new age stores

Metaphysical shops provide an oasis of healing, inspiration and community. New Agers view history as divided into spiritual ages; their goal is to usher humanity towards a more peaceful, harmonious existence.

Products such as crystals, tarot cards and relaxation music sell well at these stores, as do any products designed to improve health, according to Hare.

Crystals

Metaphysical supplies like crystals, angel cards and Reiki kits are popular items at new age stores. You might also find astrology products and chakra tools; books about psychic readings and meditation may also be available here.

Retailers offering these types of products say they sell because the general public understands concepts such as Zodiac or chakras – seven energy centers within our bodies – as well as accepting that some psychics exist.

Ginger Price from New Leaf Distributing Company in Lithia Springs, GA reports that inspirational decks with different themes are among the most sought-after products. She notes how health plays an integral role in product selection as boomers seek non-fattening relaxation methods such as green yoga or green juicing classes; additionally smudge sticks made up of bundles of herbs also sell well.

Inspirational Decks

A deck can provide a natural sanctuary that promotes healing, relaxation and rejuvenation. Studies show that spending time in nature can improve focus and mental capacity – making this space perfect for contemplation or reflection on important life decisions. Add an outdoor daybed, cozy area rugs and exotic plants for optimal relaxation or teaching kids about environmental protection.

Books

New Age believers seek wisdom from various sources. They may embrace teachings from Hindu gurus, Christian priests, esoteric Buddhist monks or Yaqui Indian shamans for guidance and spiritual enlightenment. Additionally, New Agers often see history divided into spiritual ages that eventually culminate with peace and spiritual enlightenment – perhaps through technology.

The New Age movement is also marked by a belief that humans are channelers of divine energy and can communicate with semi-divine nonhuman entities such as angels. This leads to an emphasis on psychic abilities as well as healing methods like Reiki, reiki and herbal medicine.

Some communities view New Age practices as being detrimental to Western civilization, creating an impediment to opening a metaphysical store.

Yoga

Yoga classes consist of a series of postures, breathing exercises and meditation techniques designed to increase strength, flexibility, balance and overall wellness. Classes typically last one-and-one-half hours.

Yoga means union; connecting our individual soul or spirit to universal consciousness or spirit. Yoga originated in India to control and still the mind while creating an impartial witness-consciousness free from fluctuations of both mind and ego.

Yoga has long been acknowledged as an effective holistic stress management technique and may assist in the treatment of various health conditions. The benefits include relieving stress, encouraging healthy lifestyle choices, improving sleep and balance as well as raising heart rates into aerobic range.
