Padmasambhava Meditation Center (PMC) is a place for the study and practice of meditation in the…read moreNyingma tradition of Tibetan Buddhism. The center is named after Padmasambhava (tr. lotus-born), also known as Guru Rinpoche (tr. precious teacher), who was a great Indian Buddhist master and saint. Guru Rinpoche's activities enabled Vajrayana Buddhism to take a firm hold in Tibet. When practiced with devotion, compassion, and diligence, under the guidance of a qualified teacher, the teachings can be effective in awakening one's true nature. One can receive instruction here on how to practice meditation, either with the guidance of a qualified teacher, or by oneself on specific days and times. The staff/community, or sangha, and a supportive environment can encourage developing one's meditation practice. There are opportunities to listen to teachings with many Buddhist teachers in a specific lineage, study Tibetan Buddhist texts, learn preliminary practices, and participate in various ritual ceremonies. The goal of these programs is teach one to practice wisdom and compassion into one's life. On top of live teachings (which occur Thursdays for members), there are also sometimes streaming teachings that are recorded and available to the public to listen to at home - there is one up right now about Introduction to Meditation, from Sept 27th. Every Sunday morning from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m., the center is open for all to come and do his or her own practice. On special days throughout the year, the sangha gathers to make feast offerings and practice meditation together. PMC's large and spacious meditation room has the capacity to welcome up to 450 people. The basement floor features a large dining hall, a large residential kitchen, and a library. A parking lot adjacent to the building offers ample space to park. There is a small shop near the entryway where one can purchase items to support practice, such as thangkha paintings, ritual implements such as incense, malas (prayer beads), prayer flags, bells, drums and books. The center is wheelchair accessible from the main entrance via a service elevator. Meditation cushions and chairs are provided in the main shrine room; but attendees are welcome to bring their own cushions if they wish. I have only been in here briefly, but it seems very well kept and like a positive place to visit if one wishes to learn to meditate or listen to teachings -- the little store is also very cool. :)

Denver doesn't have very many Zen centers. But, we do have a very strong center with the ZCD…read more It's a beautiful setting, with comfortable carpeted floors (no shoes), tall ceilings, and an intricate shrine alcove. The center is easily accessible to those new to Buddhism or Meditation, with instruction available from qualified teachers in a setting that is separate from the main sitting room, so you don't feel intimidated by all those people in robes. Show up a little early so they know you need the lesson. Regular sittings, often twice a day. Regular talks and retreats. Nice folks. Check the calendar: http://www.zencenterofdenver.org/Calendar/ or the website for more info: http://www.zencenterofdenver.org/ For those more familiar with Zen practice, the ZCD leans a little to the Rinzai side, lineage is Robert Aitken Roshi's Diamond Sangha.

I attended a beginner night event at the Zen Center of Denver and was very impressed with the…read moreexperience. All of the beginner students were welcomed upon arrival and we were given basic instructions prior to the meditation session starting. I felt comfortable and prepared based on the instructions offered. The group was a mix of visitors and regular members and followed the structure of 25 minutes seated meditation, 5 minutes of walking meditation, a second 25 minute seated meditation and second 5 minute walking meditation. Following the meditation, the primary teacher and two group leaders offered basic insights on buddhism, the zen tradition and their group. They also invited us to become a regular member of their community, which was nice. While I am a fairly seasoned meditation practitioner, I appreciated the guidance and basic understanding of a practice that I am less familiar with, and I would recommend the beginner night event to anyone new to meditation, or interested in exploring the zen tradition.

I've had 3 or 4 sessions with Melove over the past year and each time I'm blown away at how…read moreeffective her treatments are and also at the speed at which I start to notice improvement and relief. Immediately after a session I'm in a much calmer state and this is with me entering in at a high level of panic & despair. Later into the evening I notice more improvement and by the following day my mental and spiritual state resumes to an even higher level of functioning than my normal. At first I wasn't sure if hypnosis would work especially when instructed to visualize because imagery is not a strong point of mine but each time I've been pleasantly impressed at how I enter a deep state of relaxation so much so that my head falls and a couple times I woke myself up snoring. I've also had a handful of sessions with Halen the hands on energy healer at Inner Soundness and strongly recommend her services as well. These two ladies I'll forever be grateful for, they were able to rapidly pull me out of some really dark times and I appreciate how they've been able to fit me in for short notice appointments. Although I now live overseas, I'm relieved to know I can still utilize their services via virtual appointment. Melove and Halen are the real deal! If you're looking for rapid relief therapy or a means for self improvement I highly recommend booking a consult at Inner Soundness **MANY** thanks for all yalls help!!

