3 simple methods to cleanse Citrine
Citrine is such a positive crystal that you want to bring that energy to a cleansing. Keeping your routine simple will help you not feel overwhelmed and find enjoyment in cleansing and connecting to your crystals.
The three simple methods to cleanse your Citrine are:
- Water
- Sound
- Breath
Creating a cleansing routine with one of these methods should be an empowering experience. Let’s explore how to cleanse your Citrine.
How to cleanse your Citrine crystal
Method 1: Cleanse your Citrine using water
Water is a beautiful cleanser for your Citrine. If you have a natural water source such as a stream, pond, or creek, even better. If you don’t, water from a faucet will work just as well.
Water cleansing will wash away the toxic, negative energies your Citrine has absorbed and leave it fresh and balanced.
Start by setting your intentions. This is always an important step. You want your crystal to know that it’s time to let go of those heavy, stagnant energies and be renewed. Then hold your Citrine under the water, whether it’s a natural source, a running faucet or a bowl of water.
Make sure the water touches every inch of the crystal, close your eyes and envision that the water is washing away the unwanted energies and is revitalized. Do this for a minute; you can always take a little longer if you feel intuitively that your crystal needs a little extra tender loving care. Pat you’re Citrine dry when done.
Method 2: Cleanse your Citrine with sound
Sound energy cleansing is terrific for anyone who is drawn to music. This is a great way to personalize your cleansing sessions. Any sound you find uplifting and are moved by will be perfect to use.
You have to follow no rules when choosing an instrument, and if you feel compelled to use your voice as the source of the sound, you can do that. You can sing, repeat a mantra, pray, or chant if that feels good for you.
The key is to find what resonates with you to bring positive vibrations to the cleansing. There are also many other options for sound, such as singing bowls, bells, chimes, drums, tuning forks, just to name a few. Experiment with different instruments until you find what works for you.
Start with setting your intentions for the cleansing and begin the sound you have chosen. Let the notes wash over your Citrine, and visualize the stagnant energies being shaken loose and breaking free to be carried away, leaving your Citrine with pure, balanced energies.
Focus on each of your crystals for 10 mins and then move on to the next. An added perk of using sound energy cleansing is that the room you are in will also be cleansed in the process. Sound is excellent for breaking up stagnant energy in a home.
Method 3: Cleanse your Citrine using your breath
Breath cleansing is a great way to use your own energies to work with your Citrine and create a strong connection. Be mindful when using your energy of how you are feeling and take breaks when necessary, especially if you are cleansing an extensive collection of crystals with your breath. You don’t want to bring tired energy to the cleansing.
Start by getting into a comfortable position somewhere quiet and where you won’t be disturbed. Hold your Citrine in your hand, set your intentions for what you will accomplish, take a long, deep inhale, and exhale slowly and steadily directly at your Citrine.
Visualize your breath literally blowing away the negative energies stuck in your crystal and being returned to the Universe. Repeat this for three rounds of breath before moving on to your next crystal.
How to charge a Citrine crystal
You can use the sun to charge your Citrine after you have finished cleansing it. Place your Citrine on a sunny windowsill or outside in a bright spot, set your intentions and let your Citrine know what you need from it, and leave it for 4 hours to charge in the sunshine.
How often should I cleanse my Citrine?
It would be ideal to aim for a monthly cleansing of your Citrine to keep its positive vibrations high and clean.
Conclusion
Citrine is a happy crystal that helps to create a positive and joyful environment, but it does need to have negative energies it picks up cleansed regularly. I hope you have found this content valuable and go forth with confidence in your crystal journey.
