A sun-yellow, lively flame that makes it easy to gather yourself. This scented candle is made in the spirit of the third chakra, the solar plexus chakra – evoking a mood of willpower, confidence and inner fire.
The solar plexus chakra in tradition
The chakra tradition places the seven main energy centres along the spine. The third, around the diaphragm at the solar plexus, is known in Sanskrit as Manipura; tradition associates it with willpower, confidence, personal power and resolve. Its traditional colour is yellow. This tradition pictures the centre as a place of inner fire and ready momentum. The candle gives that sunny mood a light; it promises no fact and no effect.
Material and design
The candle has a stearin/paraffin base with a fragrance composition suited to the chakra, set in glass. It measures roughly 20 × 3.7 cm and burns with a steady, quiet flame. The yellow colour and fresh scent evoke the theme of the solar plexus chakra, continuing the seven-chakra series as its third piece.
How to use it
Ideal for the morning of an important day, for thinking through goals, for focused work, or for setting a confident, ready mood. The chakra candles are lovely as a series too: the seven centres can be followed from the red root chakra up to the violet crown. Trim the wick before lighting and set it on a stable, heat-resistant surface.
Good to know
Never leave a burning candle unattended, and keep it away from flammable objects, children and pets.
