Let’s be real—2020 was an absolute car crash, and we will do anything to ensure that 2021 doesn’t go the same way, from consulting the stars to embarking on a sound healing journey. Our latest obsessions geared to bring us all the good vibes this year? Crystal healing and aromatherapy, the centuries old practices revered for encouraging positive energy and well-being.
Lucky for us and our noob-level knowledge in both, Melbourne-based company Myles Gray has gone and combined the two, creating a range of crystal-infused soy candles that pair the power of crystal energy with the therapeutic benefits of aromatherapy scents and oils. Each of their candles (which burn for a mammoth 55+ hours) matches crystals and scents with specific properties to achieve a particular purpose, from inspiring confidence to manifesting prosperity (uh, yes please).
If nothing else, they’ll make your bedroom/office/living room smell so damn good that you won’t be able to help but feel a little brighter. We’ve rounded up the Myles Gray candles that we’ll be putting in every room of our house—good vibes come at us.
The Candle Of Confidence
Vous Pouvez | Carnelian
If 2020 really got you down, infuse a little confidence back into your day with carnelian, a red crystal that will get a fire burning deep in your soul (and apparently, the bedroom). The sweet smelling notes of vanilla, malt, jasmine and cedarwood paired with the carnelian make the ‘Vous Pouvez’ the candle of ‘yes!’. Or should that be ‘oh god yes!’? We’ll take it either way.
The Candle Of Happiness
Bonheur | Garnet
If you’re like us, a good smelling candle can lift your spirits instantly, so when it’s infused with garnet, the crystal of passion, you can bet you’ll be in a better mood in no time. With a fruity floral fragrance of musk, rose and raspberry, the ‘Bonheur’ candle enhances purpose and creativity and inspires you to live life to the fullest. Even if it is with COVID restrictions in place.
The Candle Of Clarity
Esprit Clair | Tigers Eye And Amethyst
With tigers eye to help you kick your 2021 goals and clarify your intentions, and amethyst to promote calmness, balance and inner peace, the ‘Esprit Clair’ candle is here for anyone stuck behind a roadblock to their full potential, or just feeling a little anxious (aren’t we all). Breathe in the scents of coconut milk, vanilla, cedarwood and lavender and focus on the positive—this will be a good year.
The Candle Of Compassion
Reine | Rose Quartz And Black Tourmaline Reine
We could all be a little bit more compassionate these days, which is where the Reine comes in. Channel kindness thanks to rose quartz and strength of spirit with black tourmaline, all bottled up with scents of lychee, guava, vanilla and coconut to recharge mind and soul.
The Candle Of Prosperity
Richesse | Yellow Aventurine
Yellow Aventurine is thought to be one of the luckiest crystals in the world, and honestly, our bank balance could really use a bit of luck right now. Combined with the earthy fragrances of cedarwood, sandalwood and patchouli, the ‘Richesse’ candle has been created to help you see and act upon new opportunities, and hopefully bring a little wealth into your life.
