This post is focused specifically on guiding you through your new Citrine element. If you are looking for general information about crystals, check out our Crystals 101 guide.

Restorative Properties of Citrine

Citrine is known for its restorative properties. It is believed to be great for overall empowerment.

Many have used citrine to improve overall health and resolve feelings of confusion or anger. If you have just generally been feeling down lately or just seem a bit off, citrine just might be the right crystal for you.

Citrine is associated with:

Trust
Wealth
Confidence
Prosperity
Self-esteem

These associations are what citrine is revered for. It can empower you through various aspects of your life, leaving you feeling readjusted and back on the right path.

Citrine is primarily aligned with the solar plexus chakra. If you feel that you’ve been struggling to tell when someone is being authentic or if you’re just generally unsure of yourself, citrine can help to realign this chakra. Realignment will leave you feeling comfortable in your own skin and fully trusting of the people in your life.

Cleansing Your Citrine Element

Crystals are most effective when they are balanced with positive energy. It responds to the environment it’s in and what it comes into contact with. Because of this, there is a chance your element could accumulate some negative energy during shipping and handling.

To rid your element of any negative energy, before you start using it engage with one of the following methods to recharge your citrine with positive energy.

The first method you can use is by running it through the smoke of burning sage. You could either burn a bundle of sage or use sage incense. What is important is that your element is coming into contact with the smoke of the sage. Put your element through the smoke a few times to ward off any negative energy.

The next method you can use is moonlight. When the moon is visible (full moons are particularly powerful), let your element sit overnight in the light to recharge it.

A final method you can use is running it through a natural stream of water. This can either be done in a stream near your house or using bottled spring water. Make sure the element is fully dry before you begin using it.

After this initial cleanse, you’ll want to periodically use any of these methods to recharge the crystal after using it. If your element starts to look like it’s getting cloudy, that is a great indicator that it’s time for another cleanse. You could also keep track of when the full moon is and recharge it then.

Using Citrine to Gain Prosperity

Now that you’ve gotten your element prepped for use, you might be wondering how it works or what you do next.

The first step to using any crystal is going to be keeping an open mind. If you are going into this process with skepticism of the crystal’s abilities, you will not experience its full effects. Allow yourself to accept the guidance and empowerment of the citrine.

Once you’ve opened your mind to it, you will want to set a specific intention for how you want to use your element. This is typically related to the properties and associations we discussed above.

For citrine, you might set an intention that promotes good health through stressful times. You could also focus your intention of helping you to release any unresolved feelings of anger towards situations that are out of your control.

After deciding what your intention will be, hold your element in your hand and repeat the intention into the element a few times. This charges the element with the specific use you intend for it. When you wear your element, keep your intention in mind and make decisions that align with it.
