Granite Pink Connemara
x!y
[Nuala Eising]
I first considered Granite as a homśopathic remedy following two
dreams. Prior to this, I knew nothing
about granite except that it is a rock common to parts of Ireland.
The dreams themselves should explain why I considered it important to
conduct a proving of Connemara granite.
The two dreams are described below. This proving was
conducted in 1987.
Dream: 1
I am looking at a picture of Connemara with its grey, bleak hills. Over the picture is written “Connemara is the
day after”.
This is followed by a series of five pictures.
Each picture is of a Connemara person and is in a wooden frame. Each picture has a caption over it:
1 connemara people are
introverted.
2 connemara people are
incestuous.
3 connemara people are
more prone to cancer than anywhere else in the country
4 connemara people have
more down syndrome children than anywhere else in the country.
5 connemara people are
taller on average than anywhere else in the country -
They have in fact grown like cancer.
Following these pictures a question and answer appeared in front of me
in writing:
Question - What have Connemara people got in common?
Answer - Granite. - - - - -
Dream: 2
I am looking out of the window.
In the sky I see a white dot.
This I know to be Granite as a homśopathic remedy. As I look at the dot, it explodes, becoming a
piece of
beautiful white lace. Slowly, it
moves through the atmosphere, changing shape as it moves. It takes on the shape of butterflies and
birds, always remaining as white lace.
When it has moved through the whole atmosphere it drops to the ground in
front of me. I look down - it is a white
dove, dead because it has cleared the atmosphere of
radioactivity.
Granite and its Composition
Following the dreams, I contacted a friend who is a geologist at
University College, Galway. He explained about the radioactivity in
granite.
Apparently, granite has one of the highest levels of radioactivity of
the granites found in Britain and
Ireland, and the pink granite has a particularly high level of
radioactivity.
Granite is an igneous rock. It is formed when the magma (molten rock) in
the centre of the earth is pushed up under great pressure through faults in the
earths crust.
Where there are also horizontal faults the magma is also forced into
these. The magma cools slowly and crystallises forming Granite. In time the rocks above it erode and the
granite
is exposed on the surface of the earth. It is a very hard rock.
Analysis
Murvey Granite, from near Barna, Co. Galway.
Quartz 40% Si02, Potassium Feldspar 31% KAlSi308, Plagioclase 27%
NaAlSi308,CaAl2Si208, Biotite Chlorite 2% K(Mg,Fe)3(AlSi3010) (0H,F)2.
Within granite there are three radioactive elements:
Potassium 3 - 4% by weight a rays
Uranium 1-10 ppm a, b and g rays
Thorium 10 - 50 ppm a, b and g rays.
I obtained a sample of Granite by breaking through a rock, taking a
piece from the centre which was untouched by human hand. I sent the Granite to the Galen Pharmacy
and had it potentised to 30C.
This was the potency used by all the provers.
The proving was carried out beginning in March 1987, two or three
provings per month, until the final two started in September 1987.
The Provers
Fifteen people proved the remedy, none of whom knew anything about what
they were taking. In fact, very few of
them were familiar with homśopathy. They
lived in various
parts of Ireland.
The provers comprised eight women and seven men, with ages ranging from
20 to 40 years. Some were married, some
single, some with children, some without, and they
were engaged in various occupations.
The nationalities included Irish, English, German, and Dutch.
They were all given a sheet with general headings (as per Kent’s
Repertory) and asked to record all symptoms - physical, emotional, mental,
sleep patterns, dreams, times of
day, modalities, etc. They were
asked to be detailed and specific about the location and types of symptoms
which developed. They were instructed to
take the remedy
3x daily and to stop as soon as definite symptoms appeared. They were also requested to keep a notebook
or diary until they were completely back to normal.
They were asked not to discuss or compare notes with other provers. Most
of the provers did not enjoy the proving, and I was “cursed” quite often during
the course of the proving.
One of them wrote at the end of his notes that he would be willing to be
a guinea pig again as soon as he has retired from active living. Most of the provers contacted me later to
say that they felt much better after the proving than they had done
before, and were very glad that they had done it.
Introduction to the Proving
The following is a list of statements as made by the provers, in their
own words. The statements quoted are the
more descriptive ones. A lot of the
symptoms were recorded
in the form of lists of words; e.g. exhausted, introvert, arrogant,
libido fading, etc.
Where provers used a single word instead of a description I have put the
number of provers who experienced that symptom after the word e.g. Detached 11
provers
Some of the more prominent symptoms were produced by 12 of the 15
provers. Two of the remaining three were
by nature introverted and shy, with not a great deal of energy,
and they experienced an improvement in their general state, although
they did produce many physical symptoms.
The fifteenth prover was a heavy coffee drinker, and I decided
not to ask her to give it up for the proving, as I was interested in
what, if any, effect it would have on the proving. She produced no symptoms whatsoever, although
she stated
that the condition of her skin and hair improved tremendously through
doing the proving.
The effects of the remedy lasted for approximately two months. Most of the provers would at various stages
feel that they were “back to normal” only to find that all the
symptoms recurred two or three days later. The menstrual symptoms lasted for two and, in
some cases, three cycles.

