Citrine is believed to be of value in healing the spiritual self as well, as it is a powerful cleanser and regenerator. It carries the virtues of self-healing, inspiration, and self-improvement. Carrying the power of the sun, it is excellent for overcoming depression, fears, and phobias. It aids those with depressed self-esteem. One’s sense of self becomes more radiant with a citrine and it helps to look forward to the future optimistically, going with the flow, instead of hanging on to the past. Mentally, it awakens the higher mind, expanding conscious awareness and improving the clarity of thought, promoting inner calm so that wisdom may emerge.
