Reiki and the Astral Journey Tradition
Astral travel, sometimes called out-of-body experience or spirit journeying, appears in shamanic, Theosophical, and Western occult literature across centuries. Practitioners describe the process as a deliberate shift of consciousness beyond the physical body. What Reiki adds is a distinct energetic preparation: the idea that a Reiki-attuned field clears and steadies the practitioner’s subtle body before the journey begins, reducing anxiety and sharpening intention.
Crystal Journey Candles crafts this pillar in New England using food-grade refined wax and a cotton-paper wick designed for clean, even combustion. The essential oil blend, frankincense, rosemary, cypress, citronella, and myrrh, maps directly onto traditional astral-travel correspondences. Frankincense and myrrh have long been used in ceremonial settings to thin the veil between planes, while rosemary and cypress carry associations with clarity of mind and passage through threshold states.
How Practitioners Use This Candle
Many practitioners light this candle 10 to 15 minutes before lying down for a projection session, allowing the aromatic blend to shift the room’s atmosphere before they close their eyes. Others use it as an anchor point during active meditation, focusing on the flame as a visualization target before beginning a body-relaxation induction. In past-life regression work, the candle is sometimes paired with an amethyst crystal placed at the third-eye position. Burning time runs approximately 25 to 30 hours, giving multiple sessions from a single pillar.
Keep a journal beside you during sessions. Fragments of imagery surface most clearly in the first minutes after returning to waking consciousness. The candle’s scent also functions as a reliable olfactory anchor: relighting it in future sessions can help the mind move more quickly into the associated state through conditioned response.

How to Use the Astral Journey Reiki Pillar Candle
Use this pillar candle as an energetic anchor before and during astral projection or deep meditative journeying sessions.
- Prepare Your Space
Clear the area of clutter and dim harsh lighting. Place the candle in a secure holder near your practice spot. Light it 10 to 15 minutes before your session so the frankincense, rosemary, and myrrh blend can shift the room.
- Set Your Intention
Hold the candle and state your intention aloud, such as: I intend to move through theta consciousness with clarity and return safely. Specificity helps the Reiki-trained energetic field the candle carries align with your actual goal.
- Begin Your Practice
Lie down and fix your gaze softly on the candle flame for two to three minutes, then close your eyes and begin your preferred relaxation induction. Snuff the candle safely when done and log any imagery immediately in a journal.
The Tarot Fellow Standard
I stock this candle because most astral-travel products either lean too heavily into vague mystical language or reduce the practice to a single aromatherapy angle. Crystal Journey’s Astral Journey pillar does something more useful: it ties a specific Reiki charge to a well-chosen essential oil blend that practitioners across multiple traditions already recognize as threshold-state support. The food-grade wax and cotton-paper wick mean clean combustion with no heavy paraffin smoke competing with the aromatics. It’s a no-frills working candle that earns its place on a serious practice altar. Explore my chakra, meditation, and Reiki collection for complementary tools.
