CRYSTALS: Citrine

QUESTION: Hello There! I am working to attract a large sum of money into my life for peaceful and positive purposes. I have a large Citrine Pyramid Crystal which I hold in my hands for attracting my wealth energy. Can you instruct me on how to better use my crystal?

ANSWER: Hello! It sounds like you are on the right path for attracting wealth by meditating with your Citrine Pyramid! Meditating, visualizing and manifesting with your crystals is the most powerful way to tap into the crystal's energies. I assume you are already cleaning, charging and programming your crystals before using them (if not there is more information on www.satincrystals.com under the tab "Crystal FAQ's").

The one thing that does come to mind as a suggestion to you is to have some smaller, more portable Citrine crystals around you while you are doing these meditations, so that you can easily take them with you during your day as a reminder of the manifestation you have been calling into your life.

As for the Citrine sphere, this will be easier to hold in your hands and you will most likely receive a different sensation. Different shapes have different effects on our thoughts. For me, a Pyramid brings in more sacred power, decisiveness and strength. For me, a sphere brings in more harmony, a softer energy, yet just as powerful, as it's the most uniform shape in the universe.

Spheres are also used for group harmony, bringing people together for progressive meetings and exciting solutions. Many healers will place large Crystal Balls in the center of their meeting tables or living spaces to bring a harmonious energy, aligning minds and raising the vibration among the group.

I would suggest placing your Citrine sphere on a ring in your money corner of your home, office or space - we place them on crystal rings which can double as rings to wear! The money corner is the furthest left corner from the door.

We are always happy to help you with any crystal healing advice. We also invite you to subscribe to our blog at http://sheilasatin.blogspot.com where we answer many crystal questions like yours every week.

Sincerely,
Sheila Satin

p.s. your Citrine sphere you ordered is on its way today!

MONEY MULTIPLIER: Day 21

I lie with my long Aventurine Aura Wand, opening the chakras with the affirmation that has become so familiar to me: "every day in every way, I am rich and richer". I thought about a question someone posted on our social network, satincrystals.ning.com about programming crystals and how many times she should repeat her affirmations.

In general crystal healing, there is no need to re-affirm your intention, but in calling in abundance and other such practices, I think it's very beneficial. It's akin to chanting, where you are calling in the positive vibrations of your affirmation into your aura, into your cells, your very being...In my opinion, you should affirm the positive thought until it is ingrained in your life.

It's great to call out "I am abundance" several times a day. It helps you to align yourself with this thought and energy. It reminds us of our natural being which is so often confused with the chaos around our every day conscious minds.

So, I say repeat away! Make yourself vibrate with the energy of positivity.

Thank you for being a part of I Dig Crystals, Satin Crystals, the Money Multiplying Practice. I thank the universe for your positive energies and thoughts and I send you the same....

MONEY MULTIPLIER: Day 12/13

Weekends are prone to enjoying freedoms of life...here's what happened in my Money Multiplying practice over the weekend...Saturday, I actually did the practice mentally while surrounded by the elements of life. I felt a sort of clarity, a peace among the chaos as I went over my chakras with my crystals, friends chatting, cat pacing, traffic buzzing...

Sunday, I used my long Aventurine Aura wand again, powering the chakras with the mantra "every day in every way, I am rich and richer"...really concentrating and getting into character helps you to tune in and feel the energies you are invoking. After this ritual, I thanked the universe for all that I do have in my life. Gratitude melted through my aura and I imagined yelling 'THANK YOU!' out into the universe and it reverberated through the galaxies without me having to make a sound...

MONEY MULTIPLIER: Day 8

A day of money moths! Today I decided to lie on my bed with two green tumbled Malachite crystals in my hands. I went through the 7 chakra chant of "every day in every way I am becoming rich and richer". Then, I affirmed all of the things in my life that I am grateful for. I do this often just to lift the spirits, and I usually focus on the small things that made my day so great and then move on to a wider appreciation of wealth in my life.

I then started to internally affirm "my money multiplies" and "I retain wealth". With the first affirmation I felt the energy of the crystal in my left hand flicker like a moth. With the second affirmation, I felt the energy of the crystal in my right hand solid as a rock. The second time, I felt like there were two moths flickering upward, but the right hand energy remained solid. It was a nice sensation, so I kept going. Before long, it was as though a rainbow of "money moths" were energetically flying over my aura...

MONEY MULTIPLIER: Day 7

Today I used a green Aventurine carving of the Hindu elephant god, Ganesh for the 7 chakra chant "every day in every way I am becoming rich and richer". Aventurine for abundance and Ganesh the bringer of wealth in Hindu tradition. I placed this carving on each of the chakras as I went through with the chant, allowing the image to call in abundance to my aura.

Ganesh is the Hindu Elephant god, benevolent to the people. He is the Remover of Obstacles, Bringer of Wealth and Wisdom. Ganesh reminds you to thank the universe for the abundance swirling around you. Aventurine Ganesh will bring Abundance in whatever you may ask for!

