Embracing Change as a Season of Growth…
September carries a special kind of magic. It’s the moment between the bright, fiery energy of summer and the grounding and reflective nature of fall. This can mirror what’s happening inside of us…letting go, making room for something new, and learning to trust the process of change. For many of us change can feel overwhelming, but when approached with intention change becomes an invitation for growth Nathan then something to fear.
The Power of Candlelight in Times of Transition…
Candles have always been more than just wax and wick; they are a tool for connection, reflection, and intention setting. When the world feels uncertain, lighting a candle can be a simple, powerful act of self-care.
Release: Black and white candles can both be used for release. Try to pair with a calming scent of lavender or sage. Speak your affirmation of what you are ready to let go of…old habits…self-doubt…etc.
Clarity: Yellow and orange are great for clarity. Try adding a scent of citrus or rosemary to help refresh energy and creativity.
Peace: Neutral color candle and a nice earthy scent like a chamomile or sandalwood can help to center and ground.
Here at Cyan Candle Co., we believe in the energy candles carry.
