Candle Gazing The practice of candle gazing is a well-known form of meditation. You will even find this meditation included in the WII Fit game! Select a candle. Place it in a holder or on a fire-safe surface in front of you. If you choose, you may play some relaxing music to assist in your meditation. Light the candle and begin to gaze at the flame. As you breathe slowly, imagine yourself melting into the flame, letting yourself go. When you are ready, withdraw your gaze from the flame and bring your awareness back to the room.
