Candles play a vital role in self-care routines, rituals and meditation, offering a sense of tranquility and focus. Their use helps to elevate personal frequencies, which refers to a heightened state of energy and awareness. This, my lovely Spa Goddesses, is science-based magic.

When you concentrate on the flame, it helps to quiet the mind, reduce stress, and center your thoughts, leading to a state of calm and heightened mental clarity. This focused attention can elevate your personal frequency by aligning your mental and emotional states with a more harmonious and peaceful energy.
