A subscriber recently asked about the energy of silver. What a great question. Here's what the Silver Consciousness has to say about the nature of silver, including some of its healing properties and a few ways to work with it.
Shortly after we worked with the Gold Consciousness to preview the energy of 2023, a subscriber wrote to ask about the energy of silver. Huh. I guess I was so dumbfounded that gold would want to weigh in on a post that I didn't even think to question whether gold's energy would be different from the energy of another metal. The answer is yes, it is.
I happen to have an antique silver coin that has been around for a while (since the 3rd century CE, to be exact). It is my biggest piece of silver and the one I'm most connected to, so I figured it might have something to say about the nature of silver. I wasn't disappointed.
My silver coin pendant also asked me to work with it more, which isn't an uncommon request in my weird woo life. Crystals, and metals too, it seems, were seeded on the Earth to, among other things, provide tools and help balance physical creation. They like to work. So, I hope you enjoy this post. I'll just be over here, meditating with silver.
Hello. Can you tell me about the nature of silver?
You already know intuitively that the energy of silver is feminine. It is an aspect of the divine feminine and carries some of its qualities: reception; nurturing; and creativity.
Silver is also connected to the moon and therefore to the lunar cycle. You're thinking about gold and how the chief quality of gold is oneness. Well, at its core, the nature of silver is being in tune with the natural cycles of your world. Being in tune with your essential feminine self. Being connected to all others but in the receptive, creative aspect of your character.
Creation, reception, wisdom, teaching, refining—these are all aspects that describe the energy of silver. If gold represents the oneness of all things, silver represents the creative, receptive energy of the soul.
What should we know about the nature of silver?
You should know that, unlike gold, the nature of silver allows for an individual personality in a piece of silver. This is due to the creative aspect of energy that silver expresses. Indeed, working with silver tends to bring out the quality of creativity in your own soul pattern.
You should also know that silver enhances and refines the vibration of the stones that it is combined with. Therefore, silver makes a uniquely suitable medium for setting gemstones. Silver can combine its vibration with the vibration of the gemstone set within it. The resulting vibration is a purer, more powerful expression of the gemstone's vibration. To the gemstone’s vibration is added the vibration of feminine wisdom, creativity, and reception.
Do we need to clear the energy of silver in the same way we clear our crystals?
Yes, silver energy does need to be cleared from time to time. You can clear silver’s energy with running water, smoke, or sound.
Does silver have healing qualities?
Working with silver can re-energize your physical being. Its energy pattern can help to organize the pattern of your own energy in such a way as to help maintain vibrancy. While there is no such thing as a fountain of youth, silver can help to keep your physical tissues in good running order.
You may already know that silver has antiseptic properties. This is a part of that quality of keeping your tissues running optimally.
Fascinating. What is the best way for us to work with silver?
Working with silver is no different than working with your crystals. You may hold a piece of silver in your receptive hand and meditate with it. You may wear it. You may combine it with other stones. For example:
Silver and moonstone together are an optimal pairing for those who are interested in working with the divine feminine, or who want to work with the cycles of nature. Both silver and moonstone call down the energy of Luna, the moon, which is another aspect of the divine feminine. Indeed, the moon rules the cycles of your natural world.
Wearing a silver pendant over the heart chakra—particularly when combined with a pink stone—will be an aide and support to the energy of the heart. It will add the vibration of the divine feminine to the heart chakra, and thus help the heart chakra to function more optimally.
