How to Start a Candle Ritual for Self-Care
In today’s fast-paced world, finding time for yourself can be a challenge, but creating a candle ritual for self-care is a simple and effective way to unwind. Imagine this: you’ve had a long day, and you finally get a moment to sit down with your favorite book (or, if you’re like me, a good manga!). You light your favorite luxury soy wax candle, and the soft glow immediately begins to calm your mind.
Why Candle Rituals Work for Self-Care
Candles do more than just add a pleasant scent to your space; they set the mood for relaxation. Whether it’s the subtle floral notes of our gardenia white tea candle or the soothing warmth of our customer favorite, Sunrise - a blend of chamomile and plumeria, lighting a candle gives you a chance to slow down and focus on you.
For me, nothing beats lighting a candle while diving into a few new manga chapters. The flicker of the flame, paired with the calming scent, creates the perfect atmosphere to unwind. And if you prefer something else to relax with—whether it's a novel, a bath, or just some quiet time—you’ll find that a candle ritual enhances that experience, helping you recharge and reset.
Steps to Create Your Own Candle Ritual:
-
Set the Scene: Find a comfortable spot in your home—whether it's a cozy reading nook or your favorite corner of the couch. Light a candle that fits your mood. I love the Pikake (jasmine) and the newest Autumn scent, Chamomile Vanilla Honey.
-
Be Present: As your candle burns, take a deep breath and let the scent fill the room. Focus on the moment. This is your time to disconnect from the chaos of the day.
-
Enhance the Experience: Pair your candle with a fragrance roller. Apply our Gardenia roller to your wrists or neck, so that even when you're not next to your candle, you carry that relaxing scent with you.
-
Enjoy Your Time: Whether it’s reading, journaling, or simply enjoying a cup of tea, allow yourself this uninterrupted time. If you're like me, reading manga while the calming scent of chamomile plumeria from the Sunrise candle fills the room can turn any stressful day into a peaceful one.
