Candle burning goes as far back as the
ancient Egyptians. They were not used by the Egyptians just for light, they
also used them in forms of prayer and ritual. From ancient times all the way up
to the present time candles are widely used in the practice of prayer and ritual.
When you go into a church there are candles burning on the alter and it is
certainly not because the priest needs some light. We see candles at weddings
when they are lit to ensure a long happy marriage. They are even burned at
funerals in honor of the dead. Candles have a special energy and power to them,
a power that many are not aware of.
Candles are good for good for mindful relaxation, too,
like when you intend to release negative energy, such as anxiety and stress. Also,
candles are utilized during séances, wherein the psychic medium and the
participants gather their collective energies, with the intention of
communicating with the spirits of the departed. Many psychics also light
candles when making psychic predictions, and while conducting a reading.
Furthermore, candles have a way of changing the
ambience in a room, making it more subdued and calm. This sense of calmness
that candles radiate allows you to become more sensitive to your psychic
senses, and become more connected with the universe.
• Select a candle that you feel most comfortable with.
Listen to your intuitive senses when choosing the colour, shape, size, and
scent.
Always use a new candle, because those that have
already been lit have embedded energies in them from when they were previously
used.
• Go to a quiet room with minimal wind or draft.
• Light your candle and close your eyes.
• Meditate. Relax your mind and body, and when your
breathing becomes relaxed, express your intention. Visualize your desire in
your mind, and mentally affirm it is what you want.
• Remember that when you state your desire, you need
not plead or beg.
• Believe, claim, and thank the universe. Because you
know without a doubt that what you intend will come to pass, it's only fitting
that you send out your appreciation to the universe as well.
• Now, release your intention. You can do this by
either blowing out the flame, or by allowing the candle to burn out on its own.
Once you release your desire, stop thinking about it. The universe will handle
the details. Know with confidence that it's yours, leaving the details up to
the Universe
• Then bring your awareness back into the room.
Candles are a great psychic tool to use for focusing
and releasing your power of intention.
