BACH FLOWER REMEDIES: A NEGATIVE CLEMATUS TYPE
Sunday, May 22nd, 2011A negative Clematus type does not live in the present. Whenever he comes across any problem in practical life, he does not face it nor seek its solution. He just slides himself into unrealistic and illusory notions of a bright future. If he undergoes any loss due to his unrealistic mode of living, he does not care; he is so sure of his vision’s bright future.He wants to live alone so that he can completely lose himself in his colourful fantasies.When he is alone with nothing to do, he cuts himself completely from the present, becomes inattentive and careless, does not see anything lying near him, looks away – a vacant distant look with eyes open but not seeing – awake but semi-conscious, sleepy, dreamy, yawning.If he falls ill, he dees not go to the doctor, and makes no effort to get well, because he feels he has nothing to do with the present. Lying in bed he transports his mind to his rosy dreamland, forgetting all physical ailments. For him there is no value of his present earthly existence, as he is not concerned with the present. He is a day-dreamer, absent minded and lives more in thoughts than in his actions. He has a poor memory as he is inattentive when he listens. He may cross you in the street without noticing you, as he is too pre-occupied with his own thoughts.His eyes and ears are more atuned to inward seeing and hearing than their common outward use, and this may adversely affect these organs, and result in street accidents. Sleepiness, drowsiness, inconsciousness, giddiness, dozing and falling asleep while talking or hstening to an important talk depict the negative Clematis State, as it indicates temporary loss of interest in the present. Anybody and everybody may at times find himself in the above state when his mind is so pre-occupied with his inner problems, joys or sorrows or thoughts of an impending important function, that his attention is withdrawn from the present. Clematis will bring him “down to earth”In the negative Clematis State the person does not attach any importance to his physical being. Naturally very little energy would be available at the physical level. Cold hands and feet and a feeling of emptiness in the head results in a weak memory, and inability to recollect details of a message.*92\308\8*