MONEY MULTIPLIER: Day 5

I took a lazy-day yesterday, but I did stick with the money multiplying practice! This time I used my Aventurine Wand and a natural raw Quartz point because I needed a boost in my aura. Quartz is a great crystal to use when you want to strengthen your aura energy. Imagine a ball of energy surrounding and mimicking your physical body. You want this energy to be strong and powerful so that your physical energies remain balanced. Quartz is great for lazy days!

MONEY MULTIPLIER: Day 3

I passed through my 7 chakras with the affirmation that "every day in every way I am becoming rich and richer", holding the aura wand in both hands (it's 15" long!). Half way through I opened my eyes and let in the brightness around me.

I then placed the Moss Agate ball (for natural abundance) at my stomach, pointing the tip of the Aura Wand at the ball and held my Bloodstone egg in my hands tightly. I began to affirm that "my money multiplies and I retain wealth" but then my mind wandered and I could feel my aura vibrating with the rich colors of forest green. I knew that this was the color of the abundance I am seeking. I was then surprised to notice that a rich, grounding, earth-brown color was vibrating at my feet.

MONEY MULTIPLIER: Day 1

Cleaned and Charged, I have programmed my crystals accordingly:

Aventurine: money multiplying, financial abundance
Moss Agate: natural abundance of food, air and shelter
Bloodstone: retaining wealth, keeping all of this abundant energy within my aura and in my life.

I sat and pointed the tip of the Aventurine aura wand on each of my 7 chakras as I repeated out loud "every day in every way i am becoming rich and richer," visualizing the energy of abundance flowing through each point.

This all took but a few minutes, so I further energized myself with other positive affirmations like "my money multiplies, I am abundance" "I am surrounded by wealth, I never worry about money" ....

At the end I felt slight tingling sensations, especially at my feet and the crown of my head.

a bevy of cures

QUESTION: Hi Sheila, last summer you told me of some crystals I could use for my health conditions which are severe arthritis, bone on bone in the knees and the same in my spine, no disk left in lower back. You recommended mochi balls and selenite. I have a couple of pieces of selenite, one is a rounded wand for massaging, the other a narrow rectangle piece that splinters so it can't be used for massaging. I recently ordered the mochi balls from you on ebay, as well as some citrine tumbled stones and the window quartz pieces/palm stones. I have numerous books but still get overwhelmed.

How do I use the mochi balls? I got the citrine stones to give to my children who are financially struggling in this economy. I don't know why I got the crystal quartz, I guess that will be revealed to me on a need to know basis. I also want to take some gemstone elixir but don't know which stones to use...I think you may have told be calcite. Is that yellow, orange? How many stones do I put into each preparation, and how much water? Do I use spring water, tab water, distilled? And what kind of container? Would a quart fruit jar be ok? It is clear glass but has a metal lid.

I am considering ordering your Dad's book? I will maybe next month or ask for it for my birthday later this month. I may need to get some calcite stones from you for the elixir if you have the kind I need.

I also have a friend who is going through so much grief. Actually, two friends. One lost her husband suddenly. I made her an amethyst and rose quartz bracelet but I feel that she is still suffering a lot. My other friend lost her husband 2 years ago and recently lost her oldest son in a car accident. As I look through all my books on grief, nothing jumps out at me for her. I know apache tears is good for that but I don't have the beads to make jewelry and she isn't open to the whole idea of stones. I do this jewelry thing to help those that don't realize how much stones can help. They are open to wearing the jewelry. I clean it and dedicate it to them as their needs manifest themselves to the stone. It is my way of helping people who aren't open to this way of healing. I know one doesn't need to believe in them for them to work...they just have to wear the stones.

I thank you again and look forward to hearing from you and getting your suggestions


ANSWER:
The mochi balls you use by rubbing over the affected area. I haven't done this myself, but several clients who have arthritis swear by mochi balls, so I wanted to pass on this information!

The Citrine crystals make sure that your kids keep them wherever they keep cash so that there can be a flow. Many clients also swear by Citrine and it is commonly known as the "Merchant Stone". I myself prefer Aventurine and Bloodstone, but again, it's up to personal prefernce and resonance with each crystal.

Calcite comes in many different colors. I use one tumbled stone (3/4"-1") to one glass of water, more or less. You will come up with your own method, but to start off, you can use this measurement for elixirs. And the water is again up to you. Whatever you are used to drinking. I drink tap water, so that is what I use, but if you're used to some other kind of water, I would use that. A fruit jar is fine. If you are concerned with the metal lid, I would just place a paper towel over that top if you are concerned with impurities falling into the water while creating.

My dad's book, "Incredibly Believable!" is a wonderful, uplifting and easy to read book. Wherever he is now in the universe, he is looking out for us as all the advanced souls are. We overcome our mortal dilemmas and crystals are definitely an aid in the right direction.

For your friends going through grief, I would definitely stick with black stones because these are much stronger in absorbing and transmuting negativity. If you can't find Apache Tear beads, definitely use Obsidian. Apache Tears are a form of Obsidian.

I also started my own jewelry line since we last emailed, you can check it out at http://sheilasatin.etsy.com/ and if you have any custom requests, I am happy to create!

You are certainly correct, you don't have to believe in the crystals for them to work! But it's just the more powerful when you do accept their energies :)
