New Worlds of Body, Mind & Spirit Since 1901
| Carve two lines down the entire length of a gray candle. They should run in a loop from wick to wick. In the center on the left side carve a minus (–) symbol, and assign the right side a plus (+) symbol. Fill in the space by carving symbols and words to express your objectively perceived faults on the negative side and your objectively perceived assets on the positive side. Try to use up every bit of space on the surface of the candle. When done, anoint with patchouli oil for grounding and balancing these polarities within you. Burn your balancing candle over the course of seven days for immediate relief or gradually over time for a more consistent effect. As the wax melts and dissipates, envision any imbalances being weighted or evened out. Let the flame serve as a reminder that perfection is contained only in an instant and can no more be elongated than any other momentary force. We all have faults. The very nature of perfection is stamped out by the progressive force of life. We are each bound to the tides of change. To truly navigate life, we must know the innovation of self-disciplined balance.
