BORNITE [Peacock Ore]
This copper, iron and sulphur-rich mineral is commonly known as Peacock Ore due to its indescence of purples, reds and blues and unmistakable tetragonal-shape. BORNITE’s mineral properties provide us with an innate understanding of its potential as homeopathic remedy given the well-known materia medica on our CUPRUM, FERRUM and SULPHURIC-group remedies, the amalgamation of which speaks to a substance with its own unique mental, emotional and physical indications.
In BORNITE - INTENSITY, INERTIA and DISTURBED RHYTHM are keynotes. At the level of the psyche we may observe this "out-of-synchness" in a person who responds to the peaks-and-troughs of life see-sawing between RIGIDITY, SLOWNESS, EXHAUSTION and HYPER-ADRENALISED STATES in which OVER-THINKING, OVER-ANALYSING and CATASTROPHISING lead to OVERWHELM. The demand asked of the ADRENALS and NERVOUS SYSTEM are significant, the tendency towards being UNANCHORED and DISCORDANT-IN-RHYTHM coming at a cost. There is an urgency in their seeking of EXTERNAL SECURITY given the sense of BURDEN that they carry.
The intensity of this polarity can be all-consuming, a chronic BORNITE picture may present in one who SEEKS AUTHORITY and RULES as an external form of structure to rely on, given their internal experience of CONFUSION, LACK OF SELF-DISCIPLINE and SELF-BELIEF - ultimately there is an INABILITY TO FIND SAFETY FROM WITHIN. As the mineral itself is prone to becoming rusty, BORNITE’s connection to their vitality and LIFE PURPOSE may itself begin to “rust” as we see their CREATIVE IGNITION DAMPENED and an OBFUSCATING of their LIFE VISION. This is not because creativity is not within them but rather that their INABILITY TO DISCERN or FOCUS impedes their ability to ACCESS, REALISE and INTEGRATE it.
I consider our gem and crystal remedies to be complex mineral combinations galvanised and alchemised by the energy and force of the earth, qualities that are so clearly depicted in BORNITE. Its extremely high copper content is important to note, being an essential trace element copper facilitates many important functions within the body, from the MAINTENANCE and REPAIR of the HEART, BLOOD VESSELS and CONNECTIVE TISSUES to the delivery of OXYGEN and therefore CHARGE throughout the body. Coppers relationship with iron is reflected in BORNITE where BLOOD and BONE ABNORMALITIES arise - CIRCULATORY ISSUES, BLOOD CLOTTING, HAEMOCHROMATOSIS, PERNICIOUS ANAEMIA, LEUKAEMIA, OSTEOPOROSIS as examples.
A formative LIVER and GALLBLADDER remedy, think again on BORNITE’S keynotes in which HEAVINESS, CONGESTION and STAGNATION are the underlying patterns expressed through the range of symptoms that present. DIGESTIVE ISSUES may include INDIGESTION, REFLUX and LOOSE STOOLS, there may be PAIN or DISCOMFORT in the LIVER &/or GALLBLADDER, BILE INSUFFICIENCY and the BILE DUCT itself may bare BORNITE’s characteristic hallmarks of INERTIA and UNDER-FUNCTION. The RESPIRATORY SYSTEM considered by many as the "INTERNAL SKIN” alongside the INTESTINAL MATRIX, may very well be the centre baring the signs of BORNITE with symptoms ranging from generalised WHEEZING to ASTHMA.
The THICKENING OF TISSUES and BODILY PROCESSES will often manifest in the LYMPHATIC SYSTEM in which POOR ELIMINATION and STASIS feature - hence CONGESTIVE LYMPH CONDITIONS are often accompanied by SWELLING. This remedy is fundamentally a catalyst that enhances one’s ability to DISCERN - BORNITE helps one distill the REAL from the UNREAL and provides an opportunity to UNTANGLE from the NEGATIVITY IMBUED over PAST MEMORIES. Physically these may manifest in conditions where there is THICKENING OF THE CONNECTIVE TISSUES and SKIN - wounding held in the etheric self and psyche is a force made real within the physical body, SCAR TISSUE a clear representation of this state.
