Altar Set-Up
Meditation, Intention, and Candle Holders
Step 1: Preparing Your Altar
Before activating your altar, clear any lingering energy and low vibrations. You can do this by:
• Passing herbal smoke over it, using ethically sourced botanicals such as rosemary, cedar, or lavender.
• Placing it in moonlight or near a clear quartz crystal to absorb purifying energy.
• Wiping it down with a cloth infused with essential oils, such as lavender for peace or frankincense for deep connection. As you cleanse, visualize stagnant energy dissolving, leaving behind a space that is vibrant, receptive, and aligned with your purpose.
Step 2: Setting an Intention
Your altar is designed to hold and amplify energy. Take a moment to define its purpose—will this space be dedicated to meditation, manifestation, protection, or guidance? Once your focus is clear, speak or think your intention. If using the altar for a specific goal, personalize your dedication with words that resonate with you.
Step 3: Activating Your Altar with Candlelight
The embedded crystals in your altar already hold energy, but lighting a candle activates and enhances their resonance. To activate your altar:
• Place a tealight candle in the designated holder at the center of your altar.
• Before lighting it, hold the intention in your mind - whether it is for guidance, peace, clarity, or transformation.
• As you light the candle reclaim your intention.
Step 4: Integrating Your Altar into Daily Practice
• Meditate in front of your altar, using the candle’s flame as a focal point for deep reflection.
• Light a candle when setting new intentions, allowing the flame to symbolize transformation and illumination.
• Use the altar as a space for journaling, affirmations, or quiet moments of gratitude.
• Refresh the altar periodically by replacing the tealight, cleansing the space, or shifting elements to align with new goals or seasonal energies.
