WHY LIGHT CANDLES?

The human brain processes smell which can influence our emotional state.  Candles can have a soothing effect as well as trigger memory association.  There are so many more amazing reasons to light candles.

Candles produce a cozy, relaxing, intimate, and warm welcoming mood with just a flicker of the flame.  They are a wonderful way to celebrate occasions such as birthdays, romantic anniversaries, graduations, weddings and holiday gift giving.

Candles are a stylish way to add the finishing touch to any room décor in your house. They are very versatile, come in a variety of styles and look great in every room. Use candles outdoors on your patio, porch, deck and in your garden and burn a citronella candle to keep bugs away. Having an Open House to sell your house, no problem. Scented candles are a perfect way to subtly add a wonderful fragrance to your space and remove unwelcome odors.

There is a wide variety of scented candles which allows you to show off your individuality and personality by burning the scents you love. Burning candles can also be beneficial to your health. Candles can provide the perfect atmosphere to induce calm and a sense of well-being. Burning scented candles can help with anxiety, alleviate stress, quiet the mind and can help support a restful sleep. Additionally, ear candling is a health benefit to get rid of earwax buildup.

Lighting candles during meditation is a wonderful way to support your practice. There are many visualization exercises and manifestation techniques that involve focusing on the flame of a burning candle while sending your intentions into the universe. Many religions use candles as during prayer. Our sense of smell is strongly tied with memory. We often associate a specific scent with a moment or season, support or positive memory and increased focus.

And don’t worry, if you’re not at home, pack travel candle tins and turn any space, anywhere in the world, into your own personal spa or sanctuary. Feel at home anywhere with your favorite scent burning. Wax melts are a great alternative as a flameless option especially for places like college dorms or places with burning restrictions.

Finally, find a candle that uses a recyclable vessel that can be repurposed.  Candles that use mason jars are made of long-lasting glass that is durable and corrosion resistant.  They will not break down overtime and are great for repurposing.
