Candles

Candles can provide numerous benefits for neurodiverse individuals by creating a calming and sensory-rich environment. The gentle flicker of candlelight and the soothing ambiance can promote relaxation and reduce anxiety, making them an effective tool for creating a peaceful space. Scented candles, in particular, can engage the sense of smell, which has been shown to influence mood and emotions. Specific fragrances can evoke positive feelings, enhance focus, or bring about a sense of comfort. Additionally, the act of lighting a candle can serve as a mindfulness practice, helping to ground individuals in the present moment. Overall, incorporating candles into daily routines can support emotional well-being and sensory regulation for neurodiverse individuals.
