Citrine: let in the light

Citrine is often called the merchant stone because it has historically been known as the strongest crystal for manifestation and wealth. Since the beginning of cash drawers, Citrine has been kept by merchants in this space to help grow more money and prosperity in their business.

And to understand why, you must first understand Citrine’s energy.

Citrine holds within the energy of the sun. It is warm, optimistic and LIFE GIVING. Think for a minute about the energy of the sun. Without this LIGHT, there is nothing. Light grows new beginnings, beauty, abundance and full potential. Pause and take that in for a beat (gratitude for our beloved sun, first of all, and second of all, there is a crystal that matches this energy?!).

Citrine is energizing, mood brightening, confidence boosting and crazy creative. It is a quartz variety that has a naturally occurring champagne yellow hue. Yellow- being the color of power, will and manifestation- brings these solar plexus energies into an already amplifying quartz crystal. This makes for a supercharged manifesting tool! Add to this Citrine’s bright and sunny nature, and you’ve got a dangerous combination of calling in anything you desire, my friend. 

Citrine says: Why waste a gorgeous day focusing on a few clouds? Did you notice everything else that is positively dripping in magic- just for YOU?!

It could be argued that this bright, optimistic energy that is overflowing with appreciation is the reason Citrine’s frequency is so beneficial to manifestation practices. When your energy is optimistic, you are in a receiving state, not only noticing and appreciating the wonder that surrounds you, but you are actively looking for it. You know the world is a magical place, because you are honed in on it. When in this energy, you become a magnet for more magic, more wonder. You are in a receiving frequency, your point of attraction is pure abundance.

This is what makes Citrine so special. It’s energy brightens any situation, helps you see the good, helps you shine more radiantly, and as a result, helps you become a magnet for more GOOD. Like attracts like…what you focus on grows…add your favorite well known mantra here- Citrine is the physical crystalline form of these truths. 

In the study of manifestation, every teacher will tell you keeping a high vibration that’s focused on fun, joy and appreciation is essential to creating the dream you desire. Because what you desire is always better than what is now. So your energy, your focus, must be set to see and choose better than is now. Begin to notice all the amazingness in your space- all the good fortune, all the beauty, all the things that seem to just work out- that is always there, but we forget to see.

This is of course a practice, and Citrine is your best friend in this task. We know that crystals act as a tuning fork for our own energy to match. Working with Citrine’s contagious optimism, joy and appreciation will help your energy rise to this frequency, allowing you to be receptive to all the good you are seeking.

Whether you are manifesting riches, or just need a mood boost, look to Citrine to literally brighten your day.
