HOZHO, creator of scented treatments with energetic active ingredients for the home and body, explains how to choose your meditation candles .
How to choose the right meditation candles?
Meditative practice is an ancient activity that bears witness to the early use of certain incense . Sandalwood, in particular, widely used in India, is said to help elevate the spirit. Myrrh and patchouli have also occupied prominent places in Eastern spirituality .
But there are also many convergences of beliefs in Native American, Chinese and Japanese cultures. According to them, the smoke released by certain plants during their combustion would play an active role in the regulation of energy flows . This can apply to the energies of a house, as for Palo Santo, white sage or feng shui , but also to the vital energies of the individual. In the latter case, we can cite the use of moxibustion in acupuncture and that of essential oils in reflexology .
Meditation candles therefore cover several aspects:
- They release aromatic scents that activate sensory perceptions and release pleasure hormones, thus helping to combat high cortisol levels;
- inhaled essential oils intervene in the cerebral and functional activity of the body to fight against certain pathologies;
- their energetic properties, when they are provided with them, establish a harmonious relationship between the individual and the space which surrounds him, creating a state of well-being conducive to meditative activity ;
- Once this state is reached, the energy circulation pathways , called meridians or chakras, are unblocked and rebalanced.
But this is not the case for all scented candles . Synthetic fragrances and polluting combustion are commonplace in the field of home fragrances . A candle suitable for meditation must:
- be made from natural and organic ingredients, to retain all the energetic and aromatic properties of the plants;
- be poured by hand, using a meticulous artisanal method, in order to preserve the quality of the essential oils and ensure a rich olfactory experience;
- do not release polluting or toxic smoke, the wick must be made of cotton, the body of vegetable wax , for optimal combustion. Many brands accelerate the melting process of candles to reduce their lifespan.
The role of candles in meditation
Meditation fights depression and pain . It also increases emotional intelligence, improves cognitive function and brain plasticity, and shows neuroprotective effects.
Meditation is a spiritual or mental practice that comes in different types: Zen, mindfulness, guided, transcendental… It always consists of focusing one’s attention on a point of concentration . In this context, meditation candles occupy a central place at the level of the senses:
- its aromas facilitate the escape of the mind, emotions and feelings;
- Its flame helps the mind focus on its internal movements, it acts as a focal point for hypnotic movements. This is even the subject of a specific meditation called candle meditation .
Meditation is found in Buddhist, veradic, Kabbalistic, hesychast, and Sufi traditions. Candles are also useful for accompanying certain breathing exercises in yoga , such as alternate nostril breathing . Nadi Shodhana, for example, helps calm the mind and slow the flow of thoughts. It is often used before meditation to prepare the mind and body .
By accompanying your meditation , relaxation , yoga or massage sessions with a candle with energetic virtues , you will promote a virtuous mechanism. The body , mind , soul and the space around you will tend towards a beneficial harmony conducive to inner peace . By facilitating the circulation of energies , you will fight against stress and anxiety , find calm and rest , and achieve a better quality of life .
Candles for meditation are therefore recommended to cleanse the energies of your living spaces , facilitate tranquility and mental disconnection . Guided meditation with candles is a technique that is completely complementary to that of energy therapies .
