{"quotes":[{"text":"We are often given pills or fluids to help remedy illness, yet little has been taught to us about the power of smell to do the exact same thing. 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":"Know how you want to be treated, and expect that when you deal with people.

Out of the shattered fragments of her deeply injured psyche, Jody discovered and nurtured a nascent, emergent self. From the ashes of the frantically activated, hypervigilant, frozen, traumatized girl of twenty-five years ago, Jody began to reorient to a new, less threatening world. Gradually she shaped into a more fluid, resilient, woman, coming to terms with the felt capacity to fiercely defend herself when necessary, and to surrender in quiet ecstasy.","author":"Peter A.
