Well, Christmas if quickly approaching and I have found a wonderful little gift that you can easily make out of ingredients that you would probably have at home, a Christmas pomander.
Pomanders are traditionally made with oranges but I have tried it with a lemon, simply make tiny holes accross the fruit and insert either fresh cloves or cardomon pods. Then tie a ribbon around it and leave it hanging in your home to release the beautiful Christmas fragrance.
These are wonderful to make for your home or to give as gifts to others.
On behalf of all of us at The New Age Shop, have a wonderful Christmas and a very happy new year!

Have you ever noticed that when you are feeling low, down or miserable your colour choice of clothes is usually black or dark? It is believed that subconsciously we choose colours that reflect our feelings and energy.
Colours vibrate at different frequencies and are able to enhance your energies and feelings, so next time you are feeling negative try to subtly change it by wearing a vaguely different colour. Or does your intuition already direct you to colours that will help you through the day?
If you are feeling a bit gloomy one day and feel you have no other option but black to wear, how about wearing some brightly coloured undies? How about some green knickers to bring you a feeling of peace and balance?!
Try looking at people and the colours they are wearing and see if the colours they are wearing represent the mood you sense they are experiencing by looking at the definitions of the colours below.

Hello and welcome to our brand new site, as this is our very first blog, it will be just a quick welcome and introduction to myself and our company. My name is Tania David and I shall be writing the blogs and information for the new age knowledge section. I shall give you some brief information about myself, I am a trained complementary therapist, I am qualified in Swedish massage, aromatherapy, reflexology, reiki 1 & 2, hopi ear candling and crystal therapy.
I have a passion for complementary therapies, alternative living and protecting the environment, although I am passionate for these things, I like to hear proof, I am fascinated by the science behind some of these “new age” topics, I intend to provide you with some interesting and helpful information regarding these topics, among others!
I find the term “new age” very interesting. Objects, traditions and beliefs that fall under the “new age” umbrella have been around for centuries; the earliest documented time that the term “new age” was referred to was in 1809 by William Blake who was a painter, poet and printmaker, he expressed a mystical edge to his creative work which made him individual in his time.
Although I would love to continue, I will keep it quick and simple! If you would like to contribute to our blogs, we welcome it, all entries are monitored so nothing offensive is displayed on our site, so if you have anything that is interesting and related to new age, holistics, alternative living and so on, please do so!
Stay tuned for our new blog updates!
Thanks for reading,
Tania
