Candle Burning Tips and Safety

Extend the life of your beautiful candles ..heres some safety guidelines to keep your home safe and tips to keep your candles looking gorgeous.

Do not attempt to handle or remove the crystals from the candle when the wax is hot or whilst lit.  As the wax liquifies on the first burn the crystals will gently glide beneath the wax.  Our crystals are carefully placed away from the wick so that they do not effect the burn.  Your candle will burn beautifully all the way to the edge. 

Never leave a lit candle unattended ,  keep away from children, pets curtains and loose fabrics and out of draughts. Avoid being close to fans, air conditioners , heat pumps.  

Do not burn in children's bedrooms.

Always burn on a heat resistant surface ie a coaster.

Do not touch or move a candle while its burning or while the wax is liquified. 

Do not touch or move a candle until its completely cooled.

Don't burn when young children are around.

Never leave a burning candle unattended.

Do not go to sleep whilst a candle it burning.

Don't burn a candle all the way down.  For safety allow 1inch of wax in the container.

1). The first burn is the most important.  Allow the wax to melt to the edges of the vessel every time this avoids tunnelling.   If the candle isn't burnt for long enough it will create a "memory ring" and each subsequent burn it will continue to tunnel down for the rest of its life,  wasting your candles maximum burn time. 

Let your candle cool and reset for about two hours before beginning another burn.

2)  Trim the wick before every burn - before lighting, trim the wick to 1/4 inch using scissors or a wick trimmer for a clean safe burn & increased candle lifespan.

Wicks that are left untrimmed can become to long and can cause uneven burning, it will likely 'mushroom' causing smoking & flaring .  

Your candle will burn up to  25% longer if you trim it after each burn.

2). Allow the wax to melt to the edges of the vessel every time this avoids tunnelling. 

3) Do not burn your candle for longer than 3 hours at a time.

Enjoy your blissful moments in candle light!

Candle Ritual Introduction

Your candle has been thoughtfully crafted to honor self-care, inviting you into a meaningful ritual of connecting with your inner self and strengthening your intuition. Each LightSeed candle combines specific crystals and fragrances that are intentionally chosen to align with the candle’s purpose, creating an ideal space for manifesting and supporting your intentions with ease.

Once lit, the candle’s fragrant energies are released, helping to lift your vibration and bring you into a clearer, more peaceful state of mind. Relax and soften your gaze as you watch the flame, allowing yourself to ease into calmness. You might choose to set intentions or simply savor a moment of presence and quiet time.

For those setting intentions or manifesting, find a quiet time when you won’t be interrupted. If you have young children, consider waking up 30 minutes earlier than anyone else to fill your own cup for the day!

Each candle includes invocations or affirmations aligned with its specific purpose. Feel free to use these or create your own intentions. Remember to speak them out loud – this is where the magic truly begins. Speak it, believe it, feel it, and visualize it.

Why Affirmations & Invocations?

Affirmations are powerful statements that plant positive seeds for growth, helping to overcome negative thoughts and empower self-belief and confidence. They cultivate certainty and self-empowerment, much like top athletes who approach competition with unwavering belief in their success.

Invocations, on the other hand, invite specific energies or qualities to support your intention. For example, one of LightSeed’s protection invocations is: “By the light of this flame, I cast an aura of divine protection.” Invocations set the tone of your ritual, calling forward the energy and light you are seeking. Your voice carries the vibration that calls forth this energy.

Opening Space Candle Ritual

Place one hand on your heart and take a deep, slow breath, allowing your body to soften with each inhale.

Light your candle, focusing on the warmth of the flame and letting it symbolize your inner light. As the candle burns, visualize a radiant white light above you, flowing gently down from the cosmos. With each breath, see this light entering through the crown of your head, filling every cell in your body with warmth and clarity as it moves toward your heart space.

Next, draw your attention to the energy rising from the earth. With each inhale, invite this grounding energy to flow through the soles of your feet, feeling its strength and stability as it moves upward, joining with the light within your heart.

As these energies merge in your heart space, feel a profound sense of unity, clarity, and peace expanding within you. Aligned in body, mind, and spirit, you are open to guidance, connected to your inner wisdom, and surrounded by love and protection. This is your sacred space, filled with light and ready for the intentions you are about to set.

Thank the space, the light within, and the intentions ready to unfold. And so it is.

Setting Your Intentions

With the candle lit and energies of light and grounding centered in your heart, you are ready to set your intentions. This is a time to plant seeds for your desires and goals, allowing them to take root in the energy you’ve created.

Clarity - Be Clear with Your Intention

Take a moment to consider what you want to bring into your life. Whether it’s a feeling, an accomplishment, or a transformation, be specific. Focus on a single intention or a set of intentions that deeply resonate with you.

Speak Your Intention Aloud 

Write It Down 

Writing your intention anchors it in the physical world. Use a journal or piece of paper to write down your intention with as much detail as possible. Imagine how it would feel to see this intention manifest. 

Visualize Your Intention Manifested
Close your eyes and picture your intention coming to life. Imagine it with all your senses – see it, feel it, hear it. Allow yourself to fully experience what it would be like to have this intention fulfilled, and let this feeling grow within you.

Trust and Release
When you feel ready, take a deep breath and release any attachment to the outcome. Trust that the energy you’ve set in motion will support the manifestation of your intention. Feel gratitude for this moment, knowing that you’ve planted a seed.

Reflect and Return
Over time, return to your intention and reflect on any signs, shifts, or progress. Let the flame of your candle serve as a reminder of this intention, reigniting your connection whenever needed.
