Clematis

Botanical Name: Clematis vitalba
Healing Herbs / Bach
Clematis

Positive Qualities: Awake, focused presence; manifesting inspiration in practical life; embodiment

Patterns of Imbalance: Avoidance of the present by daydreaming; other-worldly and impractical ideals

Definition: The soul in need of Clematis has a strong inner life; the ability to image and dream is particularly well-developed. But these capacities are so strong that they overwhelm and distort the soul's connection with the body and the concrete physical world. This results in a personality that is overly dreamy, lacking a vibrant emotional and physical presence in the here-and-now. Thus the great talents of the Clematis types are largely untapped, and physical illness easily takes hold of the body because the warm forces of the ego are lacking. In extreme states such souls will be attracted to drugs, particularly psychotropic drugs, in order to continue the soul's addiction to disincarnated psychic activity. Clematis helps such persons to realize that the great gifts within them can be constructively channeled into the physical world; in this way the soul forces grow warmer, richer, and more present for others.
