    Parking can be packed on days when they have ceremonies but there will be people outside directing you to additional parking. On a regular day, you can just park inside the temple. My family and I have been coming here for years. Master Chin or Cau Chin (in Vietnamese) is wonderful. He gives you advice and warnings. They are always giving out water bottles with a red yarn tied around it and bracelet as blessings. Everyone is here is friendly. Master Chin has followers from different ethnicities so you won't just see Asians. Take note that this temple isn't as big as the Temple on Synott.

    If I could give zero stars I would. I was told I had to be at the gates by 10 pm to enter and park where I would then sleep in the car to see the monk at 3am. So I drove in from Dallas on Friday, a 4 1/2 hour drive to arrive at 9:45 PM. They directed everyone to park in rows then came around with a clip board to sign us in. It is very peaceful there and lightly lit with hanging red and gold Chinese balls and winds chimes of all sorts hanging from the trees that surrounds the Center. If you are bringing children they are not permitted into the area where the reading is given, they will be seated into a separate room where the monk will give them candy. Everyone is seated into one room where are you are asked to remove your shoes before entering. They tell you to have a open mind and not to cross your legs or your arms. When the monk speaks he is speaking English and there is one of his interpreters speaking Spanish so loudly you can barely hear what he is saying in English. There are several people who he has allotted who will give the very same testimony every time you come in it will be the very same testimony. One of them told a testimony about how he was shot another will tell a testimony about losing his girlfriend and the monk helping him get the girl to come back to him. There were other testimonies told by the monk about a women with stomach Cancer who came to him then came back without cancer only to find she was pregnant. During the individual readings he told some people the very same thing he pretty much tells you that you're going to live a long life you're going to have a prosperous business maybe get a home some people new truck. Then he ask what year you were born and answers back..I knew that then he counts all the way up to 89 and then tells you that you will live a long life. All and all he tells everyone the same thing then ask what you need from him. Shouldn't he already know these things, shouldn't he already know why you are visiting. He will ask where your mom. He then asked where is your dad. This is prying to get information so that he can give you a reading. I think that he is fake. Do not waste a trip here do not waste your donation money do not waste your time bringing gifts this Monk is a FAKE.

    I was looking to schedule an appointment for Reiki with Victoria two weeks ago, short-notice, after…read moregoing through a very painful & sudden life circumstance. I was not at all surprised to find that Victoria was booked out (because she is THAT GOOD). However, the universe brought me an opportunity to connect with Simply Reiki's, massage therapist, Angelica Torres, for a Sunday morning appointment. I had never experienced a Reiki treatment with massage therapy (I added the hot stones + aromatherapy) and OMG it was surreal! It was the quiet, physical healing that I needed in that moment of sitting with utter chaos in my nervous system. What also blew my mind was Angelica's intuitive gifts. I was not expecting that, but she read me like a book before she even laid hands on me, and without me telling her one word about what I was going through. Her presence was gentle, grounded, and comforting like a soothing balm. Her energy, and her words were incredibly powerful and validating and exactly what I needed to hear that day. (Bonus she spoke to me in Spanish!) She's a true energy worker and worth every penny. I highly recommend Angelica for the massage + reiki treatments. You will be glad you did. I walked out of her office feeling 10x better than I walked in! Para los que nunca han experimentado un tratamiento de Reiki combinado con un masaje, les recomiendo agendar una cita con Angelica. Les aseguro que no se arrepentirán! Ella tiene buenas manos para el trabajo energético y ademas es intuitiva.

She suggested I come in for some of their yoga classes to help build my strength. I fell in love with a bunch of crystals & spent more than I should have once she explained the meanings behind them!! Love her & her studio! I will definitely be back!

Joni is so good at what she does. First time I went we look at my chakra's - she told me to rebook for an hour. She didn't want to do a halfway job. 3 of the longest days were spent waiting until I could come back. It was WORTH IT! She did her work and my chakra's were more open - a few were looking pretty bad. I know everyone's experience is diffrent - both times I've left feeling INCREDIBLE! Its good stuff and worth at the very least trying out. And of course I've been back since and only wished I would have started sooner. If you're looking for chakra balancing - go ahead and schedule it - you can thank me later.

