THE HEALING POWER OF METAL

AN OVERLOOKED ENERGY SOURCE

All things are made of energy. Our breath, our bodies, the
floor, our very flesh and everything is energy. If you look at
a still rock under a microscope you will see it's alive and
moving. So it shouldn't come to anyone's surprise that
metal has energy.
When people think of energy healing, they often think of
Reiki, gems, crystals and meditation. Sure all of the above
are awesome, but many tend to over look a huge
energetic powerhouse: Metals.
Metals are everywhere. And each type of metal has it's
own energetic abilities. Paired with the right gemstone or
mineral, you could have a powerful amulet that helps you
in healing or protection or just day to day activities.

WORKING WITH METALS

I have a true story to tell you. My mother was in a nursing
home--I visited her almost every day. My demanding work
schedule made it to where I couldn't take care of her 24/7
and survive. So she was in a home.
I would often bring my gems and stuff to make jewelry
while she would crochet. One day, I had some 14K gold
filled wire to play with and wire wrapped a Herkimer
Diamond.
Herkimers are intense. They are a form of quartz, and this
particular gem was like a concentrated source of energy.
Quartz, and Herkimers, amplify energy. And that day I was
wrapping a Herkimer in 14K Gold.
I got so hot that the nurse was worried.

WORKING WITH METALS

Let me take your temp," she said. She wanted to make
sure that I wasn't sick because back then H1N1 was in the
news. So I let her take my temp. It was 106. She took it
two more times to be sure.
"

I wasn't sick--just hot. I told her let me get some air and
come back. She took it one more time after about 10
minutes and it was back down to 96 which is my normal
temp.
I started working with the jewelry again and not even five
minutes later I was hot. She took my temp again and my
mother figured out what was happening. Working with
the gold elevated my temperature.
One of the many properties of gold is warmth. It will add
that warmth of the sun to anything around it. Add in the
firepower of a Herkimer diamond, you have intense
energy going on.

PROJECTIVE AND RECEPTIVE.

Two main categories of energy are Projective, also known
as Male, or receptive, also known as Female.
Along with the five elements, (Earth, Fire, Water, Air,
Storm or Spirit) you have the classification of either
Receptive or Projective--this applies to gemstones,
minerals, and yes, metals. Gold is projective. And that day,
I was feeling the heat.
Copper is receptive and so is Silver. These two paired
together with a stone such as Moldavite, a rare tektite
that is a Storm element stone, has an intense healing
energy as well as a fiery awakening energy.
Silver is a metal that has a cooling feel to it while Gold is
hot. These two paired together tame each others intense
sides and whatever stone it's paired with will intensify one
or both of the metals depending on if the stone is
projective or receptive.

TYPES OF METALS
There are many types of metals and I am going to list the
ones I've come across or, in the case of Platinum, want to
come across.
The Metals I will talk about are:
Copper
Silver
Gold
Rose Gold
Titanium
Platinum
Iron
Brass
Hematite
Aluminum
Bronze
Stainless Steel
Many metals are protective and some, like Aluminum, are
great at hiding your energy to protect you from those who
wish you evil

COPPER
From arthritis pain to the blood in our bodies, copper is
the major metal many turn to. Humans have been using
copper pretty much since our very existence.
Copper is not just a metal but it's also an essential mineral
to all plants and animals. Even humans need it--it's often
found in our blood.
If you cut your mouth or gum, you will often taste copper.
Our blood has a coppery taste.
Copper gets it's healing power from it's ability to conduct
electricity and vital life energy (Chi, Prana, etc). Copper is
one of my favorite metals to wrap gemstones in simply
because it will absorb the energy of the stone and
transmit it to the wearer's energy field.
Copper amplifies the flow of energy anywhere especially
in the body of the person who is wearing copper. Copper
is a grounding metal and works well with the Base and
Sacral Chakras.

