    Excellent practice- zero pressure- not a cult- learn and alway's know you can attend a check…read moresession with your instructor- my instructor "Carol Travis" - Ithaca, New York- one of the most wonderful teachers of TM - very kind person. She and her husband and Mom have done it for years- great people. I cannot imagine life without this daily practice- If you are feeling a bit stressed or uneasy in today's environment- this is a great way to balance your inner mind- nobody tells you to do or think anything- it's basically thinking.... And creating a positive outlook for you! I personally listen to Bob Roth daily- meditate and absolutely feel so much better -

    What a pleasant surprise. My wife talked me into (reluctantly) taking the TM class. I was…read moreskeptical and wasn't sure there would be much value. I couldn't have been more wrong. TM has proven to be extremely effective at stress reduction and helping my nervous system get healthy. I've tried all types of breathwork (4-7-8, box breathing, etc.), acupressure, mindful meditation, etc. with inconsistent results. TM had an impact immediately, and I fully expect the impact to grow over time. I wished I'd known about this years ago. One of the most effective health practices I've found. Cindy and Barry are the perfect people to train people on TM. Extremely nice and approachable, and very knowledgeable. They demystified TM and taught proper technique to maximize results. Very fortunately to have had them as trainers.

    After 3 years, I'm back. I am a firm believer that everything happens for a reason. So when my…read morepanic and anxiety attacks conveniently began to tag team, I found myself back to the beginning. The universe knew exactly what it was doing sending me back to the starting line. I've lost my way again. I indeed forgot how to calm my mind and body. It was a humbling way for the universe to tell me I am not meditating nor relaxing correctly. That's where Jessika comes in. She is the absolute best and is truly amazing at holding a safe space for you to achieve complete and total relaxation. She offers virtual appointments and thankfully she had availability within a few days. My experience during a session is walking in with a million thoughts racing through my head while my body can't sit down and walking out relaxed, peaceful, and focused. What a difference. I must admit how naive I was to think that reiki should not be a consistent part of my healing journey. Talking with Jessika, she made an interesting point that while reiki can help after one session its benefits can go beyond by being more consistent. I do agree because if one session can bring peace to my life imagine what monthly sessions could do for my health and healing. My goal is to be more consistent in reiki healings this year so that I can be the best version of myself. I can't wait to book my next session and continue to work on healing. So if you are on the fence, do it. Book the appointment and get started on your healing journey.

It was a fantastic decision to try something new and I really enjoyed my session! It helped physically and also inspired me to work more diligently on my physical health.

    After the funeral service at An Lac, we brought my uncle's spirit back to this temple to rest…read more Although this was only the second time I ever went to a Buddhist funeral service, the monks and nuns here did a very good job compare to other local temple. The space was also much bigger and they had the best vegetarian meal. We got 2 banquet tables reserved and were served heaps of delicious food that were as good if not better than traditional restaurants. I'm addicted to their egg rolls. We were also served bánh hỏi thịt quay chay, bánh bao vịt quay chay, rice vermicelli with hot pot chay, mì xào giòn chay, and a couple more dishes. They were all incredible. I'm still thinking about the food and wondering if it's sacrilege to reserve for regular party. If you come here for Buddhist related things, don't miss out on their food!

When you walk up the main steps, you will take off your shoes and place them amongst the many other pairs of shoes in the shoe area. On the special days and on their regular temple days, they have vegetarian dishes for purchase at the booth. I have gotten sick once from having some dish from here, but it didnt stop me returning more than once. Oh, and you cannot miss this temple - it's painted a really bright yellow on the outside. Street parking only, so be prepared to park a few short blocks away.

    If you're curious about meditation, don't let nerves about coming alone or never having done it…read morebefore stop you. Beginner or not, this is a great space to relive some stress, tap into your inner peace, and meet others that are also interested in self exploration. What a gem in Costa Mesa, providing the public with free meditation classes (donations are always welcome!). Gil and Marilyn are SO welcoming, and somehow manage to remember everyones names. The first time I came in was by myself for the Wednesday night group practice led by Gil. The next time I came in was with my cousin, who had no prior meditation experience at all, and she loved it. I randomly found this place online when I was looking to get back into meditation a few months after I completed a Vipassana course. Although Shambhala is different, the 7:00pm class opens with an introduction and instruction to approaching this style of meditation. Note that the space itself is *behind* the Coco's. If you're facing the restaurant, to left you'll find a hall that you pass through. Make a turn towards the salon and you'll find the Meditation Center. The space is warm and clean, be sure to check in with Marilyn or Sepi at the front desk to say that you're new. You take off your shoes (you might want to wear socks) and enter the meditation hall closed off by silkscreen doors. No need to bring pillows or a bloc as very comfortable ones are already provided for you. For those who have trouble sitting cross legged or kneeling on the floor, there are three ample rows of chairs behind the floor seating. The temperature is mild--I wore a jean jacket with a t-shirt underneath and was comfortable the whole session. After practicing two sets of walking and sitting meditation, the class sat in a circle and read a chapter from The Lost Art of Good Conversation, by Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche. The discussion that followed provides an excellent connection between how the physical and mental exercise of meditation translates to our everyday lives. You have nothing to lose by dropping in. I hope to provide an updated review after attending one of their Saturday sessions or courses. For a fee, they have really cool contemplative arts seminars. I wanted to sign up for the Ikebana course, the study and practice of flower arranging, but they ran out of space! The best way to keep up with its events is by following its Meetup page.

    I visited this gym on Sunday, January 25th, between 3:00 PM and 4:00 PM, and the experience was…read moreextremely upsetting and humiliating. I came only to ask about a lost key. The gym was closed for maintenance, yet staff were inside and clearly saw me standing at the door. I knocked multiple times and made it very clear that I just needed a few seconds of assistance. The staff looked directly at me and still chose to ignore me. Being visibly acknowledged and then deliberately dismissed felt insulting, disrespectful, and incredibly frustrating. What made this worse is that the gym appeared open as usual on maps, which caused me--and likely others--to waste time coming in without knowing it was closed. The issue isn't the maintenance closure itself, but the lack of basic human decency and professionalism shown by the staff. I did recover my key the following day (Monday, January 26th) from a different staff member, but that does not excuse the way I was treated. No member should ever be made to feel ignored, humiliated, or invisible. Management seriously needs to address this behavior.
