Lotus as your Third Eye Chakra

The Lotus was the first thing that emerged from the waters of chaos in Egyptian myth. And chaos was, in the minds of the ancient Egyptians at least, the very epitome of evil. Set, the evil God of Chaos was excommunicated by Horus to rule the desert – and nothing could be a bigger punishment! Because of this, with Lotus comes a sense of calm and organisation.

The Lotus is one of the best Cartouche symbols to help you deal with the stresses and tensions that are usually associated with modern life. This is especially true if you also find Nephthys appearing in your reading. Its message is one of peace and relaxation. 


Once we relax, our subconscious minds can take the wheel for a while, and after a bit of percolation, will come up with the answers that our conscious minds have been striving for (usually unsuccessfully). Would it benefit you just to ‘be’ for a little while rather than trying urgently to find a way out of whatever situation is making you uncomfortable?

Lotus brings with it the energies of continuity, meditation, and placidity. It reminds us that events themselves have very little effect on our experience in this life. However… our reactions to those events, which in turn create emotions, have a massive effect on how we feel. We are in control of how we respond. Always. 

If Lotus has shown up as your Chakra, you may already feel totally Zen about the whole thing. But it’s also possible that you are currently creating order out of chaos. If so, then this might feel a bit ‘churny’. And yet, the stress is not what is was. You are the ruler of it, it is not the ruler of you. You’ve discovered that external problems do not have to have internal consequences. You might even be approaching a sense of calm.
