Feng Shui Candles Hot Trends Enhance A Room
Feng Shui candles are beautiful and a hot decorating trend. Every room looks beautiful when lit with a candle. If you are decorating with candles and using the principles of Feng Shui, follow the bagua (The Bagua is a Tibetan analysis tool) for ideal placement of those candles. Get the most sparks out of your candle, let it support you with a goal or adjust the energy of an area.
As with everything in Feng Shui, intention is the first place to start. Know your intention and place the candle with a clear visualisation of the goal. Candles will illuminate and enlighten a space, alter, dark corner of a room or even your inner spirit. The following are some examples for using candles with a little mystical Feng Shui.
Candlelight is romantic. Every woman looks better in the soft glow of a candle. The lights of the candle flicker against walls and bouncing silhouettes provoke conversation and imagination. Place two candles in the partnership area of the bagua and enhance an existing relationship or find a new one. Make the candles any shade of pink and the colour supports your goal even more. Every Feng Shui bedroom feels better when candles are lit.
Candles are soothing. When floating candles are placed in a whirlpool tub, the invitation is irresistible. Pillar candles around the sides of the bathtub softly light the bathroom when no lights are on.
Candles smell luxurious. Blending aromatherapy and candles is another hot trend for interior Feng Shui decorating ideas. Many candles claim the use of all “natural” or aromatherapy. Check the label of the candle to ensure the use of real essential oils in the candle. If the oils are natural and not synthetic, the candle serves the purpose of relaxation or stimulation as the oils intend.
Candles are beautiful. Candles come in every colour of the rainbow. Place candles in the areas of the home you want to enhance. Metaphors are used liberally in Feng Shui. Place red in a fame and reputation area to get your business name out into the public. Place a white candle in your workroom if you want to spark the creative juices. Place a yellow candle in the centre of the home or office if you want to honour the heart of the space and support a healthy lifestyle. Purple is the wealth colour, add a smaller number of candles in this area as wood is the element of wealth, and you don’t want too much fire that will “burn up the wood or your money”.
Candles go along for the ride. Hotel and motel rooms usually have stale air when you open the door. To overcome this, light a small candle and let it burn for a short period. The scent as well as the element of fire will neutralise and purify the air.
Candles light up your spirit. If you need the answer to a problem, lighting a candle in the helpful people area calls guidance from the Universe. You would be surprised how quickly the answer comes when you shed candlelight on a question with intention. Alters in a home are quite common and can be uplifting. Light candles on your home alter and feel the support and inspiration from within.
Candles require a certain amount of safety and maintenance. Once the candle has extinguished, replace it as soon as possible. Not having a candle in a holder is unfinished business. Never leave candles unattended in any room, and keep them a safe distance from anything that could catch fire.
