Embrace A New Consciousness With The Help Of A New Age Store

By Essie Osborn


In these uncertain times, many people are looking towards spirituality to help them make sense of the world. However, a growing number of people in the Western world are becoming dissatisfied with the religions they grew up with, such as Christianity, Islam and Judaism. They're instead taking elements of ancient religions such as Hinduism, pagan religions and the traditional belief systems of indigenous peoples or they look towards the East for inspiration. A New Age store can help you find the belief system and way of life that works for you.

The term 'New Age' refers to a movement that became especially popular since the Sixties and the hippie era. It borrows from different belief systems all around the world. People who embrace this way of life not only focus on the spiritual, though. They often see the universe as a holistic entity and believe in the healing powers of nature.

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.

It's not only crystals and rocks that are used for healing. Other products for alternative healing include essential oils, flower remedies, tinctures and herbs. You'll even find the tools for sound or color therapy. If you'd rather leave healing to the experts, the shop will be able to point you in the direction of someone who practices something like Reiki massage therapy.

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.

If you like your clothing to reflect your belief system, your local store may even have garments that appeal to you. T-shirts that have been tie-dyed or hand-painted with fairies or esoteric symbols are especially popular. You'll also find a range of gorgeous jewelry with healing crystal pendants or protective amulets.

Your way of life should not only be reflected in what you wear but where you live. This is why you'll find art and home decorations too. Some may even help you to balance your energies and become spiritually centered. For instance, the prayer wheels, singing bowls and prayer flags of Tibetan Buddhism may aid meditation. Incense not only makes your home smell great but can have relaxing properties as well.

Enjoy A Horse Performance In A Show Or At The Racetrack

By Essie Craft Riding or watching this magnificent animal is such a pleasure. It captures the hearts of a crowd to witness a horse performance of any kind. Being a spectator or holding out a hand to offer a treat will always create a wonderful memory. There are variations but the two basic types of riding are English and Western. This refers to the tack that is used, the saddle and bridle. For the English riding and jumping events, a flat saddle and bridle with double reins are used. The rider controls the animal holding the reins in two hands. Small water obstacles, brick walls and fences set up in different sequences are used in jumping competitions. In a Western show you will see the rider take the steed around the cloverleaf pattern in the barrel race or weave between the poles in the pole bending event. The Western saddle is bulkier. The saddle horn at the front is where the old time ranch hands tied their ropes as they lassoed calves for branding. In a rodeo the c...
