How lighting a candle can help you when fear makes you feel unstable
septiembre 4, 2025
There are seasons in life when joy feels distant, when laughter doesn’t come easily, and the body carries the weight of sadness.
Shoulders slouch, eyes lose their spark, and even simple tasks feel heavy. This heaviness is not weakness, it is the body’s way of saying: I need light. Lighting a candle in these moments can be a gentle reminder that even if the flame feels small, it is still enough to guide us back to hope.
Think of times when sadness settled in your body: maybe your chest felt heavy, your face carried silent tears, or your whole being moved slower. The body reflects the state of the soul, dim eyes, low energy, fatigue without explanation. These signs are not permanent; they are invitations to welcome light again.
Lighting a candle is like opening a window in the darkness. The glow reminds us that joy is not about denying sadness, but about remembering that even in the darkest moments, we still carry a spark inside.
Light your Glow candle and sit in front of it. Take three deep breaths and imagine the flame entering your heart. With each inhale, picture your chest filling with light. With each exhale, release a layer of heaviness. Whisper: “My light never goes out, it only waits to shine again.” Let the flame remind your body that it can return to joy.
