I have a Master's degree in applies psychology -- and am a certified aromatherapist as well. (How many of us actually got a job in the field we graduated in from the get go? Right? There you have it!) Not like degrees and credentials always mean something... but honestly: I know what I am doing, I promise! 😅😅
This Aromatherapy candle is handmade by me and finished with herbs and crystals. It is designed to draw upon the energy of the root chakra (red in color, which is responsible for grounding and focus). As a licensed Holistic practitioner, I use the principals of Feng Shui to design candles that actually work.
SO: how and why does it work?
- This candle is lightly scented with the essential oils (light, non-disturbing scent) of the blends that help increase focus and concentration and calm the nerves: lemon, grapefruit, rosemary
- The calm flicker of the flame and the red color have a grounding effect
- The crystals work as a prism for the light, thus focusing its energy -- which, in tern, will send a signal to your brain to focus as well.
(FAQ: these are stalactite crystals -- not any specific mineral. This is why they melt, and their healing properties are limited to those of focusing the light)
Light it when you need to think through something, during a difficult time or simply when you can use a focus and concentration boost. (place on your desk or table). It will help during study or homework, or to improve office work environment
Simply look at the at the flame - it going to flicker and crackle like the camp fire. You will feel the "noise" in your head clear, creating the much needed silent space. You will feel a sense of calm as well.
The beautiful, large crystals catch and refocus the glow of the fire to help with the effect. These stalactite - type crystals will melt in the fire. This, in fact, is very symbolic: the crystal yields up its energy and disappears slowly, by releasing its benefits to you.
Thee size of the candle is that of a regular tealight (1.5" in diameter). Each one burns for around 4-5 hours -- enough to finish a difficult assignment. (After that kind of period of concentration it is best to take a break anyway!)
This candle will help you think, relax your mind and re-focus your energy away from fear and anxiety.
(If you're looking for a longer lasting or a more-than-mild solution, however... well, I guess you can buy 10 of these, and the effect will cover 40 hours, then. One work week -- with all the "joys" (@#$%!) of working from home! 😂😂 -- or at the office, in a (!@#$%^&^^#!) mask all day! 😂😂🤣. But please check my store and consider the salt diffuser and the focus herb blend. You can only put so much into a 1.5" candle. The diffuser, on the other hand, will not only have a lot stronger calming and clarifying effect, it will also clear your energy field from negative energies. Remember those vibes you've been feeling from your would-be-pissed-off boy friend when you got into that fight? Those vibes followed you home, didn't they? This is what I am talking about. This candle has a clearing effect like this as well -- but usually just enough when only being in your immediate personal space. The diffuser, however, will cover the whole house. On the other hand, the candle is a lot more esthetically prettier, and just the ritual of lighting a candle has a profound grounding effect. I am just letting you know of other options here. In fact, there is no harm in trying both -- for different moments and different states of mind).
BUT CAN A CANDLE REALLY BE AN END SOLUTION? Can a solution for restoring focus, improving productivity, clearing mind fog and overcoming anxiety be so simple?
HERE IS MY PROFESSIONAL OPINION: This candle will certainly help. It will help you THINK. It will help you calm down, so that you CAN think. It will free your mind by stopping the vicious spin of your thoughts jumping back and forth between 2-3 ideas in an endless circle. But having the right understanding of what is going on and other tools for dealing with these issues will only improve your results. THIS IS WHY I AM GOING TO SEND YOU ANOTHER "VIBE" WITH YOUR PURCHASE..
VIBE stands for Virtual Interactive Book Experience. It is a lot more satisfying to read than a PDF (you don't have to scroll sideways!), and also includes videos and other interactive elements.
After your purchase -- the day I ship your candle -- I will send you a download (basically, a link) here in Etsy messages. This "7 Little Known Tips and Hacks to Restore Focus" virtual interactive e-book will help you use other important techniques, understandings and approaches in your endeavor to get on track to a more organized, focused, independent and decisive YOU.
