Moments of calm. How to create stillness & wellbeing

Moments of calm. How to create stillness & wellbeing

Set the Mood Mindfully

Before lighting your candle, create a calming environment:

  • Dim the lights

  • Play soft music or natural sounds

  • Take a few deep breaths

Lighting a Canopy Candle becomes a signal to pause and focus on the present moment, enhancing mindfulness.

Scents that Seasonally Support Your Mood

Our candles are story-led, seasonal and small-batch, designed to evoke calm and relaxation helping:

  • Reduce stress and support restful sleep, or

  • Uplift and energise, or

  • Ground and emotionally centre

 Practice Deep Breathing

While your candle burns, try slow, mindful breathing:

  • Inhale the fragrance fully

  • Exhale slowly, releasing tension

  • Repeat for 3–5 minutes

This simple practice combines aromatherapy with mindfulness, boosting both emotional and mental wellbeing.

 Use Candles During Daily Rituals

Integrate Canopy Candles into your routines for enhanced wellbeing:

  • Morning meditation or yoga: Begin the day grounded and centred

  • Evening bath or reading: Create moments of calm and indulgence

  • Work breaks: Reduce stress and refocus with a gentle aroma

Our clean-burning, Paraffin-free candles make these practices safe for your home environment.

Prioritise Candle Care for Safety & Longevity

A mindful ritual includes caring for your candle:

  • Trim the wick to 3-5mm before each burn

  • Allow a full wax melt pool to prevent tunnelling

  • Burn away from drafts for even fragrance release

Proper care ensures your hand-poured, small-batch candle provides the longest-lasting, cleanest burn.
