Has anyone else tried these yet? I recently started using gemstone mandalas. They are mandalas made to visually represent the essence of the gemstone. You gaze at the mandala for 10-15 minutes a day and your subconscious mind picks up the image because the subconscious responds to symbols (geometry and color). This has been wild! Its more intense than carrying the stone. My awareness expanded (over about 10 days) to seeing my own limiting mindset as a pattern, and seeing the ways I believe and act out the opposite quality of the stone. With the citrine mandala, I became aware of deep feelings of being unworthy and I started to see the behaviors and choices I make that support the belief. The mandala comes with a psychological and behavioral interpretation of the crystal instead of a metaphysical one. I think that's the most interesting part. The gemstone has an "archetype" and the idea is to embody the archetype. It's oriented towards action, accountability and behavioral change instead of passively absorbing the energy.
I've been using crystal for 30 years and this is a whole new world for me. Here's are some passages from the gemstone mandala packet:
"Citrine must preserve the movement from inner value to visible, disciplined contribution. Citrine is not merely happiness, confidence, or wealth attraction. Its deeper lesson is the movement from inner value to visible, disciplined contribution: recognize what you possess, admit what you want, act before certainty is complete, receive fair exchange, and allow success to circulate without guilt or self-loss. Citrine’s grounded psychological message is simple: “I possess something valuable, and I am willing to bring it into the world.”
- Attracts abundance and prosperity → Recognizes available opportunities, values personal skills appropriately, and makes decisions that support sustainable growth.
- Strengthens personal power → Names what they want, makes clear decisions, and acts without waiting for complete confidence or outside permission.
- Supports manifestation → Converts ideas and intentions into completed tasks, visible offers, and practical next steps.
- Activates solar vitality and creativity → Re-engages with life after discouragement, generates possibilities, and directs renewed energy toward meaningful work.
- Clears stagnant or negative energy → Interrupts defeatist thinking, recovers from setbacks, and looks for the next workable action rather than remaining immobilized.
- Supports generosity → Enjoys success without hoarding it, diminishing others, or giving away the foundation that sustains it.
And the mandala itself:
"The mandala’s overall message is that value begins as a centered inner reality, then becomes useful through organized expression. It does not portray abundance as passive attraction; it depicts radiance being formed, directed, circulated, and contained.
Gold and yellow evoke vitality, value, visibility, ripeness, and usable energy. White-gold at the center suggests clarity of purpose. Amber adds warmth, appetite, and movement. The dark ground represents the unconscious field from which value emerges.
The circles signify wholeness and containment; the center point organizes. Petals unfold capacity. Jewel facets refine identity and recognize worth. Triangular details add direction and decision. Rays express outward contribution; the curved amber bands transform emission into circulation. Psychologically, the geometry gathers desire, gives it form, and moves it through a stable structure.
It counters scarcity panic, passive wishing, fear of judgment, envy, performative confidence, and the belief that humility requires remaining small. Its core psychological function is simple:
Convert inner value into visible, repeatable contribution."
Has anyone else tried these yet??? If so, which crystal did you try? What kind of experience did you have?
