THE BASEMENT workshop room of a New Age bookstore, Mystical Openings, was once a hub of activity for channeling workshops and crystal healing classes. In its peak in 1985, it was booked with three events a day. But for the last twenty years, it has fallen into a state of neglect, as old prosperity workbooks piled up in the corners, and the many entities that once filled the room with aliveness and guidance fled to other dimensions.<\/p>\n

Then one night last October, that wood-paneled room was again flooded with frankincense smoke as healers, teachers, spiritual practitioners and magical powerbrokers of Baby Boomer generation finally claimed their power and decided that Barack Obama would indeed be the next president of the United States.<\/p>\n

\u0432\u0402\u045aWe did it,\u0432\u0402\u045c said Virginia Moon Hawk Woman, who was at the meeting. \u0432\u0402\u045aI felt the energy shift right then.\u0432\u0402\u045c<\/p>\n

It\u0432\u0402\u2122s also been good for business.<\/p>\n

The Obama administration, preaching global unity and \u0432\u0402\u045areaching across the table\u0432\u0402\u045c to political opponents, has stirred a revitalization of New Age concepts and ideals.<\/p>\n

\u0432\u0402\u045aObama is talking about healing the nation,\u0432\u0402\u045c she said. \u0432\u0402\u045aHe got that language from us. Healing. You see?\u0432\u0402\u045c<\/p>\n

Maryann Stiler, the owner of Mystical Openings, attributed the rise in sales to Obama supporters. \u0432\u0402\u045aOh, yeah, it, like, definitely<\/em> has to do with Obama,\u0432\u0402\u045c Stiler told me in a recent interview. \u0432\u0402\u045aDid you see his last press conference? He was totally channeled, you could see from how calm he was that his chakras were all balanced. People feel the waves coming right out from their screens into their hearts, and they want to be like that. Our Deepak Chopra books are flying off the shelves. Barack Obama saved my business!\u0432\u0402\u045c<\/p>\n

Stiler is currently expanding her Obamarama line of crystals, healing books and prayer candles. \u0432\u0402\u045aAnything with his name on it, people can just sense the positive energy,\u0432\u0402\u045c she explains as I sniff the \u0432\u0402\u045aembrace the change\u0432\u0402\u045c scented candle she makes in the back.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, people have stopped going to the church right up the road. Just three people showed up for Sunday services that week\u0432\u0402\u00a6the newly elected town judge plans to be sworn in on a copy of A Course in Miracles.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
