Clematis

Dysfunctional state of mind

Daydreaming, lack of interest in the present.

Innate resource / positive virtue

Creativity / Presence

Positive affirmation

"I join life: here and now, I give shape and concreteness to my dreams; here and now, the daily challenges stimulate my imagination and creativity!"

Clematis is the Bach flower for daydreamers, who tend to be distracted, not very present and immersed in an idealised future.

Clematis is naturally inclined to be imaginative and highly inventive. We can say that Creativity is their innate resource. However, this attitude originates from a state of dissatisfaction with one's present life, which can lead the Clematis type to continually escape into a hypothetical sublimated future.

Clematis therefore invites us to develop the virtue of Presence, that is, the ability to be aware of and participate in the here and now and to manifest one's talents in the present moment. In fact, what makes Clematis functional is not just creativity, but the ability to realise the ingenuity and imagination of one’s projects in a current and perceptible expression.
