Reflective Candles Colouring - pdf

This simple resource creates space to reflect on the things and people who bring light in our lives.

It's a spiritual care activity first developed to be used by patients and families in hospital, but can be used by anyone experiencing any type of difficulty around Christmas (or any other time of year!). Connecting with the things and people who are important to us is an essential spiritual need we all have, but one which is more acute when we are struggling.

The pdf has two pages, one with a picture and instructions, one with just the picture. You can use either or both.

The instructions say:

One way we can celebrate especially when life is hard, is by remembering things and people who bring light into our lives.

What or who brings light into your life? 

Who do you bring light to? 

Write them here

Choose a different colour for each flame above that helps you remember a person or thing that brings light into your life.

Use the four colours to colour the picture.

Download and print onto the nicest paper you have and share with anyone who might appreciate a bit of space to reflect. Maybe even you...

I hope you find this a helpful resource.
