Crazy Wisdom is good for your health

Are you feeling stressed out? Is the pressure of a new school year already making tense? Is your boss getting on your last nerve? Are you upset about how poorly the UofM football team is doing? Don't let the stress get to you, stop by Crazy Wisdom and let all your worries just melt away!
As a new student at UofM I was feeling particularly frazzled last week. I was rushing from class to class, inhaling a candy bar during study breaks instead of eating a good meal, and losing sleep with worries about all the reading I had to do. I was very irritable and for the first time ever I was not looking forward to working my shift at the bookstore. That all changed as soon as I stepped foot into Crazy Wisdom. My co-worker chatted with me about how my week had been and once I vented all my frustration about the past few days I felt much better. Within just a few minutes I felt like I could breath again. I soaked in the atmosphere, the soothing music of Amrit Kirtan and the subtle aroma of incense and candles that permeates the store. It's not just my co-workers that make Crazy Wisdom so special, it's also the customers. Over the course of the night I remembered why I love working at the bookstore so much. I talked with people about subjects ranging from Reiki to musician Beth Orton to the benefits of Aura Soma. By the end of my shift I felt completely relaxed and I slept soundly that night for the first time in two weeks.
You don't need to be an employee of Crazy Wisdom to reap the benefits of it's relaxing atmosphere. If you're feeling a bit frazzled just visit the store, have some tea, browse through the books, pick up your favorite stress-busting incense and chat with me at the front counter.
I speak from experience when I say, "you'll thank yourself for it later."
