Maybe you are burning that special devotional candle in memory of that special someone or even to set the ambiance for that romantic evening.
ChryssaChalkia, a psychotherapist writes within the UK Counselling Directory – “Candles are scientifically proven to soothe us” she goes on further to explain that “Our sense of smell is incredibly powerful and shouldn’t be underestimated. The smell of the scented candle stimulates the part of your brain which is connected to memory and mood. From boosting energy through to relieving stress or even enhancing mental clarity, the healing properties coming from a lighted scented candle can deliver psychological effects.”

Candles are also used around the world during a variety of different occasions. As a matter of a fact, religious candles are often used as an important part of prayer rituals within the Christian, Jewish, Buddhist, Hinduism and many other faiths. Traditionally, the candle itself is a symbol of adding light to darkness and has a significant meaning and role to play within many religions around the world.
