Inner Path — Local services in Indianapolis

I am so ( and I can not stress this enough) SO very far from who I was before I opened my mind and my heart to spirituality. My growth is (here comes the ego) off of the charts! (It’s okay, ego and I work hand in hand now so it speaks in alignment with self-love, not arrogance🙏). I have turned to studying in place of stagnation. To acceptance in place of shame. To light in place of its absence. To love in place of the alternative. I could continue in abundant detail in regards to the changes brought forth in my life, changes that deploy much credit to Devi at the lovely Inner Path Store in Indy. However to deliver recognition to its deserving recipient I’ll leave it to its early closing, though it serves purpose in this honest and authentic review. I came to Devi out of pure coincidence (or did I?) as I had absolutely zero knowledge of what I wanted to accomplish or who could help me digest the feeling of a call to something unknown. So as we all plead guilty of doing in such times, I went to Google. I saw many places that were open, but the one that stood out to me was closed at the time. It was close to me, but not the closest. I didn’t give thought to which one I would go to. I somehow felt connected to the option that was currently closed and I stayed home, because maybe I got lazy and not leaving the house sounded good to me. (or did I?). I went the next day following a long shift at work and made it 10 mins before she would close again (Ah yes, I was indeed that guy, and I still feel the guilt. Yes I work in retail, yes I too am visited by that guy when it’s time to go.) I walked in to ask for help expecting an unwelcoming employee to help me back to the exit as soon as possible. I couldn’t have been more wrong to judge the character of her beautiful soul💛. Before I got both feet in the door her voice carried an elongated “Hi” to greet me. With little time to gather a response she offered her help wherever it was needed. I stumbled over my words trying to make everything make sense to her when it didn’t even make sense to me. She asked me many questions, trying to understand how she could truly help me. She walked with me smilingly, giving me meaningful suggestions. She was so excited for me to be taking my first steps towards the light. She was so happy I that I made it 10 minutes before she would have left and stayed for 30 (again, the guilt of being that guy is making me cringe. lol.) She made a necklace with the stones I picked out after she explained their benefits to me, I didn’t ask her to do this, she offered to do it because it was obvious I didn’t know how to. She genuinely cared and didn’t want me to struggle. We talked some more then I left and with me was the understanding that I was not “that guy” to her. I was someone she loved and cared for, even being a stranger. This spoke volumes about the community she was apart of, I too am a member of this community because of it. I read the book she suggested to me. After page 5 I was taking notes ( I have never used my free will to take notes lol, this was significant.) I wore the necklace she made with the stones she taught me about to work the next day, I’m wearing it now several months later. I’ve gotten more books, more stones, and have shared more moments with her since then. I’m here presently glowing in my truth era and my urge to grow and study becomes more and more overflowing by the day. So no I wasn’t lazy that day. No it wasn’t a coincidence I came to her. No I’m not going to say “No I wasn’t that guy” because that doesn’t change LOL. Seriously, if you find yourself on her page in search of something authentic and healing, please do not surrender to indecisiveness. She will give you all of the gifts she holds, even if you are “that guy”. I will forever recommend her to everyone. Don’t thank me later, thank Devi on the way out after you see her💛. May all be well to you all on your beautiful journeys😊

Toxic Positivity In A Sacred Place.

As a loyal customer, this review is bittersweet. I've been coming to The Inner Path for almost if not two decades now. I've always been greeted and welcomed by the various associates in this time, I've enjoyed the classes hosted there, love the numerous tarot readings as well. I've never had one single issue when I've stepped through the door. Even when I was having a hard day, I would stop by and feel a lot better leaving. Until July 3rd 2025, I stopped by to aquire a few needed items and first thing was, I wasn't acknowledged as I came in nor were the customers after. As stated there was no time were there wasn't a greeting despite being busy. I aquired my items and headed to check out, one of the two sales associates was busy with customer's both on and off the phone, which I have no issue with. The other one, a young black woman named Destiny or Divine I believe, went out of her way to keep me waiting and kept helping this one customer (who was also a black woman) despite having already paid for her stuff. The young associate was very rude and clearly did everything in her power to avoid me wanting to pay for my stuff, which I wanted to buy more but being treated like this, well I wanted to just go. She then rudely told me "She can help you over there" to which I waited patiently for her to finish with a customer on the phone. This young woman was very unfriendly towards me, made me feel unwelcomed. Now for the uncomfortable part, this person is clearly a racist misondrist, I am also in retail and I know how the game is played by sales associates when it comes to customers they don't want to deal with. Except I was being judged for being a white male minding his business and wanting to buy his stuff and get on with the rest of my day. I can understand if I was being problematic or causing a scene but I wasn't, to me The Inner Path is a sacred space and would never jeopardize one of my favorite places. I came back today July 16th 2025, to finish picking up what I couldn't on the third, and this associate was there and happily talking to women. Which was fine I reckon because I was there to quickly get a few things and again carry on my day. Michelle was a fantastic associate, greeted everyone and made us feel welcomed.

I've been a loyal customer, The Inner Path is one of my favorite Spiritual Stores, to be treated rudely and judged by the color of my skin and my gender. . . Was uncalled for and very unnecessary, especially when she was pretending to be love and light with Positivity.

No, I did not have a good day that day but...

Ok, hands down, this place has the best staff around. Very knowledgeable and unbelievably polite. Now I'm not talking got at a phish show trying to give you a questionable grilled cheese sandwich, that makes you feel uneasy, polite. I'm talking genuinely happy to see you, people.

They will go out of their way to open all cases and show you what you want to look at. Even if you're just browsing they don't treat you like a lookie loo. They all seem very eager to spread the knowledge that they've learned on their journeys in life. It doesn't matter what you look like, what you're wearing, whether you be timid or outgoing, they just see you as human and they help you out. I love that about this place.

They have some of the best crystals around that I have seen as well as handmade jewelry. This place has something for everybody.

I know I'm just a random guy but I would highly recommend this place.

One thing to note. This is not a head shop. They don't deal in glassware or anything that's going to get you high so if you're looking for that sort of thing this isn't your place. They're not on that. They're all about love, life and enlightenment. Not finding the coolest thing you can...
