Its meaning will indicate the current quality of the archetype of The Sun; a simple meditation/affirmation ritual for revealing the power of the aromatic candle that may help you to appreciate the life’s pleasures and the realized desires. Affirmations (Latin affirmatio – to declare, declaration) – positive statements which we repeat to program ourselves, to consistently change ourselves and our thinking, thus consequently transforming the surrounding environment. Our subconscious is very susceptible to often repeated delicate and figurative phrases, therefore, affirmations are like positive programs which we install and run in our subconscious. Repeatedly uttered affirmations help to overcome obstacles and achieve goals that seemed impossible.
