Manifestation Box Review

Each month a handcrafted gemstone bracelet is included. It’s personalized to your wrist size and made with carefully picked healing crystals based on the energies in the Universe to assist your practice. This month the bracelet inspired by “Letting go of the Need for Control” is made with apatite and aventurine.

The information cards shared that: “Apatite helps you accept yourself as you really are. and to gain greater self confidence. This is a stone that assists you to release any feelings of guilt you may be holding onto, and its energy will uplift your spirits.” and also, “Aventurine is known as the “Stone of Opportunity.” thought to be the luckiest of all crystals, especially in manifesting prosperity and wealth, or for increasing favor in competitions or games of chance. Its winning energy makes it a great ally for boosting one’s chances in any situation – a first date, tax audit. even landing a promotion. One needs only to be near it to derive its benefits.”

I can totally see why both of these stones were chose for this month’s bracelet. As the welcome letter mentioned, opportunity arrives once you let go of what’s holding you down. I love that these stones encourage the confidence to be open to possibility along with increasing luck and positivity for said possibilities too. What a great and lovely bracelet to wear for grounding during the process too. I love the bright and complementary colors that are inspiring and uplifting by just catching a glance of their hues.  

 Map Jasper Pendant Necklace ($29 value)

You will also find a handcrafted gemstone necklace in each monthly box. It is also made with carefully picked healing crystals based on the energies in the Universe to assist your practice. The “Letting go of the Need for Control” necklace this month is made with a faceted teardrop shaped map jasper stone. I’d not heard of this stone before and find it to be such an interesting stone with it’s neutral colors and “roadway” paths of darker hues that wind throughout. I’m really not much of a brown fan for wardrobe colors, so I don’t picture this being a necklace I’d wear often, but I do certainly like it’s healing properties and am always in the need of letting go of control of things and finding balance so I might need to incorporate it for that fact alone!

The pendant is made from map jasper and the information shared that: “Map Jasper provides protection and absorbs negative energy. It balances yin and yang. Jasper clears electromagnetic and environmental pollution, including radiation. It encourages honesty with one’s self. Map Jasper is a soothing stone that has a Valium like effect on the nerves. As its name implies, this stone reminds us of the interconnectedness of all sentient beings. It connects us with the universal energy and promotes connection with others.”

I’m so intrigued by map jasper’s unique healing properties. The balancing, calming and connecting effects seem especially useful, particularly when working on letting go of the need for control. It’s important to be reminded that we have support of others through connections so that we don’t have to do everything ourselves, and of course being calm and balanced helps see that message clearly. 

Aquamarine Healing Crystal ($9 value)

Each monthly box includes a healing crystal, a gemstone or an earth element to meditate with. You can hold it in your palm or keep it under your pillow to enhance your practice. This month the healing crystal of aquamarine was chosen. The handy interpretation card included information that “Aquamarine has a rich color and has long been a symbol of youth, health and hope. It increases one’s access to courage. The serene color of aquamarine is said to cool the temper, allowing the wearer to remain calm and levelheaded. Its pale, cool color beautifully complements spring and summer wardrobes.”

I just love the calming, light blue color of this stone. And I appreciate the properties it carries of bring a peaceful effect even more. The oval shape is interesting and almost adds to the calming effect too. It’s very important to have a level head in order to let go of control and find acceptance, so this stone is perfect for the March theme.

Affirmation Cards ($10 value)

Each month you will also receive two powerful affirmation cards to create EMPOWERING BELIEFS and set your mind on compassionate living. The idea is to keep one, and gift one. This month’s message is “Incredible change happens in your life when you decide to take control of what you do have power over instead of craving control over what you don’t” – Steve Maraboli.

What a wonderful reminder and perfect words for the monthly theme. I’ve got to hang this one front and center for a daily reminder. I don’t love the image on this month’s card being in black and white since that doesn’t stand out to draw attention for that reminder, but I do like that it’s clear the subject is letting go of something matching the words. One thought I had about these cards since the idea is to share with others is that it would be cool if they were postcards so you could mail it to share it if you wanted, but I suppose it’s just as easy to pop it in an envelope and send it along too.

Astrology Forecast ($10 value)

You’ll receive a PERSONALIZED Astrology forecast for health, love and happiness based on your Zodiac each month. When you subscribe you choose your zodiac on the submission form and then each month you’ll get a horoscope sent just for you. I’m a sucker for reading horoscopes so I love that one comes with this subscription. I appreciate how it loosely connects to the theme in that it asks deep questions for self discovery, but is larger in it’s purpose too. My personal horoscope says March is all about the chance to Network. It sounds like the month will be full of opportunities to expand and explore which often leads to natural networking. It’s interesting as I’ve already scheduled a few opportunities to try new things and meet new people for next month before I even read this. Looking forward to what next month might bring! 

Final Thoughts

This month’s theme really connects with me as I often feel the need to control things in order to feel calm. Though that’s often just an illusion, and this months box reminded me of that. I love the intention of the tools and found the stone choices to be really interesting and not like any other pieces I’ve received recently. I really enjoyed the intro letter and the tips it provided and look forward to putting together a little practice this month to flourish, instead of hold myself back by the need for control. Once again, a lovely collection sent by the Manifestation Box!
