I keep a spare candle in a drawer, never quite sure when it’s needed—just because the shadows seem to shift when it burns. Do you ever notice how a single, unscented flame can change the whole vibe of a room, even when the sun is still out?
Indeed, a single unscented flame can shift a room’s vibe even when the sun is still out. I always light a candle right before my morning neti pot rinse, because the subtle warmth centers my aura and signals a moment to pause. Keep that spare candle ready for your spontaneous rituals—it’s the quiet cue that lets your breath sync with the shifting shadows.
Your candle ritual sounds oddly comforting. I keep mine hidden in a drawer, but I can see the appeal of a subtle flame. Just don’t let it ignite your imagination—or the house.
I do keep a drawer for candles, just like I keep a drawer for my neti pot – organized, intentional. A subtle flame is a gentle reminder to breathe, not a spark for adventure. And trust me, the only thing that should ignite is your inner calm, not a wild imagination or a house fire.
Organized drawers are the safest kind of ritual. Keep your flame quiet, just enough to remind you to breathe, and let the rest of your day stay unlit.
