Because peace should feel like home.
May is Mental Health Awareness Month—a time to check in, slow down, and prioritize our inner well-being. At Kindred Spirit Candle Company, we believe that even a few intentional minutes can transform your mood, your day, and your space.
Here’s a 5-minute self-care routine designed to bring you back to center, featuring comforting scents and grounding energy.
⸻
1. Light Your Intention (1 minute)
Choose a candle that meets your mood—one that supports how you want to feel right now.
Try:
• Jamaica Please – to find calm after a chaotic day
• White Sage + Lavender – for mental clarity and peace
• Cereal Milk – if you’re craving nostalgic comfort
As the flame flickers to life, take one deep breath. Let that be your reset.
⸻
2. Ground in Gratitude (1 minute)
While your candle fills the room with scent, place your hand over your heart and think of one thing you’re grateful for—no matter how small.
A soft blanket. A phone call. A moment of quiet. A scent that makes you feel safe. Let it sink in.
⸻
3. Stretch or Stillness (2 minutes)
Choose what your body craves:
• A simple stretch, arms overhead, shoulder rolls, side bends
• Or sit in stillness with your eyes closed and your breath steady
Let the candle create the atmosphere. Let your space become a sanctuary.
⸻
4. Anchor with an Affirmation (1 minute)
Say this aloud or whisper it to yourself:
“I honor my need for rest, and I welcome calm into my life.”
Or create your own. Something simple, true, and soft.
⸻
Need More Than 5 Minutes?
Let it expand. Journaling. A cup of tea. A longer stretch. A bath. This is your time.
And if your space needs a little extra love, explore our Candles to find scents that support your spirit every day.
⸻
Because comfort isn’t a luxury—it’s a need. And you deserve to feel at home in your mind, body, and space.
Warmly,
Monique
