A slender dinner candle that fills a room with both light and a gentle fragrance. This piece is made in the spirit of the Second Chakra (Svadhisthana), Sacral Chakra, bringing the mood of orange, jasmine and ylang-ylang essential oils to the dinner table or the meditation corner.
The chakra in tradition
The chakra tradition places the seven main energy centres along the spine. Tradition associates this centre with emotion, creativity and balance, and its traditional colour is orange. In the imagery of this tradition each centre marks a level of awareness; this candle simply gives that mood light and scent. It promises no fact and makes no medical claim – the fragrance and the flame just help you settle into a calm moment.
Fragrance and material
The candle is made of stearin and scented with essential oils, with orange, jasmine and ylang-ylang at the heart of the composition. It has a slender dinner shape, measures roughly 21 × 2.2 cm, and burns from a cotton wick with a steady flame. Tradition links the orange colour to this chakra, and the fragrance evokes the mood of that theme.
How to use it
Ideal for creative work, sensual and intimate evenings, or setting a light mood. The chakra dinner candles are lovely as a series too: the seven centres can be followed from the root chakra to the crown, each with its own fragrance. Set it in a stable candle holder on a heat-resistant surface and trim the wick before lighting.
Good to know
Keep it out of draughts, which shorten the burning time. Never leave a burning candle unattended, and keep it away from children, pets and flammable objects.
