Which Chakra It Corresponds To

A brown candle is usually associated with the root chakra — Muladhara. This chakra is located at the base of the spine and is responsible for grounding, stability, and a sense of security.

How to Work with a Brown Candle

A brown candle is best lit on a Thursday.

These candles are considered money candles because they hold a fusion of three energies: red, green, and yellow.

Candles made from unrefined wax are traditionally lit for the household spirit. Place a small dish of milk and a slice of fresh bread on a clean napkin next to the candle. Call the household spirit three times, offer the treat, and speak your request for help.

Brown candles are also lit when a pet falls ill.

Meditation

Find a quiet, comfortable place where you won’t be disturbed. Light the brown candle and sit in front of it. Take a few deep breaths to relax and let go of distractions.

Visualize the warm, calming light of the brown candle spreading through your body.

Imagine that you are rooting yourself into the earth like a tree, with deep roots reaching down into the soil and branches stretching up toward the sky.

Focus on the brown color and its associations with stability, reliability, and warmth. Let these feelings fill you and imagine that with every breath, you become more and more grounded.

Looking at the flame, allow your mind to release any worries and concerns. Know that in this moment you are safe, protected, and surrounded by the calming energy of the earth.

Take a few more deep breaths, feeling your connection to the earth grow stronger each time. When you are ready, take one last deep breath and blow out the candle.

Roll up the paper and keep it somewhere safe. Each time you complete one of the steps, eat a piece of chocolate as a reward.

When you reach your main goal, light the brown candle and extinguish it with a piece of chocolate. This shows your gratitude to the chocolate for its influence.

3. Ritual for Banishing Negative Energy

If you feel that there is negative energy in your home or workplace, use a brown candle.

This color has a grounding effect that will help you feel more focused and balanced. Brown is also connected to the element of Earth, which allows you to feel a closer bond with nature.
