How to Charge a Candle

Candles are used for more than home décor. People burn candles to make themselves feel better and to manifest something specific in their lives. If you burn candles for intended purposes, then you'll need to charge your candles. Follow these easy steps to help you charge your candles.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

1. Choose a candle. The best size candle to buy is a small pillar or votive. They are the best size to use when you're only going to burn for a short period of time. Go to any store that sells candles and pick one that you want to burn. Remember that different colors represent different things.
2. Find a quiet place. Pick a place that makes you feel safe and powerful. This is an important element when charging a candle. The place can be anywhere, as long as it's special to you. Also, find a place where you will not be disturbed while charging your candle.
3. Get a carving utensil. Buy a carving utensil for the sole purpose of charging your candles. You don't want to use a carving utensil that you use every day around your home. The utensil should be special and only used for charging. What you carve into the candle is up to you. The most common things craved into candles are initials, words, and symbols.
4. Familiarize yourself with different essential oils. Like colors different essential oils mean different things. Find a book that has a list of essential oils and what they each do. Stock yourself with different oils to rub on the candle as you charge it.
5. Focus on your intention. As you stand in your special place, crave, and rub essential oil onto your candle, focus on your intention. Quiet your mind as you touch your candle. You want to put your energy into the candle. This charges your candle and makes it powerful. Remember to burn the candle for the intended purpose only.
