How to Use Citrine – November’s Crystal (Uses + Rituals for Abundance Manifesting) ⋆ Earth and Water

Citrine is the birthstone for November. Latin for “Yellow”. In earlier times, it was referred to as the “Sun stone” believed to hold the power of the sun and the “Merchant’s Stone”, believed to hold the power of manifesting abundance.

Citrine is rarer than many would have you think. Most of what you find is really heat treated amethyst. When heated in the oven at high temperatures, the beautiful purple of the amethyst will turn orange. This breaks my soul. That someone would change something’s natural beauty and purpose so thoughtlessly.

Since color is vibration, it stands to argue that the fake would have similar properties and uses to the real, but the real would be stronger in such. I’m no expert in deciphering the real from the fake but if you look at a few real ones, fake ones and amethyst, you can tell which ones are which.

Sunlight can fade citrine so window sills and vehicles, any where they would be in direct sunlight, aren’t the best places for them.

So let’s explore what this stone is capable of.

Digestion

When you have stomach upset, nausea or the like, place citrine upon your stomach for relief. I’ve also heard of people doing this for PMS symptoms! Give it a try.

Abundance & Manifestation

Keep it in your wallet, on your desk or in your office to bring in prosperity and abundance. Write some intentions and place the crystal on top of them, say a little blessing or prayer.

Creativity

Keep it on your person or close by when indulging in creative practices!

Chakra Balancing

Citrine can be used to clear and aid the solar plexus chakra and the sacral chakra. Place it on the chakra you wish to balance and clear, the solar plexus being just below the ribs in the center of your torso and the sacral chakra being just below the belly button.

Close your eyes and rest a bit like this, allowing the citrine crystal to work it’s magic. You can also help it along by visualizing the chakra clearing, flowing freely and the crystal leaching all of the negative energy and blocks from it.

The power of the mind coincides with creativity and imagination. It’s all about intention. You really can’t do it wrong. Have fun with it.

Confidence

Citrine is a confidence stone. Keep it in your pocket when you have a speach or presentation to give. You can place a citrine stone in your water to charge the water with the vibration of confidence (and everything else that citrine aids) and drink it. Useful, useful in my opinion!

Energizing

Citrine is possibly known best for it’s energizing properties (Or maybe that’s just what I know it best for). Use it, again, to charge your water, place it nearby a place where you tend to get unwanted sleepiness (like during class lectures, *yawn*).

You definitely don’t want it near you in the bedroom.
