NOW HEAL THIS If you’re down in the dumps, take your spirit in for a tune-up at the Chakra Shoppe. The brightly painted walls mirror owner and healer Blanche Blacke’s personality—warm, colorful and a little eccentric. Using her ability to translate energy vibrations from the seven chakras (“wheels” that, in Indian yogic practice, hold the essence of one’s spiritual energy), Blacke can reverse the “energy component” of a physical or emotional problem. Pinpointing issues ranging from broken trust to broken hearts, Blacke cleanses the soul in a single Intuitive Guidance session ($25 for 15 minutes) using aromatherapy and chanting. “I always say, ‘When the shit hits the fan, call me,’?” Blacke says. “We can just clean it up and get back on track.” Or try it yourself with her locally made salts, oils and sprays. We like the super-strong Aura Clear bath salt ($13) for deep healing. Don’t you feel better already? 5034 N Lincoln Ave between Argyle St and Winnemac Ave (773-271-3054, chakrashoppe.com).—Rachel Skybetter
