Sacred Vibes products are locally handcrafted by its owners in the Chic's Beach (Chesapeake Bay), Town Center, and Kempsville areas of Virginia Beach, VA.
We meticulously blend ingredients using our unique recipes, including essential oils, natural fragrance oils, a goat's milk or glycerin base, mica powder (a skin-safe colorant), organic jojoba, vitamin E, extra virgin olive oil, organic coconut oil, turmeric, raw honey, and natural herbs. Some soaps include exfoliants like poppy seeds, ground organic oatmeal, dried lavender seeds, and activated charcoal. Each of these elements helps to heal the skin or gently exfoliate it.
Every batch of soap is carefully handcrafted and hand-poured, with the final blocks cut into logs. Bars are blessed with positive energy and intention and thoughtfully packaged in biodegradable wrap by hand. We embrace the beauty of slight variations from batch to batch and bar to bar, celebrating the unique charm of our craft.
Our scrubs include essential and natural fragrance oils, granulated sugar, and organic carrier oils like jojoba and coconut. Skin-safe colorants like mica powder, organic turmeric powder, and the zest of citrus fruits add the colors you see. Sugar granules are rounder and less abrasive than salt, making them a gentler exfoliant. A natural source of glycolic acid (AHA), sugar breaks down layers of dead skin and smooths the skin's surface. It also speeds up rehydration, keeping skin conditioned and moisturized.
Our candles are made from a coconut soy blend wax and include natural plant-based fragrance oils for scent.
Our healing oil blends are made in-house from organic essential oils and fragrance oils derived from plant compounds. All fragrance oils are paraben—and phthalate-free. We take great care to source fair-trade oils for our skincare products.
Our salves and lip balms are made with organic beeswax, shea butter, and high-quality locally sourced herbs and oils.
We are committed to providing natural fragrances/essential oils that are high-quality, phthalate, and paraben-free.
Our products are blessed with positive energy, intention, and love from start to finish.
Since we use no preservatives or chemical stabilizers, the more important question is, "How long will the product last once it has been opened?
Once opened, skin care products are exposed to dirt and microorganisms (bacteria, yeasts, and molds) in the air and skin. How you use a product affects its lifespan as soon as you open it and begin using it.
As with all skincare products, the best results are usually achieved if used within six months of opening.
SOAP: A 5 oz bar of soap used daily in the shower should last 30 days or more. To extend the life of your soaps, we suggest storing them away from direct sunlight and out of direct water usage. Do not let your soap sit in the water. Store it in a well-drained soap dish so it can dry between uses.
SUGAR SCRUB: Products made and stored in glass jars are also sensitive to temperature changes. Our sugar scrubs do not contain additives or preservatives. The lavender lemon scrub is a great case because it contains real lemon zest and will break down naturally if not used within six months of opening, affecting its effectiveness.
As an exfoliant, a 4 oz sugar scrub should only be used 1- 2 times a week and last longer than a month.
FACE MASK: Our face mask is also sensitive to temperature changes. They do not contain additives or preservatives and should be kept from extreme temperatures. If the honey has solidified, run the jar under hot water or place it in a bowl with hot water. Mix the mixture with a spoon or the wand until it smooths.
Our 2 oz raw honey face mask should be used 1-2 times a week as an exfoliant. Those with extra dry skin can use it 2-3 times weekly. With regular use, this mask should last 2 months.
ESSENTIAL OIL BLENDS: Herbal essential oil blends last up to three months. The roller or bottle should be kept upright in a cool, dark place when not in use.
BODY BUTTER: Once opened, body butter lasts up to one year. When not in use, store in a cool place away from sunlight.
SALVES & LIP BALMS: These tins last more than a year once opened. When not in use, store away from direct sunlight or heat.
Unless otherwise stated, the shelf-life of unopened products is approximately one year. When unopened and not in use, please keep soaps, skincare, and sugar scrubs in a cool, dry place to avoid sweating and the breakdown of natural oils. As products age, the natural essential oil scent may fade.
Our soap products are crafted with the utmost care, prioritizing safety and quality.

Embarking on a spiritual awakening is an invitation to elevate your consciousness and delve into profound mental awareness. This transformative journey reshapes your perspective on the world, leading to a personal metamorphosis. The duration of an awakening varies and can last from weeks to years.
For some, this awakening unfolds in response to a pivotal life event; for others, it manifests gradually and subtly. Specific individuals may find their spiritual awakening catalyzed by near-death experiences or traumatic events, each person's awakening being a unique and individual process.
As you enter the realm of spiritual awakening, you may grapple with inner turmoil and a sense of disconnection from the world around you. Simultaneously, you'll gain an understanding of the ego as a distinct entity, recognizing a profound energy permeating the universe.
This initiation often follows a significant life event, prompting a call to introspection and self-evaluation.
The journey of spiritual awakening serves as a revelation, unveiling areas of your life that require healing. As the process unfolds, you may enter a questioning phase, confronting limiting beliefs and negative behavioral patterns. If you were on a religious path, those beliefs might be dismantled as you seek to comprehend the intricacies of the world around you.
