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.
