The best candles for meditation - how to choose a scent that will help you calm down?
Meditation is not only a practice of mindfulness, but also a ritual of returning to oneself. One element that can significantly enrich your practice is fragrance. The right meditation candle will help you calm down, focus, build your mood and take your mind off the chaos of everyday life.
Why the scent of a candle matters?
Scents directly affect the limbic system - the part of the brain responsible for emotions and memories. That's why the scent of lavender can be calming, and incense can promote concentration. With scented candles, you can consciously shape your meditation space so that it supports you in tranquility and concentration.
What candles to choose for meditation?
- Candles with natural essential oils - choose products that contain essential oils with calming properties: lavender, frankincense, sandalwood, cedar, patchouli, eucalyptus.
- Candles with a single or wooden wick - a single source of flame has a soothing effect on the nervous system. The wooden wick additionally makes a soft sound reminiscent of a campfire.
- Candles for yoga and meditation - some candles are dedicated to mindfulness practices - their scents are balanced and the design is minimalist.
- Candles with added CBD - some candles contain natural CBD extract. Their effects can promote deeper relaxation and tension reduction.
