Vervain
For the Zealot or Fanatic
Vervain soul types naturally possesses strong forces of passionate idealism.
They give themselves fully and completely to the work or cause in which
they believe. However, they can become so convinced of the rightness and
urgency of their beliefs that their natural charismatic capacities degenerate
into those of the zealot or fanatic. Their true leadership ability is
afflicted, for the Vervain type's incredible intensity can overwhelm and
prevent others from making their own energetic connection to the project
or cause which is being promoted. Such an individual can be characterized
as possessing not only great intensity but also great physical tension,
which results in many nervous and digestive problems, and in extreme cases
may lead to nervous breakdown. These persons are usually unaware of their
true energy levels, and often push their bodies completely beyond their
natural capacities. In face, there is very little connection to the physical
body or to the physical world, because this type lives so fervently in
the world of ideas and ideals.
Vervain is particularly an embodiment remedy, helping
the soul to center and ground its tremendous enthusiasm. In this way,
the body becomes a natural regulator and harmonizer for the abundant spiritual
forces which pour out of such a person. When the fiery light of Vervain
radiates through the medium of the body and the physical world, it becomes
more luminous and contained. Such soul ardor is able to inspire, lead,
and heal others.