COPPER
When copper starts to turn green, that simply means it's
time to clean the toxins it pulled from your body. You can
do that with ketchup, tomato juice, lemon juice, lime
juice, Coca Cola or anything acidic.
I once stunned a couple of customers at my old job in
Atlanta by shining a copper penny with a small packet of
ketchup. It's all in the chemistry.
Copper has a receptive energy meaning that the person
working with copper will receive the healing energy of
copper.
Copper is also associated with the Element Water and the
Goddess Venus. One of the major benefits of Copper is
healing of blood and circulation diseases.
Many people with arthritis wear copper bands around
their arms.

SILVER
Silver is a powerful metal that invokes intuition, dreams,
love, and protection.
Many countries use silver as some form of currency, so it's
no wonder why silver will attract the energy of prosperity
to while meditating.
Silver is also great with healing aids in sending healing
energy--especially if a gemstone/mineral that is wrapped
or set in silver is being sent to the person who needs the
healing.
In fact, Silver is antibacterial and has often been used in
medicine in the past.
Cyrus the Great, a Persian king who ruled between
550=529 BC, set up one of the first health boards and
established a medical dispensary.
Drinking water was drawn from a special stream, then it
was boiled and stored in huge silver containers.

SILVER
In 1884, Dr.Carl Siegmund Franz Cred, a German
gynecologist and obstetrician who received his doctorate
from the University of Berlin, introduced the use of Silver
nitrate eyedrops as an antiseptic for the prevention of
ophthalmia neonatorum in newborns.
He used a 2% silver nitrate solution and treated 1,160
newborns. Only two infants still developed the disease.
Later, the solution was diluted to 1% and is now
considered a standard practice in obstetrics.
Silver is associated with the Moon Goddess and is
receptive/feminine. The element associated with silver is
Water.
Silver has this soothing and calm energy where as Gold is
more powerful and intense. Silver, a metal of the
emotions, amplifies the energy of any gemstone it is set
in--minerals too.

GOLD
Gold is a projective metal that has been associated over
the millennia with everything to do with health, wealth,
and growth.
It has been imitated, coveted, minted into money, made
into jewelry, used in spaceships, and even the ancient
Sumerians detail the history of aliens coming to earth for
it.
Ancient Egyptians used it for their teeth, and even used it
for medicinal purposes as well as spiritual purposes.
Romans would use it to treat ulcers and
Over 5,000 years ago, the Egyptians used gold in dentistry
and ingested it for mental, bodily, and spiritual
purification.

GOLD
Gold is associated with the Sun and has Fire as it's
element. Gold has a healing energy that doubles as a
power amp.
It protects and opens you up to wisdom, prosperity, and
all round success. Gold inspires virtue, moral excellence
and nobility of the mind.
Gold also lends a cheering influence to the wearer and
promotes positive thinking/attitudes.
In healing Gold's energy also doubles as a power
amplifier. Any gemstone set in gold even if plated or filled,
will have it's energy doubled.
Gold is projective, meaning that when you are meditating,
focus on what you want and see yourself achieving your
goals. See yourself doing rather than getting.

ROSE GOLD
Rose Gold is a beautiful shade of rose. It's a result from the
mixing of Copper and Gold.
Copper is receptive. Gold is Projective. Both give you and
help you to receive and attract wealth, abundance,
healing and all around good energy.
Copper is known for it's conductivity and Gold is known
for being a metal that represents the sun, health and
prosperity.

TITANIUM
Titanium is a chemical element that can be a tad bit
radioactive if all the right elements are present.
Fortunately, in jewelry making, none of that is necessary.
Titanium is a light and strong metal that you can use
while meditating. It helps all mental abilities and gifts.
It keeps you in sync with those closest to you. It's also free
meaning that you will feel freer.
It helps those with claustrophobia and other fears.
Titanium promotes honesty, independence and
spirituality.
Titanium is also all about promoting growth and has
inflammatory properties. It helps with any bacterial
infections and strengthens the heart.
Titanium also protects the aura and works very well with
gemstones such as Moldavite and Phenakite as they pack
a powerful energetic punch to anything harming the one
the metal is defending.

