What are Affirmations?

An affirmation, defined by the dictionary, means a positive assertion.

Affirmations use the “Law of Attraction” to manifest themselves into existence. “The Law of Attraction” is supported by theories of quantum physics that this law has an energetic and vibrational element. Cortney’s Candles is using the power of crystals, herbs, candles, and affirmations to manifest your dreams and desires. 

Affirmations can be used daily or weekly, or monthly; As much or as little as you want! There is never a wrong time to do an affirmation. The thought behind an affirmation is to manifest your future goal. This future goal could be anything from your personal life to your career. A simple daily affirmation of “I am happy” will train your brain to think that you are happy and will eventually be happy and satisfied. 

People have used candles for years in many different ways, including spells in witchcraft. Yes, I know you may think; you don’t want to mess around with witchcraft, but that is far from my goal. The witchcraft spells gave me an idea. 

I thought a candle could hold “power,” which can amp up your affirmation by lighting it. In turn, that is how I came up with affirmation candles. So the process is simple. 

You choose an affirmation or have it randomized by me; I will hand-make that candle for you with the affirmation attached. You can add crystals, herbs, or anything you’d like to add more “power” to your candle. Herbs and crystals have lots of healing and “magical” properties. Learn more at their pages here, Candle Wax, Crystals, and Herbs.

The process of using the affirmation once you receive it is simple. 

1. Remove the lid of the candle and hold the candle in hand for at least ten seconds; this gives the candle your energy. 
2. Next, light the candle. As you are lighting the candle, speak the affirmation on the candle label into existence as often as you feel necessary.
3. Let the candle burn for however long you would like. When you use it, blow out the candle and replace the lid. 

How Long Does It Take for the Affirmation to Take Effect after Lighting the Candle?

There is no specific time frame of how long it will take for the affirmation to “work.” You can usually tell by your initial reaction to speaking the affirmation and lighting the candle if it is coming soon or not. 

Pay attention to how you initially feel; if you feel good, energetic, and confident, then more than likely, the affirmation will be set very soon. 

Rome wasn’t built in a night. If you feel no different, that is okay too. Next time you light your candle, focus on your affirmation and honestly believe it when speaking it into existence.

If you feel inadequate energy after lighting the candle, no need to worry; that is usually just the anxiety of attempting this new thing. If the candle makes you uncomfortable, blow it out and replace the lid. Try again when you feel ready.
