 Walking into a business one rarely experiences a peaceful harmony and pleasant atmosphere. That’s exactly the feeling that keeps customers of Home & Soul in El Cajon returning again and again. Perhaps some of this is attributed to the statue called Qigoug – which is the Chinese philosophy and practice of aligning breath, physical activity and awareness for mental, spiritual and corporeal health, as well as the development of human potential.
“It’s like no other store I’ve found,” said Christina Foster, a returning customer of 10 years. “I love the spiritual products and that there are some for all religions. I’m also hooked on the massages and psychic readings.”
Theresa Favro has owned the building her store occupies for 10 years. Before Home & Soul she owned a candle shop and ladies resell shop. “Our inventory is very eclectic” she said. “We have a lot of some things like crystals, rocks, incense and teas. But we also carry other gift items and unique one-of-a-kind type things.
Lovely jewelry hangs from several spots around the large room. Crystal balls and ornate stones the size of bowling balls impress with their subtle uniqueness. Wall hangings make substantial statements perfect for home or office.  There are greeting cards, tunics, and everything from stone crosses to unique metal ornaments. Occasionally there’s a sidewalk special and once a month Home & Soul has an open house with different specials featured. The next open house is July 16.
“There’s a reason myself and others wonder in here,” said Joyce Eccher.
There’s gentleness about Favro that resonates right along side her business aplomb that’s evident by her long existence on Main Street in El Cajon. To offer complete physical and spiritual wellness, Favro rents out rooms for other business-related services.
