Whatever your manifesting ritual, using candles for manifestation will add an extra dimension and power to your creating ability.
In this article we will look how to use manifestation candles and the candle color meanings. I will also give you a step by step manifestation practice to try.
What is Manifestation?
Manifestation means you create what you want by changing your vibration through changing your thoughts and emotions.
It is based on the law of attraction which states you get what you focus on.
But manifestation does not mean you can sit back and do nothing, you also have to take inspired action. However, when you change your vibration your actions will naturally change and come from an inspired place.
You can use manifestation to create anything you want from wealth, relationships, health to getting a better job.
The reason it works is because everything is one one energy, your thoughts and emotions are the same energy as money, they vibrate at different frequencies that is why they seem different.
And because everything is connected, when you change your thoughts and feelings you will effect everything else.
Positive thoughts and emotions lead to other positive things.
Why Use Candles For Manifestation?
Candles are beautiful and have a calming, peaceful energy. Being peaceful and calm not only helps you manifest. they also help reduce any sense of unworthiness you have by getting you in touch with your higher self.
When you Manifest with candles we also call it candle magick.
Here are three more reasons why candles are great for manifesting…
1. Candles Represent Transformation
Manifesting is about transforming energy from one appearance to another. You take your thoughts and emotions and transform them into your desire. This is what a candles represents.
A candle transforms from solid wax into liquid wax and then into a combination of heat, light, and various gases as it burns.
When you use candles to manifest, you are connecting with this process in a deep and spiritual way.
Visualize lighting the candle as representing you setting your intention and the flame and smoke as representing your intention going out into the universe.
2. Candles For Manifestation Use The Power Of The Elements
Manifesting with candles uses the power of all four elements, fire, air, water and earth. These associations are typically symbolic rather than literal.
Earth: The solid wax of the candle represents the element of Earth. It’s the physical substance from which the candle is made.
Water: The melted wax, which turns into a liquid when you light the candle, can symbolize the element of Water.
Air: The oxygen in the air is necessary for the combustion of the candle’s wick and wax, which produces the flame. The movement of air can also affect the behavior of the flame.
Fire: The flame itself represents the element of Fire, as it provides both heat and light when the candle burns.
3. Candles for Manifestation Will Help You Focus Intention
A candle also gives you something to focus on. Often when we try to visualize our desire, we get in our own way. We think we are not worthy and our mind wonders. Using the candle as a focal point that represents our desire will keep us in align with the vibration we want to put out into the universe.
