How Do You Clean Your Citrine Crystal?
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:
- Use sage. The first method you can use to cleanse a Citrine crystal is by running it through the smoke of burning sage. You could either burn a bundle of sage or use sage incense. The smoke of sage is believed to ward off negative energy. If you do use this method, make sure you are burning sage responsibly! If you've never done this before, we recommend doing research first or trying one of the other methods for cleansing.
- Charge in the moonlight. You can use moonlight to charge your Citrine crystal with positive energy. Find a place in your home that has access to the moon's light and leave your crystal there overnight. The best time to do this is during a full moon when it's most powerful.
- Use running water. The final method we recommend for cleansing Citrine crystals are to put them under running water. Preferably, you would use a natural source of water, like a stream. However, streams are readily accessible for most people. Instead, it's completely fine to use bottled spring water or tap water! Hold your element under your chosen running water source for a few minutes to get rid of negative energy. Make sure your Citrine crystal is fully dry before you start wearing 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.
How Do You Heal With Citrine?
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.
