Chakra Energy Candles Are New Meditation Tool

Chakra candles are often used by those with New Age leanings as an aid to meditation and prayer. The process involves focusing on a burning candle of the color associated with the particular chakra that the supplicant wishes to open. Many augment this activity by using chakra energy candles, which are enhanced with essential oil blends selected for their aromatherapy benefits relative to balancing the targeted chakra.

Chakra energy candles are a fairly new development in the candle world, and they are increasingly attracting attention from beyond the New Age realm. Aromatherapy practitioners are drawn to their unique synergistic blends and all-natural ingredients, cold pressed palm wax and pure essential oils. Their appeal extends to more mainstream segments of the population with a less defined metaphysical interest as well, in part because the fundamental nature of the individual chakras are incorporated into their names: healing, abundance, happiness, love, protection, money, and positive energy.

The unassuming labels of all seven chakra energy candles are a wealth of information, subtly conveying key data to consumers of very different persuasions. At the top is the simplified English translation of the chakra. Directly below that the chakra's symbol and name appear, followed by a list of the essential oils the candle contains and a brief explanation of the chakra's function. The labels also contain simple instructions for their use.

Whereas chakra energy candles generally are available in well-appointed candle shops and New Age stores, for most people the Internet is the most convenient place to find them. One website where they can be found is wicksworks.com, under New Age products.
