Tip from Nefertiti for a ritual with citrine: ABUNDANCE RITUAL

The sun is the source of light, warmth and life. Citrine is a crystal that can preserve and multiply this solar energy. Together they form a powerful tool for manifesting abundance, prosperity and joy. This simple ritual will help you tune into the wave of acceptance and open yourself to new opportunities.

Why citrine and the sun?

• Citrine – a stone of abundance, courage and creative energy. It clears the mind of fear and promotes faith in one's own abilities.

• The sun – a symbol of vitality, growth and success. It provides energy that strengthens every wish and intention.

The combination of both forces activates the solar plexus chakra – the center of personal power, will, and self-confidence.

What you will need

• 1 citrine (preferably raw, but can also be tumbled or in jewelry)

• comfortable place in direct sunlight

• paper and pen

• a bowl of water for energy cleansing.

Ritual procedure

• Cleanse your citrine – rinse it in clean water or hold it in your palms for a few minutes and imagine all the old energy leaving it.

• Find a sunny spot – sit where the sun's rays will warm you.

• Hold the citrine in your hands and close your eyes. Feel its warmth and connection to the sun.

• Visualization – imagine the sunlight streaming through the citrine directly into your body, especially into the abdominal area (solar plexus). You feel strength, joy, and confidence.

• Write down your intention – write down on paper a specific wish for abundance (financial, emotional, creative). Write in the present tense, as if it has already happened.

• Confirming a wish – place the citrine on the paper and let them lie together in the sun for at least 10-15 minutes to "charge" the intention.

• End of the ritual – thank the sun and the citrine. Keep the paper in a safe place or place it under your pillow, carry the citrine with you.

Tip for strengthening the ritual

Do it on Sunday - the day that astrologically belongs to the Sun, or during a new moon or full moon , when the energies of intentions are strongest.

This ritual is a gentle but very effective way to align your mind and energy with the vibrations of abundance. By repeating it, you reinforce your inner belief that you deserve abundance – and the universe responds to it.
