Practitioners of crystal healing have long believed in alternative ways to combat negative energy & access the positive vibes that crystals release. Recognising the power crystals have isn’t a new trend either, although it is becoming increasingly popular. The link between spiritual healing & crystals have been around for thousands of years.
I have always been drawn to these little bundles of magic, the beauty of a burning candle & in the healing qualities that crystals have. So I have loved combining the two.
Have you ever smelt something that triggered a particular memory? Scents are the strongest triggers that awaken memories and feelings. It was only a matter of time until crystals and candles were merged to create something unique and purposeful.
The art of burning candles emits a calming, & relaxing energy that creates a sense of peace. The crystals bring certain energies which can help your mindset and overall well-being. Candles infused with crystals are often referred to as ‘intention candles.’
When you light these little wonders, energy from the crystals is released along with the burning candle. Whether you keep the crystal in the candle or they are placed near the candle, the process will work in the same way. A little tip; if you want an even burn, remove the crystals as the wax makes a pool to ensure an even burn. Crystals have a high melting point so are perfect for putting in candles.
So what are the benefits of using crystal-infused candles?
So, so many benefits, first & foremost they can help to clear negative energy from your space. If you have been feeling a little low or like your home is a little heavy, burning a crystal-infused candle can help to cleanse the space and create a more positive vibe. Additionally, crystal-infused candles can also help to promote healing.
If you are interested in trying crystal-infused candles, there are a few things to keep in mind….
*Choose a crystal that aligns with your intention.
For example, if you are looking to promote healing, you might want to choose a crystal like amethyst or rose quartz. If you are trying to cleanse your home of negative energy, you might want to try using black obsidian or selenite.
*Choose a candle that is made with natural ingredients.
This will ensure that the crystal energy is not tainted by any synthetic materials. Finally, when you are ready to burn your crystal-infused candle, make sure to set your intention. Focus on what you want to achieve and let the crystal energy work its magic.
Also:
- Calming – lighting a candle creates such a peaceful and calming atmosphere.
- Reduces feelings of stress and worry– watch that candle melt away along with your stress; especially in a good bubble bath.
- Self-care – candles are a great addition to your self-care routine, maybe write some affirmations or take a long shower or bath & I like to listen to your favourite tunes.
- Scents – different candle scents have different benefits. For example, sage can help the purification & cleansing of a space.
- Decor – they are the perfect little piece of home decor you needed for that last little spot left.
- Natural therapy – by placing crystals around you, you can change the energies for mind and body.
- Clarity – crystals are very good at focusing and distressing you.
Type of crystals – as with candles, different crystals have a myriad of different benefits.
