A single candle, seven colours – and a mood that unfolds slowly. This layered candle gathers the colours of the seven main chakras into one piece, cast in stearin, scented with essential oils, in recycled glass with a cork coaster.
The seven chakras
In tradition, the chakras are subtle energy centres along the midline of the body, following the line of the spine. The best known are the seven main chakras, each linked by tradition to its own colour and quality – from the deep red of the root chakra to the violet of the crown. This candle presents these seven colours, layered one above the other. (The spiritual meaning of the chakras is part of tradition, not a medical effect.)
One candle, seven layers
The flame travels down through the layers step by step, so the candle's colour slowly changes as it "moves through" the sequence of chakras. It can be a lovely companion to a meditation or a quiet evening, when there is time to watch the gentle transitions of light and colour.
Scent and material
The candle is made of stearin, a plant wax from sustainable farming, and scented with essential oils. The recycled glass holder holds the wax steadily, and the cork coaster protects the surface you place it on. Dimensions: 21 × 6.5 cm.
Where it belongs
On a home altar, in a meditation corner, for evening reading or a bath. The warm, living light instantly changes the mood of a room, and it also makes a thoughtful gift for anyone who loves the chakra theme.
Safety
Never leave a burning candle unattended, and keep it away from children, pets and flammable objects. Place it on a stable, heat-resistant surface, away from draughts.
