New Vibrations is the result of one woman's unique vision. Back in 2003, Karen Parker started searching for a locally-owned shop offering books and gifts designed to help people identify and travel their own unique spiritual path. When she couldn't find one, she felt led to open one herself ... and New Vibrations was the result.
If you had a chance to come by you might have been affected by the energy of the store, the way it smelled, the relaxing music, the space to stop, sit down and read a book or go through the magazines in the back room. It was sanctuary in a hectic world, but you don't need to look elsewhere. You can do this for yourself. Find a small space in your home to light a stick of incense, sit on a pillow or a comfortable chair, turn on some soothing music, turn down the lights and have a few minutes for yourself. Go outside, sit under a tree and listen to the birds sing. Your family can wait, the TV can wait, the laundry can wait, the phone can wait for just 5 minutes. Believe it or not, your mind doesn’t have to think of anything. Read Rumi or imagine floating on the waves of the music. You can remember how peaceful you found that little purple store. Go back to that memory, that scent. Claim this little space of time for yourself a few times a week. Strive to keep your vibration high. Let go of negative, self-defeating thoughts. Listen to your own Spirit deep inside you. It will always love you and be truthful to you. Reclaim your spirit. Reclaim yourself.
In a hectic and often troubled world, New Vibrations was a calm oasis where you could reconnect with Spirit and chart your own journey toward wholeness and spiritual renewal. You can't stop by any longer, after four and a half years the store has closed. However, Karen continues her mission to pull the metaphysically-minded together by maintaining an active website and newsletter. Stay tuned. You never know what she'll come up with next!
