# Timekeeping Meditation Candles BEL by 3rd Ritual Measures Time with Gravity, Fire and Sound By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2019-05-22 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/meditation-candles References: [instagram](https://www.instagram.com/p/Bxfdpv3AuCh/?igshid=1f6g316g65vgv) & [3rdritual](https://3rdritual.com/product/bel/) For some, the very act of lighting [meditation candles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dolce-far-niente-candle) 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/center-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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adlan-fragrances) 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. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.0/10 - Popularity: 49% | Activity: 63% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Health](https://www.trendhunter.com/health) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Technology-free Meditation:** Opportunity for creating meditation tools that incorporate natural elements and eschew technology. - **Sensorial Timekeeping:** Incorporating sensory elements like sound and gravity in timekeeping devices for a unique meditation experience. - **Holistic Wellness:** Integrating essential oils and natural materials into meditation accessories for a more complete wellness practice. ### Where This Applies - **Meditation Accessories:** Designing innovative meditation tools that enhance the user experience through unique timekeeping features. - **Home Decor:** Creating candles and other home decor products that serve dual purposes, such as timekeeping and relaxation. - **Natural Remedies:** Developing holistic wellness products that incorporate essential oils and natural materials for meditation and mindfulness practices. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Self-Care Reminder Candles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/me-time-candle.md) - [Multi-Sensory Candles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lumin-candles.md) - [Smart Incense Burners](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/recov.md) - [Anti-Distraction Meditation Timers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/meditation-timer.md) - [Mindful Candle Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mindful-candle.md) - [Exquisite Time Lapse Candles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/xl-porcelain-candles.md) - [Distraction-Free Meditation Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/meditation-clock.md) - [Mindfulness Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/space-of-time.md) - [Egg-Shaped Meditation Timers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/donha-egg.md)
