Vine helps us to leave space so that the others can develop. It stimulates our sympathetic and natural authority.

Essence Effect on the Body: The eagerness for control, the spirit of contradiction and stubbornness can be shown in bodily inconveniences that will be translated into pressure, tension or stiffness. Vine essence helps us to eradicate these inconveniences on the energy level. We learn to leave aside our desires and supposed reason. Our selfish focus will find a new measure, we will learn to value others’ opinions and, at the same time, we will become more flexible.

Mood: Vine is a good option for those who care little about the consequences of imposing their will because it helps them to take a different perspective. We can get rid of our greed for power, of our selfishness, of our tyranny and even of our sadistic tendencies. We can also get rid of the domain on the people around us and let them live in freedom. We will realize that thanks to the liberty granted we receive a lot more love than when we demanded it.

Mind: With Vine we can experience a change of thought. It favors spiritual changes, in addition to the capacity for learning and recognition. In those situations where one had previously responded to cries, today there is a new reflection strength which appears clearly and flexible. Our views will not be inconsistent with the wishes of others; we will be able to think "bigger" and to reach, thus, better results. We will learn to critically verify our objectives and to listen to others.

Spirit: In the ethereal level, this essence reinforces our Self-energy. This means opening up new levels of consciousness in which the mere selfishness becomes love towards the neighbor. We will be able to perceive us more objectively and to get rid of limited conceptions. Problems are solved with love for oneself and for others.
