Embracing Abundance: The Power of Citrine
As March rolls in, the days grow longer, and the air feels infused with the promise of spring. This season is a time for blossoming, enthusiasm, and success—making it the perfect moment to embrace abundance in our lives. Abundance isn’t just about material wealth; it’s a mindset that infuses every aspect of our lives—love, joy, health, and creativity.
Recently, I found myself feeling stuck in a cycle of scarcity. I focused on what I lacked—time, money, and new, stimulating challenges. No matter how hard I worked, I always chased after something just out of reach. I knew I needed a shift in perspective, but I was unsure how to initiate it.
One afternoon, while wandering through a wholesale crystal event in search of new gemstones for my creations, a vibrant piece of Citrine caught my eye. Its sunny yellow hue radiated warmth and positivity, and I felt an undeniable pull toward it. The shopkeeper explained that Citrine is known as the “merchant's stone,” often associated with abundance and prosperity. Intrigued, I decided to bring it home, hoping it would help me manifest the abundance I craved.
I placed the beautiful yellow gemstone on my desk where I worked, allowing its energy to inspire me. Each morning, I held it in my hand, closed my eyes, and visualized the abundance I wanted in my life. I imagined my book flourishing (Yep, I am writing a book.), my relationships deepening, and my creativity flowing freely. I began reciting affirmations like, “I Can & I Will” and “I am a Dreamer”
As I continued this practice, I noticed subtle shifts in my mindset. Instead of fixating on the obstacles ahead on my path, I started recognizing and celebrating the abundance already present in my life. Simple moments—like a shared laugh with my husband, the warmth of the sun on my skin, or the joy of creating something new—became sources of gratitude.
One evening, while cooking dinner, I felt a surge of inspiration to create a new dish. It had been a while since I had experimented in the kitchen, and as I chopped and sautéed, I realized that this creativity was a form of abundance. I was abundant in the ability to create and express myself, and that realization filled me with joy. The meal turned out delicious, and sharing it with my family made it even more special.
Inspired by the abundance in my daily life, I decided to extend this mindset to my finances. I started a gratitude jar, where I placed small notes about financial wins, no matter how small—like a bonus check for a movie I worked on as a stunt double years ago, finding a penny on the street or saving on groceries. This practice helped shift my focus from scarcity to abundance, reminding me that the universe always provides.
As the weeks went by, I felt a growing sense of joy and fulfillment. I attracted more opportunities, and my writing flourished in ways I had once only dreamed of. I realized that abundance is a cycle: the more I embraced it, the more it flowed into my life.
March serves as a beautiful reminder that I could cultivate abundance within myself and my life, much like the flowers that bloom this season. With Citrine by my side, I learned to shift my focus, celebrating not just what I wanted to achieve but what I already have.
If you’re seeking to embrace abundance, I encourage you to explore the energy of Citrine. Hold it close, meditate with it, and allow it to remind you of the richness already present in your life. Together, let’s cultivate a mindset of abundance and watch as the universe responds.
