    Sage + Sound 's Flagship location is on 3rd bet. 83rd & 84th Street on the Upper Eastside of…read moreManhattan. After attending a Sage + Sound Sound Bath via a pop-up event last month (it was good seeing you Kathy!), it prompted me to book an actual class @ Sage + Sound at the above stated location. I was immediately interested in the Gong Sound Experience & booking the class online was pretty easy. Sage + Sound has Services, Classes, wellness products, etc. Services include Facials, Massages, Acupuncture, Nail Care via the Nail Salon by Sundays, etc. Classes include Meditation, Sound Experiences, Workshops, etc. Sage + Sounds sells body, hair, skin, products, etc. Once I arrived at Sage + Sound, I received warm greetings via the Receptionist. She explained the various sections - I walked into their cute café, saw the seating area, the nail salon, etc. I was informed that personal belongings are to be placed in the unlocked / unsecured closet area....the communal space where belongings are stored has shelves. Although I put my bag & sneakers in there, I opted to take my wallet & cell phone (turned off of course) into the class. Sage + Sound would benefit from investing in getting individual secured compartments (ex. Lockers - even if people need to bring their own lock, drawers, etc.) where patrons belongings are safely stored & locked away. This would prevent any potential theft of patrons belongings & let patrons feel good knowing their items are safe. The Gong Sound Experience w/ Samer Ghadry was a 1 hr. Class - It was amazing! Sage + Sound's Class / Floor set-up was so comfortable. Everyone laid on their own individual bedding / padding areas w/ a standard blanket & had an eye mask for use. Sage + Sound only had a couple of knitted weighted blankets - it would have been great if they had one for each individual that registered for the class. For a $55 Class, each person should have had an knitted weighted blanket to use if they chose to do so. Samer is an exceptional Instructor w/ such a calm & soothing voice that put me in a immediate relaxed state from the moment he began speaking. The gong sounds, the breathwork, the soothing chant sounds, etc. made for a fantastic experience. Nothing but peacefulness & tranquility. Please check out Samer's Instagram @samerghadry Samer also has a YouTube channel. Sage + Sound Website has information on their classes, workshops, products, services, etc. There are also Class Packages. sage-sound.com @sageandsoundnyc Sage + Sound Hours of Operation: Mon. - Thurs. - 9am - 7:30pm Fri. - 9am - 9pm Sat. & Sun. - 9am - 7pm

    Sage and Sound is three businesses in one location. The Isle of Us Cafe, Sage and Sound massage,…read moreacupuncture, wellness shop, facials, eyebrow therapy, and Tuesday's nail salon. The place is huge. I was there on Mother's Day. Depending on where you enter you may not see the reception and appointment desk for the spa offerings. When I went back to the nail salon I was sent to the reception desk to make an appointment. There's more than one location for Sage and Sound. This is the Flagship location. My only complaint was with the many employees at the reception desk. It would have been nice if I was greeted. I would have been pleased to have a tour of the whole area. It certainly is odd that you can wander around without supervision. I recommend you treat yourself to a pedicure. Don't wait for Mother's Day. The nail salon was the most crowded area in the whole business!

    What's the frequency Kenneth? Actually, that was a 1994 song by REM…read more The Frequency I experienced was a Wellness space located on 27th Street that includes daily classes geared toward "emotional well-being, to expand consciousness and to reconnect to our shared humanity". One of the goals is to also reconnect with yourself. I was not aware of its existence until my friend sent me a link and suggested to check out a class with her. Classes run at $27, but they also have package deals. The theme of the class we took was about Love, including self love. What was fascinating about Frequency was that their classes are held in the most cozy dome. Once you enter the dome for class, it becomes your safe space. We got started with subtle breathing techniques as the facilitator prepared to play a recording that guided us throughout the exercise. The ceiling of the dome was unique as colorful geometric shapes continuously played making me feel hypnotic. The class lasted for an hour and it was a very small group, just 4 including the facilitator. There were mini exercises that had us partner up. I was with my friend and felt comfortable but if you're going alone, expect to open up with a stranger. Some of the words I'd use to describe the class would be: meditation, visualization, deep breathing and affirmations. The lecture was wonderful and I felt very relaxed once it was over with a sense of calmness and serenity. I think $27 for a one hour class might be a tad high but i really enjoyed the experience. But like other regimens such as yoga, the gym and meditation, it is encouraged to visit Frequency regularly to reap the benefits. Definitely recommend!!

    Came into NY for a weekend & decided to try a breath work class for the first time...so glad I did!…read moreIt was amazing & I loved how intimate it was & the dome. Also they provide blankets& pillows !! Wish I lived closer to become a frequent visitor

    I love TM - i have been practicing it since March 2022 and it is very relaxing…read more I do recommend the practice 100% and also this location in Midtown, the TM teachers in there are very supportive and helpful.

