What is Reiki?
Reiki is a gentle, healing energy that promotes balance and harmony in the mind, body & spirit. Rooted in ancient Japanese traditions, the word “Reiki” means “universal life energy” — a natural force that flows through the body and around us.
This energy (Prana in Indian philosophies and Chi in Chinese philosophies) is central to practices like yoga, acupuncture, and Tai Chi where the flow of energy is said to impact our health, well-being, and spiritual balance.
Reiki energy is believed to soothe stress, enhance well-being, and support inner peace by aligning your energy with the universe’s. Bringing reiki-infused items into your space can help create a serene environment and transform your space into a sanctuary of calm and connection.
Reiki energy is subtle, but many people find its effects powerful. Even if you don’t physically feel the energy, you may notice a shift in your mood, mental clarity, or overall sense of calm when you use Reiki-infused products that restore balance without overwhelming your senses.
How to use Reiki Candles
Whether you’re seeking clarity, emotional healing, or relaxation reiki candles can support you on your healing journey. Here are some suggestions how to use the candles and set intentions:
Create a Sacred Space: Light your candle (or use a candle warmer) in a quiet environment, free from distractions. Allow the soft glow to set the mood, bringing a sense of calm and tranquility to your space.
Set Your Intention: Take a moment to close your eyes, breathe deeply, and set a positive intention or affirmation. Whether it’s for healing, self-love, abundance, or clarity, focus on your desired outcome and allow the Reiki energy infused within the candle to support your intentions.
During Meditation or Reflection: Use the candle as an anchor during meditation (e.g. candle gazing) or mindfulness practices. Let the flame and scents guide you into a deeper state of relaxation and connection with your inner self.
Healing Rituals: Light the candle during yoga, journaling, or any self-care ritual. Visualize the Reiki energy flowing through you, clearing away negative energy and inviting peace, balance, and healing.
Nighttime Wind-Down: Incorporate the candle into your evening routine to relax, unwind, and ease into a restful sleep. Its calming energy helps to clear the mind and create a peaceful atmosphere.

What is your process of infusing Reiki into candles?
As a certified Reiki Master in Usui Reiki, I infuse the candles at each stage of the process. While placing the wicks into the candle jars, I intentionally infuse the candles with healing & loving energy.
I then charge the candle wax with specific reiki symbols while I’m mixing and stirring (drawing them into the melted wax and essential oils). After they’ve cured, I will infuse every item with reiki before packaging and shipping them.
Having a reiki-infused item in your space allows you to bring that intentional healing energy into your space to create a calm environment that supports your well-being.
