Today, I want to share something truly magical with you – the power of intention candles and how they can transform your morning routine and set a positive tone for your entire day. Imagine starting each day feeling centred, focused, and full of positive energy.
Here are five ways an intention candle can make this possible.
1. Creating a Sacred Space
One of the first steps to enhancing your morning routine with an intention candle is creating a sacred space. Lighting an intention candle immediately transforms any area into a serene, sacred space. The gentle flicker of the flame and the soothing scent from our luxurious, paraben-free fragrances help create a calm environment that’s perfect for introspection and mindfulness.
How to Do It:
- Find a quiet spot where you can be undisturbed.
- Arrange your intention candle, crystals, and perhaps a cozy cushion or comfy blanket
- Light the candle and take a few deep breaths, letting the space become your sanctuary.
2. Setting a Positive Intention
Setting an intention with your candle can significantly enhance your focus and purpose for the day. Whether it’s peace, clarity, confidence, or joy, choosing a specific intention helps direct your energy and thoughts. This simple act of mindfulness aligns your subconscious with your goals, making it easier to navigate your day with a clear sense of purpose.
How to Do It:
- Light your candle and sit comfortably.
- Close your eyes and think about what you want to achieve or feel today.
- Hold the intention in your mind and visualize it as you gaze at the candle’s flame.
3. Enhancing Meditation and Visualisation
Incorporating an intention candle into your meditation routine adds an extra layer of depth and focus. The flickering flame serves as a visual anchor, helping you stay present and grounded. Paired with meditation, this practice can elevate your mental clarity and emotional balance, making it easier to visualise your intentions and manifest your desires.
How to Do It:
- Sit in your sacred space with the candle lit in front of you.
- Focus on the flame and let it guide you into a meditative state.
- Use this time to visualise your intentions and feel them as if they are already happening.
- If you are using one of our candle rituals, you will have a guided visualisation to follow
4. Amplifying Affirmations
Affirmations are powerful tools for reprogramming your subconscious mind. When combined with an intention candle, their power is amplified. The ritual of speaking affirmations out loud while focusing on the candle’s flame helps embed these positive statements deeper into your mind, reinforcing your intentions and boosting your confidence.
How to Do It:
- Write down a few affirmations that align with your intention.
- Light your candle and repeat the affirmations out loud, focusing on the flame.
- Feel the truth of these statements and let them sink into your subconscious.
- If you are using one of our candle rituals, you will have received a list of affirmations aligned to the intention of the candle. And many of the audios include affirmations within them.
5. Closing the Ritual with Gratitude
Ending your morning routine with a gratitude practice while the candle is still burning adds a powerful touch. Gratitude shifts your focus from what you lack to what you have, fostering a positive mindset. The act of blowing out the candle symbolizes the release of your intention into the universe, allowing you to carry its energy throughout your day.
How to Do It:
- Before blowing out the candle, take a moment to reflect on what you’re grateful for.
- Our mediations and affirmations generally close out with gratitude and love so you'll be guided through this with our rituals
- Write down or mentally list a few things that bring you joy and appreciation.
- Gently blow out the candle, sealing your intention with gratitude.
Incorporating an intention candle into your morning routine can truly transform your day. From creating a sacred space and setting positive intentions to enhancing meditation, amplifying affirmations, and closing with gratitude, these rituals help you start your day with a focused, positive mindset.
