I had no idea that there was a Buddhist Temple right next door in Wakefield. I was lucky enough to…read morebe invited by a close friend to go to the Temple for a relaxation session. Upon arriving at the Temple, I was surprised by its exterior appearance as it looked like a standard multi-family just like the other structures on the street. We walked through the front door into a large foyer with a few miscellaneous wall hangings and shelving for everyone's shoes. So I removed my boots and placed them on a shelf and followed my friend up a small flight of stairs and through a doorway. As I passed through the doorway in to a large room approximately 50 feet by 40 feet, I was transported to a Buddhist Temple. The wood floors perfectly polished, not even a smudge. From the ceiling hung an unlimited amount of beautiful Chinese Paper Lanterns. Then I glanced to the left and that's when I knew I was in an authentic Buddhist Temple. A larger than life Golden Wall Statue, 2 10 foot murals, a 5 foot bell which must be heard miles away, a wall of mini statues with lights and much much more. The room had an Aura of peace and wellbeing. Everyone gathered in a circle around the Crystal Healing Bowls and the Lightworker. I proceeded to make myself comfortable by arranging 3 mats so I could sit, lay and relax in major comfort. I was then treated to a session of relaxation accompanied by Crystal Healing Bowls and miscellaneous relaxation sounds and words from the Lightworker. This particular Lightworker also uses Tibetan Singing Bowls which I hope to experience on my next journey to a cleansed soul. This all lasted for approximately an hour and when it was done, it was as if my soul was cleansed and free of all bad and stressful things, almost a state of pure freedom and happiness. This is believe it or not a free session, but it's customary to leave a donation on your way out. Average donation would be $20-$25/per person. Quite a bargain for the experience. I am definitely going to attend more various sessions here. I give Mun Su Sa Buddhist Temple a Solid 5 Stars.

I noticed changes immediately but after six weeks, I've achieved improved balance, confidence, muscle memory, coordination, flexibility and peacefulness. It's also a fantastic, fun and satisfying workout! Before joining, I felt very self-conscious about recent weight gain and wasn't sure what to expect from as I'm overall clumsy by nature. I opted to start with a free introductory session and followed with 2 private lessons. I immediately felt satisfaction with what I was learning and was eager to continue by joining classes. I would like to note that there is no pressure whatsoever regarding joining, or subscribing to special belt programs. I pay monthly. The classes are great and anyone could easily start with them. No one gets lost. I've gotten very specialized attention when needed. It was a pleasant surprise to find a balance of women in the group and more surprised to have a mix of people (different ages, shapes, sizes, abilities) working seamlessly well with each other. Everyone is well spirited and enthusiastic, excited to participate and share their skills. I was immediately comfortable in the environment and quickly lost the heavy self-conscious feeling. Since, I've increased my plan to include extra sessions and keep training through the week. These sessions are allowing me to pursue instruction in specific topics I'm interested in whether it be to increase proficiency in a form or to try something new. For example, I recently learned my first weapon, sticks! The experience is incredibly gratifying and I encourage anyone to join. I was looking for a physical activity that excited me to partake in and could easily become part of my daily routine rather than be a chore to me like going to the gym had become. If I skip a class because of my work schedule, I truly miss it. I'm frankly amazed at how fluid some of my motions have become and it's always fun to see your forms and moves appear in a television show or film you're watching.
