A candle ritual for Strength
Light an orange candle and place a piece of tiger’s eye nearby. Sit quietly and focus on the flame, reflecting on times you have shown quiet courage or compassion. Imagine the steady warmth of the candle strengthening your resolve and confidence. Let the tiger’s eye remind you of your own inner strength. When you feel ready, thank yourself for your resilience. Never leave a burning candle unattended.