We conversed about why I was there and her vibe was easy and honest: like talking to a wide friend. She checked my chakras then went to work. The overall experience was comfortable and clarifying. I left and was feeling better for days after. Often time we store energy in our bodies when stressed, triggered, or traumatized which causes blockage. I'm thankful for her healing work in releasing areas of blockage yet, getting to know me first. After our session, she gave me homework I.e. meditation, smudging, affirmations and the reasons behind them. I highly recommend Indigo lightpath and look forward to my next visit!

The reviews were all over the place & none were recent so I decided to try it & get my own opinion. I called about 8;45pm on a Friday night knowing they closed at 9. Then I texted the # apologing for the late hour & let Crystal know we could talk the next day. She was so sweet & opened up a session the next day at 2:30 for me. I loved the massage & after she did something to my back I actually smiled when the pain left my body. I didn't realize before then that I have RBF (resting B face). Not intentionally but because I'm worried about everyone in our family. My current health situation is not good and for some it's fatal. So I've been cleaning out closets, gave jewelry to my grown kids, and am currently looking for a cancer retreat center where I can heal, get some strength back, & work on my diet & exercise. I shared my situation with Crystal & she focused on removing the toxins from my body that the chemo & radiation have caused. She is a professional & very good at her craft. She suggested I come back & start some very basic intro yoga classes they offer and can work my way up at my own pace. I have rented an Airbnb in Mexico so I can afford to have a personal trainer, chef, & hopefully a driver but I plan on back to Crystal until I leave. She's wonderful, caring, & I'm so glad I decided to make my own opinion. I live & breathe with reviews & never try new places without checking Yelp first. And the rating Crystal has is unfair &!super old. Thank you Crystal for the great energy, your warm heart, & the tips on where to get some great tasting vegan food!!

    This review is based on the limited experience that I had with this "healing center". The website…read moreis outdated and doesn't give clear details on what healing services are provided nor prices. The only form of contact is via text. When I called the number given here on Yelp, I immediately received the voice message system which tell you to text. By this time I'm exhausted there is no one to answer my inquiries about the services provided - as all reiki healing practitioners are different. So reluctantly I sent a text, stating I had some questions regarding the reiki healing session and desired to speak with someone before hand. A day later I received a text that the Practitioner had received my details, meditated to see if they could help me. After meditation she was told she could not help me. That was that. The delivery of the text was polite but I was left wondering how service is rendered based on a text and meditation. Perhaps it wasn't a good fit or something else. Idk but when asked if they had any recommendations, it was no dear. Really?! Okay then. Yea no, given my experience with Reiki healing and practitioners I found this to be unprofessional process and slightly off-putting.

She's truly here to help people heal and has the purest intentions. I left her sessions feeling nothing but love for days, close to a week. I've been on a spiritual journey for about three years but she really opened my spiritual world to possibilities I never imagined. I don't believe there are many healers like her in Houston. She's the real deal and I'm grateful for what she has done for me.

Walking into the gym, I was greeted by friendly and helpful staff. They told me there were lockers with key locks available. Just give your drivers license to them, and they can loan you a temporary card to insert into the locker to use the key lock. You will get your drivers license back when you leave. The locker room was spacious, bathroom was clean, showers were available, and water fountains/water filling stations were there to quench your thirst. The gym itself was bright and spacious. It's got all the equipment needed to work out. Free weights, a leg press machine, free standing weight machines, treadmills, ellipticals, kettle bells, stability balls, medicine balls. Well, I'm sure I've forgotten something. It wasn't packed at all when I came here, which I liked. I was free to use any and all equipment for as long as I needed to. If you're really ambitious, they do offer CrossFit classes at different pricing packages. I, myself, have an aversion to CrossFit. In my opinion, it feels like cardio and weightlifting done too quickly without enough rest in between, which can have the potential to cause an injury. Overall, though, I think this gym will be a regular spot to get some serious working out done.
