Review from Sarah C.
2/11/2012 1 Check-in Here
I was drawn in by their intriguing name, and am I ever happy that I was!
These guys have got it going on! There is a plethora of books, crystals, insence...even clothing, energy-balancing grids, wall hangings...there is just so much great stuff in here!
I was especially happy to find books by my gf's favourite author, so yay, I was able to buy her a nice present!
The guys who work here are especially helpful, more than I've experienced at similar stores in other cities! There is just a great vibe here, and a fun place to explore one's spiritual self! -

AVOID THIS STORE AT ALL COSTS - STAFF WAS RUDE AND THEY TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THEIR CUSTOMERS! I HAVE BEEN SUPPORTING THEM FOR OVER 7 YEARS AND WILL NEVER GO BACK AFTER TODAY'S EXPERIENCE.
I was in the store today and have been supporting 9th Chakra for years - even back when the store was located on Lincoln Road.
Today I was standing at the counter and paying for a bracelet that I was purchasing for my sister-in-law who just had a miscarriage, hoping to bring some love, light and encouragement into her life. I was chatting with the man behind the counter and reached into my purse to grab my wallet to pay when I an item fell off the counter and onto the floor. It was a ceramic heart that was apparently valued at $18. I did not touch this item, I wasn't holding it - I didn't even see it. I did not hit it or touch it, however, the salesman insisted that it was my responsibility and that I had to pay for the item, even though I was not touching or interacting with it at all at the time. I told him that I refused to pay for it because I wasn't even touching the item and he refused to let me leave the store. I asked to speak to a manager and he said that the only way he could communicate with his manager was via email (and I know that was a lie, like he doesn't have his manager's phone number) and that I would have to wait for the manager to email him back before I could leave. I was already late to go see my father who fell today and broke his hip and was in the ER, so waiting was not an option. I told him that I would never come into the store again and that I felt that was he was doing was completely wrong. I would understand if I was holding the item and looking at it and dropped it but, again, I wasn't touching, looking at or interacting with the item in ANY WAY.
9th Chakra supposedly functions off good deeds, karma and understanding. My experience in the store today represented nothing but pure NEGATIVITY and it seemed like I was being used to make nothing but a quick buck.
It's not my responsibility to watch out for their overly-cluttered counter-tops at the cashier if I'm reaching into my purse to PAY for an item. I will NEVER return to the store and vowed to make sure to spread the word so that no one else is taken advantage of the way that I was. -

Really like the new location. Larger than their previous location. From the moment you walk in you are instantly in another dimension, incense fills the air, soft music playing and the entire vibe is peaceful and spiritual. The merchandising is fresh, enticing, artistic with a nice selection of products. My only issue are their prices on merchandise. They are higher than anywhere else.
What I do like are the aura photography, tarot reading's etc....Now their prices for practitioners are typical and some less than other places. This store is great for picking up gifts for yourself or others. Some of their merchandise is unique and hard to find, but it does come with a steep price.
Awesome selection of tarot cards, incense, singing bowls, jewelry, and more.
Browse through the store, from motivational spiritual books, to some very cool mediation CD's, they have a nice selection. Friendly service, uplifting decor to embrace positive thoughts and energy. Looking forward to going back as I saw some interesting items. -

Its been around for years and just recently changed locations from the center of Lincoln Road to the center of Alton Road. I've always enjoyed walking into this store, regardless of its touristy trap feel. The incense is always burning and soft spa music is always playing. From candles, to books to mandalas and everything in between, you'll find some sort of esoteric object. I mostly go for the incense, even though I can get it on the internet for half the price, its just part of the window shopping experience on Lincoln Road. You will be greeted by a very large brass Buddha at the very entrance of the door. I don't care who you are but the image of such a calm and serene deity always puts me at ease (even if its just for show).
