How to prepare citrine
Citrine must be cleansed and charged before it can do anything for you (here are all the wonderful things citrine can bring you).
Whether you’ve just brought the crystal home or you have one that’s been sitting around for a while, it’s important to first cleanse it of the energy it carries and charge it with new energy.
To cleanse citrine, place it in healthy soil, clean water, sunlight, or moonlight. These elements send energy from the crystal back into the earth, then charge the crystal to make it vibrant and powerful once more.

Once cleansed and charged, decide where to keep your citrine based on what you want to be blessed with. Below is a list of places where you might want to put your citrine.
The best places to keep citrine
You can keep citrine…
Near your solar plexus chakra
Citrine is closely linked to the heart chakra, which is above the navel in the abdominal area. This chakra is associated with personal power, self-confidence, abundance, and manifestation.
To keep citrine near the solar plexus chakra, wear a citrine necklace, a citrine bracelet on your left hand if you’re right-handed (and vice versa), or carry a small citrine crystal in your pocket.
You can also place citrine on your solar plexus chakra during meditations or energy healing sessions, to balance and activate this energy center.
When using citrine for meditation, set your intention and focus your attention on the solar plexus chakra. Close your eyes and visualize warm, golden light flowing through this area, and feel the energy of the citrine resonating with your own energy.
With consistent practice, you may begin to feel more self-confident and see an improvement in your finances and wealth.
If you don’t have time for meditation and visualization, simply hold citrine on your solar plexus chakra and repeat an affirmation to ask for what you seek. You can do this wherever you are and whenever you need help.
Here’s a list of citrine affirmations to get you started.
In a dreamcatcher
Want better dreams and deeper sleep?
Hang a gorgeous citrine dreamcatcher, like this one or this one, above your bed. The dreamcatcher must be hung higher than your head so your dreams and thoughts can enter it.
When you sleep, good dreams and thoughts are lovingly let loose down the dreamcatcher’s feathers to float back to you. Dark or negative dreams and thoughts get caught in the dreamcatcher’s web, to be destroyed by sunlight when the sun rises in the morning.
Citrine is a dream-enhancing crystal, filtering out nightmares and bringing sweet sleep with uplifting visions at night.
The crystal also protects you and your sleeping space from negative energy, making it easier to tap into your inner wisdom and get the guidance you need, when you are ready to receive it.
On a window sill
Keep a citrine crystal or pyramid on a sunny window sill to harness the sun’s energy.
Warm, vibrant sunlight cleanses and charges citrine with its powerful energy, enhancing the crystal’s natural properties. This energy attracts positive experiences and people, abundance, and clarity into your life.
Over time, the crystal may change color because of too much sun exposure. When this happens, it’s time to thank it, bury it in the ground, and get a new crystal for your window sill.
On your meditation altar
Create a sacred space for citrine on your meditation altar. Keeping the crystal in such a serene and focused environment amplifies its ability to enhance your spiritual connection and deepen your meditation practice.
Simply hold the citrine in your hand while meditating and visualize its golden glow covering your entire being, bringing you joy, inner peace, and spiritual growth.
In your feng shui prosperity corner
Keep citrine in the southeastern corner of your home or bedroom, which is your feng shui prosperity corner.
Putting citrine here aligns the crystal with the element of wood and the energy of abundance, attracting wealth and financial success into your life. Place it on a small table or decorative dish where you can see it and have a visual reminder of your money goals.
In your workspace or office
Keep citrine on your desk or in your workspace for greater productivity, focus, and creativity.
A charged citrine brings you mental clarity, keeps away negative energies, and inspires innovative ideas, among many other things. The crystal is especially helpful if you’re artistic or an entrepreneur.
In your wallet or purse
Tuck a small citrine crystal or a citrine worry stone in your wallet or purse to attract money and great wealth.
Whenever you see the crystal, say a prosperity affirmation so you stay mindful of your financial goals, continue to attract wealth, and keep money flowing steadily into your life. Citrine also helps you make wise financial decisions and brings opportunities.
In a jewelry box
Keep citrine in your jewelry box to cleanse and charge your precious gemstones and crystal pieces.
Citrine’s purifying energy removes stagnant and negative energy, bringing you a renewed sense of positivity and empowerment whenever you wear your jewelry.
In the bathroom
Keep citrine near your bathtub or in the bathroom. Whenever you soak in the water, the crystal’s energy has a chance to help you with self-care, relaxation, and emotional healing.
You can also hold citrine in your hand while bathing to enjoy its soothing and cleansing effects, so you can release stress and rejuvenate your spirit.
In your car
Keep a citrine crystal on your car dashboard, hanging from your rearview mirror, or in your glove compartment to make your travels more positive and uplifting.

On your vision board
Citrine is a wonderful crystal for manifestation – and its powers can be incredible if you give it a chance. So citrine is a great crystal to put on your vision board or as close to your vision board as you can get it (stick it on with some museum putty or glue if you have to).
Keeping citrine near your vision board amplifies the board’s power, and it supports you in reaching your goals and materializing your greatest desires.
For an even greater impact, burn one of these citrine manifestation candles as you work on and whenever you spend time looking at your vision board.
