Crystal Journey Reiki Charged Pillars: Intention Embedded in Wax
Crystal Journey Candles has produced intention-focused pillar candles since the 1990s, with the Reiki Charged Pillar line representing their most deliberately energetically prepared format. Each candle in the series is made with a specific intention baked into its production process, including Reiki energy work during manufacture, and labeled with corresponding affirmations and instructions. The Dreams candle in this series targets sleep, lucid dreaming, and the subconscious mind, working through the third-eye chakra correspondence that practitioners associate with inner vision and dream access.
The pillar format, at 7.3 inches tall and 1.8 inches wide, is a standard ritual pillar size that burns for a meaningful duration, suitable for evening meditation sessions or pre-sleep ritual without burning down too quickly. Pillar candles of this dimension typically burn for 40 to 80 hours depending on draft conditions and wick trim frequency. The Dreams formulation uses a color and fragrance blend chosen to support calming and introspective states, with typical Dream-intention candles favoring indigo, violet, or deep blue colorations.
Dream-Work Ritual Context and Practical Use
Dream work as a spiritual practice appears across multiple traditions. In hoodoo, dreams are considered a channel for ancestor communication and prophetic messages, with specific herbs and preparations used to open and clarify dream states. In Wiccan and New Age practice, lucid dreaming and astral travel are linked to third-eye development and are often supported with meditation, journaling, and ritual preparation before sleep. Burning a focused intention candle during the pre-sleep preparation period is a common element in these practices, functioning as a transitional ritual that signals to the mind that it is moving into a different state of awareness.
For practitioners exploring dream incubation, the practice of setting an intentional question or focus before sleep in hopes of receiving guidance through dreaming, the Dreams candle provides a ritual anchor point. Light it during a ten to twenty minute meditation before bed, hold your question or intention in mind, then extinguish safely before sleeping. Do not leave pillar candles burning unattended. For broader Crystal Journey reiki-charged pillar options, the full line covers a range of intentions beyond dream work.
How to Use Dreams Reiki Charged Pillar Candle
Three steps for using the Dreams pillar candle in a pre-sleep ritual practice for dream clarity and recall.
- Set Up a Pre-Sleep Ritual Space
Place the Dreams pillar on a stable heatproof surface near your bed. Dim other lights, light the candle, and spend five to ten minutes in relaxed breathing. Then set your specific dream intention for the night ahead.
- Hold Your Dream Intention
With the candle lit and the room calm, close your eyes and hold a specific dream focus: a question you want answered, or simply an invitation for clear and remembered dreaming. Keep the intention stated as a present-tense request.
- Extinguish and Record Upon Waking
Safely extinguish the candle before sleep using a snuffer. Never sleep with a burning candle. Keep a journal beside the bed to record dreams immediately upon waking. Even brief images or emotional fragments are worth noting.
The Tarot Fellow Standard
I carry the Crystal Journey Reiki Charged line because they are consistently well-made intention candles with a proper pillar format that burns evenly and lasts through a real ritual working period. The Dreams candle in particular fills a specific need for practitioners doing consistent dream-work practice who want a dedicated ritual anchor rather than a plain candle. For those who journal as part of their practice, browse my journals collection for a natural pairing with this candle.
