Candle Lighting is a simple yet powerful ritual to create a calm and focused environment before a training session. This practice draws on the historical symbolism of candles as tools for clarity, guidance, and reflection.

To begin, select a candle and place it in a safe, visible spot in your training space. Light the candle slowly and with intention. As the flame flickers, take a moment to pause, gather your thoughts, and focus on the present moment. Use this time to clear your mind and set a positive intention for the session ahead. For example, you might set an intention to foster meaningful connections, maintain clarity, or encourage intuitive insights during the session.

As the candle burns, its gentle light serves as a reminder to stay grounded and present throughout the session. This ritual not only helps trainers enter a calm and intuitive state but also creates an atmosphere that supports insight, concentration, and connection with participants.

This resource draws inspiration from Joseph Campbell’s work on Rituals and the Power of Myth, emphasizing the symbolic and grounding power of rituals in fostering clarity and focus.
