Zingiber Officinale: Very warming, fiery, burning away things of old, bright, hot passion, uncompromising, right here, right now.

• Ginger is good for pale, cold, lifeless people. Helps unlock frozen emotions, frozen bodies, rigid thoughts. Burns away illusions. De-stabilises constructs and forces the attention to the body, here and now.

A woman who feels cold and lifeless went to see a spirit doctor for help. The spirit doctor took her into a special room and there was a special mirror that allows a person to see the other levels as well.

When the woman steps in front of the mirror, she sees that there is a crystalline cage around her - she is like a bird in a frozen cage!

"But how is this possible? How did this come to be?" cried the woman, and the spirit doctor shows her how she herself built the cage of ice over time, as a defence against feeling sad, and lonely.

He gives her a jar filled with special deep red fire and shows her how to use this to start melting the icy cage away.

"Don't worry," he says. "You are older and wiser now. You'll find out when you finally emerge that spring has come for you."
