Citrine works its magic by helping you to release negativity, bringing optimism and joy into the life of anyone working with these little pieces of crystal sunshine! Whether you’re using this crystal to manifest more happiness, abundance, or creativity in your life, a great step to boost your connection with your Citrine is to use it with intention. Working with a crystal with intention can take many shapes, such as programming your crystal or mineral before carrying it, placing it in a grid, or wearing it. Programming can be simplified into the concept of imbuing it with a particular purpose, by visualizing your intended energy flowing from your body into the crystal host. For example, while programming a Citrine with the intention of drawing happiness towards you, think only of the goal of your happiness. You can imagine this joyful energy as a glowing golden light being transmitted from your mind directly into your Citrine crystal, and envision that light illuminating the path to a brighter future. If you’re using Citrine for abundance, a great option is to add it into a crystal grid! Either place a single piece in the center of your grid, or choose an even number of small pieces to boost your grid’s intention. If you’re thinking of using Citrine’s natural ability to get creativity flowing and help criticisms roll off your back, perhaps wearing Citrine or mindfully placing it around your home may be the best for you. Be sure to program your pieces to boost your desired intention before wearing or decorating your home as described below!