When he had to talk to anyone

she passed on the road because she didn’t have to talk to them.
She found communicating on the phone easy, even enjoyable, because she
could hang up.

sorry for himself.
She was getting very irritable and touchy and finding it easy to erupt;
with this she was feeling feverish on and off all day
She was thinking about her past - saw herself as having been like a
puppy, lapping around the place. She
felt she was growing up. The idea of
herself as the lone wolf
appealed - proud and independent, howling at the moon.
He was getting outbursts of anger in the afternoon - coming in waves.
She was feeling suddenly annoyed in the afternoon between 16 – 18 h.
She had a lot of anger flaring up in the afternoon and was fantasising
having a flaring row with people. She

easy to get into hating
people and would have loved to be able to “lay trips” on everyone.
He got into real bad moods and wanted to bite the head off anyone who
looked sideways at him.
In the afternoon she had an outburst of anger - she could have exploded

She was “pissed off ” and dissatisfied with everything and
everyone. She was full of negativity and

felt. In fact the only thing she cared
about was herself.
She was becoming very insolent and rude when she wanted to be rid of
company and couldn’t care less if she was hurting them.

and laughed a lot at nothing
She was laughing a lot at nonsensical things - almost hysterical.
She would laugh in all the wrong places - like when one of her children
showed her a drawing that was supposed to be taken seriously. Once she started to laugh she
couldn’t stop and would burst into tears.
She knew how much she normally hated arguments. But she was damned if she was going to take
any more shit. She had a big row with
someone and got very emotional
and ended up crying and laughing.
Betrayed, Forsaken
She went out for a walk in the morning to get rid of her headache - it
helped. Coming back she felt near to
tears. She had images of her mother and
was feeling betrayed
and deserted. Her eyes were stinging and she had a lump in her throat
but she couldn’t cry. On getting back
she felt suddenly exhausted and her legs felt wobbly and she was
getting hot and cold flushes. Her
headache was worse again on going inside. She had to sleep for the afternoon.
She felt very “pissed off ” and depressed and didn’t feel like writing -
“Damn the remedy and damn Nuala”. She
had a feeling of profound sadness and felt very alone.
She felt she wanted something - didn’t know what. She couldn’t cry although she thought she
would feel better if she did.

tears welling up behind his eyes but he couldn’t let them out.
She was feeling incredibly vulnerable and was watching everyone else’s
walls and barriers go up.
She wondered “Does anyone else ever listen or care”. Love seemed to be the process of giving with

- her hands were shaking and sweating.
At 20 h. she had a sudden panic attack.
A feeling of anxiety and panic rising up through her from her feet. Great fear for no apparent reason. She felt very restless
and had to keep moving and looking for distraction. She was shaking and trembling all over and
her hands were sweating. She was wishing
she had someone who would
understand to talk to.
Her energy level was high during the period except 16 – 20 h. when she
felt tired and continued to get anxiety/fear attacks. Her sexual energy was very high during her
period.

She felt the need to accumulate money, because something big was about
to happen, she didn’t know what but felt she needed to be
prepared for it.

and he was shaking all over. This came
on suddenly and would go suddenly. He
was restless and did
not know what to do with himself.

