3 Reasons why Burning a Candle is Good for You


I am a huge fan of aromatherapy. Candles, diffusers, incense sticks, room sprays, everything under the sun I have used! Your sense of scent is the only sense that has a direct connection to your brain!

My favorite aromatherapy has to be the classic burning of the candles. Something about candles just soothes my soul. Today I am sharing fun reasons why burning candles is good for you .


Ambiance

The flickering light of a candle can create a warm and welcoming cozy atmosphere. Watching the flame dance around helps soothe your mind. An exercise I like to practice is taking a few minutes to watch the flame and take deep breaths as I unwind from a stressful day. The healing properties of candles can instantly calm you and help your brain get into a productive and peaceful mindset.

Memory


Since our sense of scent is heavily connected to our brain it is also tied to our memories. Certain scents can instantly transform you into a memory. Choosing a candle scent that reminds you of a joyous moment in your life can help your mind experience that exact feeling you felt once before.

Self-expression

Candles are a great conversation starter. When a person lifts up and sniffs a candle in your home they are instantly introduced to who you are and what you like. Not only are candles a perfect and must-have decor item to have in your home but they also serve as a piece of your personality. Express yourself!
