A trip to the hippy store for some good ol' fashioned New Age healing!…read more
Susan, the owner, is really sweet, and extremely knowledgeable about everything in her store, and beyond. Pick her brain as much as you want; she is super-helpful!
We saged last fall, and I have been filling my house with salt lamps, and essential oil burners, to make better energy, and it really feels like it's working. This is important to me, because I have felt like there is extreme negative energy with our house since we bought it over 10 years ago.
The former owner of our house died of a lung issue. Strangely enough, after suffering liver issues (which we spent tens of thousands over 2 years to try to help), our beloved dog unfortunately declined, and died of pneumonia in 2014. The following year I got pneumonia, and it took an unexpectedly long time to go away. This winter, after multiple upper respiratory infections, I wanted to visit EarthSpeak to try to help my energy more.
While I thought I knew a lot of stones and their properties, and the general rules of which color stones go with which chakras (though there are exceptions), Susan has so many more that are brand new to me. Among others, I was introduced to Moldavite, which is a kind of a glass-stone formed from a meteorite hitting earth over 14M years ago in Czechoslovakia. It is known to help with major life transformations. The stone itself was formed by an explosive chemical transformation when it collided with Earth, and, it is extraterrestrial (which we tend to think of as futuristic), so the roots of the beliefs make sense that way. Though perhaps folkloric, I am still a believer, I have to say. I know a lot of people who have been helped by their stone friends.
Here is an odd coincidence. I went to the pocket stones section and started palming them to see if I connected with any energy. I love the energies of the crown chakra stones (many clears and whites). I am drawn to selenite and crystal quartz, but I had never seen apophyllite. As soon as I touched it, I could not put it down. It was such positive energy. Susan heard me coughing the whole visit, and when I got to the register she told me apophyllite helps with the lungs. She even had an apophyllite aromatherapy oil on hand, which she said has been very helpful to her clients. I bought both, and the next day started feeling significantly better. Power of thought? Perhaps, but why was I drawn to that stone, of all the stones in the store, without any prior knowledge of it? If I have to go to the hospital, I'm not going to consult stones first, but I do believe there are subtle aides in geology that have energetic value.
EarthSpeak has a website for online sales shipped to your door, which offers cool deals they don't have in store, but vice versa for the store as well, since they have products/deals there, that aren't offered online. Many prices beat Etsy, online and in store, and of course heavier items bought in store save you shipping fees.
16 years ago they were located in Berwyn, but they later moved to Kimberton. Wish they were still in Berwyn, since it's so close to me, but the Kimberton location is a great store, with nice energy!
Seven Stones in Media is closer to me, but EarthSpeak has higher quality and far superior customer service, so I will head to EarthSpeak from now on. Just sorry it took me so long to finally visit! :-)
