There's nothing else like this anywhere near here, and what is within driving distance can't compare. I met Melissa years ago while she was set up at a farmers market and was delighted and totally surprised to find out that she had a shop in my small neighborhood. Oaklandon is quaint and cozy but not really known for the excellent small businesses we've gained in the past few years. It helps to have a shop like this in our little neck of the woods, but that's not the only reason I'm now a die-hard of Essential Wellbeings! I love to visit, even if just for the excellent vibes. The shop is thoughtfully curated with a huge selection of harder to find crystals, literature, magical tools, and of course, aromatherapy (Melissa's specialty). Melissa is an expert in so many things. Her down-to-earth energy is so refreshing! She's super well-read and knowledgeable but the humility in the way she shares what she's learned is the real gem. It can be kind of hard to find people who are experts in this area to begin with, but then to find someone who's not pretentious about it is a gift. I took the chakra balancing course and had an amazing experience learning so much! The first product I fell in love with was the chakra oil mists. Shortly after finding Essential Wellbeings, I had a pretty difficult conflict in my life and Melissa welcomed me into her space to relax and chat without expecting anything in return. I'm so grateful to have stumbled upon this gem that was right beneath my nose

I've yet to stop into this business but I've come across them at a variety of holistic-minded and…read morelocal events around Indy: Yelp Bazaar, Indy VegFest, Binford Farmers Markets. First off: the branding is awesome. It's visually appealing and makes you want to stop and check out their stuff. That's an accomplishment in itself. Secondly, the owner is very helpful, knowledgeable, and passionate about her products and services. It truly is a one-stop-shop for all things needed for spiritual cleansing, health and beauty, aromatherapy, and more. They have essential oil blends, chakra balancing classes with essential oils (can't wait to try this out soon!), health/wellness concoctions, crystals and stones, smudging equipment, skin care, pet care, and the list goes on. Definitely check this place out if you're looking for anything holistically healing and more for yourself, friends/family, pets, the home, and more. You won't be disappointed!

If you're wondering where to get a cauldron for your next batch of spells, this is the place…read more All jokes aside, The Playful Soul is wonderful, and I can't believe I just discovered it recently. Yes, they do actually have little cauldrons available for purchase, but they also have lots of crystals and gems, books on yoga and wellness, incense and holders, oils, jewelry, clothing, smudge sticks, tote bags, a few foods and beverages and lots more. The retail store is small but they carry a lot of goods made by local craftspeople and purveyors. You can tell that every single item on display has been carefully considered and lovingly chosen. The place smells heavenly, the lighting is lovely, and the air is peaceful in here. It's a nice place. I want to come back and attend one of the yoga classes that they offer each week. They also offer meditation classes, sound baths, reiki and other services.

This is an interesting shop to check out while visiting Irvington.

I'm not a religious person and don't believe in spells and potions and that sort of thing, but I do have respect for other individual's beliefs. So wandering into here was something new to me. They have lots of books and hundreds of herbs, they have incense and candles, lots of plants in the front window (not sure if those are for sale), and a room in the back for reading and classes. They have bumper stickers with spiritual comments, sometimes humorous. Basically, there are a lot of items to browse through that aren't like what you find in other places. Apparently there are 50 artisans who provide their wares to the shop. Review #1990

I'm a longtime fan of New Age People, though the first thing to note is that this location has now…read morechanged its name to Inner Path. If you're familiar with the business, you already know the same team is behind southside Indy's Inner Path and this has now become Inner Path's north location. As was true in 2016 when I did my original review, I'm simply not on this side of town that often and don't get here as much as I used to. However, a couple years ago I did complete Reiki training here and am now a Reiki Master. Billed as the largest spiritual store of its kind in Indiana, this is located in a rather lengthy strip center that includes Celtic Cross, Original Pancake House, Oakley's Bistro, and Puccini's among other retailers. It's always been a positive energy place for me and it's where I've gone to renew my energy or pick up items that will support my healing. As I recently started chemo treatments for bladder cancer, I decided I would explore some natural healing options here. I think the name Inner Path actually better describes this place than New Age People. While New Age is certainly a major aspect of what you'll find here, it's really about the inner path and you'll find a wide variety of spiritual paths represented. It's a store that emphasizes the wide diversity of spiritual journeys and does, in fact, carry a pretty wide ranging collection of books, music, clothing, jewelry and other materials from spiritual paths ranging from traditional New Age to Buddhism to Christianity, with a special emphasis on the more progressive and mystical side, to Native American spirituality and a whole lot more. While you're not going to find Crowder Band in here, you will find a wide assortment of music with a strong emphasis on more meditative and instrumental music. I would acknowledge what several folks have noted in their reviews - Things here can be a tad pricey and, yeah, it seems to have grown since their move out of their original Broad Ripple roots (in the building that houses the Vogue) to their current location. Can you get reasonably priced items? Absolutely. However, for most of their artisan-created items you're going to put out some dough - this includes jewelry, home interiors, musical items, art and more. Do I think it's unreasonable? Nope. While I may not shop in these areas often, the market largely supports their pricing point and, unlike some places, you are actually getting quality products. There are also a variety of extras offered including massage, a variety of classes within the realm of spirituality, psychic services, and other special events. They have regular psychic fairs where you can try out the whole psychic scene if you're new to it and wondering about it. They had one going on this weekend when I visited, though I did not go that direction as I was very specifically exploring healing tools. I did break down and buy a "Mean People Suck" bumper sticker. I've always been a fan of their incredibly wide selection of candles and incense. You can get incense across a variety of price points - easily affordable and comparable to any other place that sells incense or candles. I'm not talking your generic mass quantity incense, but actual Indian-made incense or items made in other Asian countries where they actually understand producing incense for spiritual/meditation purposes (there is a difference!). On Today's visit, they were packed. Yet, it still felt very peaceful and energizing. Employees here are friendly without exception (I've seriously never had a bad customer service experience here). When I published my very first book, they were one of the first places to actually carry it despite the book being a tad edgier than their usual material. They truly supported it and I've seen them treat others that way as well. The store is in a strip center that has multiple curb cuts, accessible parking spaces and easy wheelchair access. On this visit, things were a bit tighter than usual in terms of access (thus sticking with a 4-star rating rather than going up). There were a couple aisles I couldn't access and a couple more where I had to wait for people to move. This is made better by the super friendly employees, however, access was definitely a notch below the usual this time around. You can also get some teas and snacks in a snack area here (nothing major) and you can definitely linger. Every time I come here I wonder why I don't come more often. The same was true today. The name may have changed, but this is still one of Indy's true gems.
