For example, the flowers of the herb eyebright look like the human eye, and, in fact, eyebright is useful for eye infections. An open walnut in its shell resembles a human brain, and, traditionally, walnuts were used for head-related ailments. Today, we know the fatty acids in walnuts help improve memory. Plant spirit medicine contains an element of the shamanic. This is true in homeopathy as well, which is typically plant-derived: we are our own medicine. The Signature of You Like snowflakes, no two humans are alike, and while we acknowledge this truth in the form of fingerprints, we can dive deeper, into the signature of our soul.Gillian Macbeth Louthan counsels, "Breathe your signature, your difference, your sound, and your color into every portion of your life. Do not try to color and change yourself by mimicking the same vibrations as others, for you cannot and will not fit into their blueprint. Honor all of your creations and honor the creations of those around you. There is no need to change them to compete with others' life experiences, for each life has its own design and destiny that serves the greater good and the greater God." I had a dear lifelong friend who lived to be 101. Ellie was widely loved for her positive outlook and deep interest in others. She opened just about every conversation by saying, "How are you? Tell me all about you!" I interpreted this to mean an update on my life, but/and, her inquiry can also be construed at a meta-level: How are you living? What is your defining signature? What is your sound (vibration), the color of your soul? This is the unique gift you bring to a world in the midst of unprecedented upheaval and profound evolution. You are delicious.
