Padma's Secret is our herbal tea 100% lotus!
The lotus, and especially the Egyptian blue lotus (Nymphaea caerulea), is much appreciated at The Moonchild Wandering for its virtues which are not limited to health and beauty. Indeed, the blue lotus is also known to be a natural consciousness-raiser.
Used in ancient civilizations, Nymphaea caerulea has remained popular today across different cultures, particularly for its abilities to trigger lucid dreams.
What is a lucid dream?:It is a phase during which a sleeping person is aware of being dreaming, but holds a very strong sense of control over the unfolding of the dream.
How does it work?: Everything happens during the so-called REM sleep phase (REM), which is a defining moment for our dreams. The brain itself has the capacity to allow us, at this precise moment, to access a certain level of consciousness while we are sleeping. Lucid dreaming is therefore a natural biological phenomenon.
What's the point of lucid dreaming?: Being able to control your dreams is also being able to control his nightmares. Generally, people turn to this method because it is a natural alternative way to:
- Reduce recurring nightmares
- Relieve anxiety
- Fighting insomnia
- Helping release from addiction
- Fighting Depression
- Overcome your anxieties
Lucid dreams therefore allow you to be able to go back to the origin of your ailments, while having the possibility of being able to transform them into something positive.
How to prepare Padma's Secret?
You can steep a few petals simply in hot water like a traditional tea (with or without the whole flower).
Be aware, however, that it is also possible to make a "lotus latte"! I personally appreciate this version because it helps counter the bitterness of the lotus.
Just infuse a few petals (always with or without the whole flower) directly in hot milk and it's ready! It is an ideal alternative since the lotus is excellent to consume before sleeping.
Do you want to take originality further? Add our honey infused with butterfly pea flower to your latte preparation, you will obtain a drink worthy of a blue dream:
*Tip: If, like me, you are a fan of bubble tea, you can add tapioca pearls to your lotus slat. Thus, you will get your homemade bubble tea lotus version which will have nothing to envy to the best coffee shops, while enjoying all the virtues of the Sacred Lotus!
In Padma's Secret you will find a mixture of Blue Lotus and White Lotus, as well as a whole Blue Lotus Flower in order to make the most of it. This blend will provide you with deep reconnection and alignment on all levels.
Finally, know that the whole lotus flower included will give you a pretty sight, because it opens when immersed in a hot liquid
