Laughter as Spiritual Practice Across Traditions
Laughter occupies a serious place in spiritual traditions that take it seriously. In Zen Buddhism, sudden uncontrolled laughter, what practitioners call kensho laughter, is recognized as one of the markers of genuine awakening. The moment when accumulated conceptual frameworks collapse and the practitioner suddenly sees through them produces a laughter that arises from the body without preamble. Chan and Zen masters have been triggering this for centuries through absurdist koans and unexpected behavior designed to cut through the rational mind’s defenses. The Sufi traditions associated with the Mevlevi order placed rapturous joy at the center of their mystical practice. Rumi’s poetry is saturated with it.
In shamanic traditions across cultures, the trickster archetype, Coyote in many North American traditions, Anansi in West African and diaspora traditions, Loki in Norse cosmology, functions as a sacred force of disruption and laughter. The trickster does not destroy order to be malicious. The trickster dissolves calcified order to allow new energy to move through. Laughter is the trickster’s primary tool because it cuts the ego’s grip on its position faster than any argument can. A Laughter candle in this tradition is not a novelty item. It is a deliberate invocation of the lightening force that every heavy spiritual practice needs in its toolkit.
Crystal Journey Reiki Charging and the Citrus Fragrance Blend
The Crystal Journey Laughter pillar candle is infused with citrus, orange blossom, lemon, and lime, a fragrance profile that targets the nervous system with deliberate precision. Citrus scents are among the most extensively studied in aromatherapy for their documented effects on mood elevation and stress reduction. Orange blossom carries neroli’s association with joy and ease. The lemon and lime add brightness and alertness. The combination is not accidental. Crystal Journey designed these scent blends to support the intention on the label, and Laughter’s fragrance profile does exactly that.
Every Crystal Journey pillar candle is Reiki charged, meaning a Reiki Master or Teacher has worked with each candle in the line as part of production. This adds a vibrational dimension that straight scent or color candle magic does not include. The 7-inch by 1 1/2-inch pillar burns across multiple sessions, making it a sustained companion for a period of practice rather than a single ritual use. It burns free-standing without a holder, unlike votives, and the longer burn time means the intention has time to settle into a space across days or weeks.

How to Use the Laughter Reiki Charged Pillar Candle
Use the Laughter Reiki pillar candle to invite lightness, joy, and healing through these focused practices.
- Set an Intention Around Releasing Rather Than Acquiring
The Laughter candle works best when the intention is about releasing something heavy. Before lighting, name what you want to lighten: a recurring worry, a grief that has calcified, a conflict held too tightly. Let the candle hold the release.
- Light During Reiki Sessions or Healing Work
The Reiki charging makes this candle a natural companion for Reiki sessions. Light it before opening a healing session and let the citrus and orange blossom fragrance shift the room quality. The laughter intention supports lightening energy blocks.
- Use in Daily Morning Practice to Reset Heavy Patterns
Light the candle for ten to fifteen minutes each morning during a period of spiritual or emotional heaviness. The intention is not to force laughter but to lower the threshold at which joy becomes available. Short repeated burns work cumulatively.
The Tarot Fellow Standard
I stock the Laughter pillar candle because every serious ritual practice eventually needs the trickster archetype’s counterweight. The candle collection here runs toward protection, banishing, clearing, and working through difficulty. All of that is real and necessary. But spiritual practice that is only heavy becomes brittle. The Laughter candle is for practitioners who know this, who recognize that joy is not the absence of spiritual work but one of its most refined fruits. Crystal Journey’s Reiki charging process and their specific citrus fragrance blend make this a more intentional tool than any simple yellow or orange candle used for joy working alone. It is well-made, long-burning, and genuinely different in its intention from anything else in the candle lineup.
