intention candles- harnessing the power within
Have you ever felt a surge of energy when you light a candle? That flickering flame seems to hold an inexplicable power, capturing our attention and mesmerizing us. But what if I told you that candles can be more than mere sources of light and decoration? What if I told you that they have the potential to manifest our desires and intentions?
Our candles are created with a specific purpose in mind. That’s where their names come from. We name our candles with the intention of creating conditions for your wellness, using biophilic design, positive psychology and the art of living well.
Other company’s candles are crafted with a combination of different elements, including colour, scent, and often adorned with symbolic objects, such as crystals or herbs. These elements are carefully chosen to enhance the energy and intention behind the candle. We don’t add anything into the wax that could interfere with the safe burning of your candle. We suggest keeping your candle free of debris and your wick trimmed.
The process begins with setting an intention - a specific goal or desire - that you wish to manifest. It could be anything from improving your focus, finding love, attracting abundance, or even healing emotional wounds. Once the intention is clear, the corresponding elements are selected, each carrying its own energetic properties.
Colour plays a crucial role in intention candles. Different colours correspond to various aspects of our lives. For example, a green candle symbolizes prosperity and abundance, while a pink one represents love and compassion (you can customize your vessel keeping these things in mind). The chosen colour helps to amplify and focus your intention, guiding the energy towards your desired outcome.
Scent is also carefully chosen to enhance the intention. Just as different flowers have distinct aromas that evoke specific emotions, different scents have different effects on our minds and bodies. The scent of lavender, for instance, can promote relaxation and stress relief, while citrus scents can uplift and energize. By selecting scents that align with your desired outcome, you create a sensory experience that further amplifies your intention.
In addition to colour and scent, many intention candles incorporate symbolic objects that hold specific energetic properties. Crystals, for instance, are often used in candles to enhance their metaphysical effects. Amethyst may bring clarity and enhance your intuition, while rose quartz can attract love and promote self-love. Other candles may include herbs, such as sage or rosemary, known for their purifying or healing properties.
Once you have selected or crafted your intention candle, it becomes a sacred tool for manifestation. Lighting the candle becomes a ritual, a way to connect with your intention and focus your energy on its realization. As you watch the flame dance and flicker, visualize your desired outcome, infusing the candle with your intention and energy.
Throughout the burning process, the candle steadily releases its energy, spreading your intention into the universe. It acts as a beacon, attracting corresponding vibrations and opportunities that align with your desire. As the flame slowly consumes the wax, it symbolizes the manifestation of your intention, bringing your dreams closer to reality.
