Light It Like You Mean It: How to Set Your Intention

You’ve got your intention candle in hand—now it’s time to unlock its full power. This isn’t just about lighting wax; it’s about igniting your spirit, focusing your energy, and manifesting what you really want. Here’s how to do it right, every time.

1. Anchor Your Energy with an Affirmation (more tips below)

Before you light your candle, take a moment to center yourself. Hold the candle, close your eyes, and say (aloud or in your mind) a clear, bold affirmation that matches your intention.

 Example:
“I attract love and joy.”
“Clarity and focus guide my every step.”
Make it yours. Feel it. Own it.

2. Cleanse Your Space & Clear Your Mind

Your candle works best in a space free of stagnant energy. Light a smudge stick or sprinkle a little saltwater around your area—whatever your vibe. Take deep breaths, let go of distractions, and create a calm, sacred spot where your intention can shine.

3. Set the Scene & Get Comfortable

Find your sacred spot—a cozy corner, your altar, or a bedside table. Sit comfortably, free of interruptions. This is your moment. Your ritual. Your power.

4. Light Your Candle (The Right Way)

Use a match or lighter to ignite the wooden wick. Feel the flame spark to life. Watch it flicker. Let the scent and glow pull you into focus. Your intention is now set in motion.

5. Let It Burn — But Know When to Stop

Your candle should burn about one hour per inch of its diameter for an even, safe melt pool. Don’t burn it unattended or all day long—give your candle time to breathe between sessions.

6. Snuff, Don’t Blow

When it’s time to end your ritual, snuff the flame gently. Blowing can scatter energy and smoke, while snuffing preserves your intention’s power and the clean scent.

7. Remove the Crystal (Yes, That Crystal)

Each candle comes with a charged crystal resting on top—once the candle cools, remove it carefully. Let it dry before placing it back. This keeps your candle burning evenly and your crystal charged and ready for your next ritual.

8. Relight & Repeat

Your intention candle is here for your journey—light it whenever you need to realign, reset, or recharge your energy. The magic builds with every flame.


Remember: This candle is your quiet power, your ritual, your spark. Light it like you mean it—and watch your intention unfold.