Apprehension 6 provers

happen or as if she had something to do and couldn’t remember what.

things.

forgetful.

She felt and smelt several past memories - very vividly. She felt engulfed in water and was not
fighting for air - just letting it happen.
Indecisive, Confidence
She found that trying to make decisions was a great effort - like trying
to fight her way out of a dense thicket.

seem to have any confidence left.
She had no confidence left. This
was totally accentuated in social situations.
Invasion
She felt she was fighting all the time for her own territory.
He felt invaded when anyone visited him.
She was in a foul mood - feeling a lot of hatred for all those
meaningless people who seemed to keep invading her space.
Haughty
His mother came to visit. She was
talking about happenings in his home town.
He felt the claustrophobia of that closed, introverted community. He wanted to scream at
his mother to shut up, that he didn’t want to hear the petty details of
that hemmed-in society. He felt this
with incredible intensity and almost felt like getting sick.
She couldn’t stand crowds and couldn’t make any social effort. People seemed insignificant and petty and
were really draining to be with.
He felt full of contempt for others - they seemed so worthless and
insignificant.
Weeping, Sadness
She shouted a lot at her kids and cried loads of times. Life was very painful. She was crying out of self-pity. Crying out of loneliness. Feeling she was close to no-one.
Crying she couldn’t contain, that seemed to be for the waywardness of
the whole world.
She experienced a deep profound sadness that made her feel intensely Irish. She associated this sadness with the west of
Ireland (this prover is Irish).
She cried and couldn’t stop. It
seemed to come from her soul. She had a
profound feeling of sadness and couldn’t see the point in anything.
She cried twice this day for her own needs. Deep sobs from the pit of her tummy - making
her whole body rock with the urgency of it.
She felt good after it.
She cried a lot and just wanted to lie down all the time.
Suspicious

friends. She felt that others were
trying to manipulate her.
He wondered if he was becoming paranoid, or were other people trying to
pick fights with him.
Miscellanous
He felt there was no pattern or inner dynamism in his life.
He was blaming everyone for the way he felt and he felt totally
justified in feeling that.
Remarks on the Proving
Remarks made by friends and relatives of the provers included statements
such as “He was unbearable to be with” and “couldn’t stand being around him”.
One husband said he was beginning to despair as he couldn’t handle the
withdrawal and coldness of his
wife. Another husband temporarily left
because of his wife’s bluntness and anger.
From my own proving
During my own proving of Granite I had a series of dreams every night
for two weeks.
In these dreams I was following and observing a soldier in Cromwell’s
army as he participated in the invasion and subsequent dispossession of Irish
people of their homes and land.
In the dreams I could intensely feel the guilt of this man. He appeared
to be doing it because as a soldier in the British army he had to and not
because he wanted to.
In the final dream of the series a man came into my dream and said “This
is why you had to study Homeopathy. You had to find Granite and liberate an old
guilt for what happened in the
west of Ireland”
On waking in the morning I had a great sense of freedom – as if a ton
weight that I didn’t know I was carrying had been lifted off me.
A few months later I discovered that the first person of my mother’s
family to settle in Co. Mayo was a soldier from Cromwell’s army (Co. Mayo is
the county I came from)
A note on Oliver Cromwell:
There had been an eleven year rebellion in Ireland, against British
rule. Oliver Cromwell came to Ireland to
put this rebellion down “once and for all”.
He marched on every city, killing
everyone who got in his way. For
example in Drogheda there were 3.000 unarmed civilians and Cromwell’s soldiers
proceeded to kill everyone in sight.
At the end of the day only 30 Irish people remained. In 1652 at the end of the war one third of
the Irish Catholic population had been killed.
Cromwell rewarded his soldiers by giving them
large
tracts of land. In order to achieve this
he evicted Irish people from their homes and land in three of the four
provinces. People were given the option
of moving across the Shannon River into the province of Connaught or die.
His slogan was “To Hell or to Connaught”. A lot of the soldiers who settled in Ireland
married Irish girls and ended up converting to Catholicism and learning the
language (undoubtedly contrary to what Cromwell had hoped for).
And so at the end of the day I was left contemplating my own personal
Miasm or the Miasm of a nation.
