Moments that are perfect time to light your scented candles

“Candles are only for Diwali”

“We use candles only when there is a birthday”

“I got some scented candles, they are so good I never use them unless its a special occasion”

Sounds familiar? In India, we often keep our best silverware and in turn our best candles for guests and special occasions. And this,  needs to change. 

Candles are not just for guests or special occasions, they are self-indulgent and made for self-care and to be used whenever you feel the mood for it! Today in this article lets talk about how we can incorporate using candles in our daily lives and the impact this soothing light and aromatic source has!

To our knowledge, a candle combines the soothing flicker of a flame and the limitless combinations of perfumes and aroma that can titillate your mood, the direction you want it to!

Let’s discuss our highly recommended scenarios where you should absolutely light a candle!

1. With that early morning chai

Just image you get out of bed, a bit groggy craving that chai and you don’t really smell fresh. 

Before diving into your morning routine, imagine you light up a scented candle which has a nice floral smell like the indian mogra or the rose. This aromatic experience sets your mood for the whole day, while you make your cup of chai or cup of joe!

If you are someone who is active, then lighting a candle before your Yoga session, will reap immense benefits. Especially if you feel unfocussed in the morning, just focus your gaze on the flame to center yourself.

Lighting a candle in the morning definitely sets the vibe of the whole day. Take this little effort and see your day light up, just like a natural scented candle.

2. While reading or studying

Reading either for pleasure or for studying, this is an excellent aromatherapy companion!

Why not use a calming scent around while you let your brain exercise or dive into the fantasy world of your favorite novel?

Scented Candles have one simple quality and that is it can make any moment cheerful. Scents send a message to our senses to focus and to enjoy, to live each occasion more deeply.

Books and Candles are the best companions as both have the same properties of reducing mental fatigue and they complement each other in all manners.

3. Stressful days or typical Mondays

We typically feel stressed when we have immediate or looming deadlines and sometimes you dread sitting down on your desk too. 

This is what we highly recommend, floral scents like lavender, Rose, mogra etc helps you to brave the storm thats coming. We don’t promise a miracle, but imagine this:

You know that you need all your energy and focus on this task, so before you crack your knuckles and get to it,take a deep breath, maybe put on music that you feel suits the work and light a candle on your desk on the side.

Take a deep breath, ground yourself in the present moment and let it rip, let the soothing aroma and the sharp point of the flame be your focus.

To take a break, just watch how the flame dances, rather than jumping to your phone.

4. Resting at the end of the day

Ever had those loooong days where you want to do absolutely nothing, but yet your mind keeps wavering and does not stop? You don’t feel like opening netflix or social media and numb yourself because, you my dear know better!

Let a lit candle, of a lighter woody scent help you calm down. Take a long bath and then dim the lights and let the light scent fill the room as you close your eyes.

We recommend musky scents or even sweet ones like vanilla to help you with this!

If a Candle can help you charge up for the early morning hustle it can similarly even help you stop all the thoughts and relax and just forget everything for a while.

As we conclude, remember if we keep waiting for those perfect moments , they might slip away even before you get a chance to relish them. Also, one must always note that scented candles have a shelf life and the longer you take to use them, their effectiveness reduces.

Well, what are you waiting for? Light one candle today! or buy one from our store!
