So I listen to a lot of music and I burn a lot of incense or woods like palo santo and herbs like sage when I've got my vibes going. It's something about the earth, something so grounded, sparking a flame and then drifting into the infinite. How it dances. Sensual. Free. That evolution of elements. It really intrigues me.
Recently I've begun lighting the flame, breathing deeply and affirming something, setting an intention then blowing. "Money comes to me easily and effortlessly" or "My actions express the deepest part of my creativity" Sending that intention into an infinite space.
This candle was my introduction to this practice. It is a handmade customized candle created by a dear friend of mine, Sunshine. She has such a delightful spirit and I'm so grateful for how intentional she is with the magic she pours into a jar. After a full consultation, exploring my intent, my current state of mind, and what I wanted the candle to bring into my life, she created this beautiful Rose Sage soy candle for me. I was about a week into being in my new home and the prayer on the candle was filled with affirmations that would allow my home to be the sanctuary it is today. I would recite the prayer each time I lit the candle. There was no instruction to do this but it just felt right. And it has truly manifested so much love and good energy into my home. The candles are lit, the incense are dancing, the music is loud, and its a vibe! My candle reads.
Heavenly Being, Bless My Knew Home And Make It A Warm Dwelling For All Who Visit, Brimming With Warmth And Contentment For Family And Friends. Continuously, Allow Peace In This House And Let It Be A Haven For Safety. May Love And Joy Reside In My Home And Be In The Hearts Of All Guests That Enter. Guide Me In This New Chapter Of My Life And Have Truth Be A Dear Friend, Bless This House And Make It Home. And So It is. Yours Truly, Sunshine ✳︎
Hopefully my jams from April will spark something grounded in you. Allowing you to dance in a space where you recognize those divine intentions, whatever they may be. And those intentions may be surrendered into the air, the invisible, the infinite space that we exist in and exists in us. Ever-flowing, ever-true.
april jams.
