1. A Moment of Zen
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 8 reviews
A Moment of Zen is not your typical "new age crystal shop," although crystals are the main focus here. Eden, the store's sole owner and operator lives and runs her business from an understanding of Universal laws and forces (Law of Attraction). This fundamental understanding of energy allows her space to be welcoming to so many seeking understanding and guidance of how "the world works," how to feel good and live your best life possible. If you seek beautiful crystals, unique gifts, or significant conversations about the products in stock, this is the place for you.

A Moment of Zen is a lovely place to visit just because of Eden's free spirited personality! She sells so many unique items and I was excited to find an aromatherapy essential oil car diffuser! I can change the fragrance of my car from lemon to orange or any other smell I want via the felt pieces I put the oils on! With my purchase, I was able to pick from an assortment of pieces of paper to receive an encouraging note for the day!

I have visited this museum numerous times, whenever I'm in the area. The exhibits change often enough for me to find something new every time. The staff is friendly and helpful. There's an exhibit on the histori Salem Oak which recently fell down, and an amazing quilt on display. Be sure to check the times that the museum is open before visiting.