PLATINUM
Platinum, a beautiful silvery grey, almost golden metal
(depending on how the light hits it) harmonizes with our
bodies very well and will not react with it, which is why
it's often used by science and medicine as replacement
for bone.
The metal has a slow energy that allows you to relax while
keeping your chemical imbalances and hormones in
check. It also helps with your heart and circulatory
system.
Platinum's sense of time is timeless and encourages one
to think in hindsight. It's great for meditations and to
keep you on your true path.
Platinum, however, is a rare and pricey metal. I once had
someone ask for a quote for a large cut and faceted
emerald wrapped in platinum. After conferring with an
actual mining company I had to quote him $50K. I hope
to work with platinum one day, though.
Platinum heals on an energetic level, especially any auric
wounds or holes.

IRON
Iron is a metal found in many minerals such as Hematite
and Magnetite.
It's a very protective metal and it's also found in the
human body; in our blood.
The coppery taste of blood comes from iron. It's also
found in many plants such as spinach and kale.
Iron's planet is Mars, which is a Fire element planet.
It's a metal that meteorites are made up of with mixes of
different elements here and there.
Iron is a grounding metal that protects and neutralizes
any type of energy.
Just like Magnetite, it balanced everything out. It also
forms a circle of protection for the person wearing or
working with it.

BRASS
Brass is a projective metal that is also associated with
Gold and can be used as a substitute for gold when using
the Law of Attraction in meditations to attract wealth and
abundance.
Brass, with the element of fire, doesn't have any planetary
associations. No, Brass is a star. It's associated with our
Sun.
Brass has many of the properties of gold and is projective.
It aids in healing, and offers protection.
If you want to attract money, wear Citrine or Cinnabar
wrapped in Brass or Gold filled wire. Most Gold filled wire
is made with Brass as the metal inside the Gold.

HEMATITE
Hematite is actually a mineral but I have wrapped with
Aluminum coated in Hematite which is pretty cool.
Hematite is a receptive element that is found on both
Earth and Mars, which is really interesting because the
Celestial body that Hematite is associated with is Mars.
Hematite's element is Fire.
Hematite is a grounding metal/mineral that protects and
detoxifies.
Hematite is a protective element that also cleanses the
blood and helps ease away any type of pain.

ALUMINUM
Aluminum is a projective energy that will shield your own
energy.
It's is in a sense, an invisibility cloak that deflects energy
being sent your way. In jewelry, it will always protect the
wearer.
There's even wallets made from Aluminum which will
protect any credit card number--again acting as an
invisibility shield.
The planet associated with Aluminum is Mercury and it's
Element is Air.
Aluminum also enhances mental abilities such as
intellect and telepathy.
It protects during astral travel and is your best friend
when visualizing in meditation aka seeing yourself doing
something good and positive.

ALUMINUM
Aluminum is the most abundant metallic element on
earth and also the moon.
All rocks and gemstones contain aluminosilicate minerals
and so does the human body.
It's a calming metal that also helps those who are
"looking for themselves" while keeping you rooted in
reality.
It also helps you recognize illusions whether someone is
trying to deceive you or whether you are trying to deceive
yourself.

BRONZE
When I first wirewrapped with Bronze, I thought I was
lifting weights.
Bronze, is the toughest metal out there and it's tough
because it is a mixture of tin and copper.
Tin's planet is Jupiter which is known for abundance.
Copper, being receptive will help you receive any of the
good energies of Bronze.
Bronze is a soothing metal-strong and calm. It's protective
and has all the properties of copper with the added
strength of tin.
Plus, it looks cool when it turns. It's about the color of
Rose Gold (copper mixed with Gold)

STAINLESS STEEL
Steel is the strongest form of iron. I'm including it since a
lot of jewelry is made from it.
If you have allergies, steel is usually the best metal to
wear, plus stainless steel will never go dull.
It will always have that shiny sparkle.
It's a great metal that protects from all forms of psychic
attacks or anything that would drain you of energy-mental, physical, emotional and spiritual.
Wearing stainless steel jewelry is like wearing a barrier of
protection while looking stylish.
