Decorative Candles Can Increase Your Creativity

Picture  decorative candles in your mind. A beautiful candle composed of anything that you like – it could be lilac and white with the fresh smell of lavender, or blue and green with the calming smell of the ocean. It could be orange, blue and green, with the invigorating smell of a brand new Spring morning. What does that candle make you think of? Spirituality, love, friendship, memories, happiness, warmth? Can you picture yourself sitting on a soft, warm beach or walking through the meadows?






All of these beautiful images and thoughts your mind conjures up are a not-so-subtle hint of the sheer power of your own creativity. Within milliseconds of thinking of that candle, your mind has painted you a picture that you can see as if looking at it with your very own eyes.

 

Decorative candles are the perfect way to guide you into becoming more creative

Candles are already very much related to creativity – we all have seen pictures of writers writing by candlelight in the middle of the night with a quill pen and a log fire. We may not have quill pens or log fires, but we sure do have a heap of creativity and the finest candles!


But why are decorative candles related to creativity so much? Perhaps it's the calming effect a flickering flame has, or the various images a particular scent conjures up. Maybe it's the soft, subtle light that they produce or the low glow of heat they let off. Everybody is different in these things, but the fact is that decorative candles bring pleasure and positivity to any room you're in.

Candles are associated with many things

Life, death, happiness, sadness, celebration, spirituality, and many other important occasions. All of these thoughts, feelings and emotions can be turned into something beautiful, whether written, painted, drawn, captured, sculpted, knitted – it's all an act of creating something.



That one candle is enough to inspire you to paint the picture of perfection that your mind sees. It's like having a photographic memory, but without having seen a photograph. Your mind will remember that picture and recall it every time you see or think of that decorative candle until you bring that picture to life. It's a well-known fact that we should create what we want to see; well, this is your mind giving you a very big hint.
