Meditating with Pillar Candles

Do you need time to build your energy? Or a relaxing time to maybe regain your focus? Sometimes I do especially when situations at the office seem so hard to deal with. That's why I personally like to set some time for myself to pause and meditate.

Meditation has always been practiced for centuries and candles play a big part in the session.  They help create the mood through their scent and their lighting.  The light from the candle can be used as a focal point.

A candle alone can be used as a tool for meditation. I like to combine it with lavender or vanilla incense and sometimes meditation music.  Whatever you use doesn't matter as long as you are able to reach your meditation goal.

Candle as a Focal Point

Candles are usually placed at an eye level from where you plan to sit since you will be using them as a focal point during the entire session.  You don't want it too low or too high.  Because of this, pillar candles make the best meditation candles.

Candle flames when used as a focal point often helps you reach full concentration.  There are some though who'd rather maintain a direct contact with the flame for a couple of minutes rather than focusing on the flame for the entire session.

Candle Color and Scent

Any pillar candles can be used in meditation.  However, the scents emitted by the candles can contribute to achieving the desired goal of the meditation session.  If its relaxation and deeper meditation is what you seek, I suggest lighting Karma Senses vanilla frost candle.  If it's enlightenment then sandalwood scented candles are the best choice.

The color of the candle that you picked represents your mediation goal.  It is believed that different colors can evoke different reactions.  For example, pink candles can be used when meditating about happiness in love and romance.  Red is said to represent passion and energy.  Blue is associated with tranquility and is good when the person meditating is under stress.  White symbolizes inner peace and purity; and using yellow candle can open doors to psychic awareness.

Pillar Candles set the mood for meditation making you feel calm and giving you a sense of comfort.  The right candle color and scent will help you reach the state of mind you want to achieve.
