Marcus Feighery has noticed an interesting side effect of Covid-19: an influx of spiritual seekers at his metaphysical shop, Synchronicity. While the 15-year-old shop is well known for its psychic readings, as well as for having one of the largest crystal selections in the Hudson Valley, Feighery says he’s seen a significant increase in customers looking for spiritual direction, healing and guidance since the pandemic began.

“People are realizing how fragile life is,” he says. “Now more than ever, they’re searching for inner peace and hope. They are awakening spiritually and are searching for answers, seeking a deeper understanding of life.”

Psychic medium Dominique, who provides readings at the shop, says she’s received spiritual messages since she was a girl. She’s been offering healing, guidance and support to an ever-growing clientele.  

“Since the pandemic, many people want clarity and insight into what the future holds, especially regarding work and finances,” she says. “Others would like to receive messages from loved ones who have passed on. Connecting with spirit brings a sense of peace, which people are now desperately seeking.”

Synchronicity carries a large selection of spiritual tools, including crystals, books, candles, sage, incense and oils. It also offers these items online at SynchronicityNY.com.
