Lift Your Mood With Aromatherapy Candles
By Chris Robertson
Only a few generations ago, were purely utilitarian, serving as the primary source of light in the home. Today, we view as decorative, enhancing the appearance of our table settings, our living room decor, and our bathrooms. All too often, however, we neglect to light our candles, whether because we feel that actually using them will spoil their appearance or simply because it never crosses our minds.

While beautiful globe and vase can indeed be objets d'art, you're doing yourself a disservice if you simply admire them and never burn them. - whether they're jar candles, tin candles, or taper - can help you to get in touch with your innermost feelings, create a soft glow that you can share with those you love, and lift your spirits.

The Power of the Flame

There's something about the process of lighting a candle that puts us in touch with our primal feelings. While fire is a meaningful and powerful aspect of human evolution, we are rarely exposed to the power of the flame. After all, today's fireplaces are either fueled by gas or the fire is contained behind a screen. A candle flame is exposed and powerful, reminiscent of the ages when having fire meant warmth and survival. For some people, lighting is almost ritualistic, but almost everyone who burns feels at least a twinge of awareness about the power that fire holds.

The Power of the Scent

Beyond the symbolism of the flame, though, can exert other powerful influences. Today's aromatherapy can help calm us down, re-energize us, and help us achieve inner harmony. That's because aromatherapy incorporate what are called essential oils - oils that have been extracted from herbs, flowers, trees, and plants that have healing properties.