As you go through a spiritual awakening, you may feel various symptoms from time to time. Each time, you experience a shift or up-leveling in your consciousness. Here are some signs you may experience:
Hypersensitivity & Heightened Awareness - Becoming more in tune with the environment and more empathetic toward others. Advancing on our spiritual journeys increases our sensitivity to others' energies, experiencing positive and negative vibes more intensely. Initially disorienting, this heightened sensitivity may lead to feeling overwhelmed in crowds, drained by specific individuals, or deeply connected to others. Mastering the balance of staying grounded and centered while connecting with others' energies requires practice.
Lucid Dreams are vivid dreams that signal awakening and tapping into the subconscious. Lucid dreaming, the awareness of dreaming while asleep, grants some control over dreams, enabling exploration of the subconscious and access to higher states of consciousness. This practice may involve encounters with spiritual figures, offering heightened awareness of waking life. Lucid dreaming fosters a profound understanding of the subconscious mind and provides deeper insights into the spiritual realm in a secure dream environment.
Synchronicities - These are simultaneously occurring events that appear to be related. Or you see repeat numbers like 111, 222, 333, 444, etc. Commonly known as angel numbers, these numbers convey messages from divine beings. Or you think of a friend, and they call you seemingly out of the blue.
Outer peace and calm or in the flow - Feeling a profound inner peace. The flow state, also referred to as being 'in the zone,' is an elevated mental state where a person participating in an activity is wholly immersed in a feeling of energized concentration and pleasure from the activity. People in a flow state often forget about time and are frequently able to achieve higher productivity, creativity, and performance.
Loneliness/Changes in Relationships - Having difficulty connecting with family and peers on a deeper level. Feeling as if they don't understand you may create feelings of isolation. Spiritual awakening often triggers relationship shifts, prompting us to reassess and align dynamics with our spiritual values. This process may generate a sense of disconnection from current connections, leading us to seek new, spiritually aligned relationships. While initially challenging, this shift can result in stronger connections, a sense of community, and increased self-love by removing toxic influences from our lives.
Overwhelming feelings of love - God is love. As you are experiencing an elevation in your conscious awareness, you will be in increased contact with this divine love.
Increased Creativity or Motivation- As you deepen your connection with your spiritual self, you might notice spontaneous surges of creativity or inspiration. These can materialize as unexpected ideas or insights, enhancing your problem-solving skills. You may discover an improved capacity to link seemingly unrelated concepts and devise innovative approaches to challenging issues. Such occurrences signify the awakening of your spirit and the unveiling of your true potential. Seizing these moments and exploring and nurturing your creative abilities is crucial, as they may pave the way for profound spiritual insights and understanding.
Desire to live a more meaningful life - Deepening your spiritual journey may lead you to ponder life's purpose and consider ways to maximize your time. Rather than pursuing material possessions, you might gravitate towards activities imbued with greater purpose and meaning. This could involve volunteering for a cause, assisting those in need, or exploring diverse spiritual practices. Embracing a more meaningful life can foster a profound sense of fulfillment and inner peace and give your life a clearer understanding of direction and purpose.
Spiritual awakening varies for each person, presenting in diverse forms. Though challenging, it offers a unique chance to enrich one's spiritual journey, gain insights into the self, and embrace a more fulfilling life. Recognizing the symptoms facilitates self-exploration and transformation, transforming it into a guided journey of self-discovery and a truly awakening experience.
Grounding is essential for maintaining balance, stability, and a deep connection to the present moment. It helps you to stay centered amidst life’s challenges and provides emotional and spiritual stability. By grounding, individuals can release negative energy, reduce stress, and enhance their focus and clarity. Whether through meditation, working with crystals, or engaging in nature, grounding allows for a stronger connection to oneself and the earth’s energy, promoting overall well-being and spiritual growth.
The higher self is often described as the truest, most authentic version of oneself—a spiritual or divine aspect that exists beyond the ego and the physical world. It’s considered the source of wisdom, intuition, and inner guidance, connected to the greater universal consciousness. Many spiritual traditions view the higher self as the part of us that is eternally wise, compassionate, and aligned with our soul’s purpose.
CHARACTERISTICS OF HIGHER SELF:
HOW TO CONNECT WITH YOUR HIGHER SELF:
Connecting with your Higher Self is a deeply personal journey that often unfolds over time. It’s about cultivating a relationship with the part of you that always guides you toward your highest potential.
A psychic uses intuition to tune into the energy of people or objects. They receive information about someone’s past, present, future, or all three. They might also offer guidance, inspiration, or coping strategies. The information they gather is about the person they are reading, not their loved ones in spirit.
Mediums get their information from deceased loved ones in spirit. They connect with people no longer living and deliver messages from them.
Psychic mediums provide a bridge between the physical and spiritual realms. With a unique ability to connect with energies beyond, they serve as conduits for messages from the other side. Offering empathetic and insightful sessions, they channel information and deliver guidance from departed loved ones, spirit guides, and higher energies like God, archangels, and angels.
Whether seeking closure, answers, or spiritual direction, our psychic mediums create a supportive space for profound connections and meaningful insights. Trust in the expertise of our intuitive intermediary to bring messages that resonate with your spiritual journey.
