What makes a great community? Research shows a great community offers diverse amenities, good walkability, excellent parks, and fosters social connections. Fostering social values is done through creating a sense of belonging, using effective communication between planners and residents, and being inclusive of all its residents and business owners. I think that sums up Roseville nicely, don't you? One excellent shop that has been a consistent contributor to Roseville's diversity is Everlasting Gifts. This hidden gem has existed since 2005, offering a space that fosters a diverse path for individual spirituality.
Supporting Sacred Spaces
I'm drawn to candles. Something about them makes them the first thing I search for anywhere they are sold. In a shop that specializes in supporting sacred spaces, the candle selection at Everlasting Gifts is excellent! Across various spiritual traditions, candles represent connection, faith, and light. They serve as visual and olfactory reminders that we are a small part of a picture beyond our immediate sight. Candles' colors, scents, and intensity often guide a person's energy. While I consider myself a person with a bit more than average knowledge about what makes a great candle, I learned some things from the person working at Everlasting Gifts. Having returned several times since my initial visit, I can confidently say that the people who own and run Everlasting Gifts are knowledgeable and great at explaining things in a way that feels comfortable to hear.
In addition to high-quality candles, Everlasting Gifts sells specialty oils, essential oils, resins, sage smudge, incense, and other products used to support aromatherapy. As I said before, Everlasting Gifts fosters a diverse avenue for individual spirituality. I saw a robust selection of items for our Native American community members and those who want to use Feng Shui in their surroundings. It's been a few years since I studied the guiding principles of Feng Shui, so I took time to update my knowledge of this ancient practice.
From Feng Shui to Crystals
Feng Shui is the ancient Chinese concept of creating harmony between people and their surroundings. The term Feng Shui literally means "wind water". This term first appeared in a poem by Guo Pu asserting that qi (pronounced chee and represents life's energy) can be dispersed by wind and stopped by water. Arranging objects and space to achieve maximum harmony and balance within the home creates an optimum flow of beneficial energy. While many have practiced this ancient art of feng shui, it may be new to you. At Everlasting Gifts, you can learn how to incorporate this design's elements and find what you need to get started.
Another way that Everlasting Gifts supports energy work is by offering various crystals and stones. According to the latest statistics on buying practices, a growing number of Americans have tried some form of complementary and integrative medicine. One way that's done is through the use of crystals. While many ancient cultures have practiced the use of crystals for healing, it isn't the first place many turn for physical and emotional healing in the U.S. Those who do practice this method, the belief is that crystals promote the flow of good energy, help rid the body and mind of harmful elements and therefore can change the way a person feels. Because of the variety of crystals offered at Everlasting Gifts, a person is sure to find something to help with whatever they need to address. I saw crystals that create a sense of balance and calm, boost energy, heal several types of emotional conditions, improve clarity and focus, and build stronger spiritual connections. It's interesting because just looking at various crystals creates an emotional response. Hence, I'm open to the possibility that they connect with our body's energy in the same way that looking at ocean, lake or river elicits a response.
A Beginner's Guide to Crystals
If you're curious about crystals, here's a list of the most popular ones and their use. In order of popularity, Rose quartz is sold most often and is thought to be a soothing stone used to promote love and emotional healing. Amethyst is as popular and known to naturally relieve stress, ease anxiety, and promote a peaceful night's sleep. Citrin is the crystal most often associated with joy, motivation, and creativity. While not as visually exciting as other top sellers, Black Tourmaline gives a sense of grounding. One of my favorite crystals is Selenite. Its beautiful white elements help clear mental fog and open the mind. No matter what you want to address, you can count on the people at Everlasting Gifts to help you find the right way for you.
