For some, the very act of lighting meditation candles signals that it's time to create the space to get centered and focus, sometimes with the help of an app or some sort of other meditation timer that sets parameters for the mental practice. BEL by 3rd Ritual is a unique, technology-free solution for meditation that serves as a timekeeping tool powered by gravity, fire and sound.
The hand-dipped coconut candles that are infused with the essential oils of palo santo, French lavender and sage can be stuck with solid brass pins, which will eventually drop and create a sound when the wax melts. To accurately measure time, a side of the candle box provides a ruler so that the pins can be placed at appropriate points on the candle.