Energy healing is a holistic approach to well-being that involves manipulating and balancing the body's energy systems to promote physical, emotional, and spiritual healing. The concept is rooted in various ancient traditions that recognize the presence of a vital life force or energy that flows through the body. The belief is that disturbances or imbalances in this energy can lead to illness or discomfort.
Reiki is a specific form of energy healing that originated in Japan. The word "Reiki" is a combination of two Japanese words: "rei," meaning universal, and "ki," meaning life energy or vital force. Reiki practitioners believe in channeling this universal life energy through their hands to the recipient, promoting relaxation, stress reduction, and healing. The energy flows through specific pathways in the body, addressing areas of imbalance and supporting the body's natural ability to heal itself. Dr. Mikao Usui (1864-1926) was a Christian monk who rediscovered these Reiki principles and developed a new and improved system, training several more Reiki Masters before his death. Today, people who practice Reiki use the methods developed by Dr. Usui, the founder of Usui Reiki.
Both energy healing and Reiki share the fundamental principle that subtle energy underlies and connects all aspects of existence. Practitioners of both modalities work with this energy to restore balance and harmony within the body, mind, and spirit. While the techniques and practices may vary, the underlying philosophy revolves around addressing a person's energetic aspects, which can positively influence their overall well-being.
Quantum healing is a holistic approach to health and wellness that draws inspiration from the principles of quantum physics. This concept originated in the intersection of Eastern philosophies, Western holistic healing practices, and the fundamental principles of quantum mechanics. It suggests that healing can occur not only at the physical level but also at the quantum or energetic level. Practitioners of quantum healing may use various techniques to work with the subtle energies of the body and mind, aiming to bring about healing at a quantum or energetic level. These techniques may include meditation, visualization, energy work, and practices promoting a positive consciousness shift.
In summary, energy healing is a broad term encompassing various practices that involve working with the body's energy systems for holistic healing. Reiki, specifically, is a form of energy healing that focuses on channeling universal life energy to promote balance and well-being in the recipient. While quantum healing incorporates concepts from quantum physics, its application in health and wellness is often considered metaphysical and is not universally accepted within the scientific community.
These approaches acknowledge the interconnection of an individual's physical, emotional, and spiritual aspects and seek to restore energetic harmony. As with many alternative healing approaches, individuals should approach any healing with an open mind and consider it part of a broader spectrum of holistic practices.
BE MINDFUL OF ENERGY
Knowing how to protect your home spiritually starts with you. You can change the energy of the space solely with the power of your mind and intention. Being mindful of what you bring into your room is a powerful way to protect your home from anything that lowers your vibration.
Be selective and thoughtful about the people you invite into your home, the things you keep there, and your thoughts, as all these things impact what accumulates in your space.
Positivity attracts more positivity. Ask yourself, what do you want more of in your home? Then, set the intention to manifest that and feel the energy change.
BLESSED SEA SALT
Your priest or holy man/woman may bless any salt in any amount to make Blessed Salt. Pure salts like natural rock salt or Kosher salt may be preferred. You can use Blessed Salt to consecrate the living space your children are raised in unto God. Just as the Passover lamb was not magic blood, so should Blessed Salt not be diminished as magical salt. Instead, it shows an outward expression of one's faith and a way to invoke God's grace. Sprinkle it in doorways, entrances, under the bed, cabinets, mirrors, window sills, and corners. Please place it in a small container and put it in your bag or pocket.
BURNING SAGE OR OTHER HERBS AND SMUDGING
Burning sage has been used by healers and laypeople to resolve spiritual issues, cleanse the aura, or release negative energy. White sage is used for purification and protection. It is often seen as the go-to plant whenever someone wants to cleanse their energy or the energy in their home, and it will leave you feeling calmer and more at peace. While often considered the opposite, smudging is less about expelling bad vibes than inviting good ones into your life.
Sage is considered incredibly purifying and can clear away many toxins you breathe daily, including fumes from paint, chemicals, and cleaning supplies.
Palo Santo is a traditional medicine for pain, inflammation, and stress. It is also used to clear out negative energy. You can burn it as incense or apply it directly to your skin. This herb helps balance the root chakra, making us feel grounded and secure. It also supports the third eye and crown chakras, increasing spirituality and vision.
To protect and cleanse your space, aura, and energy, Cedar, Juniper, Rosemary, St. John's Wort, and Pine. Blending herbs, such as juniper and mugwort or rosemary and lavender, is a great way to receive multiple benefits in your cleanse.
PROTECTION PLANTS
Certain plants have an element of prote them. Just like we can burn sage plants to cleanse a space, we can also place freshly picked flowers or herbs when looking for solutions for spiritually protecting our home. Rosemary, Thyme, Basil, or Honeysuckle are excellent plants for clearing negativity. They will help eliminate negative influences and keep your sacred space safe.
ELEVATE YOUR VIBE WITH SOUND
Sound chimes, Tibetan singing bowls, triangles, and similar instruments are perfect for than your home's frequency home and protecting it from negativity. Every sound has a vibration, and when that vibration is high enough, we can use sound power to eliminate any vibration that is lower than it.
