A slender dinner candle that fills a room with both light and a gentle fragrance. This piece is made in the spirit of the Third Chakra (Manipura), Solar Plexus Chakra, bringing the mood of rosemary, lemon and ginger 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 willpower, confidence and personal power, and its traditional colour is yellow. 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 rosemary, lemon and ginger 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 yellow colour to this chakra, and the fragrance evokes the mood of that theme.
How to use it
Ideal for the morning of an important day, focused work, or setting a confident 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.
