MADR -Vine The Vine (Vitis) is an evergreen creeper whose fruits have traditionally been associated with winemaking. Wine is a great relaxer, smoothing out the creases of the day, enhancing what has been consumed and providing a pleasant glow of well-being. The physical characteristics can be applied spiritually to indicate the dissolvement of inhibitions, the stimulation of inspiration, and the satisfaction of achievement. The Vine is associated with MADR and teaches the need to dispense with those things that are blocking progress and to draw upon inner resources that will enable you to push forward in all directions. The Vine is an expression of energy that must be trained and its growth pattern is spirallic. It emphasizes the need for proper training and strength of effort in order to grow and develop. |
