Yellow Agate: Healing, Metaphysical Properties, and Uses for Mabon

The energy of yellow agate resonates with the solar plexus area of the body and benefits the digestive system, kidneys, liver, gallbladder, and spleen. It can be used to soothe skin conditions, too, particularly those that cause itching and topical inflammation.

Place yellow agate crystals on and around your abdomen to improve metabolism, or if you suffer from irritable bowel syndrome, Crohn's disease, or any similar gastrointestinal issues.

It works similarly to cleanse the liver and kidneys. Lie on your back, ensuring that you're comfortable and warm, with the crystals on and around you. Relax and clear your mind while doing some deep breathing.

Visualize warm rays of sunlight gently flowing into your solar plexus and spreading through your abdomen. Stay that way for as long as you feel comfortable. If you feel yourself drifting off to sleep, don't resist it. That allows the yellow agate crystals to do their work without interruption from your mind.

Always cleanse and recharge crystals after healing therapy.

You can also make a yellow agate elixir to drink for cleaning and purification. Place a few crystals in a clear glass jug with pure water. Put it directly in the late morning sun and leave it there until after midday. Drink the water within 24 hours.

The same water can be used to cleanse and soothe inflamed itching skin. Aloe vera, a sun-loving succulent, treats skin conditions very well. You amplify the healing benefits by placing a few small yellow agate crystals in the pure aloe gel. Remove the crystals before applying the gel to the skin. Then, after washing them with clean water, they can be charged and used again.

Yellow agate has masculine energy and is associated with the sun. However, it isn't the fiery energy of the midday sun, but rather the gentle rays of the winter sun or the summer sun at sunrise and sunset.

The vibrational energy of yellow agate aligns with the solar plexus chakra, but it can also influence the sacral and heart chakras.

It brings comfort and stability while lending quiet strength to any situation. For example, if you're inclined to overspending, wear yellow agate when you go shopping; it stops urges to buy things you don't need.

Also, wear it if you're in a committed relationship but find yourself attracted to someone else. Yellow agate will open your mind to common sense and encourage you to think of the consequences. Of course, it quells desires as well.

When you have more on your plate than you can realistically handle, keep yellow agate close at hand. The soothing, rational energy will help you prioritize your responsibilities and pacify any frayed nerves.

In situations where endurance is required, keep a yellow agate companion to see you through. Whether it's physical, mental, or emotional endurance you need, it will keep you going in a positive, healthy way.

The quiet strength of yellow agate is excellent in times of disharmony and conflict. It inspires you to speak your truth with courage and honesty, and it encourages you to accept the reality of any situation.

Keeping it in the home can soften even the stubbornest of hearts, opening the way for honest discussion, resolution, peace, and harmony.

It strengthens the sense of reality, too, and aids in making practical decisions. And where change is necessary, even if it's drastic, yellow agate will provide the strength and endurance to see you through.

After any type of trauma, yellow agate can help overcome bitterness, negativity, and resentment by healing anger and allowing it to pass. After that, it builds self-esteem and confidence, opening the way for new beginnings.

Lighter shades can be used to bring happiness and joy into any environment, while darker shades are great for encouraging creativity and sparking new inventions or ways of doing things.

Confidence isn't made in a day, particularly after trauma or painful emotional events. This is a spell to help you regain your confidence over time. Remember, the energy of yellow agate is slow but steady, and its impact long-lasting.

Do this spell on a Sunday morning between sunrise and noon.

This spell uses the energy of the numbers 2 and 11, as well as a circle. The number 2 represents balance, 11 signifies self-confidence, and 1 + 1 = 2 – back to balance. A circle has many meanings, but in this instance, it denotes the spiritual self – the "I am" beyond the egocentric (and false) self.

Beforehand, write down a list of things that hold you back from expressing yourself honestly, living your life to the fullest, or aspects about yourself you feel are unattractive. Genuine self-confidence is rooted in self-love. Once you find that, your list will likely become considerably shorter.
