A slender dinner candle whose deep, resinous-woody fragrance evokes a solemn quiet. This piece is made in the spirit of the seventh, crown chakra (Sahasrara), bringing the mood of frankincense, myrrh and sandalwood essential oils to the meditation corner or the dinner table.
The crown chakra in tradition
The chakra tradition places the seven main energy centres along the spine. The seventh and highest centre, known in Sanskrit as Sahasrara, is associated with spirituality, openness and higher awareness; its traditional colours are violet and white. Frankincense and myrrh have been classic resins of sacred incense for millennia, and sandalwood is the warm, creamy-woody companion of meditation – together this trio suits the solemn mood of the crown chakra. The candle gives that mood light and scent; it promises no fact and makes no medical claim.
Fragrance and material
The candle is made of stearin and scented with essential oils, with frankincense, myrrh and sandalwood 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 violet colour to the crown chakra, and the fragrance evokes the deep, resinous mood of that theme.
How to use it
Ideal for closing a meditation practice, an evening wind-down, or burning the full chakra series together, from the root chakra to here. This candle is the closing piece of the seven-part chakra dinner-candle set. 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.
