Bloodstone Intention Reiki Infused Votive Cup Soy Wax Candle Heart Chakra (Green) – 200 g

Bloodstone - Courage and Strength

Natural Intention Soy Wax Candle - A Wish in Every Candle.

What is Intention Candle?
Inside each special handcrafted bar of Intention Candle, we added your own personal Intention Stone. This stone has been cleansed and empowered by a Reiki Master/Teacher to enhance and focus the energies that are naturally part of your Intention Stone.

The essential oil that has been added to your candle has a specific purpose. It is to envelope the candle with the same intentions that is has been energized with.
Both the candle and stone with the same intentions have been energized with Reiki Infused Energy and you can carry the stone with you.

Bloodstone is the stone of courage. It helps you break down barriers, and calms fear and anger. This stone allows you to be in the moment, strengthening your will to go on. This is a very powerful stone to use when dealing with intense changes in your life.

"Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear, not absence of fear." - Mark Twain

4th Chakra – Heart Chakra

Love and Compassion for Yourself and Others

Unbalanced 4th Chakra signs are related to putting everyone else before yourself. Often feeling inferior.

We use only essential oil blends in this candle. No Fragrance Oil.

Speaking of essential oils, when it comes to candle scents, be aware of the distinct difference between a “fragrance oil” vs. an “essential oil.” Essential oils are extracted directly from parts of a plant and have therapeutic properties. Fragrance oils may be made of synthetic chemicals mixed with some form of natural oils or may be completely synthetic. Again, this is something we would strongly encourage you to question the candle maker about.

In this 2001 study, the EPA reported that synthetic fragrances were shown to cause “possible mutagenic and genotoxic effects.” Synthetic fragrances have also been shown to contain hormone disruptors which are linked to abnormal cell reproduction and may result in tumor growth. These chemically-derived fragrances can also trigger allergy-like symptoms and respiratory distress for thousands of people with fragrance sensitivities. According to this study from the University of West Georgia, over 30% of the U.S. population reported adverse effects (such as headaches, sneezing, runny nose, etc.) from exposure to synthetically scented products.

True aromatherapy products will use only pure botanical therapeutic grade essential oils. Candles with scents such as “pumpkin spice,” “sugar cookie,” and “ocean waves” will all be created using synthetic fragrances, as there are no botanical or essential oils of those scents in nature.

We use only natural plant-based colorants in this candle.

Although there are natural, organic and plant derived dyes used in soaps and cosmetics, these are all water-soluble and candle dyes need to be oil-soluble. Candle dyes are usually aniline dyes (chemical) with very scary MSDS (Manufacturers Safety Data Sheet). Therefore, we choose not to use them in our candles as we choose health over aesthetics. We know that everything that is put into a candle is eventually dissipated into the air and inhaled by you, your pets, and your loved ones. If a brightly colored candle claims to have its color derived from an “all-natural” or “eco-friendly” dye, we encourage you to ask the manufacturer for more information about the origins and contents of that dye.

THE DANGERS OF PARAFFIN CANDLE

Paraffin wax was discovered in the mid-1800s, and since then, it’s been a cornerstone of the candle making industry. Most candles that you find today are made of paraffin wax, but unfortunately, it’s not the safest compound to be inhaling as it burns. Paraffin is derived from petroleum and made up of straight-chain hydrocarbons, which combust to produce a dark soot that can get into linens, stain walls, and lead to respiratory problems.

Candles made of paraffin also contain hidden dangers in the form of additives, or chemicals added to wax in order to make the resulting candles look, smell, and burn better. You can find additives derived from petroleum called microcrystallines, which help improve the texture of wax, as well as polyethylenes produced from natural gas that add a glossy finish. Some of the most common compounds found in paraffin candles include:

• Vybar: This polymer raises the melting point of paraffin and allows the wax to blend evenly with scents and dyes.
• Mineral oil: Candlemakers can achieve an attractive mottled effect using mineral oils.
• Polysorbate 80: This compound helps to blend oils and scents into paraffin wax.
• UV light inhibitor: Adding this inhibitor prevents premature fading of colored candles due to sunlight.

Daily use of paraffin candles over the years may contribute to the development of health problems in adults. In one study, researchers at the South Carolina State University found that long-term exposure to certain types of candles can lead to poor air quality and pose a health hazard to a home’s inhabitants. Paraffin candles released undesired chemicals such as alkanes, alkenes, and toluene, all of which are toxic to humans. Inhaling these compounds over a long period can increase the risk of developing chronic conditions such as common allergies, asthma, and even certain types of cancer.

WHY CHOOSE SOY WAX?

Soy candles are made from soybeans, not only making them a safe and natural alternative to petroleum-based paraffin, but also renewable and biodegradable. By buying soy wax products, not only are you helping to support soybean farmers, but you’re also ensuring that the newest addition to your home decor burns clean and won’t detract from your air quality.

When vegetable-based candles such as soy candles were tested in the South Carolina State University study, they were not found to release any of the pollutants given off by paraffin. They also don’t produce any unsightly black soot, which is not only a pain to clean but is a health hazard as well. With prolonged use, soy candles may create a fine white residue that’s nontoxic and easy to clean. Soy wax cleans off of just about any surface with a simple solution of warm, soapy water.

While soy candles tend to be slightly more expensive than their paraffin alternatives, you also get more for your money. Soy wax burns at a cooler temperature, meaning that your candle will burn for more hours than a paraffin candle of the same size. The wax is also less likely to scald if touched, which is an important consideration for households with curious little ones. 

SOY CANDLES ARE VEGAN

If you abstain from using animal products, then you might find candle shopping to be a frustrating endeavor. So many types of candles use animal products! Beeswax comes from the hives of beeves, tallow comes from the fat of animals, and some wax even comes from whales or dolphins. Soy candles are 100% vegan and do not require any animal products in their production or use.
