A Simple Candle Lighting Ritual for Re-igniting Your Sacred Flame

Here is a simple candle-lighting mini-ritual practice and prayer: at some point this week or this month or this year, I invite you light a candle and offer this small practice-prayer.

Today,
I begin again.
With this small flame,
I welcome warmth
back into my bones,
clarity back into my mind,
and courage
back into my heart.
May what is kind and compassionate
in me grow stronger,
and what is weary and disillusioned
in me find rest.
