The Benefits of Candle Meditation
JUNIPERMIST Sage Candle for Meditation
If diffusers aren’t your thing, a more subtle way to infuse your home in scent serenity is with a candle.
The JUNIPERMIST Sage Candle has been specifically created for meditative purposes and will help to remove negativity from your space and replace it with peace, joy, and calmness.
If you’re wondering how it’s because this candle contains sacred white sage leaves. Sage has historically been used during smudging rituals by some indigenous people of America, and it has scientifically proven to clear up to 94 percent of airborne bacteria. As well as this, sage releases negative ions when burned, which is linked to putting people in a better mood.
Offering a more convenient way to sage your home, this sacred white sage smudge candle will help you smudge without strong odors or smoke and when properly trimmed, will burn for a maximum of 30 hours.
It contains natural soy wax (making it suitable for vegans) no chemicals, artificial fragrance oils or petroleum. Instead, this all-natural candle contains ingredients that have been both sustainably and ethically sourced, including the sage leaves. It contains real sage leaves that have been blessed and gathered from sacred lands.
When used to scent your space, this candle will help to create a positive and uplifting atmosphere for you to meditate and unwind in.
Pros
- A convenient way to uplift your mood and create a serene environment
- The tin design allows you to easily store the candle when it’s not in use, and the lid keeps it protected from dust and other air particles
- The sage leaves included in this candle have been scientifically proven to improve moods and uplift people
Cons
- The musky scent of white sage won’t appeal to everyone

The Benefits of Mindfulness and Meditation
Whether yoga is your middle name or you’re simply trying to incorporate more wellbeing products around your home, mindfulness meditation will lower stress levels and help you to feel more in tune with the present moment. Here are some scientifically proven benefits to meditation and mindfulness practices:
You’ll Sleep Better
If you struggle to get those eight hours, adding elements of mindfulness into your daily environment will help you to sleep better.
In fact, research has shown that older adults with sleep disorders can enjoy the significant improvement to sleep quality by incorporating a portion of each day to some form of meditation or mindfulness activity. This can be as little as uplifting your mood with a candle or creating your very own meditation spot in your home.
You’ll Lower Stress Levels
Like we mentioned earlier, everyday life is hectic! Therefore, learning how to minimize the effects of stress on our bodies and minds is extremely important.
Meditation can help to reduce the levels of cortisol in our body, which is the ‘stress’ hormone.
You’ll Improve Focus
Meditative and mindfulness products can be used in a variety of ways, such as the Zen Sealife Garden Sandbox we reviewed which is ideal for the workday.
Research has found that daily, brief meditation can lead to an enhanced ability to focus on daily tasks and improve executive functioning and memory. This will lower stress levels and fatigue, allowing you to be more productive throughout the day.
Meditation Gifts – Frequently Asked Questions
How do you make a good Meditation Space?
An easy mistake to make when creating a meditation space is to feel as though you need to spend hundreds of dollars on the aesthetics of it. In reality, a good meditation space is any area of your home that you feel most comfortable in, so you’ll likely find that a few meditation products and decor is all you need to set the mood.
If possible, try to choose an area of your home that you won’t be easily distracted or disturbed in.
What should I put in my meditation room?
You’ll get the most immersive meditative experience within a meditation room that you feel comfortable in, so it’s important that you make it your own. If you’re just starting out, the scent is one of the easiest ways to elevate a space.
We recommend a candle or diffuser that has been specifically created for mindfulness purposes, as well as a comfy spot that you can sit and meditate in.
Some people like to repurpose furniture they already have in their home, while some people like to purchase a meditative pillow, like the Crystal Cove Cushion we recommended above.
