I went to the Chakra Shoppe for help with a health issue. I have been practicing a healing visualization given to me by Blanche and techniques from Lillian to consciously create reality. A recent scan confirmed that the condition is improving. The Chakra Shoppe is an amazing place for learning and healing! read more

This is a small shop with a limited amount of merchandise. They only had about ten or so tarot decks and most i didn't find beautiful or interesting at all. The crystals and beaded necklaces were nice to look at, and there must've been 6 or 7 varieties of sage smudge sticks. They were playing nice music and burning nice incense. Unfortunately by the time I left my tongue tasted like soap from the incense. And I have to say it was quite off-putting to have so many different modalities rattled off that they supposedly specialize in - (psychic readings , reiki and I don't remember what all else) - I felt sure it was all a scam and not to be trusted. Which left yet another bad taste in my mouth because sick and suffering people should not be taken advantage of like that. read more

I was surprised to hear that The Chakra Shoppe has been here in this location for nigh on 15 years. I've lived in the neighborhood for almost 13, and I swear I only saw it within the last five. I wonder what else I have missed in plain sight! They have a lot of tools for meditation, self-reflection, and focus. There are tarot cards which you can use in reflection; varying stones or crystals you can use to focus energy or that have particular properties said to be good for one thing or another. They also offer classes or workshops on a few topics, too. The man who was working was pleasant and helped me identify a stone or two that I was unsure about in the jewelry. I was looking particularly at the sterling jewelry in the locked case and ended up with a small pink tourmaline ring to add to my collection. read more

Love Blanche! SUCH a doll! She always gives off wonderful energy and is SUPER inviting of anyone and everyone that walks into her shop. The first thing she and her friendly associate ask if it's "your first time" visiting the store. Did I wish she remembered me from the less than handful of times I visited prior or that my spiritual repertoire proceeds me? Naw, I just told her I'd been there before. Wide array of bracelets, books, candles, teas, incense, crystals, necklaces, decor, you name it-she probably has it. She may mention a reading or two but respects your boundaries if you politely decline. I appreciate her upsell tactics. I've had a cleansing and a reading from here before. It's not crazy overpriced either. Belief can be a powerful thing. Take it all with a grain of salt and don't get lost in the occult trying to find an answer -many people lose all their money in doing so. read more

I had such a wonderful akashic records reading from Lilian yesterday. She gave me such valuable information that has already opened doors for me to expand my consciousness and professional life. Lilians reading propelled me to take immediate positive action on my life. Nothing has ever inspired me into action before. The chakra shoppe has the highest quality crystals with lower prices than anyone else around. The staff is knowledgeable and happy to help assist you with any and all curiosities and questions about crystals and chakras and pretty much any metaphysical knowledge they have they are happy to share. read more

The Chakra Shoppe - It felt like vibrating. Heavy at times while the releasing was happening. I feel like I engaged in work of beautiful art I was the canvas - A person in a meditative pose with chakra symbols aligned along the body, set against a vibrant cosmic space background. - Supernatural Readings Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I had a wonderful session with Blanche Blacke for chakra healing. This is something new to me and I wanted to be open and try it out. For 2 1/2 years I've had pain on the right side of my neck (due to stress) and today I woke up without pain. I can turn my neck all the way to my right side. My session with her was positive, funny and uplifting. I would definitely recommend her services. read more

I've been a few times now and each time it has been wonderful. I went to Lillian for Akashic records, which gave me insight to myself and help me understand more about myself! Lillian is brilliant, kind and amazing! I went to a chakra clearing class, it was not only about learning but also about getting to the root of traumas and old programs. It was better than therapy! Blanche helped me with new intentions and new programming. And how to change my programming. I got to some of the roots of healing! It's better than I could have ever imagined. Between Lillian an d Blanche, I am on my way to healing. As we can always work on ourselves. So many emotions came out! It was beautiful! read more

This shop was totally amazing! Very clean and the staff was so informative and helpful! They even offer classes to help you use their products. I enrolled into one of their classes and I cant wait to attend! They even cleansed my friend before we left. I can't wait to come back! read more

