To Thine Own Self Be True

I've been reflecting lately on a quote from Shakespeare - "This above all: To thine own self be true, and it must follow, as the night the day, thou canst not then be false to any man." It can be a challenge, remaining true to yourself, when it comes to relationships.

For many of us, love can look like loyalty. And being loyal to the needs of others can be a slippery slope to codependency. The culture often exerts a subtle, or not so subtle influence over our thinking. It may tell us that putting our own needs first is selfish.

Natural Citrine

Since the Teaching of the Month is "To thine own self be true", I chose Citrine as the Stone person to best represent that. Citrine (natural) balances and supports all of the Chakras, and never needs to be cleared. (It should not be confused with heat-treated Amethyst, often marketed as Citrine. They are not the same stone.)

Citrine varies in color, from palest golden yellow, to a rich, deep amber, verging on smokey. It has a particular resonance with the Third Chakra, the Solar Plexus Chakra, the seat of the individuality, the Authentic Self.
