How to Do Candle Meditation
1. Prepare Your Space:
Choose a quiet room. Dim the lights and ensure there's no breeze. You want a steady, calming light.
2. Set Up the Candle:
Place the candle at eye level, about 20 inches or 50 cm away, on a stable surface. Use a candle with a long burn time to avoid interruptions. Instead of using your own candle. Watch the video on this page below instead.
3. Get Comfortable:
Sit with your back straight, either on a chair or cross-legged on the floor. Ensure you’re comfortable.
4. Begin the Practice:
Light the candle and take deep breaths to relax. Focus your gaze on the flame. If your mind wanders, gently bring your attention back.
5. Visualization Techniques:
Visualize the flame as a source of love and light, burning away negative thoughts. Imagine the light spreading outwards, symbolizing infinite consciousness.
6. Closing the Session:
When you can’t keep your eyes open, close them and visualize the flame in your mind’s eye. Focus on this inner image until it fades. Finish by sitting quietly for a few more minutes.
Tips for Effective Candle Meditation
- Use Unscented Candles: Scented candles can be distracting.
- Safety Precautions: Ensure the candle is safely placed. Consult an eye doctor if you have eye conditions.
- Practice Regularly: Start with 5-minute sessions and gradually increase the duration. Consistency is key.
