She is linked to our head/mind and our heart. She shows to us the importance to open up our mind, out of the program it could be influenced by, sometimes programming created by ourselves to run away from something we don’t want to face.
It helps to overcome resistance, showing us to open the mind through grace and flexibility as opposed to forcing it open. 🗝
She reminds us to take our time as we peel back the layers we have. With each leaf we peel there is a unique lesson, each part of life has a different chapter. This journey takes time, there are many layers to pull back before the true heart can be accessed, as the flower of the Artichoke shows us. And once it is accessed we don’t need more layers. There is no need for this journey to be so intense. Artichoke flower grows and opens up really slowly and shows us that the process should be enjoyed, dancing through and gentle, so it can be fully integrated. 🦋
In traditional medicine, Artichoke was used to enhance liver function and to treat all manner of liver complaints such as jaundice and hepatitis. The leaves were used in European traditional medicine to stimulate the flow of bile from the liver and gall bladder, to combat diabetes symptoms and to treat heart conditions. It is a super food and medicine. 🌿
Artichoke is Magic, as me and you are Magic too ! 🔮💫🐝
