Lighting a candle is a meditative ritual that connects you to your inner quiet and the rest of the world. Feel a sense of belonging. Slow down and give your full attention during these times.
We often want to help others but are unsure about the right action. Offering a blessing is one technique that can illuminate the issue and assist you in making the proper decision.
Light a Candle for Inner Reflection Method
Some of the most difficult life lessons must be learned alone, without the help of others. By offering a benediction, you acknowledge your intention to serve. Recognize that everything, even the toughest life situations, has a positive side.
A prayer candle can be lit for yourself, another person, or a situation. In a moment of silence alone, bow your head. Address your prayer to God, Allah, the angels, the universe, your higher self, or whatever source of spiritual strength you draw from. In quiet, say a prayer.
Sit in stillness for a few moments before lighting an affirmation candle. Release any negative thoughts that have been lingering in your head. Only pleasant thoughts should be allowed to reside there. Close your eyes and imagine a world where everyone is happy and prosperous.
Make a genuine affirmation statement quietly, or write one on a note next to the candle. Light an inner reflection candle to begin your meditation or visualization exercise. Intend for the light to act as a lantern, directing your mind to the most appropriate path for your needs.
Before lighting the candle, repeat the following statement: "I request this for the highest good of all parties involved." Release your need to have your prayer answered explicitly to allow your spirit to identify the best light path for you.
Close your eyes or allow your vision to blur slightly as you concentrate on the candle's flame. Candlelight can be utilized to obtain insight or enlightenment through divination.
Never do this meditation in an unsafe manner.
