Candle Burning Rituals + Journal Prompts
Candles are more than light. They are portals, prayers, and energy tools. Each flame carries intention, and each scent and herb blend is chosen to align with a specific frequency.
At The Soft Ritual, our candles are infused with herbs, crystals, and sacred oils, making them not just beautiful, but intentional allies for your rituals.
Here’s how to work with them, plus journal prompts to deepen your practice:
How to Create a Candle Ritual
-
Choose Your Candle with Intention 🕯️
Each Soft Ritual candle carries its own energy:
- Softness: energetic reset, grounded radiance
- Devotion: romantic + self-love, emotional openness
- Abundance: prosperity, magnetism, receptivity
- Protection: energetic clearing, psychic shielding
- Inner Muse: creativity, sensuality, confidence
Begin by asking yourself: “What energy do I want to call in or embody today?” Let that guide your choice.
-
Prepare Your Space 🌸
Place your candle on a stable surface or altar. Clear the area of clutter. You might want to add crystals, flowers, or a journal nearby.
-
Light the Flame & Breathe 🔥
As you light your Soft Ritual candle, speak your intention out loud or silently in your heart. Allow the flame’s glow and the candle’s aroma to shift the energy of your space.
-
Journal in the Candlelight 📖
While the candle burns, take a few minutes to write. Let the flame be your mirror. Use the journal prompts below to connect deeper with the energy of your chosen candle.
Journal Prompts by Candle:
Softness:
- Where in my life do I need to slow down and soften?
- How can I honor rest as a form of strength?
Devotion:
- What does self-love look like for me right now?
- How do I want love (from myself and others) to feel?
Abundance:
- What am I grateful for that already shows my abundance?
- Where can I shift from scarcity to trust in my life?
Protection:
- What boundaries do I need to set or reinforce?
- Where do I feel most safe, and how can I cultivate more of that energy?
Inner Muse:
- What creative expression is calling to me?
- Where am I holding back my voice, and how can I free it?
-
Close the Ritual
When you’re finished, thank the candle for holding space. Extinguish it mindfully (never just walk away from it burning). Carry your journal insights forward as a reminder of the energy you’re calling in.
Closing Reflection
The Soft Ritual candles are more than deliciously fragrant décor. They’re energy companions, tools to help you embody softness, devotion, abundance, protection, and creative flow.
When paired with journaling, they don’t just light your space, they illuminate your spirit.
