Healing Yourself with Coloured Candle Energy

Uses for Candles

The therapeutic and healing effects of coloured candles must never be underestimated.

Lighting a candle in a healing room, during a healing, will enhance all the energies; both in the room as well as in the patient.

You can light a candle in remembrance of someone that passed on or to light their way to the next world.

Two examples jump to mind here, the Catholics as well as the Jews light them for the departed, secondly in times  past the wife of a sailor would put one in the window to light the way home for her husband.

You can light one to power up any intention, remembering to use the correct colour and following the simple rules for their use.

For example lighting a white candle for love, light and gratitude in you life or lighting a green one for more abundance and prosperity in your life.
