think of the purest white and brightest white light permeating the candle and your space \u2013 think of each family member as you are lighting the candles.\u00a0 NOTE: The purpose of the 4 candles is Not indicative of the elements per se, but primarily to infuse your space with white pure light \u2013 light that is healing and as pure as possible \u2013 basically \u2013 we wanted your family pics to be encircled by white light (physically and spiritually)!<\/p>\n<p>5.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Light the Blue Candles \u2013 There are 2 blue candles for this purpose:\u00a0 Blue is also a healing color.\u00a0 Having a blue candle at the top left and the top right, both, enables you, the spell worker to visually be able to see it covering both sides of the family (both sides of the situation, both sides of the story, of the argument, etc. \u2013 this is a psychological method that bypasses our conscious minds and permeates our subconscious where magick is derived.)\u00a0 As you light both

energy through your Crown Chakra from the Universe and see the white light infusing with the healing energy from the ground, extending through your hands and into the pictures of your family members (focusing on this energy truly encompassing each family member.)\u00a0 See this white, blue and grounding light forming a rope-like bond between you and each member of the family.\u00a0 See each
