Candle therapy can be used to unite the powers of mind, body, and spirit. Lilian Verner-Bonds shares in her book, The Complete Book of Color Healing, lighting a colored candle releases energy into the atmosphere.  The color vibration is absorbed into the auric field and transmitted into the physical body.  It is an interesting fact that the colors of our seven major chakras are also the rainbow colors.

The following exercise called, Super Rainbow Candle Healing, is found in the author’s book:

1.  Place a candle for each of the seven chakra colors in a semi-circle in front of you starting from left to right (red, orange, yellow, green, light blue, indigo, & purple).  The candles can be placed on the floor or on a table.

2.   Sit quietly for a few moments in order to prepare yourself to receive. Light the candles, starting with red (Root Chakra) and ending with purple (Crown Chakra).

3.  Beginning with the central green candle (Heart Chakra), gaze upon each flame for one minute at a time. Then move to the red candle at the left followed by the purple candle on the right.  Continue by going to the orange then to the indigo. Complete the process by going to the yellow and  finishing with the light blue.  This  will take seven minutes. (See illustration for gazing order).

4.  While the rainbow candles remain burning, embrace all the colors.  Accept the guidance from your higher-self  as to which colors need revisiting.  Continue for another ten minutes, finishing with the green candle (Heart Chakra) to balance your system.

5.  Extinguish the candles in order starting with the red ending with purple (It is recommended to use candle snuffer or home-made tin foil cone).  In candle healing it is suggested not to use your breath to blow out healing candles.

6.  Sit quietly for three minutes with your eyes closed, to complete healing.
