Purple fir cones!
Mirrors and reflections,
Energy taking physical form;
The plants that grow amongst us
Are signatures and expressions of the place in which they come from.
Just as our environment shapes us, we too are shaped by our environment.
These beauties came from the base of Mt. Shasta
For me, this mountain is a cosmic blueprint into the worlds often unseen
A beacon for prayers to be sent and clarity to be received.
The fir and pine cones represent the pineal gland, referred to as the third eye. This is the organ in our brain that has the ability to perceive beyond this time and space.
Plato stated, “There is and Eye of the soul which is far more precious than ten thousand bodily eyes, for by it alone is truth seen.”
In a time before medical science, they came upon the seat of insight that lived within the human body, a hidden monastery itself; a tiny pinecone tucked away at the very center of the brain.
The ancients naturally activated the Pineal gland through direct experience, ecstatic dance, song, and dream work.
The Pineal gland modulates wake and sleep patterns and circadian rhythms through the release of melatonin, the most fundamental and universal hormone in the evolution of cellular life.
The pineal gland is isolated from the blood brain barrier system in the very center of the brain, receiving a higher percentage of blood flow than any other area in the body except for the kidneys.
::Medicine of the Fir Tree::
The light of life, our true purpose, immunity, walking the beauty path, technology of higher vision
The pines and the firs have spoken to me about being protectors or our immunity, of our physical temples, and of our etheric bodies. Their tips have 300x the vitamin C content of an orange.
They appear to clean the pineal gland and connect us with higher centers of perception, helping one to connect to their divine purpose and have the willpower and strength to pursue it.
::Fir Tip Vinegar Recipe::
In the spring, collect about 3 cups of fir tips.
Place them in a mason jar with a BPA free plastic lid – (Metal lids can rust and add metal to the medicine (no good 🤪))
Pour Apple Cider Vinegar over the tips and allow it to sit for 3 moon cycles.
I like to collect the tips in the morning, when the energy is in the upper part of the tree.. toward the end of the day, as the moon returns, the energy in most of the plants returns to their roots.
