Meltzer’s Spirit Weavers may seem bizarre, but studies show that interest in New Age ideas is far more democratic and varied than this distorted depiction implies. Retailers catering to this market must know both their products well as well as how best to promote and market them effectively.

The New Age movement encompasses an expansive spectrum of beliefs, but several main threads can be identified within it. Theologically, New Agers tend to accept an all-embracing form of divinity that encompasses life on all levels–from earthly organisms such as humans to divine forces such as cosmic energies. New Agers typically view history in terms of spiritual ages with today being known as the Age of Aquarius.

SoulJourney
Soul Journey jewelry is carefully hand-crafted in California using vibrant gemstones to give wearers inspiration and energy for their soul journeys. Every piece designed by Jill Boylan represents different aspects of that journey.
A soul journey is a path of self-discovery and spiritual enlightenment in which individuals seek to understand themselves within the universe, including religion and spiritual practices like meditation or yoga, along with intuition and trusting synchronicities. Each journey is individualistic; depending on a person’s beliefs and experiences it may involve exploring religious or spiritual traditions as well as meditation or yoga practices, as well as following one’s intuition or trusting synchronicities as part of this experience.
Based on one’s level of spiritual advancement, soul journeying may or may not include spirit guides. Souls are closely tied with karma – the law of cause and effect which determines our destiny both here and beyond – which dictates their journey through this life and beyond. Some individuals can achieve ultimate liberation known as moksha which symbolizes peace and ecstasy according to Hinduism and Buddhism.
