CANDLES

Natural and Spiritual Candles – Complete Guide for Meditation, Yoga and Well-Being

The magic of the flame

For millennia, candles have been more than just a source of light: they have symbolized hope, clarity, and spirituality. In Tibetan Buddhism, lighting a candle is equivalent to offering the light of wisdom to dispel the shadow of ignorance.
At Univers Tibet , we have chosen to showcase a collection of carefully designed natural candles , without toxic components, to accompany you in your meditation rituals, your yoga sessions or your moments of relaxation.

Our candles are made from soy wax or rapeseed wax , two renewable and environmentally friendly vegetable waxes. Some are infused with essential oils to create a beneficial olfactory ambiance, others are specially designed to balance your 7 chakras .

Why choose natural candles?

Most industrial candles are made from paraffin, a petroleum derivative. When burned, they can release soot particles and irritating volatile compounds. By choosing a natural candle, you are opting for:

• Clean and healthy combustion : no black smoke, no toxic residue.

• Plant-based ingredients such as soy or rapeseed wax, biodegradable and safe for health.

• Pure fragrances made from essential oils, which also offer aromatherapeutic benefits.

• An ecological gesture , because these waxes come from renewable resources and are often produced locally.

Lighting a candle then becomes a true ritual of well-being, without compromising your health or the planet.

Our different candles and their uses

Soy Wax Yoga Candles

Soy wax candles are ideal for your yoga sessions. Their slow, even burn creates a soft, steady glow that encourages concentration and inner reflection.
Some are scented with essential oils of lavender, cedarwood or lemongrass, perfect for:

• Relaxing before a Yin yoga session

• Boost energy for dynamic flow

• Purify the air and space before meditation

7 chakra candles

Our 7 Chakra Votive Candles and 7 Chakra Rapeseed Wax Candles are specially designed to balance your energy centers.
Each color corresponds to a chakra:

By lighting them, you can practice a visualization meditation : focus on the color of the flame and imagine your corresponding chakra illuminating and harmonizing.

Candles with essential oils

Our essential oil scented candles don't just diffuse a pleasant fragrance: they provide aromatherapeutic benefits.

The symbolism of candles in Tibetan Buddhism

In Buddhism, candles or butter lamps are used as offerings of light . They symbolize:

• Clarity of mind and wisdom

• Spiritual awakening , which dispels the darkness of ignorance

• Compassion towards all living beings

Lighting a candle on your personal altar is an act of gratitude and connection with universal energy. It can also be used to set an intention or wish.

Ritual ideas with your candles

1. Morning ritual

Light a candle as soon as you wake up to set an intention for the day.
Take a deep breath, close your eyes and say:

“Today I welcome light, peace and clarity into my life.”

2. Flame Guided Meditation

Stare into the candle flame for a few minutes, let your thoughts calm down, and focus on your breathing. This technique is called Trataka and helps improve concentration and calm the mind.

3. Purification ritual

Light a candle scented with purifying essential oils (like sage or rosemary) and let its smoke and energy cleanse your space before an important moment or after a stressful day.

Emotional and energetic benefits

Natural candles can transform your living spaces:

• Create a soothing cocoon for relaxation or reading

• Reduce anxiety by establishing a reassuring ritual

• Strengthen your spiritual practices by focusing energy

• Purify and harmonize the atmosphere with essential oils

Decorating tips and inspiration for a meditation corner

Creating a dedicated space in your home can make your practices even more powerful:

• Place a 7 chakra candle in the center of your altar

• Add Buddha or Green Tara statues for inspiration

• Incorporate incense, singing bowls or natural stones to amplify the vibrations

• Choose soft colors and natural materials to enhance serenity

Instructions for use and safety

• Trim the wick before each use (5 mm) to avoid excessive smoke

• Let the candle burn long enough for the entire surface to be liquid: this prevents the formation of “tunnels”

• Never leave a burning candle unattended

• Use a snuffer instead of blowing to preserve the purity of the wax

Maintenance and respect for your candles

Store your candles away from direct light and heat. If a layer of dust forms, gently wipe it off with a dry cloth before lighting. You can also recycle the containers once the wax has burned down.