I received an energy clearing from Blanche Blacke and it was great! She was able to see where my chakras were at and gave a really good recommendation personalized to my life and the stressors that come about to stay in a high vibration state. She has a true gift and her natural voice literally sounds like singing bowls- very healing. Highly recommend! read more

I just had a tarot reading with Paula, which was brilliant and spot-on! I left here with all of my questions answered and then some. Beautiful shop as well. Definitely worth stopping in here. read more

6 years ago, I had enrolled into Grad school and at the age of 24. I recalled speaking with my college advisor and I had experienced the strangest thing: The room around me seemed to feel heavy and it was spinning to my right but everything in the space was still. FYI, I was not under the influence in any way! After my conversation with my advisor, I cried because I was under alot of stress from having so many responsibilities at the time- full time worker, full time student, and a dancer. Little did I know, but I was experiencing the opening of my third eye for the first time in my life. Upon searching online for a venue that works with chakras, I came across the Chakra Shoppe. And so, like any ordinary person, I did my research prior to coming in. With that said, I read reviews and attended in person for me to have a well balanced perspective. I genuinely was at awe of what I had experienced across the next few years to come. Little did I know, but I would be a consistent patron to this shop. Upon arrival, I checked in with Blanche and had numerous balancing sessions to help guide me to truth, balance my chakras/injuries, and to be more intune with my own power as a medium/healer in development. I did not know it at first, but I would later look to Blanche as my potential mentor in my journey of healing. Thank you, Blanche. I also recalled whenever I had alot of discomfort and frustration from my work or personal relationships, I would check in with April. In her session, she gave me a breakdown of what I could expect across a great span of months. I cherished this information and did my best to be proactive given the challenges that came to me, which came about very acurately as April had predicted. I even recalled one time she had recommended a particular meditation to ground me, which I found to be very useful and I continue to put it to practice till this very day. Thank you, April. One day, I happened to have come across Joseph Polise for a Tarot Reading. At this time, I was in a pivotal stage of my career and felt I could use a more objective perspective. In session, I felt he was a very gifted and accurate reader, almost as if he had done this work in a previous lifetime; sinply meaning, he's a natural to the intuitive work. Near the end of our session, I couldnt help but to smile and to complement, but needless to say, I had made the adjustments that were recommended, which resulted in me having a healthier and clearer picture of what needs were required to bring about the vision I wanted. Thank you, Joseph. Additionally, Reverend Earl would usually check customers in and provide valuable insight about crystals and other material in the front of the shoppe. However, one day I asked him for an Ashaki record reading- Im hoping I spelled that correctly! Needless to say, I learned of his accuracies in pointing out some of the unhealthy forms of trauma to have surfaced in my life without sharing anything too specific. I appreciated his intuitiveness and in a form of a reading that I was not too well versed in. Thank you, Earl. Lastly, I recalled having two Chakra Balance readings performed by Henya. What I particularly valued about Henya was that she could read my energy before I even got into session with her; in some ways, it reminded me of how Im able to pick up on things with the youth that I have worked with. In session, I valued her offering a deep debriefing to establish both clarity and the intention. And in session, there was something very effortless about her tapping into my guides and how they were supporting me in my pursuits, which didnt feel as rough. Thank you, Henya. As an only child, I genuinely appreciated the community of wisdom and support that came from a more mature generation upon my arrival to the Chakra Shoppe. I was like a young adult upon stepping in, but continued work with these healers has definitely kept me grounded and optimistic for better, that I truly believe they helped mature me into the man I am today. Thank you for you all's service! read more

This is for Chicago illinois only!!! Sorry California. Disappointed beyond words. The reader asked me to Venmo her money immediately before I even sat down. As I was getting ready to Venmo her money, she was taking calls from her niece. What?? During the disruptive chaos, I accidentally sent the money to someone else's Venmo. REALLY? I went into this opportunity with the biggest heart. All it is is a money scam. It is really disappointing. read more

