Candle of Intention
What It Is
A mindful lighting ritual rooted in remembrance and clarity.
Why It Helps
Fire focuses attention and gives your brain a concrete symbol for release or invitation.
What You Need
Any safe light source and a phrase that captures what you are honoring.
How to Do It
Ground your feet, take three breaths, speak your intention aloud, and light the candle. Sit with the flame for a few minutes.
This Is Not Worship
It is a psychological anchor, similar to lighting a candle in a church or at a vigil.
Variations
Invite a loved one to join over video or write your intention on paper before lighting.
