"I have been working with citrine stones for 7 years now & have had one on my desk ever since I started YCL."
Team YCL's Crystal Guide
Fab's Pick: Citrine
A beautiful stone for manifesting small goals and intentions, or your wildest dreams.
How to Use:
I love to write an affirmation on some paper and place this under my citrine crystal. You could use affirmations such as: I am open to receiving, my body is healthy & well, or an exact goal you would like to manifest into reality.
Fab's Tip:
Place a clear quartz or white topaz stone next to your citrine to heighten the crystal's intensity.
Rach's pick: Clear Quartz
For me I would have to say I love Clear Quartz as it’s considered a “master healer.” It’s said to amplify energy by absorbing, storing, releasing and regulating it. It’s also said to aid concentration and memory which as you know I pride myself on. Physically clear crystals are claimed to help stimulate the immune system and balance out your entire body which is good for me since I have an auto-immune disease.
How to use:
Hold a clear quartz during times of emotional stress or energy imbalance.
Rach's Tip:
This stone is often paired with others like rose quartz to aid and enhance their abilities.
"I have 2 beautiful pieces that are the stand outs in my crystal collection, one I purchased from the Swiss Alps when I was concerned about my health while travelling and I kept it in my camera bag and the other piece is a big Clear Quartz generator that sits on my bedside table to promote healing while I sleep."
"One of my favourite crystals as it helps to navigate our personal truths."
Char's Pick: Amazonite
The stone of Courage and the stone of Truth, "Amazonite empowers one to search the self and discover one’s own truths and integrity, and to move beyond fear of judgment or confrontation with others to live in alignment with those beliefs and values.”
How to use:
Raise both of my legs vertically up the wall and let my blood rush to my brain, great for draining the lymphatic system (boosting circulation and immunity). Then I place my Amazonite crystal on my lower stomach letting it connect to my gut. This helps find my centre and uncover all those gut feelings that are within us all.
Char's Tip:
Place amazonite stones on the throat and heart chakra whilst lying flat.
Em's Pick: Rose Quartz
Rose Quartz is a beautiful stone known as the "Heart Stone". It carries a soft feminine energy of compassion and peace, healing, nourishment and comfort. It dissolves emotional wounds, fears and resentments allowing capacity to give and receive love from others. It is also known to inspired the love of beauty in oneself, others and nature.
How to use:
I love to hold my Rose Quartz tumble stone in my hand during my meditation practice and also place one on my bedside table.
Em's Tip:
Place your rose quartz near the bed, or under the heart (underneath the mattress) to improve heal and open the heart.
"I am always open to connecting deeper towards self love and acceptance. I have been gifted a few large Rose Quartz clusters from close friends over the years so I think this stone actually chose me."
