This flower originates from ancient Egypt and was already used for spiritual purposes back then. The blue lotus was seen as a symbol of rebirth. Other attributed properties of the blue lotus include increased libido (aphrodisiac), sleep aid, muscle relaxant, anti-anxiety agent, and lucid dreaming. The substances nuciferine and apomorphine, found in the blue lotus, are non-selective dopamine agonists that can induce a positive feeling in individuals with low dopamine levels. Some even claim that the blue lotus is a healthier alternative to marijuana and cannabis, with similar effects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"684\" src=\"https:\/\/triptherapie.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/blauwe-lotus-1024x684.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"2634\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/triptherapie.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/blauwe-lotus-e1610970938239.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/triptherapie.nl\/extended-psiloflora-ceremonie\/blauwe-lotus\/\" class=\"wp-image-2634\" title=\"\"><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"428\" src=\"https:\/\/triptherapie.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Blue-Lotus-egypte-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"35708\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/triptherapie.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Blue-Lotus-egypte-1.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/triptherapie.nl\/?attachment_id=35708\" class=\"wp-image-35708\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/triptherapie.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Blue-Lotus-egypte-1.jpg 640w, https:\/\/triptherapie.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Blue-Lotus-egypte-1-300x201.jpg 300w, https:\/\/triptherapie.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Blue-Lotus-egypte-1-360x240.jpg 360w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"de-truffel-ceremonie-en-psilocybine\">The truffle ceremony and psilocybin<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>During a truffle ceremony or mushroom ceremony, the psilocybin you ingest is converted by the body into psilocin.

The primary effect of blue lotus is a pleasant feeling of warmth around the head and upper body. It also creates a very comfortable, dreamy feeling, with a slightly stimulating effect. The 6th chakra, or third eye, can be opened more easily by blue lotus. Thanks to the powerful hallucinogenic effects of psilocybin and psilocin in magic truffles, you can turn inward in a peaceful, dreamy way. It&#039;s like combining lucid dreaming with psychedelics. Because dopamine receptors are mildly stimulated by the substances in blue lotus and serotonin receptors by the truffles, this can induce a feeling of euphoria. In short, it can provide an inward journey with a great deal of peace, clear visuals, and a sense of well-being.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"685\" src=\"https:\/\/triptherapie.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Magic-truffels-1024x685.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"927\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/triptherapie.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Magic-truffels.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/triptherapie.nl\/truffeltherapie-met-magic-truffels\/magic-truffels\/\" class=\"wp-image-927\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/triptherapie.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Magic-truffels.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/triptherapie.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Magic-truffels-300x201.jpg 300w, https:\/\/triptherapie.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Magic-truffels-768x514.jpg 768w, https:\/\/triptherapie.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Magic-truffels-360x240.jpg 360w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-item__caption\">Truffles (psilocybin<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"868\" height=\"434\" src=\"https:\/\/triptherapie.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Truffel-mushroom-ceremony.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"2924\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/triptherapie.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Truffel-mushroom-ceremony.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/triptherapie.nl\/truffel-mushroom-ceremony\/\" class=\"wp-image-2924\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/triptherapie.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Truffel-mushroom-ceremony.jpg 868w, https:\/\/triptherapie.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Truffel-mushroom-ceremony-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/triptherapie.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Truffel-mushroom-ceremony-768x384.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 868px) 100vw, 868px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"voor-wie-is-de-combinatie-blauwe-lotus-en-truffels-geschikt\">Who is the combination of blue lotus and truffles suitable for?