We love the holiday season, but it can be stressful and chaotic, turning otherwise good folks into giant balls of negative energy. We tend to encounter this negativity most often when we go Yule shopping. It would be one thing if people could keep their negativity to themselves, but that’s seldom the case. Luckily, we always carry a secret weapon with us: a citrine crystal.

Citrine is a pale yellow quartz, and it’s our favorite crystal to use for protection. Before going shopping, place a piece of citrine in your pocket or purse. When you feel the bad energy of others starting to creep up on you, grab the citrine with your dominant hand and say either aloud or in your head:

My citrine is a shield.
Bad energy must yield!

The citrine will act as a shield, blocking the negative energy.
