No Matter What Your Meditation, There’s A Colored Candle For It!
Using Colored Candles for Meditation
In today’s hectic, fast-paced world, more and more people are turning to meditation as a means of relieving stress and anxiety. Defined as a state of calm achieved by channeling energy on a single, restful focus, meditation has been linked to a wide array of benefits, including deeper relaxation, an enhanced immune system, improved circulation and blood pressure, and alleviation of pain from headaches and other medical conditions. Whether you’re suffering from a chronic illness or just feeling overwhelmed by a sink full of dirty dishes, meditation can help to detract your focus from the source of the anxiety.
There are many different methods of meditation used today, including yoga, breathing techniques, meditative music, and the chanting of mantras. Whatever type of meditation practice you choose, candles can serve as a highly effective and simple accessory for relaxation. Candles are a cost-effective way to add instant ambiance to your meditation space. Try turning off all artificial lighting and using only the illumination from the candles. The soft, flickering flame will help you to achieve a centered, tranquil state of mind, and can even be used as the focal point during meditation. By using scented candles, you can pair your meditation techniques with the widely acknowledged benefits of aromatherapy.

New Jersey Remembers With Candles
City vigil remembers ‘09 victims of violence
By GEORGE MAST • Courier-Post Staff • December 31, 2009
Sister Helen Cole holds a vigil each year for Camden's homicide victims. On Wednesday, Dec. 30,. 2009, she lit a candle for Jamar Cruz, a 9-year-old victim.
CAMDEN
- Shortly after 9 a.m. Wednesday, Sister Helen Cole paused in prayer after lighting a red candle in the front of a Camden church.
Cole prayed for peace and for the family of 9-year-old Jamarr Cruz, who died March 31 after he was brutally beaten inside his Ablett Village home.
“We honor the brief life of Jamarr,” Cole said softly. “We ask that you give us hope and peace in the future. Help us to make choices that will help Camden to be a safer place to live.”
An hour later, Cole lit another candle at St. Joan of Arc Church — this candle for 24-year-old Tyson Maddox, who was gunned down April 24 in an alley off of MacArthur Drive.
In all, Cole will light 34 candles to remember the city’s 33 homicide victims so far this year and a 68-year-old man killed in a police-involved shooting. That death remains under investigation.

There are simple, resourceful and easy ways to pack up all the holiday decorations, recycle unwanted gift wrap and bows, recycle holiday string lights, reuse delicious holiday candles and much more using everyday items you can repurpose and reuse.
How to save or recycle holiday candles:
Holiday candles can look out of place after Christmas, especially if they are emblazoned with scenes of “Rudolph” and Christmas trees. To save your candles for next year, use a ripped nylon hosiery to protect them and pack them in a box with tissue paper.
If you enjoy the scent of a holiday candle, but not the look, you can also chip them up with a hammer and fill a tea strainer ball with the fragrant candle wax. Leave the strainer balls in your dresser drawers or hang it in the closet as an instant room fragrance freshener.

Machias Women Running Successful Candle Company
by WABI-TV5 News Desk · Dec 28th 2009 · See more Local News
Two women in Machias are proof that if you have a good idea, you should
act on it.
“Last November, Kelley Scoville and I were deciding what to do to make a little extra money for Christmas and our area sells a lot of wreaths, and we know that was over saturated and we wanted to be creative. And she said, I know how to make candles.”
From there, the Olde Tavern Candle Company was created. But they say it’s no easy task.
“First off, we have bulk candle wax we melt down and we specially color the wax to match the scent .”
Andrea Guerra and Kelley Scoville started the company and a few others have joined the team since.
Guerra says she’s in charge of the design and Scoville is on the technical side.
“So I researched different candle waxes. I researched for probably a month or two waxes, containers, scents, oils and color. I did a lot of work that way and it just all came together.”

Stephanie Anderson lights candles every year to honor and remember her family, but this year she had an extra one to light.
Anderson and her friend Gwen Boyd began lighting candles at the Langley Cemetery five years ago when the tradition was first introduced. The pair typically light between 20 and 25 candles each. First they lovingly remember their loved ones by placing a luminary at each of their graves and then together they canvas the cemetery, lighting up other graves.
