I met Elaine (a.k.a Faerie Elaine) Silver in the 1980’s if memory serves; but I can’t recall who the matchmaker was that brought us together. I was drawn to the music and the magic that seemed to flow effortlessly through her and recognized a kindred spirit.\u00a0 We share a connection with the faerie realm and a mutual love of folk music, nature and a sweet Jewish mother named Delane Lipka who owns Mt. Eden Retreat in Washington, NJ.<\/strong><\/div>\n
<\/strong>\u00a0<\/div>\n
How do you live your bliss?<\/strong>
\nI live my bliss by doing activities that I really enjoy doing, and by being in a place of conscious awareness and JOY!\u00a0 I sincerely believe that Joy is the highest measure of success, and it is my Passion to be in Joy and to enjoy life. \u00a0 I know it’s not always easy, especially when life shows us what seems to be contrary to Joy.\u00a0 I do my best to trust the process, get out of the way and know the Truth that all is well and will be well.\u00a0 My intention is to remember that what is in front of me is my Divine appointment.\u00a0 I am grateful that I know the power of Shifting off of what is not wanted and Shifting into better-feeling thoughts and Intentions.\u00a0 Tapping into Spirit each morning is an important way to set the tone for the day.<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
What led you to the magical music you create?<\/strong>
\nMy music is really a ministry, and I have studied and loved metaphysics and Truth principles for years.\u00a0 It has been a way for me to follow my bliss, and when I am in that place of co-creating music (or anything), nothing feels better.\u00a0 Much of my music has come from a very dark place, and that is the double-edged sword of being an artist.\u00a0 Hell, as a state of mind, is where many people find God.\u00a0 So when I am in that place, I am usually isolated and thoughts begin to come to me in rhyme and rhythm.\u00a0 I may be feeling low, but I know the Truth, and I know my Intentions and what I want, so I begin to affirm this.\u00a0 This automatically causes me to feel better and better.\u00a0 I now have new material that is uplifting and the creative process takes on a life of its own.\u00a0 It is a way to remember to trust and know that all is well.\u00a0 My songs and projects are magical in that way.<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
How did the persona of Faerie Elaine come to be?<\/strong>
\nThis is a long story that I recently put on my website.\u00a0 I wrote an article a few years back entitled “Faeries Are Gathering,” and for anyone interested, please go to the link at www.elainesilver.com\/id42.html<\/a>.\u00a0 It all began in Northern New Jersey in the early ’90s, and it came at a very powerful time.\u00a0 The Faeries have brought me fun, joy, creativity, prosperity and a way into “adults’ hearts” through their children.\u00a0 It has been quite a ride that I am still enjoying!<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
Who are some of the movers and shakers with whom you’ve shared a stage?<\/strong>
\nIn terms of authors, I have worked along side of Alan Cohen many times beginning in 1997.\u00a0 He is the one who encouraged me to look into Abraham-Hicks, my most powerful teacher, to date.\u00a0 Other greats include Wayne Dyer, don Miguel Ruiz, Marianne Willaimson, Deepak Chopra, Barbara G Walker and Neale Donald Walsch.\u00a0 Here are a few endorsements:<\/p>\n
\u201cElaine Silver’s music opens my heart, big time.\u00a0 Treat yourself to the riches of her soul.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
-Alan Cohen, best-selling author, The Dragon Doesn’t Live Here Anymore\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n

\n<\/span><\/div>\n
\u201c…Fantastic!\u00a0 That was one of those moments, when she was singing I Will, and the room — there was one heartbeat in this room.\u00a0 It was one of those moments that we live for.\u00a0 That was so beautiful.\u00a0 Wasn’t that gorgeous?\u00a0 Elaine Silver.\u201d<\/span><\/div>\n
-Marianne Williamson, best-selling author, A Woman’s Worth<\/span><\/div>\n

\n<\/span><\/div>\n
\u201cElaine Silver’s music has the power to induce you into a deep state of Love.\u201d<\/span><\/div>\n
-don Miguel Ruiz, best-selling author, The Four Agreements<\/span><\/div>\n

\n<\/span><\/div>\n
\u201c…great! …wonderful!\u00a0 …fantastic!\u201d \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span>\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
-Neale Donald Walsch, best-selling author, Conversations With God<\/span><\/div>\n

\n<\/span><\/div>\n
\u201cMetaphysical singer Elaine Silver has a voice like a sweet bell.\u00a0 In fact, I never metaphysical singer like her.\u201d<\/span> \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
-Swami Beyondananda,\u00a0 Cosmic Comic and Author<\/span><\/div>\n

\n<\/span><\/div>\n
\u201cThis is the voice of an angel… She sings about everyday life, love, the Earth, the Universe and…\u00a0 Heaven.\u00a0 It is a relief to hear these positive words.\u201d \u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
-Roger Nupie, Spokesman, International Nina Simone Society<\/span><\/div>\n

\n<\/span><\/div>\n
“Elaine Silver is a beautiful musical conduit for transformational singing. Hear voice is as clear and pure as her soul and her songs will make you tingle all over with heavenly energy. She is a mesmerizing artist with essential gifts to share.”<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
-John Maxwell Taylor, author of The Power of I Am \u00a0
\n<\/span><\/div>\n

\n<\/span><\/div>\n

“…a wonderful compendium of love and sweet songs by one of America’s most talented singers.”<\/em>
\n-Barbara G. Walker, author, The Women’s Encyclopedia of Myths and Secrets
\n<\/span>
\nAlso, as the “Folk Music Queen of New Jersey,” a title bestowed upon me by George Kanzler of the NJ Star-Ledger, I have worked with many great Folk performers, including the following, which is a small smattering:
\nArlo Guthrie, Pete Seeger, Willy Dixon, Tom Paxton, <\/span>John Sebastian, Jorma Kaukonan, Leo Kotke, Doc Watson, John Prine and many more.<\/p>\n

What guides you spiritually?<\/strong>
\nWhat continues to guide me spiritually are the following:
\nMy connection with Spirit on a daily basis
\nNew Thought and Ancient Wisdom Philosophy
\nTruth teachings
\nMy Intention for conscious awareness
\nThe ability and desire for shifting to better-feeling thoughts
\nKindred Spirits; my family of choice<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u00a0<\/div>\n
I know you are also a certified Passion Test facilitator. Can you speak about about it and how you used it to create the life you are now living?<\/strong>
\nThe Passion Test is about getting clear about our intentions for our lives, and putting our attention on these passionate and most important desires and intentions.\u00a0 It has helped me and others stay open to what is and going with the Flow of life.\u00a0 It is about allowing life to unfold, and for me in particular, it has helped me to be aware of any tension that I have used in the past to make things happen.\u00a0 This behavior ultimately cause exhaustion and depletion and I am a perfect example of this.\u00a0 I am so glad that I have gained this distinction for myself, which is really teaching me about trusting and knowing all is well.<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
Elaine will be performing along with Deva Troy, at Pebble Hill Church (an interfaith community in Doylestown, PA) on Saturday July 30th at 7:30 pm www.pebblehillchurch.org<\/a><\/div>\n
