I am a big fan of this sort of sympathetic magic.
I use various altars to put the pictures or symbols of what I'm trying to draw into my life, but it works the same as your board.
I've recently started burning a candle as I sit with my various vision boards.
I've found the candle to be very helpful.
That's interesting to hear!
Yes, I think that the idea is the same. I've heard that candle flame can be great for meditation as well, so maybe it is relaxing and helps with focus during visualisation. I need to get some candles myself.
Thanks for sharing your experience! :)
