A stout, grey pillar candle with the Mandala embossed along its side. An unscented, fair-trade candle made for rituals, mindfulness practice, or for accompanying a year or a cycle with intention.
The meaning of the Mandala
The mandala is a concentric geometric pattern organised around a centre, a sacred image and meditation aid in the Hindu and Buddhist traditions. Tradition regards it as a symbol of unity and wholeness.
How to use it
Light it when you wish to centre yourself in the present moment. As the flame flickers, picture the intricate pattern of a mandala unfolding, an image of the cosmos and of yourself. Being unscented, its flame doesn't compete with incense or other fragrance, so the attention can rest purely on presence.
Material and finish
It is made from 100% natural, sustainably sourced palm-kernel wax (stearin) with a cotton wick. Both the candle and the packaging are produced in an environmentally friendly way. It measures roughly 21 x 6.5 cm, a stable pillar candle that lasts.
Safe use
Stand it in a suitable holder on a heat-resistant surface, away from draughts. Trim the wick to about 1 cm before lighting. Never leave a burning candle unattended, and keep it away from children and pets.
