Clematis: Staring At Worlds Far Away
Sometimes, when I stare at a clematis plant in full bloom, it reminds me of gazing at stars, gazing at stars and galaxies far, far away. Dreaming and wondering what secrets these distant constellations may hold.
It’s great to dream and to escape, sometimes, from the realities and busy ‘to-ing and fro-ing’ of day to day life. But taken to an extreme, dreaming can be a problem. In short, we’re not living in the here and now; we’re not getting things done. As many Bach Flower practitioners might say, in a Clematis state, we’re not grounded, and that, at its simplest, is the role of the Bach Flower Essence Clematis; to help keep us grounded, aware of the here and now and ready to move forward with our lives.
The ‘Clematis state’
Some of the feelings that can be associated with the ‘clematis state’ are:
- Dreaminess, not being in the present world
- Living in the future, always dreaming of a fantasy world
- Getting tied up in thoughts and not taking action
- Absent mindedness
- Thoughts skipping from one thing to another
- Unable to sense the real world, not having ‘our feet on the ground’.
In these circumstances, the Bach Flower Essence Clematis might help by bringing feelings of:
- Having an active interest in life
- Living for the here and now
- Being well grounded
- Wanting to get things done
- Seeing difficulties, hurdles and setbacks as positive challenges that can be overcome.
Clematis and Rescue Remedy
Clematis is also one of the five flower essences selected by Dr Bach for his Rescue Remedy. Clematis is in Rescue Remedy to help in times of shock, bad news and stressful situations to try to help us stay in the here and now, to stay connected with reality so that the right decisions and actions can be taken.
