Here on the last few hours of the longest day of the year, an ally reminded me of its resonance with the energy of the summer solstice. Recently stones with the golden ray have been getting my attention, and today citrine continues that trend. Much cheaper citrine, know as “common” is actually heat treated amethyst, appearing more orangey or rusty colored. It still works, but not with as much strength. Of course stones are heated within the earth, and irradiated, but natural citrine has a more powerful energy and is more yellow or golden, and clearer. Aligning with the element of fire, citrine is considered a stone of the 3rd chakra. But it also acts on the 1st, 2nd, opening doorways to activate these centers harmoniously.
This yellow stone invites spirit into the physical world, awakening our creative joy into higher levels of awareness. Working with citrine will lead us to greater dynamic will and enhanced ability to bring forth our desires and dreams directly from the clarity of our imagination. Citrine brings the power of personal will to bear and works for us— fostering clarity, imagination, and support of our creative actions. With this stone in hand, we see we are deserving of what we want, feelings of unworthiness dissipate, so we have the necessary confidence to initiate the changes or steps we want to take. And citrine helps us dig deep within ourselves for our inner resources, and persist, without giving up. Citrine say, “It is safe to be powerful!”
Physically, citrine helps us with out stamina, and energy levels, as it balances hormones and increases metabolism. Use it to help with digestive disorders, and urinary tract problems. The emotional courage citrine share with us helps alleviate depression and perseverating negative thoughts. This stone is an important manifestation stone, helping us get clear with our intentions, and decisions. The flow of golden energetic light surrounds us and fills us when citrine becomes our ally.
