Clematis - Clematis

For those who are absent, dreamy, distracted, and in the clouds. The Hedge Clematis is a common wild vine that sends its stems to attack bushes and hedges, climbing ever higher toward the sky. During the summer, it displays a starry constellation of small, discreet flowers. This airy, invertebrate-like appearance of the wild clematis caught Bach's attention. It corresponds to a typical profile: that of the distracted and dreamy who live with their heads in the clouds and take refuge in their dreams, day and night, indifferent to everyday things. With their feet not quite on the ground, like the plant that flees upwards, the "clematis" often bump into things, lose their keys or their way, and do not always cling tightly to life. The remedy helps to improve contact with reality and, for artistic temperaments, to realize their visions. "For dreamers, those who doze off, are not fully awake, do not show much interest in life. Calm people, not really satisfied with their current condition, living more in the future than in the present, they live in the hope of a happier future where their ideals could be realized. Being sick, some will make no effort to get better, and in a certain way will even consider death as enviable, representing the hope of a better life or the hope of finding a loved one they have lost." Excerpt from the 1936 edition of "The Twelve Healers", translated into French by C. Lévi and G. Wolf.
