The store itself is on the backside of the complex, split between an downstairs space and a separate upstairs space with more wearable items. Some items here are a complete D-E-A-L. $2 for a bundle of sage?! I spend more on gasoline, driving up to Angeles Forest to gather it in the wild. Some stones do cost a bit more, but again, you'd have to make a bit of drive to find a shop for something comparable. And the selection of stones here are very unique, that I don't necessarily see in other shops... like the gorgeously eye-catching blue goldstone. If you're looking for moldavite, they got it! Another Synergy 12 stone I found here is Tibetan Tektite! Iolite is another good one for pineal gland activation, and this is the only store nearby that carries a good bunch! Plus, nearly weekly, every Saturday, they usually plan a cool event, like free readings and such. Very cool spot if you're a rockaholic. Ya' dig?

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.

They offer a wide variety of yoga classes, as well as sound therapy - I definitely recommend trying different classes. Each visit feels a little magical.

I am a yoga teacher in training and got the opportunity to practice teaching here as my first in-studio class. I'm very thankful for Pam as she opened up her space to give me and my classmates a chance to practice our teachings! I would love to be back to take classes for myself and glad I was able to tell my family and friends about it too. The studio offers different classes like chair yoga, yin yoga, sound bath, yoga for addiction, and more. I'm sure you'll find something you're interested in. Try it out for yourself and you won't be disappointed :)

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.

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!

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.
