ritual 08: 9 red candle ‘cure’

red = luck, visibility and courage

fire = life force

candles = new beginnings

‘9’ = associated with manifestation / completion / accomplishing goals

put them all together, and here’s a little ritual (taught to me by my first shui mentor, Ellen!) to get a new year, a new project or even a new YOU started off on a bright note:

you’ll need 9 red candles. the candles can be big or small, scented or plain, and whatever color of red fancies you. i typically use tea light candles – inexpensive and easy.

you’ll want to do this cure EVERY DAY for 9 consecutive days, preferably in the Fame / Reputation gua of your home or a room. (bagua link in my bio!)

light each candle individually while holding the feeling of accomplishing a specific intention: what would it mean to you? how would it feel? what would change in your life?

once you’re swirling with that potential and possibility, let the flame meet wax and then you can blow the candles out in the order you lit them. if you skip a day, start over.

think of this cure as igniting the reward, recognition and respect energies in your life – and just like that, all heart eyes are you, babe!

(if you travel, take a pack of candles with you! they don’t need to be the same candles that you have at home. it is the ritual that matters, not the materials.) xo
