For centuries candles of different colors have been burned to attract desired emotions, material wealth, or karma. Candles can be one of the most effective tools used for meditation, rituals and other ceremonies. The size of the candles you use is not important. Colours however have some impact.

Only fresh candles should be used. This avoids issues with candles that have picked up negative energies and vibrations interfering with the ritual or meditation and adversely affecting the outcome. Traditionally, candles should not be blown out.

Reiki

Since Reiki is a universal life energy, it can be stored in almost anything. Everything is capable of storing Reiki energy, and many Reiki practitioners charge various objects with Reiki energy in order to increase the amount of Reiki they can infuse into their clients during a treatment. Reiki practitioners can also charge such items as candles with Reiki energy in order to provide their loved ones with some Reiki in order to improve their wellbeing.

§  Purchase some ordinary candles. Many places, sell candles in bulk, and can easily be accessed online. Buying candles in bulk can save a lot of money, and instead of charging each candle with Reiki individually, the entire box can be charged in one session.

§  Choose whether or not to buy scented candles. Scented candles work very well with Reiki, as their smell adds an aromatherapy aspect to the Reiki released by burning the candle. However, make sure that a recipient is not put off by the smell of the scented candle, or worse, is allergic to the scent.

§     Wash your hands, then soak them in a bowl of water before placing them on the candle to charge it with Reiki. Dirty hands can impede the flow of Reiki energy, as can jewelry. Make sure that your hands are completely free of any objects that may interfere with the transfer of Reiki into the candle.

§  Charge the candle with Reiki energy.(10-15) minutes, write down your intension on a paper with clear aim as it has already been achieved, repeat the statement during charging the candle. or as your intuition guides you. Place your hands on the candle, almost as though caressing it, then begin charging the candle with Reiki energy. Don’t worry about what kind of Reiki energy is being charged with or about how it is supposed to heal the recipient, since Reiki energy is supposed to go where it is most needed on a person.
