Candles are a powerful tool used to enhance meditation and amplify healing energies. The color of a candle has it's own vibration that is released and magnified when lit. Before using a candle it should be cleansed of any residual negative energy. This can be done by saying a prayer or a blessing before lighting it. Once you use a candle for a specific purpose it should be dedicated to that same use. This allows the vibration of the candle to strengthen and prevents conflicting vibrations from occuring.
