How to Set Intentions with the Sheba Scents New Moon Ritual Candle with Aromatherapy Benefits
What the New Moon Represents
The new moon is a sacred pause.
It is the quietest phase of the lunar cycle—a moment where the sky is dark, still, and full of potential. Energetically, it represents new beginnings, intention setting, reflection, and emotional reset.
For your body, mind, and spirit, this phase offers something deeply needed in today’s world:
permission to slow down, reflect, and consciously choose what comes next.
At Sheba Scents, this is the essence of Permission to Pause.
Why New Moon Rituals Matter
A new moon ritual isn’t about perfection—it’s about presence.
When you take time to sit with yourself and intentionally align your thoughts, emotions, and environment, you begin to:
- Reduce mental overwhelm
- Create clarity and focus
- Reconnect with your inner voice
- Release what no longer serves you
- Set aligned, meaningful intentions
This is where ritual becomes powerful.
It transforms a simple moment into a grounding, healing experience.
The Role of Aromatherapy in Intention Setting
Scent is one of the most powerful tools for emotional and nervous system regulation.
Through the limbic system—the part of the brain that processes emotions and memory—aromatherapy can instantly shift your state.
When paired with intention setting, it helps you:
- Anchor your intentions emotionally
- Create a calming ritual environment
- Enhance focus and mental clarity
- Deepen meditation and reflection
- Signal safety and relaxation to your body

🌑 How to Perform a New Moon Ritual at Home
Creating your own ritual doesn’t need to be complicated. It just needs to be intentional.
Step 1: Create a Sacred Space
- Dim the lights
- Turn off distractions
- Light your Sheba Scents New Moon Candle
- Take a few deep breaths
Let the scent begin to ground you.
Step 2: Reflect
Ask yourself:
- What am I ready to release?
- What has been weighing on me?
- Where do I feel stuck or overwhelmed?
Write freely. No judgment.
Step 3: Set Intentions
Now shift forward:
- What do I want to call into my life?
- How do I want to feel this month?
- What energy do I want to embody?
Write your intentions in present tense:
“I am grounded.”
“I am clear and aligned.”
“I welcome peace and abundance.”
Step 4: Anchor with Breath & Scent
Close your eyes.
Breathe in the aroma of the candle slowly and deeply.
Let the scent anchor your intentions into your body.
This is where aromatherapy transforms your ritual into a felt experience.
Step 5: Release & Trust
If you feel called, safely burn or tear up your “release” list.
Let it go.
Trust that what is meant for you will unfold.

This practice is powerful because it combines:
