When you breeze by candles in a store, what usually comes to your mind? Decorating? Yes, it’s true, candles really create a wonderful accent to any type of decor. However, candles are also used in life events to symbolize certain feelings and emotions. For example, do you realize that candles have been used for years to symbolize unity, new beginnings, hope and remembrance?
Candles are also a helpful way to bring on desired feelings, for example, healing and romance. It’s my hope that by reading this article, you’ll appreciate how candles represent much more to all of us than just a cool accent in our homes.

Birthday Candles Symbolize New Beginnings & Entertainment

Have you ever been to a birthday party where there were no candles on the cake? If so, I’m sure you felt like something was missing. Blowing candles out on a birthday cake is tradition! What makes for better entertainment than watching an adorable little child making a wish and blowing out birthday his/her candles? Their eyes are filled with wonder and at the moment they blown out their candles, they are sure that all of their wishes and dreams will soon come true!

Wedding Candles Symbolize Unity

Candles have been used for many years in wedding ceremonies to powerfully illustrate the lifelong unity and commitment that is being created between a bride and groom. Two candles are lit representing the bride and the groom as separate individuals. The candles are then blown out to symbolize the end of the “only thinking of yourself” frame of mind. One larger candle is then lit to represent the one unified life the couple has now created. What a beautiful way to symbolize the love between two people.

Candles are used to HEAL:

Aromatherapy candles have been a trend in the candle industry for several years now. Why? Aromatherapy candles are made with essential oils, which are used to help people feel and create more positive emotion in their lives. For example, a very popular essential oil is Lavender. Breathing in the scent of lavender helps people de-stress and promotes a feeling of peace and calm. Who couldn’t use a greater sense of calm in today’s hectic world? So many people today are burning aromatherapy candles because it’s a simple way and enjoyable way to benefit from the healing power of essential oils.

Candle Vigils Symbolize Unity, Hope & Remembrance

What do you think of when you see people participating in a candle vigil on a dark night? No matter what the purpose of the vigil is, I see people standing together united, holding on to their burning candles, with the flames representing their deep feelings of hope for their cause. Even when I light a candle in my home at night, the flame gives me a feeling of hope for whatever hardships I may be encountering in my life.

A memory that will always stand out in my mind was a few nights after September 11th. Our Nation was experiencing extreme sadness, anger, terror and grief, but at night, we lit candles at 7:00 and placed them outside to symbolize that we were remembering and praying for those we had lost and for their families. I have never felt such a powerful feeling of national unity in my life.

Candles are used to symbolize ROMANCE:

When it comes to creating a romantic atmosphere at night, candles are a must. Just think about it, when you imagine yourself having a romantic dinner with your special someone, candles are always on the table. Candles really help to set the mood for love, whether it’s on the table, relaxing in the living room with your spouse or in the bedroom. There is something about being in a room only lit by candlelight that automatically creates a feeling of romance. Beautiful warm glows soften peoples faces…everyone looks better with candlelight. Candles cast beautiful warm glows on when you see a romantic dinner for candle lit dinners, create a beautiful atmosphere for romance.

As you can see, candles can symbolize different things to different people. No matter why you decide to burn them, candles add such a beautiful, peaceful glow to our world, so keep them burning!

Have you ever noticed how the warm scent of a candle wafting through the air can be uplifting, energizing, or make you cozy? Or maybe there’s a certain body spray, soap, or perfume that just keeps you going through the day. Did you wonder why maybe that Key Lime candle smelled yummy but also energized you or even motivated you to clean? Or why that Apple Pie scent really helped you appreciate fall? Wonder no longer, study after study has shown that scents do affect your mood! Take a look below of some scents that can really enhance your moods:

1. Citrus Scent - Energy

Need a pick-me-up? Grab a cup of java and light a citrus candle, citrus scents enhance energy and boost mood; so look for candles with lemon, lime, grapefruit, verbena, or orange scents.

2. Lavender Scent - Relaxation

When it’s time to wind down try burning a lavender candle. In studies, lavender has been found to correlate with slower heart rate, lower blood pressure, and lower arterial pressure. It has also been found to decrease muscle tension. Other scents that have been found to have relaxing effects are bergamot and sandalwood.

3. Citrus, Minty, and Pine Scents - Uplifting, Clean

If you want to create a cheerful, clean environment in your home, choose candles scented with citrus, mint, or pine. Often these scents can be not only uplifting and motivating, but just give that “clean” feel. When you or your guests walk in, these scents will be a fresh breeze to welcome anyone.

4. Jasmine, Gardenia, Sandalwood, and Rose Scents - Romantic

There’s romance in the air if you’re burning scents such as these. Floral and woody scents give that wistful, romantic feel to a room.

5. Season Enhancing Scents

Delve into the season with your favorite candles scents! Autumn’s a great time for burning pumpkin spice candles, as well as other baked good candle scents, as is winter. To create that cozy winter environment, choose cinnamon, apple, berry, and pine candles. Fresh candle scents such as cucumber melon are great for spring, as well as fresh cut grass candles which carry into summer. Nothing says summer like a nice citrus, like a lemonade candle scent drifting through the air.

If you love a certain candle, soap, or body spray - whatever the scent may be - don’t do what I too often do, which is save it until that scent runs out! Light it and enjoy, it’s sure to affect you in a positive way!
