Are candles good feng shui? YES!
Candles represent the fire element.
The fire element acts as a catalyst for all areas of your life.
If you feel like an area of your home is stagnant, where the energy is stuck, dim, or slow, you can use the fire element to get things going.
Whether that means opening the curtains and windows (the sun is fire energy,) turning on lights (also fire energy!) or lighting candles, the energy in that area of your home and life will start to move.
And lighting a candle with the INTENTION of getting things moving is even more powerful!
