I went to look for some crystals and try some sound healing for the first time.

I’ve never had a sound bath before, so I went in a little skeptical. I meditate a lot, but it wasn’t like my usual meditation experience. Maybe it was because I was lying on my back, but I couldn’t completely relax.

Immediately after the session and walking home… ngl, I didn’t feel a difference…. at first. I chalked it up to me potentially not being in the right head space, or sound bathing just not working on me or something.

However… an hour or so after… I noticed that I felt more calm and at peace than I ever could remember. It wasn’t a euphoric or blissful feeling (which I think I was expecting) but a completely neutral feeling. I think the feeling was… contentment?

For the first time in a long time, I felt fine just Existing and Being. Usually I have constant media stimuli in the background of whatever task I’m doing— music, a TV show, a podcast, a YouTube video, etc. But when I got home, I felt like just doing whatever chores or errands that needed to be done without needing any sort of distraction.

At night, I usually scroll on social media before I fall asleep. For some reason, again, I felt no need to. I just went to bed and fell asleep.

It’s been a couple days and the effects have still held up! This guy really knows what he’s doing! If you’ve ever considered a sound bath, I would highly recommend trying it...

I’ve been following studies on how our cells respond to frequency / sound therapy, when I stumbled upon this shop in the middle of another customer receiving a sound bath. I decided to give it a try resulting in a noticeable lighter and calmer feeling afterwards. I immediately scheduled another session, now wanting to try the balancing sound therapy, where you are laying down compared to the sound bath where you are standing. Needless to say, I scheduled another balancing sound therapy and will continue with regular sessions, because although I don’t know yet what is happening on a physiological level, I have experienced significant shifts in my daily life which I want to continue to explore.

The shop owners are a family who are so kind, open to any questions, and eager to share their knowledge with you. They have created a beautiful, peaceful space with incredible meaningful gifts to offer.

Highly recommend visiting them at least once. I’ve already brought two friends in to experience the sound bath and want to make this a staple experience for any of my visiting...

I wanted to like this store, but whichever associate was working last night obviously assumed we were stealing. everywhere we turned, she was always immediately behind us, watching like a hawk. when my friend would speak to me, she would answer to her as well. i understand guarding your business and wares, but it made us all really uncomfortable especially because we believe in karma and would never steal from a small business geared towards spirituality and enlightenment. regardless, there’s a good selection of crystals albeit overpriced. just give people space to look and feel their crystals, that’s how they make a choice. weird vibes but if you can ignore being watched for the entirety of your stay and want to spend $7 on a...
