Near my work, really cool place. If you feel stressed out at work and u feel like you need some zen, then go in here to listen to the calm sounds of water dripping and relaxing meditating music.

Really cool and different cards, I bought a few to hang up...lots of cool books on yoga, buddhism, taoism, dali larma, etc Cute tibetan jewelry too...it's a lil expensive but good for a splurge on yourself or for a special buddhist in your life that has to have those silk slippers.

Wow! I can't believe I'm the first to review this incredible place... I stumbled here on my way to the Brookline Village T stop, and I can't wait to come back for another visit.

Upon entering, you're immediately entranced by the calming meditation music and smell of aromatherapy, while at the same time, having your senses awakened by the Eastern-influenced surroundings. From the beautiful religious statues, wall hangings, scented soy candles, essential oils, cards and stationary, New Age CDs to the books on spirituality, tarot, Buddhism, massage, feng shui, yoga, vegetarianism, natural remedies and more! They also have a mesmerizing collection of glass-encased jewelry made of semi-precious stones and a wide array of crystals.

I spent at least an hour browsing this 2 room store finding more and more things I wanted! From what I understand, they've been around for over 20 years, so they're a undeniable resource for anyone in search of a unique experience to enrich their soul.
