The Healing Power of Egypt

0 Comments

Read Now
 
With its feet in the sands of antiquity and the quest for enlightenment, Egypt has always been a magnet for adventurers, historians, and the spiritually curious. This region of ancient civilization, with its famous pyramids and majestic monuments, also conceals a secret beyond the physical: the healing power of Egypt.
​In December 2022, I joined Dr. Kathia on her "Be the Lotus" Pilgrimage to Egypt, accompanied by twelve amazing women on a journey that would forever change my life. We were thirteen robust, beautiful, yet vulnerable ladies called to Egypt. Some came to bond with their family, some to strengthen friendships, while others sought new knowledge in the mysteries. We were there to heal from past wounds, grow from existing spiritual journeys, and break free from what held us back.

​Egypt's Enduring Legacy of Health and Healing as a Woven Tapestry

Egypt has been a destination for pilgrims seeking solace and enlightenment since ancient times. The ancient Egyptians acknowledged the vital force permeating the universe and all living things' interdependence. This view sparked the development of innovative treatment modalities that took inspiration from all corners of life and the natural world.

​Restorative Places

​As a devoted Christian on this journey, I refrained from partaking in many of the (universal) spiritual practices and circles offered on this pilgrimage. However, I witnessed such beauty as my fellow travelers went through their own rebirth. The Egyptian temples were more than just impressive buildings; they were also places of salvation and enlightenment. These temples honored gods and goddesses linked with health and wellness, including Sekhmet, the lioness goddess of life and vitality. The sick, the downtrodden, and the spiritually unbalanced would go to these temples for treatment. Temples were places of worship where priests and priestesses performed rituals, sang healing incantations, and administered herbal medicines, connecting the human world with the divine.

On our first day on this journey, we had the privilege to visit Isis's Temple. My first day of standing as a witness to how powerful these pilgrimages can be. One of the ladies had a powerful connection to this sacred space and went through a severe grieving process, grieving all the deaths during 2019 and 2021 due to the pandemic. As she cried, I felt called to sit beside her and hold her.
I did not have to say a word. I just had to be there and hold space for her. This moment will forever be one of my most memorable moments, as I realized what "holding space" for someone really means. It's just sitting in silence with those who need us and letting them release their feelings without judgment, advice, or noise. Just silence...I am here for you.

Second, the Nile's mysterious strength

​The Nile River was essential to ancient Egyptian medicine since it was considered the country's "bloodline" Its banks were rich with plants and herbs utilized in alternative medicine and homeopathy. The ancient Egyptians held that a dip in the Nile could heal physical ailments and elevate the spirit.

​Our journey from Upper Egypt to Lower Egypt on the Afindina was magic. Here we could relax from a long day of exploring and discovering sacred places and enjoy time off on our floating temple on the Nile as the landscape changed around us. Connecting around tables of beautiful food made with love and bonding with each other. This part of the journey was my favorite part. I got to know each of the ladies; we were different yet the same. Our stories were aligned on many levels. 
The fun side came out as the ladies enjoyed the hot tub, a dip in the Nile, some Egyptian music and dance, and just silly bantering.

​Our beautiful Egyptologist, Farrag, made each of us a drawing in Arabic of our names and took the time to explain what our names mean.

​We also had the opportunity to visit one of the villages, have tea, and explore their way of life.

Sound and Crystal Healing

Picture
​The ancient Egyptians were well-versed in using the therapeutic potential of crystals and sound vibrations. The belief that crystals like lapis lazuli, carnelian, and clear quartz had special healing abilities was widespread in the past. According to this theory, the sistrum and the solemn chanting of hymns might harmonize with the body's energy centers and bring about holistic health. Watching my lifelong friend Dr. Kathia utilize her fantastic gift in sound and crystal healing still makes me tear up. ​
Her opening and closing circles, playing her crystal bawls, left me feeling honored that I could witness her fantastic talent.  ​

Achieving Enlightenment through Meditation

​The ancient Egyptians knew the value of quiet thought and reflection. The desert was a popular destination for initiates looking for peace and quiet to connect with the holy. These contemplative activities promoted calmness within and opened the way to significant growth on a spiritual and introspective level. 
​I had many opportunities to be by myself, meditating in prayer on all things; when surrounded by open spaces, visiting the temples, and listening to fellow travelers, one becomes inspired to invest more in oneself regardless of faith.

 There is a mutual desire for peace and harmony, for oneness with nature, God, and each other. I saw these twelve beautiful souls sit in stillness, calm, and in a sense of peace, and I was grateful to be a witness and to be called to hold space for them.

The History Continues

Although the sands of time have changed, ancient Egyptian healing practices are still influential today. Egypt's healing tradition echoes in many contemporary wellness practices, from crystal healing and aromatherapy to energy work and mindfulness meditation.

Working with Dr. Kathia and learning from her daily has been a blessing. Her love for Egypt, knowledge of everything related to wellness, and unconventional way of doing things are mind-blowing.
Going on a Pilgrimage to Egypt is a must, regardless of your faith; there is something to discover that was called just for you to witness. It might be in the circles and sound meditation or, like me, as a Christian, loving my neighbor and holding space for them.

In closing

Picture
​Ancient Egypt proves some ideas are more relevant today than thousands of years ago. Its healing heritage attests to the universal aspiration for harmony, health, and enlightenment. Exploring Egypt's healing potential reminds us that the country's mysterious dunes conceal information that might motivate us to seek our own paths to wholeness.

​
We may draw on Egypt's vast healing energies to nourish our brains, bodies, and souls, just as the ancient travelers did when they visited its sacred sites.
Whether you are seeking spiritual growth, healing, enlightenment, or, like me, wanting to celebrate a friend in her moment of greatness, standing witness to the vulnerability of grief, holding space, or connecting with beautiful souls. This experience is a must on your bucket list.

​
I left Egypt more grounded in my faith, grateful for what I have, and prosperous with new friends.
