Citrine & Candlelight: Journaling Questions to Awaken Abundance | Crystal Healing Blog
There’s a sacred alchemy that blooms when you combine the golden warmth of citrine with the flickering glow of candlelight. As you settle into this luminous ritual—journal open, pen in hand, citrine resting like liquid sunlight on your desk—the stone’s vibrational energy begins to stir your innermost questions. Known as the "Merchant’s Stone" and a beacon of manifestation, citrine doesn’t just illuminate physical spaces—it lights up the shadowed corners of the soul.
Why Citrine? The Metaphysical Compass
Citrine, a variety of quartz with iron impurities that gift its sun-kissed hues, is revered in energy work for its ability to:
- Cleanse stagnant energy (it’s one of the few crystals that never requires clearing!)
- Amplify creativity and personal power through the solar plexus chakra
- Attract wealth and abundance while dissolving scarcity mindsets
- Reignite childlike joy and mental clarity
Preparing Your Sacred Space
Before diving into your journaling session, create an intentional environment:
- Place citrine near your candle (safety first—keep a safe distance from flames!)
- Hold the stone to your solar plexus (upper abdomen) while taking three deep breaths
- Whisper an intention: "Illuminate what needs to be seen."
Energy-Boosting Companions
Pair citrine with grounding stones like black onyx in the Zodiac Black Onyx Bracelet to balance manifestation energy with cosmic wisdom.
7 Journal Prompts to Ask With Citrine’s Guidance
1. "Where am I withholding my inner light?"
Citrine dissolves imposter syndrome. As its golden rays permeate your energy field, notice where you downplay achievements or mute your voice. Write freely about the fears behind this self-diminishing pattern.
2. "What abundance already flows through my life?"
This stone reframes scarcity into gratitude. List non-monetary forms of wealth—love, health, opportunities—then watch how this mindset attracts material prosperity.

3. "What creative project is begging to be born?"
Citrine activates the sacral chakra’s creative potential. Sketch ideas without self-editing—the stone’s energy neutralizes perfectionism.
4. "When did I last feel truly playful?"
The crystal’s link to solar energy reignites childlike wonder. Describe an activity that once brought you joy but now feels "frivolous." Commit to resurrecting it.
5. "What false narratives about money do I cling to?"
Write family phrases about wealth you unconsciously adopted (“Money is evil,” “Rich people are greedy”). Citrine helps rewrite these stories with empowering beliefs.

Closing the Ritual: Sealing Your Intentions
After writing, fold your citrine into the journal’s pages overnight. Let its energy imprint your words. The next morning, read your entries aloud while holding the stone—vocal vibrations magnify citrine’s manifesting power.

The Ripple Effect of Citrine Clarity
Revisit these questions monthly. With time, you’ll notice subtle shifts—easier decision-making, unexpected opportunities, a sunnier disposition. For deeper work, pair citrine with Multi-Circle Amethyst to blend manifestation with spiritual insight.
Remember: Citrine doesn’t just reflect light—it teaches you to become the light source. Through these candlelit conversations, you’re not just writing in a journal... You’re rewriting your destiny.
