How to use candles during meditation

A candle can become a simple element of your dedicated meditation space. The light of the flame can be chosen as a visual focal point to return your attention to during your practice, according to your own preferences.

Prepare your space

Choose a quiet, stable location with a heat-resistant surface to place your candle on. Before lighting it, ensure it is away from curtains, paper, and other flammable materials.

You can choose the color based on the personal intention you wish to represent: calm, presence, grounding, or introspection.

How to integrate the candle into your practice

If you decide to use a lit candle, place it at an appropriate distance and observe the flame without straining your gaze. You can use it as a visual reference for a few moments, or prefer an unlit candle as a symbolic element of your space.

There is no single method that works for everyone: choose what best suits your habits and the instructions of your practice.

Choosing your candle

CanBee slim candles are made from 100% natural beeswax with a natural cotton wick. They are available in various colors and sizes, so you can choose the one you prefer for your personal space.

Burn time varies based on the model and usage conditions. Consult the specifications of the chosen product.

Safety during meditation

Never leave a lit candle unattended, even during meditation. If you close your eyes, step away, or risk falling asleep, extinguish the flame. Keep the candle away from children, pets, and flammable materials, and always use a stable, heat-resistant base.