As soon as I walked I was greeted and asked if I ever been there before. It was actually my first time and then the woman at the counter began telling me where I can find what around the store, the classes they offer and etc. She also mentioned another woman does Tarot readings here at the shop. I looked around and found a couple things - I was ready to head out but went ahead & got a tarot reading done 'cause what not? It was my first time and it truly felt like home there. I was comfortable and ready. The reading was amazing and she truly tapped into my energy. She answered any questions I had and was very clear on the process! I will definitely be back and I will recommend these wonderful women to everyone I come across. Thank you guys so much!!!!!! read more

Great place for spiritual stuffs and crystals cure was also very friendly liked the essence and experience jere

Had my chakras cleared today. What an amazing session/feeling. So grateful for finding this place. Picked up a couple of things as well with some help by Althea. Suffering or struggling with anything? Take some time out for yourself. You deserve it. read more

Love this place. Blanche is amazing. I've been going to her for years as well as sending my friends who all have had an amazing experience as well. She compliments her talents in Chakra clearing with a customized line of chakra oils and sprays. read more

I was visiting Chicago from New Orleans. I've always had an interest in chakra cleansing and energy healing's. I don't do it myself so I'm fascinated by people who have the gift. Henia was amazing. I don't know how she did it but when She finished I felt lighter happier which set my mood for the entire vacation. read more

I saw Blanche for a chakra balancing a few weeks ago and can't recommend her enthusiastically enough! This reading can change your life if you go into it with a clear understanding of what to expect. Judging by the handful of negative reviews here, it seems some of the disappointments stem from the reviewers' confusion rather than any error on Blanche's part. What you should know: Because balancing your energy centers entails more than "helping [you] feel positive energy," Blanche will not simply tell you what you want to hear. Rather, she will consult your guides to help you unlock your deepest truths, clear blockages, and eliminate illusions. My session with Blanche sharpened my intuition, clarified my goals, and boosted my confidence in my own abilities. Blanche's work has had such a profound impact on all areas of my life that I don't know what I would have done without it--I have never felt so spiritually aware. I am so glad to have booked my appointment when I did. If you are in a place of transition, on the fence about making major change(s), or feeling in any way out of touch with yourself, get yourself to the Chakra Shoppe today! read more

I first stepped foot in the chakra shoppe in 2014. I had a fight with my then live in boyfriend and took a walk around the neighborhood and stumbled in. I had a reading with April Miller. She said many things that I thought were highly unlikely to come to fruition, sure enough every single thing happened and they were all negative. Let me explain, during that time I was an active alcoholic, drug addict and headed for a path of self destruction. After that first reading I went back to April. Our readings became less about prediction, though she still did that, and more about how to change. Six years later I'm almost five years sober, a certified reiki master and going back to school for social work. April helped assist me in positive change. I still see her to this day. read more

I first saw Blanche 20 years ago. I had been suffering with daily back pain and injuries from slipping on the ice. I had fractured my tail bone. Very painful. After a session with Blanche, I felt amazing! I went back for repeat xrays and there was no evidence of the fracture! Truly unbelievable! Over the years, I have gone back to Blanche for her assistance with both mental and physical health issues. I've never been disappointed. I've had life changing breakthroughs in just 60 minutes! Blanche is a lovely, powerful, gifted woman that generously helps others through her work every day. Do not hesitate to book a session with her, it may just change your life! read more

Update on April's tarot reading. Another thing she told me ( which was going to be a positive experience if it came true) was not true..

Amazing place for affordable spirituality things. However!!!! The staff were not wearing masks and only wore face shields, this was very disappointing. I think that safety needs to be a priority and that did not make me feel safe. Other wise amazing store and great environment. read more

I haven't spent too much time at the Chakra Shoppe, but I do prefer stopping by this tiny Lincoln Ave shop as opposed to other energy focused stores in the area. The energy overall seems significantly lighter than other stores of this type, which makes it so welcoming and enjoyable with every visit. I also really enjoy the staff at this shop; they're very helpful and not condescending at all when you have a question about their products. They've been my go-to shop for crystals since I discovered them last year. The Chakra Shoppe is what it says it is - it's a shop with chakra focused products and services, and not too much else. The staff offer chakra balancing and tarot reading, as well as various workshops, but if you're looking for a more expansive array of items outside of tarot cards, books and crystals, I'd recommend somewhere else like Alchemy Arts. read more

