what is reiki?
Reiki is a gentle, healing energy that promotes balance and harmony in the mind, body & spirit. Rooted in ancient Japanese traditions, the word “Reiki” means “universal life energy” — a natural force that flows through the body and around us.
This energy (Prana in Indian philosophies and Chi in Chinese philosophies) is central to practices like yoga, acupuncture, and Tai Chi where the flow of energy is said to impact our health, well-being, and spiritual balance.
Reiki energy is believed to soothe stress, enhance well-being, and support inner peace by aligning your energy with the universe’s. Bringing reiki-infused items into your space can help create a serene environment and transform your space into a sanctuary of calm and connection.
Reiki energy is subtle. Even if you don’t physically feel the energy, you may notice a shift in your mood, mental clarity, or overall sense of calm when you use Reiki-infused items that restore balance without overwhelming your senses.
how do I use Reiki-infused candles?
Whether you’re seeking clarity, emotional healing, or relaxation Reiki candles can support you on your healing journey:
Create a Sacred Space: Light your candle (or use a candle warmer) in a quiet environment. Allow the soft glow to set the mood, bringing a sense of calm to your space.
Set Your Intention: Close your eyes, breathe deeply, and set a positive intention or affirmation. Whether it’s for healing, self-love, abundance, or clarity, focus on your desired outcome and allow the Reiki energy infused within the candle to enhance your intentions.
During Meditation or Reflection: Use the candle as an anchor during meditation (e.g. candle gazing) or mindfulness practices. Let the flame and scents ground you into a deeper state of relaxation and connection.
Healing Rituals: Light the candle during yoga, journaling, or any self-care ritual. Visualize the energy flowing through you, clearing away negative energy and inviting peace and healing.
Nighttime Wind-Down: Incorporate the candle into an evening routine to unwind and ease into a restful sleep. Its calming energy helps to clear the mind and create a peaceful atmosphere.

Relaxation & stress relief

what is the process of infusing Reiki into candles?
As a certified Usui Reiki Master, I infuse the candles at each stage of the candle-making process. While preparing and wicking the candle jars, I infuse the jars with loving energy.
I then charge the candle wax with specific Reiki symbols, such as emotional balance and healing, while I’m stirring the essential oils and wax.
It’s like setting a loving intention, but with Reiki, the energy is being channeled into the physical objects. After they’ve cured, I infuse every item with Reiki before packaging and shipping them out.
Having a Reiki-infused item in your space invites a grounding + calming energy that helps to create a comforting environment and supports your well-being.
