Are you searching for the perfect Meditation candle practice? As chandlers who know the importance of Meditation, we want to provide helpful content so that you can use candles as a resource and guide for your Meditation practice.

Why a Meditation Candle Practice

More and more people are looking to Meditation to bring calmness and serenity into their lives.

For some, Meditation suggests that it is easy to stop everything and bring one’s mind to stillness. For those of us who meditate regularly, we know staying focused can sometimes be a daunting task.

Candles anchor your attention when your mind shifts; the flicker of the flame can bring you back to what’s essential. 

Candles and Mindfulness

We want to create mindfulness. Mindfulness is about deepening present-moment awareness to nurture spiritual growth.

Spirituality is a connection to something higher than the individual self. Mindfulness is achieved via Meditation. The body becomes still and quiet. There is inner reflection and self-awareness.

According to Psychology Today:

Meditation has been shown to increase focus, reduce stress, and promote calmness. It can also help people recognize and accept negative emotions—especially when it is done in combination with mindfulness practices that keep people grounded in experiencing the present.

Candle Gazing

Candle gazing Meditation is also known as trataka or yogic gazing. Combine it with the calming practice of Meditation, and you will be on your way to peace, calmness, and serenity.

We recommend adding candles to your Meditation practice as they help you maintain your focus.

Candles have a way of bringing you back to concentration and mindfulness. It reminds you to breathe.

Research Backing Meditation

Research on the topic of Meditation includes a survey taken by the Pew Research Center revealing that 40% of Americans meditate at least once per week.

National Health Institute reports that those who meditate mainly use it for general wellness and include assistance with improving energy, aiding memory or concentration, anxiety, stress, and depression.

Success With Candle Meditation

• One way to help you achieve success with Meditation is to find a place in your home that can be quiet and away from everyone. This is your safe space, your inner sanctuary, if you will.
• Create a soothing ritual to signal your brain it’s time to calm down. I use breathing exercises.
• Deep breathing is a fantastic way to bring your body and mind to stillness.
• Light your candle and find your focal point in the flickering flame. Use a candle scent that you find pleasing and soothing. Of course, we recommend our 100% natural soy wax candles as they are clean to breathe and non-toxic.
• Natural candles like our Lavender Fields, Namaste, Water, and Wood Nymph work best. Clean, scented candles encompass the senses, relaxing you more deeply.
• Our candles are perfect for Meditation. They are made of all-natural soy and have clean, meditative fragrances, especially for breathing.
