Lifestream Wick

When lit, the Lifestream Wick releases a soothing scent that fills the room, guiding the body into a state of deep restoration. Its sacred fragrance gently encourages the body to reconnect and regenerate the pathways of the chakra network, while also aiding the circulation of blood and the healing of vessels and channels.

The process is slow and steady, often taking many hours, but its strength lies in allowing the body to relax and repair itself naturally. The candle is most effective when used alongside other healing techniques, such as meditation, focused breathing, Modern medical practice, ritual therapy or long term care.

Followers of Seishin often use the Lifestream Wick during sacred massage practices, helping to realign the body, soothe strain, and restore the subtle connections between spirit and flesh.

The process of creating a Lifestream Wick is sacred and lengthy, requiring both rare ingredients and months of divine blessing.

Step One – Preparing the Mixture

Gather clove, ginger, cinnamon, powdered sunstone, and both types of moonflower oil. Grind and crush the ingredients together, placing them carefully into a consecrated glass jar. Once ready, pour in Seishin’s Holy Oil until the jar is one-quarter full.

Step Two – The Blessing

A priest or priestess of Seishin performs a prayer over the jar, channeling divine energy into the mixture. This is not a quick process—the jar is left in the temple, bathed in prayer once a week and devotion for several months until the oil slowly fills the jar completely, a sign that Seishin has blessed it fully.

Step Three – Binding Oil to Wax

When the oil is ready, beeswax is melted down in a sacred cauldron. As the wax softens, three priests or priestesses chant in perfect rhythm, their voices weaving divine energy into the mixture. Slowly, the blessed oil is poured into the wax, fusing the spiritual and physical essences into one.

Step Four – Forming the Candle

The final step is shaping the candles. Special wicks, also blessed in Seishin’s name, are set within the molds. The finished candles glow a warm orange hue, etched with seven flowing

Temple Practices:

Temples of Seishin use the Lifestream Wick during oil massages, cleansing rituals, and blessings. The candle’s energy helps prepare the body, restoring balance and leaving it as fit and refreshed as possible. It is most often lit after periods of hard work, spiritual exertion, or as part of relaxation rites.

Medical Applications:

Doctors and other medical practitioners employ the Lifestream Wick as a complementary aid in treatment. Its energy assists in repairing both the chakra network and the circulatory system, making recovery faster and more complete.

Warnings

Overuse: Long term use of the Lifestream Wick while in good health can cause lightheadedness, mild headaches, or minor magical flares. These effects are not usually dangerous, but it is recommended to burn the candle no more than once every two weeks for general cleansing or temple massage practices.

Blood Concerns: Those taking blood thinning treatments or magical medicines that affect circulation should use caution. Improper use may worsen conditions, causing excessive bleeding, dizziness, or in rare cases, heart strain to heart attack. Always consult a temple healer or licensed physician before use.

Chakra Network Treatments: Individuals undergoing medical or treatments that manipulate the chakra network should be especially careful. The candle’s energy can “overcharge” the flow of mana, causing you to burn through reserves too quickly. This may result in spells consuming more energy than intended, minor elemental surges, or spontaneous magical flares. If too much magic is drawn while under the candle’s influence, your body may become sluggish and you could collapse from exhaustion. In extreme cases of excessive use, this may even lead to a comatose state. Use only under the supervision of a healer or as prescribed during treatment.
