My very first breathwork session and I am OBSESSED!…read more I attended Jamie's breathwork session on the beach and appreciated all of the time and thought she invested into creating such a beautiful space for us. Yoga mats were perfectly laid out, all in calming pastel colors, with gold balloons that spelled out "BREATHE." Jamie passes out "Grateful" cards that we fill out after the session, long stem roses, and bracelets with a statement "Breathe. You are a Gift." The breathwork requires you to concentrate, may inspire you to feel different emotions, and is such a EUPHORIC experience! Jamie is TRULY GIFTED and Im looking forward to booking a candelight session soon!!!

So glad that I met her, and that she's here in the South Bay. Highly recommended.

Next day my body felt as if I'd had a deep tissue massage. I was so energized yet relaxed and feeling very carefree - very unlike me. I look forward to going again in a few months!

I was recommended to Sarah at Spirit Sounds by a friend who teaches yoga regularly and was completely transformed on an energetic level. I booked a private session with Sarah, who's based in Manhattan Beach. She was so accommodating about coming to my house in Silverlake--it made the experience much more personal at the outset. After our session I felt so relaxed and all the tension had melted away. I was in a constant state of zen the rest of the day. Sarah met with me at the end of the week so I felt all of the stress and anxiety I had hung on to throughout the week immediately release; I felt more joyful and grounded. I slept like a baby that night!

I found Kelvin through a FB group that I joined due to thanatophobia. It was my fear of death that…read moreled me to find him & his meditation technique. I have never studied or practiced any formal meditation technique nor have taken any classes on meditation before discovering Kelvin's Turning Within technique. This is good because I did not have any pre-conceived ideas on how meditation should be. I only knew what I heard, read about or saw in movie or on TV. This is totally unique & unlike any form of meditation that I've ever known of. This meditation, to me, is simple yet perfect. As I started practicing the technique, I started feeling a shift in my mindset. I feel myself gradually evolving from focusing on the imperfections of myself and disappointments in my life, to focusing on what really matters. I spend more time enjoying life rather than dwelling on negative thoughs. I have to remind myself that although I am experiencing profound differences in my attitude & capability in handling / managing stress, I still cannot expect never to break or to revert back to my old attitude and / or stress handling capabilities. I am still on my journey. I feel like as babies and young children, we have a clean slate, naturally know this technique, but as life happens, we forget and build up baggage and soon forget how to reconnect with ourselves, our minds ( turn within ). Before I started practicing turning within, my mind felt more scattered - starting tasks but not completing them for whatever reason. Now I find it easier to focus on one task at a time from start to finish. I feel like my mind spends less time dwelling & being indecisive & more time doing & actually accomplishing. Instead of just thinking of what I want to do or get done, I just get up & do it. Sometimes it is so profound that I feel like a totally different person. So different that I don't even recognize myself. I am evolving into a calmer yet more focused & organized person. It feels like butterfly emerging from a thick cocoon. I feel like I used to spend a lot of time worrying & complaining more than actually getting things accomplished. Now I actually feel that I have purpose. I feel like my mind is coming up with answers that I could not answer before. Instead of just saying Idk, I actually stop, take a moment, think & answers come. This comes back to the part of me that reacts ( fight or flight ). Instead of giving any answer based on how I feel emotiinally ( like exploding ) at that time, I am actually pausing and thinking of what the answer actually is & am able to communicate my feelings calmly and directly. For example, my husband makes me upset because he complains about how I leave my stufff everywhere. He'll see my jacket hung on the chair & ask me 'What is this '? Usually I would get upset immediately and say ' Why, what about it' or 'this house is not a museum. I can leave stuff where I want. blah blah,' or something mean or I just give him the silent treatment. But now I can actually give him a calm answer which comes from a calm and sound mind. Not an upset emotionally charged mind's response. Overall, I love this new me. It is just like having a new lease on life. I look forward to any more positive changes in my life and my attitude. Turning Within can literally turn your life around Thank you Kelvin !

I began going to the Torrance Zen Center over a year ago. I had always thought of Zen as something…read morefound in books, or from the past, or something a few other unusual people did in far-away places. Enlightenment seemed like an esoteric, out-of-reach goal, and not one I was necessarily interested in pursuing -- not understanding, it had always struck me as an ironically self-focused pursuit. A Zen state of mind, with balance and equanimity -- that seemed interesting. But through the people at the Torrance Zen Center I found that the Zen path is not about the mind, but very much of the heart, and all the compassion the heart is capable of. The practitioners follow the Greater Path, with the intention of helping anyone and everyone through Zen to manifest a better version of themselves. And Enlightenment? It's about helping other people. Becoming in sync with the Greatest Good, however the name given by one's language culture. While the foundational practitioners natively speak Mandarin or Cantonese, they all make a dedicated and successful effort to speak English in teaching, sharing, and casual interactions, for which I am deeply and profoundly grateful. They have graciously and continuously extended a warm, including welcome. I have occasionally felt "odd man out," but: my doing. Their generosity of heart always surges back and I relax a bit more. Shortly after beginning meditation practice, I noticed, to my surprise, that many people - some I knew and some I didn't - suddenly seemed more comfortable around me, eager to talk and share whatever was on their minds. Positive feelings and experiences began to dominate my life, all while retaining and improving family relations, growing friendships, and more easily establishing new connections with people. Life is short. Five Stars!
