Lighting a candle is a sacred ritual in many different traditions and religions; it is a way of remembering a way of healing and a way of bringing hope. A solitary candle brings light to the darkness and serves as a reminder of the power of the human spirit. The flickering flame ignites something deep inside us that connects us to each other. As Erasmus noted if we give light, and share light we can watch the darkness disappear. You are invited to light a candle to remember a loved one, a past relationship, a cherished pet, or whatever other significant loss or losses that you may currently be experiencing. Begin by taking a moment to slow down, focus on your intention and decide the reason you are lighting your candle. You will be guided step by step through the candle lighting process.