    My decision to receive TM training at the Midtown Manhattan Center under the tutelage of Jonathan…read moreGoldstein, has totally transformed my enjoyment of life. I was born and raised in a very rural and tranquil area in north western Ireland, where the Atlantic Ocean meets the lush green hills of my home county of Donegal. It is very easy to find peace there. But in October 2016, I married a New Yorker and soon afterwards found myself in Jackson Heights, Queens - one of the busiest, most densely populated and diverse neighborhoods in the world. That change came as quite a shock. I found the long immigration process to be quite frustrating. During the winter months, I was missing Ireland, struggling to adapt to life in such a busy city, and knew that I needed some sort of change in my life. I was feeling a little stressed, was having trouble sleeping, and was generally experiencing decreased motivation and creativity. Getting good quality sleep was a continual problem. I found TM online, and enrolled for a free non-committal introductory talk in March 2017. I instantly decided to take the training, and it has turned out to be an excellent decision. I thoroughly enjoyed the week-long training program. I found the center to be very relaxing, and the quality of teaching on offer was first class. I could not possibly have asked for better training/mentoring. As for the TM itself, I felt immediate benefits, and now, three months later, having practiced TM twice daily ever since, I feel completely rejuvenated. I sleep as soon as I go to bed, and wake feeling refreshed, positive, very confident about the future, and despite the fast-paced nature of life in New York, I feel calm and assured. Perhaps the best thing I can say about TM is that it is effortless. Previously, when I was presented with a problem or a challenge, (just I suspect like many other people), I would think and think in the hopes of finding a solution. TM has taught me that I don't need to think harder to find solutions to life's problems. In fact, I should do the opposite. TM allows me to switch my thoughts off, and this innately triggers a sense of complete stillness, which brings so many benefits to my life. The realization that I can do this, and delve into the boundless possibilities and creative opportunities that come from TM is a complete revelation. I would thoroughly recommend TM training at the Midtown Manhattan Center.

    Some people really like this temple, and that's fine. I didn't. Why wear Japanese clothing?…read more We're not in Japan, and most of aren't even Japanese. It seems like they're deliberately making this place feel alien so people have to really buy into their way of engaging with Buddhism. It seems a bit too performative, like I'm worrying more about the rituals and being accepted into the club rather than engaging with my mind and relating to other people in an authentic way. That kind of pull is not good. These are just my two cents. I don't want to sound like I'm trashing it. It might be exactly what you're looking for.

    Short version: odd experience, some of which was within the temple's control and some was not. If…read morethis experience turned you off, do not allow it to define your experience of Zen or Buddhism, because this was a particular manifestation that made me rather uncomfortable and did not seem representative of the practice at large. Noticeable lack of diversity in the actual students, though the public crowd was more mixed. I guess the intentions are good though. Liturgy and sutra chanting is done in English, which is an understandable choice - I guess you want folks to understand what they are chanting. But if you have ever been to a temple where chanting is done in one of the languages where the tradition of Buddhism first developed and flourished (i.e. i.e. Japanese/Chinese/Sanskrit), you'll notice that the syllabic and tonal structure of those languages creates a particularly beautiful aesthetic for chanting which is largely lost in English. The translations were also rather awkward and I found myself more focused on the lack of congruence in the whole situation than the actual content of the sutras, which is unfortunate. A very helpful gentleman was walking up and down the aisle and making sure everyone was on the correct page, which was very considerate. A lady next to me, who'd clearly been before as she had all the liturgies memorized, seemed to take particular pride and zeal in butchering the pronunciation of names when we were reading through the ancestor line. I get that foreign languages are difficult and that human speech patterns are largely set after childhood, and that there's no malice in mispronouncing something, but you'd think a little humility would be called for if you know you're about to pronounce something that you're likely to screw up. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Beginning instruction for zazen meditation was good. They provide you with pillows and cushions and introduce you to various poses. I thought the tone was appropriate and approachable for beginners. However, I perceived the meditation leaders to be overly judgmental during the actual meditation session (which, given the foundational belief that all is simply a construction within your mind and judgement is one of the building blocks of suffering, is rather ironic). The instruction is to sit still, but inevitably people want to cough, or shift around, or scratch their nose. When this happened I would catch the leaders looking around or leaning slightly in one direction or another to see who the "culprit" was, and at some point one of them called out, in a particularly harsh tone, for people to sit still. The general seriousness and gravity with which parts of the ritual are carried out (such as the bringing in of the reading podium) seem to have missed the point that all is temporary. You'd think a funeral was happening here. Lastly - and this is what really ruined the experience for me - my boyfriend had left his glasses on his cushion, and at some point during the walking meditation, they were broken. Again, there is a sad irony in the fact that something was carelessly broken during an exercise that was meant to be about mindfulness in walking - literally, feeling the movement of your foot, the placement on the ground, the shifting of balance, the movement of your joints, etc. I find it hard to believe that the breaking of a pair of glasses could have been missed in such a quiet, deliberate, concentrated exercise, and if someone was aware that it happened, I was profoundly disappointed by the fact that they simply left them there without claiming responsibility. But - all is temporary, judgement causes pain, attachment is the root of all suffering. So I'll let go of the glasses, I'll let go of the awkward English sutra chanting, I'll let go of the fact that people looked waaaaaaay too serious, and I'll let go of this experience. :)

The temple is at the foot of Manhattan bridge, not so appealing on the outside but the inside is colorful,beautiful & worth checking out. It houses the biggest Buddha statue in all of Nyc. It's serene & peaceful inside. i didn't encounter a lot of people on my visits. usually only locals praying & few curious tourists. There are signs posted prohibiting pictures on certain areas but on the main altar pictures are ok i think -as long as done discretely. Theres also a gift shop on the entrance. You can light an incense for a fee. The care takers of this spot leave you alone to explore on your own. Theres no fee to enter, but i see some donation boxes around. Buddhist or not one can find something to appreciate in this not so hidden Chinatown gem.
