong paths. It’s part of the journey and doesn’t matter. You learn to laugh at yourself, and this feeling is allowed to spread to the circumstances in which you experience yourself, the people who surround you, yes, the whole world.

And yes, you are just an insignificant little creature who will probably leave no trace in history. So what? You can experience and radiate so much joy and love and let your fellow human beings share in it. Isn’t it worth it to live your life as it is, to accept it without reservation, to change what you can change and to accept what is unchangeable. With lightness, humour, insight and wisdom.
