First Impressions
Monthly deliveries come packed in this beautifully branded box. Inside are a bunch of canvas pouches that hold your goodies. You can preview what's inside them by opening the info pamphlet first, or you can take the path of surprise by peeking in each one. I usually do the latter!
Details about the monthly curation are inside this tri-fold pamphlet. This month's also includes a "30 Days of Harmony" mindfulness challenge. Each week is assigned a topic, like "mindfulness and awareness" or "gratitude and appreciation," with a brief idea of how to lean into these concepts. There are boxes so you can check off your time spent in mindfulness each day, and at the end the hope is that you'll feel an increased sense of peace.
On the back is always a teaser into your next box. This subscription is a little different than others, in that the boxes are set up to be sent in a sequence — everyone receives boxes in the same order, no matter when they subscribe. So the teaser on the back of the booklet will be about what YOU are going to receive, and might differ from what you see here.
Here are our sticker and mantra of the month.
What's Inside the June 2024 Mindful Souls Box
Icelandic Spar Cube
See similar for $7.00
I had never seen an Icelandic Spar Cube before, and it's really cool to hold such a translucent piece of stone in my hands. The pamphlet advises to place it outside or near a window to absorb the sun's energy, and then throughout the day you can briefly hold it during moments of stress to soothe your mind. How special. To have something of the Earth to soak up the sun's glory, and then to use it for healing has the potential of being a powerful practice.
Raw Apatite Circle Triangle Necklace
I appreciate the variety of jewelry that's sent in this box—it just goes to show the endless possibilities of what you can do with stones. This one has a chunk of blue raw apatite at its center—a stone connected to the throat chakra and meant here to remind you to embrace the day instead of worrying about the future.
Here it is at its shortest length. A very eye-catching piece.
Rose Quartz Bracelet
See similar for $16.97
This bracelet is simple and pretty, and my favorite part is the silver lotus bead. Rose quartz is a stone of love (including self-love) and harmony. I have an herbalist who has shared so many healing teas, created beautiful altars for group gatherings, and most recently actually put together a cleansing bath for beads while we had a shared evening of making together. She told me she's been looking for a rose quartz bracelet to wear as she works toward the intention of manifesting abundance, and so of course this one went straight to her. Where it belongs!
Clear Quartz Energy Generator
See similar for $16.99
How eye-catching is this energetic tool? The rainbow stones are so vibrant and the radiating way the quartz stones are arranged is so dynamic. Our info card suggests placing this piece near a window to charge up with energy, and to hold in your hands when you need to reconnect with what's important. I showed it to a friend, and her reaction was to place it on her chest—wow, it not only looked so beautiful with that placement, but it also seemed like a very connective spot to place it while lying back and meditating, or even just relaxing.
Moss Agate
See similar for $3.44
I've always liked moss agate. I associate it with a darker green color and sometimes you'll see iridescent streaks through it. This is a slightly lighter piece, and its white markings throughout remind me of churning waves in the ocean. Really cool. It's a good stone for anchoring, one that you can hold and take deep breaths to ground yourself.
Blue Sage & Lavender Smudge Stick - Retail Value $15.97
Finally, we were sent this giant smudge stick. I don't think I've ever seen one so thick! Smudging is a practice borrowed from Indigenous American cultures for cleansing or purifying energies. White sage is a common herb you'll see in smudge sticks, and this one has lavender in there too. I haven't lit it yet but even just holding it in my hand the sage and lavender are very aromatic and soothing.
Verdict
The Cost: $39.97 per month + free shipping to the US.
For the "Finding Inner Peace & Harmony" theme of the Mindful Box, we were provided 6 tools to use toward that intention. This box costs $39.97, and I was sent 6 items. Only one is available in the Mindful Souls shop right now, the smudge stick. For the others (except the Circle Triangle Necklace), I was able to find similar items elsewhere on the Internet, and using those estimated values I added our total contents up to $60.37. That of course goes up when you add the necklace in. I'm happy with that value!
