Hey all,
Been doing my spiritual thing pretty consistently for about two years now. In my personal practice I enjoy and prefer working with candles as it’s what feels most true to me.
Recently I moved to an apartment and have had no issues lighting candles like my tea lights or 7 day candles. I’ve even lit multiple incense at once and never had an issue.
Last night however I finally got my new order of small candles in and lit one, which I blew out right before I was headed to bed- about 2 minutes later my apartments alarm went off and set the whole entire buildings alarm off. My window was opened and always is when working with flames, and I had a small fan running on the floor. The only thing different I did with these candles was blow them out instead of snuffing (i know I shouldn’t have- I was tired and not thinking) and I also used a match.
Anyways, now I’m embarrassed and very anxious to use candles within my apartment now and I’m extremely sad because if I can’t use candles I don’t know how connected to my practice I’ll actually feel.
Anyone got any tips, advice, or wisdom to help?
Thank you in advance!!
