Citrine, the golden beacon of the crystal kingdom, has long been revered as a stone of manifestation, vitality, and spiritual sunshine. Known as the "Merchant’s Stone" for its association with wealth and success, this radiant crystal carries the warm frequencies of solar energy, making it an exceptional ally for those seeking to align with their personal power and cultivate joy. In this practice, we’ll explore how to activate Citrine’s vibrant energy through breathwork, designed to awaken your solar plexus chakra and dissolve energetic blockages.
Citrine resonates with the frequency of abundance in all forms – financial prosperity, creative inspiration, and emotional fulfillment. Its warming energy:
- Stimulates confidence and personal will
- Dissipates fear of scarcity or self-doubt
- Enhances mental clarity and motivation
- Cleanses stagnant energy from the aura
- Encourages playfulness and childlike wonder
For those feeling weighed down by life’s pressures, carrying a Citrine bracelet or placing raw Citrine in your space can serve as a constant reminder of your innate luminosity.
Preparing Your Sacred Space
Begin by creating an environment that supports energetic flow:
- Cleanse your Citrine under moonlight or with sage smoke
- Arrange supportive crystals like Amethyst clusters for spiritual protection
- Light a golden or yellow candle to enhance solar energy
- Wear loose clothing that doesn’t restrict diaphragm movement
The Solar Plexus Activation Breath
This 4-stage practice aligns with Citrine’s natural rhythm – building energy, crystallizing intention, radiating abundance, and grounding light:
Stage 1: Igniting the Inner Sun (3 minutes)
Hold your Citrine over your navel while practicing Kapalabhati breath:
- Sharp exhalations through the nose (1 per second)
- Passive inhalations
- Visualize golden light pooling at your solar plexus
Stage 2: Golden Thread Visualization (5 minutes)
Transition to deep 4-7-8 breathing (inhale 4 counts, hold 7, exhale 8) while imagining:
- A thread of citrine light connecting your heart to the earth’s core
- Warmth spreading through your limbs like liquid sunlight
- Whispers of gratitude with each exhale
Stage 3: Spiral of Abundance (7 minutes)
Using circular breathing (no pause between inhale/exhale):
Envision Citrine energy spiraling outward from your body, attracting opportunities. For enhanced manifestation, pair with lucky charm jewelry during this phase.
Stage 4: Anchoring the Light (5 minutes)
Return to natural breath while holding Citrine in both hands. Sense how the crystal’s vibration has amplified your own energy field. For deeper grounding, incorporate volcanic stone bracelets during this integration phase.
