Candle Therapy and Crystals

Using candles as therapy has been around for thousands of years, and

has been practiced by nearly every religion. Candle therapy can be used

to unite the powers of mind, body, and spirit. From ancient times to

the present, Candles have lit our way through every transition! From

celebrations and ceremonies to proclamations and processions! The

candle's flame has always been a metaphor for the soul! It possesses a

tranquil and almost hypnotic atmosphere to those who allow its power to

take them to a very special place.

A candle acts as a " self object " . A self object is an object that is a

reflection of our self, a reflection upon which we can act. The candle

reflects the spiritual and ethical changes we would like to bring about

in ourselves. It burns as a reminder and symbol of our desires.

Sometimes we have to hand our dreams over to a force more powerful than

we are.

The techniques of allowing candles to help in crystal work involve

holding a selected crystal in your hand or hands or placing the stone

on the floor or table near you and your mat and allow yourself to

focus on the mineral as you meditate.

In a meditative or yoga group circle, you may place the candles and

crystals in the center of the group. Make sure that the intention of

the entire group is that of the same intent.

Crystals can allow one to reach higher spiritual levels during

meditation. The crystal magnifies one's personal energy by aligning

and connecting with universal power. The candle can center and align

by concentrating on it's flame.

If you decide to make your own candles, you can incorporate crystals into the candles as an energetic component.
