I belong to another forum, which is more esoteric in nature... when someone posts that they need help or healing, people respond by lighting candles for one another, (and not in the traditionally-known religious sense).
When I light a candle for someone, I try to hold good positive thoughts for them within me- but if I'm feeling depleted to the point where I don't have the strength to even do that, then just simply lighting a little candle is one way of saying to the universe or cosmos or whatever "I'm just sending them a bit of positive energy".
While it burns, when I look at it I think of them-and I do think it must help. So when someone posts on here with 'big' triggering stuff that I can't respond to, that's what I do. Just light a candle, and try to send whatever positive thoughts I can.
Maybe it would help if they knew this- I don't know. I'm a great believer in positive energy- but that's my own personal faith.
