Lee Yarnell opened her New Age shop in Knoxville after years as a roller skater and working at Green Earth Emporium. Her store boasts artwork from local artists that promote inclusion and environmentalism, adding her store an added layer of support to Knoxville’s community.

Contrary to stereotype, many new age retailers are finding success despite negative perceptions. Retailers can achieve this success by branding their businesses as lifestyle stores with concepts more readily understood by mainstream customers.

Crystals

Crystals are beautiful stones with incredible healing powers. Crystals can clear chakra energy centers and boost immune systems. Additionally, many crystals have been said to attract prosperity while others promote love and kindness. Some wear jewelry featuring them; others place them around their home to keep bad energy away.

Crystals may provide some benefits due to the placebo effect. A 2021 study demonstrated how mindfulness meditation helps alleviate military-related PTSD symptoms, with adding crystals increasing its benefits.

As New Age encompasses such a broad array of beliefs and practices, it can be difficult to market your store with one umbrella term. Journeys of Life in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania has successfully avoided being labeled a New Age shop; instead it describes itself as a spiritual gift store. Some wholesalers suggest offering products associated with zodiac and chakra symbols for greater public understanding.

Incense

No matter the setting – living room, meditation room or pooja hall – incense can create an instantaneous change in atmosphere and restore feelings of serenity and serenity. Additionally, incense smoke also raises serotonin levels in your brain, acting as a natural mood regulator while encouraging better sleep and digestion.

Incense is used as part of many religions to create sacred spaces and purify the air, including Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, Islam, Judaism and Zionism. Its sweet aroma also makes an excellent alternative to plug-in air fresheners, scented candles or disinfectant sprays.

Felicia Riccardo of Starlinks in Long Beach, CA reports that incense and crystals aren’t the only New Age items on offer – books on chakras or zodiac signs may also be popular choices according to Felicia. New Age Tarot Cards can also provide insight into a person’s life while aiding with their spiritual journey – they come in various decks from several manufacturers that can give guidance for life journey.

Tarot Cards

Tarot cards can be an invaluable resource for divination, spiritual guidance, and personal growth. Tarot can help you connect to your intuition and inner wisdom as well as provide clarity about where your path lies in life. They may even inspire creative solutions or open up new vistas of possibility.

Though traditional meanings of tarot cards can be helpful, it is also important to let your own experiences guide your interpretation of them. If you require concrete answers quickly, try performing either a “yes or no” reading or using a simple three-card spread which represents past, present and future events.

Jude Hinson of Manduley Tarot Readers notes that Tarot Cards can assist with mental health issues like anxiety and depression by opening dialogue and providing soul care. She cautions, however, against replacing therapy or medication with Tarot reading; she recommends including Tarot in your routine to boost self-care while healing trauma; choosing a deck that doesn’t reinforce gender and class stereotypes is recommended as well.

Natural Fiber Clothes

Natural fiber clothing is becoming an increasingly popular option among eco-conscious shoppers and those with sensitive skin who can often be bothered by synthetic fabrics.

Natural fabrics are more breathable and gentler on your skin, plus more durable than synthetic garments – which make them the better option for active lifestyles.

There are two broad categories of natural fibers: plant-based and animal-based. Plant-based fabrics like cotton, hemp, linen and bamboo come from seeds, stems and leaves of plants while animal-derived fabrics include wool, silk and cashmere.

Eco-minded consumers often gravitate toward clothing brands made of natural fibers due to their commitment to ethical supply chains and environmental sustainability. Look for those that have earned Fair Trade Certification(tm). Also seek brands offering safe working conditions.
