Chakra Jar Candle Set - Palm WaxLight up and balance your energy with Chakra candles! Our Jar candles are made with pure vegetable EcoPalm Wax™. They are unscented, so those with sensitivities can burn them, and if you do want sent, you can chose your own by adding a drop or two of aromatherapy essential oil.

Whether you’re celebrating the latest seasonal fire festival, pride in diversity, or working on your meditation or yoga practice, these Chakra candles have you covered with all the colors in the rainbow. The Chakra labels can be peeled off if you are using the jar candle for a different tradition.

Each 16 ounce candle has a burn time of approximately 100 hours. These candles are cut above your ordinary jar candles, because they are made of clean burning pure vegetable palm wax with cotton wicks. Discover the Benefits of EcoPalm Wax™.

Note: You don’t have to use a jar candle, if you want a shorter burn time, we also have Eco-Palm Wax Taper Candles in all the Chakra Colors, as well, but they don’t have the name of the associated chakra or the associated Lotus symbol on them like these jar candles do.

Seven Colors for Seven Chakras

There are seven main chakras (energy centers) in the body, and we have a candle to represent each one, plus a rainbow and a white candle.  We will describe the uses of each one in the rest of this article. You can use them to focus on in meditation, and work on opening your chakras over a period of time, or use to focus your mind and spirit on a specific intention, sometimes referred to as a spell or a prayer. Work through all the chakras, or pick a specific one. Each is described, in addition there is a simple White Lotus Chakra Meditation at the end of the article!

Manifestation - Muladhara (Red)

When you are trying to make things happen in the material world, in relation to business or material possessions, the energy to succeed will come from this chakra. The red Muladhara chakra resides at the base of the spine. It’s element is Earth, and it’s energy of connection also activates the sense of smell. Choose from the  1st (Root) Red Muladhara Chakra Candle or  Red Palm Oil Tapers.

Love - Svadhisthana (Orange)

This chakra is about sensuality, emotions, and intuition. It gives you the ability to relate to others in an open and friendly way, moving toward a fulfilling emotional and sexual life.

Choose from the  2nd (Sacral) Orange Svadhishthana Chakra Candle or Orange Palm Oil Tapers.

Choose  the 3rd (Naval) Yellow Manipura Chakra Candle or  Yellow Palm Oil Tapers.

Healing - Anahata (Green)

The heart chakra is the center of compassion and love. When you are hurt in life or love, the first impulse is to close your heart. You must release your pain and love again. The green Anahata Chakra resides in the heart center which represents Air, movement, and activates the sense of touch. Choose from the 4th (Heart) Green Anahata Heart Chakra Candle or  Green Palm Oil Tapers.

Positive Energy - Visuddha (Blue)

The throat chakra is the center of communication. You will be drawn to meet new and wonderful people and embrace experiences that will encourage your spiritual growth. The blue Visuddha chakra resides in the throat center and represents the ether, or space, and activates hearing. Choose from the 5th (Throat) Blue Visuddha Chakra Candle or  Royal Blue Palm Oil Tapers.

Abundance - Ajna (Indigo)

The chakra of the third eye, the center of psychic power and higher intuition. Your true self will attract unlimited resources, power, and compassion to realize your destiny. The Indigo Blue Ajna Chakra sits between the eyebrows and is the abode of the mind.  Choose from the  6th (Brow) Indigo Blue Ajna Chakra Candle or  Indigo Palm Oil Tapers.

Happiness - Shasrara (Violet or Purple)

This chakra is associated with Divine Energy and Self Realization. Through meditation and prayer we surrender to the higher power. We experience whole body happiness. The Sahasrara chakra resides above the head and is the abode of bliss. Choose from the 7th (Crown) Purple Sahasrara Chakra Candle or Violet Palm Oil Tapers.

Kundalini - Sri Yantra (Chakra Rainbow)

The ancient yogis of India considered Sri Yantra to be the most powerful of all known geometric power symbols.  The key is experiencing Sri Yantra as a “star gate” to the Zero Point of Source from which all manifestation ultimately comes.

Kundalini is the simultaneous opening and balance of all the chakra energies and is said to rise like a snake from the root to the crown chakra.

Use the Rainbow Sri Yantra (Kundalini) Chakra Candle for chakra balancing, manifestation, and awakening kundalini.

Enlightenment - White Lotus

The White Lotus symbolizes Bodhi, the state of total mental purity and spiritual perfection. In Buddhism, the eight petals correspond to the Noble Eightfold Path of the Good Law. This is the lotus found at the heart of the Garbhadhatu Mandala, being the womb or embryo of the world. It is characteristic of the esoteric sects, and the lotus of the Buddhas. Choose the  White Lotus (Enlightenment) Chakra Jar Candle or  White Palm Oil Tapers.

White Lotus Chakra Meditation

Picture moving the white lotus through down through the Crown and into all 7 major chakras. When you reach the root chakra, visualize the white lotus growing its stem through still waters waters and into the soil of the earth, where it sends out roots.  Planting the white lotus will ground the highest frequencies of spiritual enlightenment into your being and allow spiritual awareness to blossom.

One Final Note on Chakra Candle Meditation

Those of us on a spiritual path are always tempted to start with meditation on the brow or crown chakra. But yoga teachers, swamis, and gurus will tell you that it is through kundalini, who rests in the root chakra, that you will truly open all your chakras. If you start at the base, and work your way up, you will have a balanced and working knowledge of all your energies.
