Silver is known for enhancing perception and regulating emotional and intuitive energies. It strengthens the connection between the physical and astral bodies, helping to harmonise the subtle energy systems within.
Emotional and Spiritual Benefits:
Silver acts as a mirror to the soul, encouraging self-reflection and awareness. When paired with gemstones, it both attracts and retains the energies of the stone while providing a stabilising, balancing influence. Silver draws negativity from the body and channels the positive energies of other minerals, enhancing emotional clarity and spiritual growth.
Silver is also associated with lunar energy, making it ideal for energising other stones during full and new moons. It supports intuition, calmness, and emotional stability, fostering a deeper connection to one’s inner self.
Physical Healing Benefits:
Silver is believed to cleanse the body through the pores and help eliminate toxins at the cellular level. It has been traditionally used in supporting liver function, increasing assimilation of Vitamins A and E, and improving vision-related conditions.