I wish I could remember the name of the lady I got a tarot card reading from but I can't. This was a very unpleasant experience, she didn't have much insight into my life, it all seemed very general. I have had another reading and the psychic knew many things about me without me having to ask questions. This lady did not, it was a waste of money. I feel like she was watching the clock the entire time waiting until I handed her the cash. Don't waste your time. read more

Very small shop offering different types of classes, readings, chakra healing, etc. In addition, they sell crystals, stones, meditation CDs, books, aromatherapy items (sprays, oils, candles, etc.), different type of smudging items, jewelry. For a smaller store, they have a nice little variety of stuff. The owner was nice, she introduced herself and offered to help, if we needed it. I was there with my son and we looked around a bit - we were the only two in there and we felt a little uncomfortable. Maybe if they had some music playing it would have felt a little better, the silence was making it feel weird in there. Normally I can spend hours - even in little shops. I just picked a few items and left quickly. Nothing heebie-jeebie - just an uncomfortable silence. If I ever run out of my current stash of sage and I can't get any anywhere else, I would come back here. But they really should consider playing some background music, or getting a water fountain or something - I'm all for a quiet setting, but sometimes, it feels creepy. read more

Very cool small store that focuses on chakra healing, but also offers reiki, tarot card reading, past-life readings, Yuen energy method healing, along with a variety of classes. Past classes have included Commanding Wealth, lessons from the Abraham books Ask and It Is Given, healing for the various chakras (could be 4th chakra, for instance), using the pendulum, tarot card reading, spiritual writers, and more. The space has a real nice energy. It is small, and kind of by itself on a wasteland of empty storefronts along North Lincoln Avenue. Along with the classes, they sell a variety of crystals and jewelry, cards, some books, chakra healing tools, a variety of stones, divination tools, some artwork, and more. Blanche Blacke is the owner of this space. She does amazing work with her chakra healing sessions. I've seen her a few times with this, and the things she has helped me with is really amazing. It's like peeling away the layers of an onion. I highly recommend a session with her. If you get on their mailing list, you will get a twice-monthly update on classes and events, along with a message from Blanche. They have Healing Spirit Fairs there a few times each year, in which you can sample various readings/healings for anywhere from 10 minutes to half an hour. It's a nice way to get acquainted with the services they offer. They're typically closed Sunday and Monday. During the Healing Spirit Fairs, they're open on Sunday, but that's apparently the only time. Highly, highly recommend you stop in, visit, talk to Blanche, and hear about it all. Chakra analysis and healing may not be the first thing that comes to mind when you are dealing with an issue, but believe me, it works a lot quicker, and is a lot cheaper, than therapy. You can usually find parking on a side street without paying Mayor Daley's parking extortion rates on Lincoln Avenue. Since so many long-time Chicagoans like me do just about anything to avoid paying for parking, there are always spaces available on Lincoln Avenue. read more

I went for a chakra healing because I had many bad health symptoms and it turned out that Blanche Blacke is an angel on earth! She found out that I had mold poisoning and safed my life. Besides the face that it was the most wonderful experience for my first time I left feeling inspired, lighter and much healthier. I would Blanche to everyone!! She is the best healer around, will go back for a tune up soon!! Thank you!! So blessed I found you. Anna read more

i had a great reading with henyia over a year ago and found much peace and comfort from her words. a year later and i am still noticing more truth in what she shared with me. this spot is a great place filled with kind and healing souls. read more

As my first experience with tarot or readings/healings I'm glad I chose Chakra Shoppe as my first place. Blanche is an extremely warm and intuitive individual and immediately made me feel comfortable and welcome. I went through a past-life regression with her and it was a truly incredible experience. I've never felt energy run through my body quite like that before. I'd love to go back and try a different sort of reading, not sure which but I would definitely go again. I had April read my tarot and do some numerology work with me and she also is incredibly warm and welcoming. I felt like she was absolutely right on with some of the things she told me about my life and also forecasted. We'll see, I hope she was right about all of it but we'll find out in the next six months! read more