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This combination is suitable for those seeking a spiritual or healing journey. However, there are some contraindications that should be taken seriously. People who are prone to psychosis, have borderline personality disorder, or schizophrenia should avoid taking psychoactive plants, fungi, or substances (besides their medication). Medications (such as Tramadol) for cardiovascular disease are very dangerous when combined with psychedelics. All other medications that interact with dopamine and serotonin receptors are also contraindicated. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<section id=\"06c172\" class=\"section-06c172 gutentor-module gutentor-module-accordion\"><div class=\"grid-container\">\n<div id=\"6c5447\" class=\"wp-block-gutentor-m6-item section-6c5447 gutentor-module gutentor-module-accordion-item\"><div class=\"gutentor-module-accordion-panel g-a-panel-06c172\"><div class=\"gm-ah-06c172 gutentor-module-accordion-item-heading gutentor-module-icon-position-right\"><span class=\"gutentor-module-accordion-panel-handler\" role=\"button\"><span class=\"gutentor-module-accordion-panel-handler-label\"><strong>Physical contraindications:<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"gutentor-module-accordion-icon\"><i class=\"gm-aio-06c172 gutentor-module-accordion-icon-open fas fa-plus\"><\/i><i class=\"gm-aic-06c172 gutentor-module-accordion-icon-close fas fa-minus\"><\/i><\/span><\/span><\/div><div class=\"gm-ab-06c172 gutentor-module-accordion-body\">\n<div id=\"section-g3a2e52\" class=\"wp-block-gutentor-e0 section-g3a2e52 gutentor-element gutentor-element-advanced-text\"><div class=\"gutentor-text-wrap\"><p class=\"gutentor-text\">Pregnancy<br>Kidney diseases<br>Diabetes<br>Epilepsy<br>Neurological disorders<br>High blood pressure<br>Cardiovascular diseases<br>Brain hemorrhages<br>Adrenal complaints<br>Abnormal blood cells<br><\/p><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"a260b7\" class=\"wp-block-gutentor-m6-item section-a260b7 gutentor-module gutentor-module-accordion-item\"><div class=\"gutentor-module-accordion-panel g-a-panel-06c172\"><div class=\"gm-ah-06c172 gutentor-module-accordion-item-heading gutentor-module-icon-position-right\"><span class=\"gutentor-module-accordion-panel-handler\" role=\"button\"><span class=\"gutentor-module-accordion-panel-handler-label\"><strong>Psychological contraindications<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"gutentor-module-accordion-icon\"><i class=\"gm-aio-06c172 gutentor-module-accordion-icon-open fas fa-plus\"><\/i><i class=\"gm-aic-06c172 gutentor-module-accordion-icon-close fas fa-minus\"><\/i><\/span><\/span><\/div><div class=\"gm-ab-06c172 gutentor-module-accordion-body\">\n<div id=\"section-g45d25d\" class=\"wp-block-gutentor-e0 section-g45d25d gutentor-element gutentor-element-advanced-text\"><div class=\"gutentor-text-wrap\"><p class=\"gutentor-text\">Schizophrenia<br>Psychosis<br>Borderline<br>PTSD<br>Other serious mental disorders<br><\/p><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"6638f1\" class=\"wp-block-gutentor-m6-item section-6638f1 gutentor-module gutentor-module-accordion-item\"><div class=\"gutentor-module-accordion-panel g-a-panel-06c172\"><div class=\"gm-ah-06c172 gutentor-module-accordion-item-heading gutentor-module-icon-position-right\"><span class=\"gutentor-module-accordion-panel-handler\" role=\"button\"><span class=\"gutentor-module-accordion-panel-handler-label\"><strong>Contraindications to medication<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"gutentor-module-accordion-icon\"><i class=\"gm-aio-06c172 gutentor-module-accordion-icon-open fas fa-plus\"><\/i><i class=\"gm-aic-06c172 gutentor-module-accordion-icon-close fas fa-minus\"><\/i><\/span><\/span><\/div><div class=\"gm-ab-06c172 gutentor-module-accordion-body\">\n<div id=\"section-ga2c2e5\" class=\"wp-block-gutentor-e0 section-ga2c2e5 gutentor-element gutentor-element-advanced-text\"><div class=\"gutentor-text-wrap\"><p class=\"gutentor-text\"><br><strong>SSRi<\/strong>: citalopram (Cipramil\u00ae) \u2013 escitalopram (Lexapro\u00ae) \u2013 fluoxetine (Prozac\u00ae) \u2013 fluvoxamine (Fevarin\u00ae) \u2013 paroxetine (Seroxat\u00ae) \u2013 sertraline (Zoloft\u00ae) etc\u2026<br><strong>SNRi:<\/strong> Venlafaxine (Effexor) \u2013 Duloxetine (Cymbalta) etc\u2026<br><strong>TCA:<\/strong> mitriptyline (Tryptizol\u00ae) \u2013 clomipramine (Anafranil\u00ae) \u2013 imipramine \u2013 nortriptyline (Nortrilen\u00ae) etc\u2026.<br><strong>Benzodiazepines:<\/strong> oxazepam (Seresta), \u2013 diazepam (Valium) \u2013 alprazolam (Xanax) etc\u2026<br><strong>The following medications should not be used during the 3 days before and 2 days after taking psilohuasca:<\/strong>:<br><strong>Anti-asthmatic agents<\/strong><br><strong>High blood pressure remedies<\/strong>: (methyldopa, guanethidine, reserpine)<br><strong>Buspirone<\/strong><br><strong>Levodopa<\/strong><br><strong>Opioids<\/strong> (especially <strong>dextromethorphan<\/strong> (found in cough syrup, among other things), <strong>tramadol!<\/strong>) <strong>morphine<\/strong> and <strong>codeine<\/strong><br>Cold, nasal and cough remedies (if they are available) <strong>dextromethorphan<\/strong> or <strong>sympathomimetics<\/strong> (contain) (Otrivin\u00ae ea)<br><strong>Sibutramine<\/strong> (remedy for obesity)<br>Sympathomimetics.
