Smart Ways to Use Candles

Using candles effectively can enhance ambiance, improve feng shui, and promote relaxation. Here are some ideas based on different situations:

1. For Creating Atmosphere

• Dinner time: Place a small candle in the center of the table for a romantic vibe. Unscented candles are best so they don’t interfere with the aroma of the food.

• Bath time: Set candles along the edge of the bathtub. Turning off the lights creates a calming, spa-like mood.

• Reading or nighttime relaxation: Use candles instead of harsh lighting to help your mind wind down.

2. For Feng Shui Purposes

• Enhancing the fire element: Place red or orange candles in the southern area of your space to boost reputation and self-expression.

• Attracting love: Pink candles in the southwest area of your home are said to enhance romantic energy. Lighting them as a couple is especially effective.

• Cleansing and protection: Use white candles near the entrance at night for a short time to symbolically burn away negative energy.

3. For Scent and Mood (Aroma Candles)

• Stress relief: Lavender and chamomile scents are perfect before bed to help you sleep deeply.

• Boosting focus: Rosemary or peppermint scents work well in the morning or before working.

• Romantic vibes: Rose-scented candles create a sweet, gentle atmosphere—great for enhancing love energy.

4. Tips for Safe Use

• Keep flammable items away from the flame

• Avoid placing candles near windows (wind can be dangerous)

• Always extinguish candles before sleeping

• Use a heat-resistant dish or tray to catch dripping wax
