Honest review: I was simply THRILLED to find a metaphysical store that had singing bowls in stock that I could play and find one (or a few?) That I throughly enjoyed. I visited and played each, in the end buying three bowls. Wanting to know more, I searched the branding on the bottom of the bowl. I paid $75 and $55 for a six inch and 4" bowl. When I searched the bowls, they were $10.95 and $29 on the wholesellers website. I also purchased a bowl cut from a divers tank for $125. I also searched this and found that the local creator of these bowls sells them for $60. Now I understand that a company must make a profit in order to survive, but the markup on these items was ridiculous and I was stupid to pay them- for cheap product. This is my warning to the next fellow, this store is overpriced. Do your due diligence and research before you spend $300, before you find out you could have spent $100 or spent $300 on quality singing bowls.Thank goodness I did not purchase the crystal bowl for $900 that I wanted. I won't be returning. (Photo of tank bells is direct from the bell projects FB page and deserves...

There aren't many stores here that specialize mainly in the metaphysical, so it's wonderful to have Celestial Awakenings around as an option. Not only do they have a wonderful selection of candles, soaps, and especially crystals, but they have other items too like journals as well as events that they offer. The outside of the store honestly looks a bit scary like a haunted house, though I think that's part of the appeal. Interestingly enough, the inside is very welcoming.
My only complaint is that there aren't too many metaphysical-related books inside. I'm more of a word witch, so magick books are my passion and I love exploring libraries. I was able to buy THE PATHFINDER by Chad Diamond Dann, and I met his wife behind the cashier counter, who was incredibly sweet. I loved the vibe of the store and would like to come back. It's an excellent place to buy gifts for my...