I really enjoyed my visit here. I have walked by this place a hundred times, and never thought to go in, but after talking to my friend who is into reiki, I decided to explore it. I purchased some rocks, or crystals... For the types of energy I wanted to mend. Blanche was helpful to make suggestions. I had some chakra tea, which was wonderful. The energy in the place was calming, positive, and welcoming, I ended up having a tarot reading with April. She was nice. I am not really into tarot, but it was interesting. She gave me a 6 month reading ... It seemed off to what is going on in my life, but we'll see. I didn't have many questions for her. Most of my search was to remove negative energies I'm facing in my professional life, but nonetheless, I enjoyed my reading. After leaving, I felt relaxed and positive ( where usually I am anxious and tense) and for that I will go back. read more

I did some tarot readings with the ladies here. And had my first chakra balance with Blanche recently. I didn't know what I should expect from chakra balance, since it was my first time. However it turned out great! I felt really safe when Blanche doing chakra balance on me. And I felt comfortable to tell her whatever came to my mind during the session. It's an amazing experience. I can't wait to do it again! I was very surprised by how open I was to tell Blanche my stories, and even some of stories I never told anyone. I don't know how she did it to open my heart so much. Maybe because the chakra was open? Anyway It was a special and spiritual experience for me. I am in a stressful stage of my life right now. And now I have the chakra shoppe. I have faith that with their help I can definitely go through the troubles I am having and everything will turn out great! :D Stay positive always! read more

I have attended a workshop and had a session with Blanche and I cannot say enough good things about her and this place. Blanche is beyond welcoming and gives off a very warm and gentle vibe. During my session she was able to help and guide me in a time of need and for that I am eternally grateful. She told me things about myself that she had absolutely no way of knowing. She's truly gifted. Additionally, she is kind, wise and non-judgmental and I would recommend her services a million times over. I have purchased several things from her store and loved them all. My favorite is the chakra sprays she offers. read more

I just visited April for a Tarot reading at the Chakra Shoppe for my second time -- the first was 4 years ago when I was going through another major life change. April is wonderful. She makes you feel comfortable, she is confident but warm-hearted, and is truly gentle and sensitive to your needs. It is clear that she has been doing Tarot readings for a very long time and she can read them without needing to look up each card's meaning... no wasting time, she gets right to the heart of the matter in an instant and has helped me twice now to determine in which direction I should take my life. Thank you, April. read more

I stumbled upon this store through Yelp, so my boyfriend and I went to check it out. He was looking for a new pendulum and some stone spheres for a project, and the woman at the counter (who I am assuming to be the owner) was extremely helpful in his quest, and also full of useful information. I noticed that there were plenty of group opportunities to meet and learn held within the store, and we also signed up for the weekly newsletter to learn more about the events being held there. read more

I can not say enough good things about Blanche I went twice for chakra healing and would def go again. She is so knowledgeable and after the session you feel great and get a great insight about your life read more

A friend introduced me to this cool store, which fosters enhancing areas of the mind and body. I met the owner, Blanche Blacke, who strikes me as very serene and peaceful person. She is also very knowledgeable on many areas on chakra analysis and healing, and if you have never done one and are open to it...you will be amazed by its benefits. The shoppe also offers a wide variety of books on personal enhancement topics, from feng shui to chakra healing. Further, they also have sprays, bath salts and candles that supplement chakra nourishment. Aside from chakra analysis and healing, they also do tarot readings as well too. One of the coolest little shops I know in Chicago! read more

So I've been coming here off and on since 2015 and it's only when the spirit leads me to come. Yesterday I got a itch to come in and as usual something amazing happened. I was really down and my mom kept telling me to get a tarot read from Joe. And let me tell you best decision that I (well my mom) could have made. I really appreciated that he didn't rush and took the time out to let me vent. He was very attentive and the messages that I received from the cards were spot on. And to make things even better everything that he told me literally happened today. I'm so grateful that God lead me to come in and meet Joe to receive the best message ever. read more
