There is something unique about Candle’s burning. Throughout history candles have been used to provide calm, symbolise peace and provide a focus for meditation. In the 15th Century, St Francis of Assisi wrote:
“All the darkness in the world cannot extinguish the light of a single candle.”
Here at Space to Breathe we’ve used Candles through our 7 hear history of ways of bringing calm and grounding ourselves in tough and stressful times. That’s why we’re now delighted to offer our own Space to Breathe candles to buy on the website - either single candles or packs of three, created in partnership with the brilliant Yorkshire Candle Company.
Wellbeing Focus
These Candle’s are different partly because they have a wellbeing focus.
Firstly the single candle has a quote from Anne Frank and a reflection aimed at considering the candle as a metaphor and reflective tool for a mindful activity.
Then if you buy the three pack, you also get a Meditation Card, Ideas sheet and MP3 and video material included to make it a wonderful all round wellbeing experience.
One of the key benefits of candles lies in their ability to engage our senses. Scented candles, infused with essential oils can have profound effects on mood. These candles are Yorkshire Candle Company’s iconic “Peak District” scent - embodying the invigorating scent of open moorlands, intermingled with the delicate notes of wildflowers that dot the landscape. .Lighting a candle like this at the end of a long day can become a soothing ritual, signaling the mind to transition from stress to rest.
Candles also provide a gentle focus for mindfulness or meditation. Watching the flame dance and flicker can help quiet a busy mind, encouraging us to be present. This simple act can reduce anxiety and promote a sense of grounding. That’s the heart of the additional resources and ideas we’ve provided to make these candles a unique gift for someone else or a wonderful treat for yourself.
You can buy these Candles in our shop today, as well as the brilliant Candle Making Kits we also have in store. All the profits from these items go back into working with mental health so there’s a double win for investing in them. You can find links to order below. Single Candle is £7.99 and the three Candle Pack is £19.99. We hope you really like them.
