The Candle Trick That Finally Helped Me Calm Down (And It Might Help You Too)

 The Candle Trick That Finally Helped Me Calm Down (And It Might Help You Too)

If you’ve ever felt like your thoughts were running around your head like wild animals, you’re not alone. Anxiety is loud, fast, and exhausting. But what if something simple — like a tiny flame — could help quiet all that noise? That idea became the spark behind my new book, Calm Spells: Magickal Solutions for Anxiety Relief. And today, I want to share the story behind it in a down-to-earth. 

Anxiety doesn’t ask permission. It shows up whenever it wants — during homework, at bedtime, while you’re trying to relax, or even when you’re doing nothing at all. It can feel like your brain is too full.

One night, when my mind felt like a spinning tornado, I lit a small lavender candle. I didn’t expect anything magical to happen. I just needed something to focus on that was not my thoughts.

As the candle flickered, my breath slowed down. The warm glow made my room feel softer. It was such a tiny thing… but it helped. It helped a lot.

That moment made me wonder: What else could help calm a busy mind?

Could simple tools — like candles, crystals, herbs, colors, and breathing — really make a difference?

So I started experimenting. Lavender light spells. Weighted charm bags. Tiny rituals to slow overthinking. Even quick tricks you can do in less than a minute. And guess what? They worked. Every single one brought a little more peace.

That’s when I realized something important: calming down doesn’t have to be complicated. It doesn’t require expensive tools or special training. It just requires intention…and a little magick.

I gathered everything I learned and turned it into Calm Spells: Magickal Solutions for Anxiety Relief. This book is like a small toolbox you can carry everywhere. If your mind gets loud, you’ll know exactly what to do.

Inside the book, you’ll find spells that help your thoughts slow down, rituals to release tension, and nighttime candle practices that help your body relax before sleep. It’s written simply so anyone can use it — no experience needed.

There’s a charm bag you can make for grounding. A lavender aura spell that feels like a gentle hug. A circle ritual to let go of heavy feelings. And my personal favorite: the Nightfall Serenity Candle Spell. It’s perfect before bedtime.

These aren’t big, dramatic rituals. They’re quiet, easy moments you can do in a few minutes. They’re designed for real life — for people who get anxious, overwhelmed, stressed, or stuck in their heads.

If you’ve been looking for something gentle, something magical, something simple that actually helps… this book was written for you. You don’t have to fight anxiety alone. You can soothe it. Shape it. And finally breathe again.

Calm Spells: Magickal Solutions for Anxiety Relief is coming soon, and I honestly believe it can change someone’s day — maybe even someone’s life. Maybe… even yours.
