• Calming candlelight. It’s a candle’s flame that helps to soothe our soul – reducing stress and increasing self-awareness.
• Soothing scents. A scented candle offers additional benefits – reaching yet another one of our senses, smell. …
• Choosing the right scented candle for you. While all candles offer a sense of calm, a scented candle that complements your mood can make a world of difference.

Shut off the lights and light a candle. Sit back allow the candlelight to take in the stress of the day. The dim light that comes from a candle is captured by your sight and sent straight to your brain for processing. Because of our associations with candlelight, the body begins to relax. Some of the perks of feeling more relaxed include more energy, better sleep, better health, less pain and a more pleasant personality.

Scented candles hit on another sense…our sense of smell. We all associate with scedts that make us feel good or remind us a memory that makes us happy. By choosing a scent we connect with in a positive way further enhances the soothing effects of candles.
