A candle symbolizes a person: the wax is the physical body, the wick is the mind, and the flame is the spirit. Psychotherapists recommend lighting scented candles in the house every evening to relieve stress and gain inner peace. It is very important to choose the right color of accessories and the right room for meditation.
Have you ever noticed how relaxed you become when you look at the fire? It was said, that there are three things you can watch forever: fire burning, water falling, and other people working. When you watch the flame play, thoughts dissipate and worries go away. Do this in a comfortable place where you can be alone with yourself in complete silence. Sometimes it's good to turn off your brain and get rid of thousand thoughts in your head.
If you scroll through your Instagram feed every night before going to bed, and then you can’t fall asleep for a long time, it’s time to change your habits.

It has been proven that the blue light from your smartphone or laptop can seriously disrupt your sleep. It lowers magnesium levels, which can cause anxiety. Get into the habit of lighting lavender candles and eucalyptus candles an hour before bed to help you relax, allowing your body and mind to shut down until morning.
Meditation surrounded by candles not only relaxes the mind but also opens the channels of perception that have been blocked due to your crazy pace of life.
