It is known that the scent of fresh rosemary increases memory, but this cure for memory loss is not divulged by doctors to help the elderly. I also know that the most effective use of the blue lotus flower is not from its dilution with wine or tea – but from its scent. To really maximize the positive effects of the blue lily (or the pink lotus), it must be sniffed within minutes of plucking. This is why it is frequently shown being sniffed by my ancient ancestors on the walls of temples and on papyrus. Even countries across the Orient share the same imagery. The sacred lotus not only creates a relaxing sensation of euphoria, and increases vibrations of the heart, but also triggers genetic memory - and good memory with an awakened heart ushers wisdom.","author":"Suzy Kassem","tags":["ailment","ancient-egyptians","ancient-medicine","awakened","awakened-heart","blue-lily","cure","cures","doctors","east","egypt","egyptians","elderly","enlightenment","euphoria","flower","flowers","fluids","genetic-memory","genetics","health","healthcare","heart","illness","illnesses","imagery-sacred","increaes-memory","lily","lotus","lotus-flower","medicine","memory","memory-loss","metaphysics","orient","papyrus","philosophy","physicians","pills","power","power-of-scent","power-of-smell","remedy","rosemary","sacred-lotus","scent","scripture","smell","smelling","tea","temples","tombs","treatment","vibrations","wine","wisdom"],"id":3575,"author_id":"Suzy+Kassem"},{"text":"If roses did not suffer thorns on their journey to beauty, they would lose out on becoming masterpieces.","author":"Matshona Dhliwayo","tags":["adversity","challenges","flower","flower","masterpiece","matshona-dhliwayo","motivation","motivational","motivational","motivational-of-the-day","motivational","motivational-for-women","obstacles","overcome","overcomer","overcoming-adversity","overcoming-challenges","overcoming-obs","overcoming-obstacles","overcoming","rose","roses","wisdom","wisdom","wisdom"],"id":3730,"author_id":"Matshona+Dhliwayo"},{"text":"If roses did not suffer thorns on their journey to beauty, they would lose out on becoming masterpieces.","author":"Matshona Dhliwayo","tags":["adversity","challenges","flower","flower","masterpiece","matshona-dhliwayo","motivation","motivational","motivational","motivational-of-the-day","motivational","motivational-for-women","obstacles","overcome","overcomer","overcoming-adversity","overcoming-challenges","overcoming-obs","overcoming-obstacles","overcoming","rose","roses","wisdom","wisdom","wisdom"],"id":3730,"author_id":"Matshona+Dhliwayo"},{"text":"Treat your relationship as if you are growing the most beautiful sacred flower.
