Reiki Charged Candles

Crystal Journey makes some awesome candles.The skinny pillars are my favorite. And the colors are great! I also love that they have a line of candles that are infused with Reiki energy.

What this means is that you can give them to friends who don’t yet know how to do Reiki for themselves. (You can’t be on call to perform Reiki 24/7 you know. :P ) I also like using them around my home, especially when I’m cramped for time and not able to spend as much time practicing self-Reiki as I would like. Plus, let’s just face it, they are pretty!

As Reiki practitioners though, we can charge our own candles. At home, I’ve charged up a few Yankee candle jars and a bag of tea lights. The type of candle doesn’t matter. Just pick something you like. And you can also find inexpensive candles in lots of places like craft stores and warehouse stores.

You can take it one step further by making your own candles too! I just started giving that a try. Pictured here are the results of my first attempt at making them.

The star and flower shaped ones are green apple scented. The yellow ones are made out of beeswax. I sent Reiki into them throughout the entire process. I started with the protection symbol as I would with any session. And I put in the intentions for them to release the Reiki energy when the candle is burned. You can also add in the intention of energy to be released when the candle isn’t burning or both. It’s totally up to you how you want to work that.

Oh, but I will suggest caution if you try this with the beeswax. I rolled them up and molded their shape but the Reiki energy made my hands so hot that the shape was hard to set. Every time I touch them, I softened the wax again. It’s actually kinda funny. :P

The other one pictured here is a coffee candle. It’s pretty much a disaster of a project but I thought to share it anyway. I have a lot to learn about making candles, but despite it’s less than perfect appearance, the Reiki energy is still flowing. And it smells yummy! :)

What about you? Have you ever used a Reiki infused candle before? If so, how did you like it? Have you ever charged one yourself before? Have you ever made a candle before? If so, share some tips please. Looks like I need them! :P

    This really excites me. I hadn’t even thought of other applications for Reiki, besides actual hands-on. Aaaaand, after my Queen of Wands exploration, I was inspired to create a line of bath products. Just imagine the possibilities when combined with Reiki!

    I’m sure that coffee candle smells AMAZING. I used to make candles out of melted down crayons, molded in empty pudding cups. The only tip I can give you is don’t get crayon on the burners because your mom will be angry when the house smells like burning plastic!

    Ooh, bath products are a great place for using Reiki. I put Reiki symbols into my bath all the time. Adding it to salts, soaps, etc, is an added plus. :)

    Haha. That’s too funny. Yeah, I’ll aim to not get melted crayon on the carpet. :P

    When giving healing sessions, I use tea light candles that I’ve charged with reiki.
