I’m a big believer in the healing powers of meditation. Last night, I got into it a bit right around midnight, as it happened. I tend to use candles and incense set up alongside a few crystals of whatever varieties feel applicable at the time when I aim for a meditative state, and last night was no exception.
I heartily recommend the combination, as incense can at times produce a pretty substantial amount of smoke, while candlelight gives it an otherworldly flavor. Staring at the unfurling plumes of vapor can have a decidedly trance-inducing effect, and can be especially helpful if you have trouble quieting your mind when you attempt to meditate.
So for your viewing pleasure, here’s a minute-long excerpt from my midnight meditation…
Do you see shapes in the smoke…? Relax… Gaze into it… Smoke carries messages that you can hear with your eyes…
Very nice post.
Thank you for reminding me about the use of candles to facilitate deeper meditation. I have used them before and they were quite effective.
Thanks for the comment! And you’re welcome for the reminder — I believe that if more people meditated as a regular thing, the world might be a calmer and more tolerant place, so I’m happy to do my part to encourage the practice!
You are quite welcome and you are doing your part my friend 🙂
That’s a good thing!
Thanks again! The “G” in Lady G apparently stands for Generous. Or Gracious. Or maybe we can say it works with either one! 🙏😉💜
Oh thank you so much! How sweet of you to say 🌹
