Aloe Vera
Aloe barbadensis
FES Quintessentials
Positive qualities: Creative activity integrated with vital life-energy, active expression of soul fire
Patterns of imbalance: Over-emphasis of will forces or creative fervor; “burned-out” or workaholic syndrome
Definition: Those needing Aloe Vera “burn the candle at both ends.” They have an innate abundance of fiery forces, but tend to overuse these forces and literally “burn out.” Typical of the Aloe Vera type are “workaholics” whose drive is so intense that they neglect their emotional and physical needs, often sacrificing rest, food, and social contact in order to accomplish their goals. Such an attitude cripples the ability to experience life in a heart-felt way, impoverishing the feeling life, and draining the body of vital energy. While will-power can carry such persons quite far, eventually they reach a point of exhaustion, burnout, or breakdown. Aloe Vera helps the soul and body aspects to come into greater harmony, by bringing the nourishment which comes from the water polarity of life — the flowing qualities of renewal and rejuvenation. When the soul learns to balance the fiery forces of the will with the fountain of feeling from the heart, a tremendous outpouring of positive creativity and spirituality can be realized.
