Some New Age Gifts
The New Age movement is a term used to label the movement of the late twentieth century and contemporary culture. This movement is exemplified by an eclectic and individual methodology to spiritual exploration. The New Age movement is sometimes called self-spirituality, new spirituality, and mind-body-spirit. New age is also used to refer to individuals who implant new beliefs to a typical religious affiliation.
The introduction, practice, and the popularity of the movement inspired manufacturers to produce merchandise associated with the New Age. Such merchandise has so much mystique and beauty in them that they became perfect gifts.
There are a lot of New Age gifts that you can purchase and give.
A New Age gift that is surely appreciated by everybody (you can't go wrong with this) is a book. New Age books usually touch on the subject of spirituality and angels. They also discuss on positive energies of healing, inspiration, and relaxation. Books that deal with crystals, tarot, and yoga are very much appreciated by your friends.
Another New Age gift that everyone would love are CDs and tapes that contain New Age music. New Age music is calm, pleasant, and soothing. Ethereal melodies, natural sounds, hypnotic rhythm, and soft acoustic tones can truly relax the mind and body and uplifts the spirit. New Age music is the perfect accompaniment if you are having a massage or if you are practicing yoga in your own home.
Gemstone carvings are also great New Age gifts for friends. They are small gemstones that are carved, filed, and polished into nice little shapes. These carvings include animals, angels, figurines, Buddhas, and other shapes. The gemstones themselves can be aventurine, rose, quartz, carnelian, lapis lazuli, jade, or jasper. New Age believers said that these gemstones contain positive energy that can heal and inspire. Traditionally, gemstones also bring wealth, prosperity, and happiness.
Another nice New Age gifts for friends and loved ones are figurines. There are a lot of figurines available such as animals and angels. Some the best ones are highly detailed guardian dragons. The dragons are beautifully handcrafted. Usually, they are made of lead that is silver plated. Each dragon is then fixed in a beautiful stand and adorned with crystals. Sometimes a rare or semi-precious gemstone is placed as a centerpiece with the dragon watching over it. Guardian dragon figurines are great for those who love fantasy.
Of course, a set of New Age jewelry is a great New Age gift for a New Age friend. One of the most unique kinds of jewelry is amber, the dried sap of a tree. Amber is warm and beautiful. It can be worn as a talisman for good luck and protection.
New Age gifts such as these could be bought in specialty stores or through the internet.
