Bach Flower Essence Clematis (Clematis vitalba)

It is vital to have dreams and aspirations in life. However, when a person’s daydreams and procrastination prevents them from moving forward with their lives, it is unlikely that future plans will be realized in reality. When used appropriately, Bach Flower Essence Clematis helps people who find it difficult focusing on the present moment in time. When used appropriately, Bach Flower Essence Clematis helps the individual to stop dreaming about the future while they are working on important tasks in the here and now.

Start Living in the Present with Bach Flower Essence Clematis.

People in the Clematis state often find themselves dreaming about the future. Think of a child staring out of the window during a boring lesson. The clematis state causes disinterest in daily activities. Fantasies begin to take precedence over reality. This means that dreams about future success become more important than working on small, attainable goals in the present. Daily tasks at work take second place, so the individual finds it difficult to actually achieve anything they are daydreaming about. Dreams take over but are never realized. Bach Flower Essence Clematis anchors us in the present, so we can start working towards our achievements one by one.

Situations Bach Flower Essence Clematis can help with:

When a person is in the Clematis state, they will show little interest in life. They may appear sleepy, quiet or deeply contemplative. While in this state, the individual is compelled to live in hope of a better life, but they lack the ability to change their personal circumstances for the better. Bach Flower Essence Clematis helps to re-attune our energies, so we can focus on building a better life for ourselves moment by moment. Sometimes, when someone lives through a terrible loss, they enter the Clematis state. For example, when we lose a close relative or friend, the shock can lead us to imagine a future time, when we will see that person again. This may lead to a loss of focus on the present through dreaming of the afterlife where we can be reunited with that loved one. It is wonderful to have esoteric beliefs, but these should aid us in life and not hold us back.

Using Bach Flower Essence Clematis to break the cycle:

Dreams and fantasies are a healthy part of human experience. But when the fantasy starts threatening reality, there is little time left in the day to get work done. With regular use, Bach Flower Essence Clematis can break the cycle of daydreaming and help you to channel energy into the present task at hand. Clematis aids in anchoring us in the present, so we can move forward with our lives and achieve our plans. Bach Flower Essence Clematis can help a person to build a better life for themselves while letting the future take care of itself.
