(Kinda like a scene from a Miyazaki movie lol). I come here when I need some quiet time to unwind & relax. The temple is open to all visitors to admire, you can pretty much walk anywhere on the temple ground. Bring some cash with you for donation - $3 donation per person is suggested by the caretakers. Also be respectful of their rules. Witnessed tourists sit & play on the piano in the prayer room, big no-no, plus there's signs outside this room specifically stating silence. (Yes, these tourists were scolded and left quickly in embarrassment. *Tsk tsk) Was also told that the monks sell kimchi here. I definitely need to ask next time I'm there.

There was a slight issue with scheduling online, so Jacqueline texted me late at night, which I sincerely appreciated because it would not have been fun to drive all the way to Hawaii Kai to find out I couldn't get the massage. It wasn't a massage like you would get from a massage therapist, but rather the modality has to do with energy healing. Everyone's experience highly varies depending on a multitude of factors, but if you believe that reiki healing is what you need, then see my friends at Honolulu Reiki. It's not cheap, but what is self-care worth to you?

I decided it was time to reconnect my breath with my body and started looking for a studio close by and Yoga & Art popped up in my Yelp search. I scoped it out and realized that studio I went to 7 years recently shifted in to offering more types of yoga and art classes! I signed up for a beginners vinyasa flow with Mia. It. Was. FANTASTIC. You could feel her positive energy and she spread her attention to everyone in the class. I could not have asked for a better first class to get back in to the flow of things. Icing on the cake? The owner had just finished a class when I arrived, he looked up and said "hi erica! Long time no see." He remembered me from 7 years ago!!! Needless to say I've found my new yoga home. I can't wait to transform my mind and body with the guidance from this studio. I'm also excited about trying the art classes! So stoked to have this studio so close to home!

TM works but it didn't give me the results I was looking for…read more I was expecting for my anxiousness, ptsd, and stress to be significantly lowered. I meditated two times a day as prescribed and I would "transcend" consistently (almost like a conscious nap). I would feel Physically refreshed but this never provided long term or "transformative" result I was searching for. I was under the impression that through TM I could release most stress and anxiety. not the case for me. I enjoy the information. Cliff totally assumed my disinterest stemmed from my father and "false information" on the internet (I never looked it up or spoke to my family about TM. Super random). I didn't really connect with my instructor. It's been almost a year since I started & stopped TM and just want to give others a heads up who is seeking the same relief I was looking for. What worked best for me was consistent exercise, healthy diet, and community service (as much as possible). More effective and cheaper than TM.

I can't put into words the spiritual fulfillment I have experienced through TM. It simply must be experienced first hand. Peace, love and harmony.

It…read morewas an invitation to slow down, pay attention, and rediscover my relationship with the living world around me. Her gentle presence, wisdom, and skill as a guide created a space where I felt both grounded and renewed. What impressed me most was how naturally she helped us move beyond simply observing nature to truly being in conversation with it. The experience awakened gratitude, wonder, and a deeper sense of connection. Our time together was rich with meaningful reflection, laughter, silence, and insight. Phyllis brings extraordinary warmth, attentiveness, and authenticity to her work. She guides without forcing, teaches without preaching, and creates the conditions for each person to discover their own experience. I left feeling restored in body, mind, and spirit. Highly recommended for anyone seeking reflection, healing, and a deeper connection with the natural world. I wholeheartedly recommend Phyllis Look and Forest Bathing Hawaiʻi. This was one of the most meaningful wellness experiences I have had, and I will carry its gifts with me for a long time. -- Radmar Jao, SJ

She is a very good teacher and a good healer. She told me to stand straight up to check my posture. In an instant, she knew where my pain was in my legs and lower back.
