Fear has many shapes. Sometimes it is obvious, a racing heartbeat before speaking in public. Other times, it hides deeper: insecurity that makes us doubt every decision, or the quiet voice that says, “you are not enough.” The body reflects this inner instability: shaky legs, tension in the stomach, a restless mind. In those moments, grounding becomes essential. Lighting a candle can remind us that we, too, have roots, that even when fear shakes us, we are held.
Think of a time when fear made you feel unsteady, like the ground beneath your feet was fragile. Perhaps your legs trembled, or your breath stayed high in your chest. The body reacts because it craves safety. Fear is not only emotional, it lives in the muscles, in the stomach, in the bones.
By lighting a candle in these moments, we invite ourselves to return to the present, to feel anchored in the here and now. Roots remind us that true confidence is not about being fearless, but about remembering we are supported even in fear.
Light your Roots candle and place your feet firmly on the ground. Close your eyes and imagine roots growing from your soles into the earth, strong and unshakable. As you breathe deeply, say: “I am safe. I am supported. I am rooted in myself.” Feel the weight of your body as a gift of stability.
What part of your body feels fear today? How can you remind it that it is supported?
