Try a Candle Meditation.
Gazing into a candle flame is a simple, effective way of quieting thoughts and focusing your mind.
Sit quietly at a table, and place a candle in a holder in front of you. Light it.
Look steadily at the candle, and take five deep breaths, one after the other. While you are doing so, look straight at the flame – note its colour, the shape, how it moves and flickers. Then gently close your eyes.
With your eyes closed, keep the image of the candle flame in your mind’s eye, still breathing in and out, and so releasing tension.
Colour therapists say you should choose colours to enhance your mood:
Pink Candle: if you’re seeking love
Orange Candle: if you want to get in the mood for a celebration
Yellow Candle: to encourage conversation
Green Candle: to restore harmony
Blue Candle: if you’re tense and need to calm down
