Simple Candle Emotional Release 🕯

I shared this spell on Instagram and I wanted to share it here, too. This is something I’ve been doing for several months now. It’s been pretty successful in helping me reframe my thoughts and release the energy that comes from those thoughts.

Let me tell you about one of my self-care witchcraft practices, and all you need is a candle. I’m going to tell you how I do an emotional release.

This spell goes hand-in-hand with a therapy technique I was taught by my therapist. It involves reframing my negative or irrational thoughts, pointing out the fallacies, and seeing where my anxiety is running the show.

It’s funny to me because the picture of my little candle here is 100% reflective of the way my life feels right now. A small flame burning in the midst of random things happening around it. And you know what? That’s okay.

You will need…

  • a candle
  • a lighter or matches
  1. Hold the candle over your chest or wherever you physically feel your emotions.
  2. Inhale and speak or think your reframed thoughts. These are the thoughts that counteract the irrational or negative thoughts coming from anxiety.
  3. Exhale and push the emotional energy from the irrational thoughts into the candle.
  4. Continue the above process until you feel that enough energy has been transferred to the candle and your thoughts have been reframed.
  5. Burn the candle and let the emotional energy from the anxiety dissipate with it.

See - easy peasy!


Witchcraft and self-care go hand-in-hand for me, and this practice also goes hand-in-hand with my mental health care. I hope that, if you use this, you benefit from it as much as I have.

Megan- The mystic and powerful practitioner! Thank you :blush: for your wisdom and support! I will be posting a picture when I am finished so I’ll come back to this post. Ow yeah I love your purple hair! I was thinking of getting my ends done!

I never really understood energy work but finally after 3years of practicing, something so simple is revealed!
I see it really takes energy to transform yourself! I can appreciate breath work. I am a yogi, to practitioner!
Anyway I am loving this post! Tonight I will be doing breath work !


I felt a real bit of anger today towards a client who is an alcoholic, and he is my client and his order online and they did not put the alcohol inside of the bag a substitute, so they never put it in there! Long story short he was a angry and made me angry :rage:
I expelled my anger into the candle :candle:
I inhaled twice giving a pulse then expelled three pulses out !
Also my candle didn’t go out yet so I had some more!
I did some letting go of fear with breath work letting go of fears that I had during my night terror last night! It was so scary :frowning_with_open_mouth: I couldn’t sleep :zzz: so know I am afraid to sleep! I released my fear today because it’s just probably some bottled up fear and I could also let go of many other things with breath work!
Just letting you all know Lampadious is a epithet of Hecate and I just think of her lamps of lite over me ! Lampadious Lampadious
Lampadious
She is my lamp :diya_lamp: in the darkness

I wish I knew how to ask my dear night demon to help you, he takes away my stresses and fears, but I don’t know how🤷 Still learning. I’m glad you were able to do the candle spell , and it was good for you. I hope to try it too.
Sending big hugs my lovely. :sparkling_heart::hugs::kissing_heart:
