Candle Therapy

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 are the earliest forms of light and 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 let them drift away to a very special place.

A candle acts as a "self object". A self-object is quite simply an object that is a reflection of our inner self, a reflection of our deep thoughts and feelings upon which we can act. The candle reflects the spiritual and ethical changes we would like to bring about in ourselves. The candle's flame is a reminder and symbol of our burning desires, sometimes we have to hand our dreams over to a force more powerful than we are and be guided by what we feel rather than what we think.

Simply lighting a candle of a particular colour or essential oil will assist in other therapy methods such as colour breathing and visualization. The flame of a candle like colour and aroma is a vibration that you can tune into to enhance any form of spiritual healing.
