​
Flora and Fana is inspired by fana, a Sufi concept of letting go or annihilation of the ego or mask to find your true self within the oneness of existence. Ego can be personas, constructions of the self, unbridled emotions, or a sense of othering. Acupuncture can help shed the ego over time by removing energetic blocks within meridian organ systems. In Jungian psychology, this is called ego death. Not only can the ego limit a person’s idea of life, it can cause physical pain. According to Daoist philosopher, Lao Tzu, “Pain and happiness are simply conditions of the ego. Forget the ego.”
