At some point, we all light a candle so that it gives light to something or someone, to illuminate some aspect of our life… Beyond the very metaphor of the act, the light and heat of this small flame, this gesture, this simile that we do consciously and many times with a certain intention, it has its parallelism in our subconscious and its intention has more power than we think.
Next I will show you ways to consecrate a candle. To consecrate means to make sacred, «to allocate for…» to give it an intention and a purpose.
The consecration of our own candle is an intimate and personal process. It is through this act that we impregnate our candle (on an energetic level) with the specific purpose that we desire, through the energy of thought, intention, visualization and emotion. Strength and power are printed so that the energy of all the magical elements that we wish to incorporate into the act, as symbols that have an intention for us and help us channel that «intention» (color, aroma, crystals, photos, objects, etc.) and the energy moves based on this specific purpose. In this way, we put together all the pieces to create a magical, living and powerful candle.
Below I detail a few simple steps to have our own candle. We will turn it on whenever we want to give light to our purposes. When we deviate from our goals, to remember and illuminate the path and for which we created it. I hope you like it and enjoy your own light.
CONSECRATE A CANDLE FOR OURSELVES
- Create a sacred space for this moment, you can harmonize it with incense, candles, music and everything that is in tune with what you are going to do. Create an intimate and relaxed atmosphere. It is important that you know and can have a «little moment of peace» for yourself.
- Keep in mind the purpose for which you wish to consecrate your candle. If you’re having trouble concentrating, take a few deep breaths and get into a comfortable position.
- Rub the palms of your hands to open your energy centers and visualize a white ray entering through the crown of your head, connecting you with the Divine Source of Light, visualize how this ray descends through your forehead, throat and heart, to finally find exit through your hands. This exercise may be strange for those who have never done it before or had contact with their own energy, but I assure you that the sensation is impressive. Start by putting a little imagination to the visualization and you will see how it becomes a real sensation.
- Take your candle in your hands and mentally consecrate your candle, you can do it through simple words like: «I consecrate this candle for……and your purpose. If you find it strange to hear yourself saying these words, do it mentally. Continue with your candle in your hands, feel how your hands vibrate and how on a mental level you are transmitting your thoughts. Repeat the affirmation as many times as you need. Remember that the purposes are good, for example, consecrate it to find love and not to force someone to love you.
- Continue with your candle in your hands and now visualize what it would be like if you achieved your purpose, for example, if you are working with a purpose to increase the flow of money, visualize yourself with economic freedom, what sensations and emotions would this sensation of economic relief cause, Finally, visualize and project all the images to your candle. In this part you can see and look for the how, try to visualize the entire trajectory of your purpose. It will help you to redirect and to know the raisins and achievements that you are getting little by little until you reach your end.
- Now allow yourself to feel how happy you would be if you achieved your project, allow yourself to feel all the positive emotions possible, joy, peace, serenity, love, freedom, etc. All emotions are being sealed in your candle. Feel the final joy of a purpose achieved, your reward at the end of the road.
- When you finish, give thanks for this moment and thank the candle for the work you will do together.
- Your candle is already consecrated.
THE MAGICAL ELEMENTS
Consecration is what «gives life» to a candle, because it is right there where we impregnate, through energy, the purpose to work. Without the consecration, the candle is nothing more than a material object without energy power. It is through consecration that all the magical and vibratory elements that we add are enhanced. We can always light a candle for a specific purpose, but it is by working on it that we infuse it with the most power.
If you surround yourself with vibratory or magical elements (colors, essences, quartz or herbs) make sure they are related to the purpose you want to work for (love, money, work, health, etc.). If you have doubts about the use of these elements, I suggest you work only with white candles, which we can consider as «universal» since white contains all colors, therefore, it is adaptable to any purpose.
You can always incorporate the environment of the candle, as an altar, all those objects that have meaning for you and for the desired purpose. All these «objects», with a personal meaning for us impregnated by our own energy and motivation, will dress the environment and the ritual with our own magic and personality. They are reminders of our purpose and for which we light this beacon in the form of a candle.
