Bring in the Light of Candles

By Simon Harris

Candles are used around the world and for many different reasons. Candles bring a special light to many people. They were first used to lighten up the darkness. When fragrances came along they added them to candle to add a special effect to them. Aromatherapy has become a big business today and it has made the candle a part of another world altogether. With scented candles you can simply illuminate a room, set two hearts it a flame for a romantic setting or sooth your worries and allow serenity to engulf you.

On Christmas in my church everyone is given a candle. The Priest lights the first candle and each person lights the next ones candle until the whole room is filled with candle light. In My Opinion this is the light of Christ and he said to not hide your light under a bushel. Light to world up with candles They illuminate rooms and they exude calm and quietness like no other, except maybe the first snowfall of winter. I bet you can even get a candle in that scent.

Candles come in all shapes, sizes and fragrances. You can set the mood of your room whether it be one person or a whole room of people. They can inspire romantic moments or lull your to sleep. You can purchase candles in jars, as floating candles, votives, tealights, or gels.

Gel candles are used in a special candle holder. The top part is a small slightly concave dish and another tealight candle is placed under that dish. When the tealight candle is lit it melts the gel candle in the top and releases the scent that you have chosen according to your mood you wish to give.

Floating Candles are similar to tealight candles in size and they float on top of water or liquid. These too give off the fragrance you chose to enhance your room.

Votives sit in their own little cup. They burn away leaving no candle afterwords. They last about 4 hours.

Jar candles last along time and can fill any room with a sweet or spicy aroma.

Lavender is used to lull one to sleep, while Apple Cider or Pumpkin Spice scents are used to bring back memories or to make a place, such as a new apartment feel like home. Let the ribbons of scents encircle you head and fill your room. Breath in deep the wandering scent and let your mind flow as you enjoy the aroma. Close your eyes and just imagine you being in that special time and place.

Bring in the light of candles. Let the light and fragrance lift you away to far away places in your imagination.
