Lets Talk About Citrine ~ The Stone of Success

I have to admit, I have a few pieces of this remarkable stone! I love it and use it frequently! Citrine comes in a yellowish color and can be found in a polished form, rough and cluster. It is actually form of quartz. 

 Citrine is often called the merchants stone because it is said to be especially good for success and money issues; and as such this is what I primarily use mine for! In feng shui, it can be placed in the "wealth corner" of your home or business to attract money and success. We can put a piece in our wallets or purse, and even in the cash register if you own a business. 


But this stone has many more uses other than abundance, prosperity, success and finance! It can also be used to increase your intuition and mental clarity for example. This stone can help with emotional healing as it decreases negative thoughts and helps to improve our sense of well-being. 

It is said that Citrine will not absorb negative energies; and yet it is ideal for eliminating negative energies. It can help those who have lower self esteem or those that need to increase their self-love. Do you doubt yourself? Or just feeling like you are unloved? Try meditating with a piece of Citrine.

Because this is a stone to remove negative crud in our lives, it can also be extremely beneficial for someone dealing with addictions of any type. I think in situations to eliminate the addiction, it might have some beneficial properties by placing in under the pillow when sleeping or wearing in the form of a necklace.

Since Citrine is a yellow colored stone, it is also used in chakra healing and is most suitable for the solar plexus chakra. This chakra focuses on your creativity and sense of self. 

One way to use Citrine for healing would be to meditate with it. You can place the stone directly on the area of your body for the solar plexus chakra, or even just hold it in your dominant hand as you meditate. Another way you can bring this crystal into your life is by wearing it in the form of jewelry; such as a pendant on a necklace.
