About Blue Lotus...
Blue lotus was a very sacred flower in ancient Egypt, often linked to spiritual awakening and accessing higher states of consciousness. It represented the souls’ journey as it blooms from the mud, reaching towards enlightenment. It also represented the balance between the material and the spiritual realms, as well as the union of heart and mind. In fact, it was often considered a bridge to the divine.
It was also associated with the Sun god Ra, as it echoes the cycles of the sun - opening with the sunrise and closing at dusk. And it was associated with the Nefertem, who is the god of healing and beauty. They would often use it in healing rituals and as a sleep aid… due to its calming (and even mildly euphoric) effects. It was also commonly used as an aphrodisiac, for dream enhancement and as a meditation aid.
*My personal experience is one of a deepening into embodiment. I palpably felt the flow of shakti awakening in the base of my being then streaming through the subtle energy channels of my body.
I experienced an irresistible impulse to move and flow with the energy.

KIRTAN
Kirtan was where my musical journey started... back in 2009. Upon completing the initial step of my Kundalini yoga training, Kiratn became my happy place. I loved to drop into the Naad (sacred sound current), in community... raising our voices and spirits and together! Being part of Kirtan circles became a beloved and significant part of my life, and how I was able to show up in service.
*After having had a career in the performance arts for many years prior, Kirtan was a beautiful way to share, which was free from 'performance', or 'being seen'. When truly entered into with devotion, Kirtan takes one beyond the ego... into a space where our spirits meet. Inclusion and sharing is the true spirit of Kirtan. I love entering this sacred space with friends and community.
I continue to offer devotional singing circles, for yoga events, festivals and ceremonies....