I worked with Melove in the Dallas, TX area for hypnosis sessions. I'm currently in the midst of…read moregoing through her sessions, but I am already noticing such a massive difference in the way that my brain automatically works. I am someone who is very self aware and has tried many healing modalities, but this has worked on me in a way others have not before. I catch myself immediately turning off my negative thoughts before they begin. I'm able to calm myself quickly and efficiently, and I have been feeling more empowered than ever because of this. I've had a lot of challenges come up recently, and I have been able to shift my mind to a more productive mentality with minimal effort. I can't wait to see what the future has in store! Melove is an absolutely joy to work with. I immediately felt comfortable in her presence, which is saying something because I am no stranger to social anxiety! In hypnosis, I was able to achieve a state of peace and relaxation I have never felt to that degree. She is a natural at this.. this is her gift that she has lovingly developed to help others. I am already thankful for everything she's helped me accomplish, and I look forward to continuing to work with her.

You can tell that Kathy chooses her practitioners very carefully as they all match the intention she infuses into the studio. The wonderful energy can be felt as soon as you step foot in the studio. The session room is clean and comfortable, and the feeling of "being taken care of" is palpable. Jeff even has his special dog, Miko (hope I got his name right) as a healing partner too!

I sought out David, owner of Soul Growth Network, after having moved to the Denver area. I was…read moreinterested in finding a new community for sound healing, breathwork, workshops, and retreats. My experiences with David have been nothing short of rejuvenating, healing, and soul inspiring. David is meticulous in facilitating a nurturing expansive space along with those he chooses to work with. His heart and soul are aligned in providing a supportive space and community for others to reconnect to their own innate wisdom within . He places a high value on each of us being our own healer with our own innate spiritual wisdom we can connect to at anytime. I feel my spiritual values and self sovereignty are upheld with the upmost respect in the opportunities he provides. His sound baths are nothing short of bliss and are a welcome retreat from the busy lives we all live. The weekend spiritual retreat David facilitated filled up my inner cup and helped me to realign to my most sacred values. It'a pure joy to be around like minded humans who are also on their own unique spiritual journey. The space David facilitated and provided for us to all feel accepted, loved, honored, and in-tuned was nothing short of soul satisfying. Soul Growth Network is just that... a supportive community that provides opportunities for your own soul growth.

I have been to various sound baths across the country, but since finding David (Soul Growth…read moreNetwork), I've had a hard time going anywhere else. I began coming to David's sound baths about a year and a half ago and during that time have also been to two of his retreats, a few of his Alchemy sound bath series and a few of his breathwork classes. I am in awe of what a wonderful community he continues to build. He is one of the most genuine people I have ever met, is incredibly supportive and creates a space for individual growth and connecting with others.

A coworker recommended Shantee when I was looking for a new masseuse last year. My coworker warned…read morethat she was a bit on the expensive side, but I don't mind paying for results and honestly Shantee's prices are in line with the market. Shantee is calm, communicative, and receptive to your requests. If I'm totally honest, I didn't leave feeling amazing after my first couple sessions with her. The amazing feeling came in the days (and weeks!) following my appointment. Her techniques are effective, if a little uncomfortable at the time. Yesterday, for example, I went in and didn't realize how tight my spine was. She spent time loosening the tissue surrounding I left feeling much better, and this morning I can tell the results will once again be long lasting. (And I really don't feel like I'm doing her justice) I'm not able to take advantage of this, but she also takes HSA. Absolutely recommend her for your self-care indulgence!

Shantee is the most incredible wellness practitioner! I started seeing her in 2019 and she has…read morehelped me so much. I had chronic neck pain that she was able to address and alleviate! I deal with a lifetime worth of body damage and injuries, particularly with my back, and Shantee does such an incredible job at getting to the root cause of pain and dysfunction and addressing it both through massage and corrective exercises that I do outside of my time with her that help. She also takes care of my mind and spirit. It is very evident that she cares about her clients and understands that everything is connected. She is so knowledgable in the latest science on fitness, bodywork, nutrition, and is an expert in a variety of massage techniques. She is able to use her wealth of knowledge and intuition to give me exactly what I need through a variety of techniques, each time I see her. If you are lucky enough to have Shantee in your life, you will forever be grateful!
