Let A New Age Store Show You The Way To A New Life

By Essie Osborn


The world is an uncertain place and more and more people are searching for answers to the meaning of it all. Some turn to the religion or belief system they grew up with while others are looking elsewhere. This has led to a new consciousness and with the help of a New Age store, you too can embrace it.

New Age philosophy is based on elements from different belief systems, especially Eastern religions such as Buddhism and Hinduism. However, it also borrows from Native American, shamanic and pagan systems. The movement became more popular in the Twentieth Century but saw an explosion of popularity during the hippie age of the Sixties.

A store specializing in the esoteric will sell a variety of books that can help you find the answers you're looking for. There will be books about spirituality, self-help books and guides to different forms of alternative healing, for instance. You may even find DVDs on some subjects. Check out the music section too for CDs with wonderfully relaxing music or even ambient sounds like the calls of whales, to help you meditate and sleep better.

There is usually also a section or shelves displaying a range of colorful crystals. While these are pretty, their function is not aesthetic. Certain crystals have healing properties and are used to balance energies. For instance, you can use quartz crystals to get rid of negative energy.

Alternative healing practices are an important part of the New Age way of life. You'll want to explore remedies like essential oils, tinctures and flower remedies for minor ailments, since these tend to have fewer side effects than pharmaceutical drugs. If you need the help of a professional, the shop may have a notice board or flyers with the contact details of people trained in practices such as reflexology, homeopathy, Reiki massage, color therapy or aura cleansing.

The movement embraces divination as a way to give you an idea of the possible outcomes of your decisions, so that you can make more informed choices. Your local specialist store will have different Tarot decks in stock, for instance. Learn with a traditional deck such as the Rider-Waite Tarot or choose a more contemporary theme that resonates with you. Alternatively, learn the ancient Chinese system of the I Ching or learn how to interpret stones with runes drawn on them.

Many specialist stores focusing on the esoteric also sell clothing and jewelry. You may find lovely robes or striking T-shirts, for instance. Jewelry is often more than just some form of adornment. Crystal pendants or bracelets are designed to balance energies while there are amulets to wear for protection.

Most New Age specialist stores stock a variety of items that can be used in spiritual rituals as well as to decorate your home. There are Tibetan prayer flags, singing bowls and prayer wheels, for instance. These will help you to meditate, as will incense and aromatic candles, so that you can become calm and centered, ready to tackle life's challenges in a new way.
