I decided to put my @shabachyoga birthday coupon (because a true Virgo never lets a coupon go to…read morewaste!) to good use, by trying a new-to-me service: Reiki/Chakra Balancing Details: If you've been feeling emotionally stuck, the likely reason is an imbalance in your emotional energy. During this deeply relaxing session, the practitioner focuses Reiki energy to balance the 7 major energy centers (chakras) in the body. Expect to feel a release of negative energy and limiting thoughts. Expect to gain a sense of clarity and peace. This session will also aid in stress reduction and promote an overall sense of well-being. This session is heightened by the use of sound and scents, as the practitioner employs singing bowls, tuning forks, and essential oils to bring you back to a place of emotional balance. The session lasts 30-45 minutes depending on the state of your chakras. * I walked in with no fear and ready to get started, because I trust Courtenay's judgement. I just wanted to explore a new method of #selfcare.‍ As always, I left this session with lots of 'wow' exclamations.‼ (If only these sessions could be recorded/photographed. Then again, everything isn't meant for public display and stuff like this should be kept sacred.) Since beginning my #yoga /#meditation practice, a lot has changed (and will continue to do so) between my CROWN and my ROOT chakras. There's hope. Don't let #covid get you down. Consider #yoga as a way to get "unstuck" from the rut of #quarantine ‍ Namasté! __ IG: @f.hux Keep reading... #foodieHUX #yelpelite #yelpeatsdc

This was a not so good experience for me. I arrived 5 minutes late to an hour long session and was…read moredenied entry to the class, I can understand if I were 15 minutes late but I wasn't. This is terrible customer service in my opinion. As someone who made a first attempt at starting something new, this wasn't a good first impression on the energy being put off to me as a patron. Especially when you're attending something that's supposed to be relaxing and inviting. What if someone needed to build up the courage to come in a new environment in which they we nervous or self conscious about. When I arrived at the door the instructor simply just shook her head at me and didn't even think to offer me a refund or another session slot, she was just going to keep my money. Mind you this class cost $20. This doesn't seem very inviting and I would recommend another studio.

I took the Mindful Enneagram course with Rob Creekmore and I highly recommend it. I've been…read morestudying the Enneagram through the Diamond Approach for 15 years and Rob added another depth of knowledge and understanding to what I already knew. He has great versatility in his ability to understand the nuances of each type, how each type interacts with their core fixation and how each type might be mistaken for another. He taught each of the enneatypes with respect to the 3 foundations of mindfulness - body, heart and mind - and how each of those mindfulness practices could be a source of support for us as we learn to loosen up our attachment to the egoic aspects of our enneatype. His teaching style is relaxed and relational and he never seemed rushed with any of our questions or observations but rather would take the time to explore them. I recommend keeping an eye out for the next time he offers the course.

For people who are interested in spiritual and personal growth from a Western Buddhist psychology…read moreperspective, I highly recommend this organization. It is founded and led by highly trained and compassionate people who, in my experience, encourage an individualized approach and welcome honest feedback. One trainer I especially appreciate is Stan Eisenstein. I have taken a number of courses from him and for over 2 years have attended a daily weekday Telesangha that I find extremely helpful. The latest course with him and co-leader Ruth Zanoni, who was also excellent, was a 17 week course on living with chronic pain and chronic illness using a Western Buddhist psychology framework and an experiential methodology with easily accessible homework. It is so helpful that I encourage all who live with chronic pain and/or illness to consider the course "Inviting Chronic Pain and Illness to Tea". My perspective comes from a 40 year career as a licensed master-level clinical social worker in private practice who has worked psychodynamically in her own practice and her own personal psychotherapy.

Here's my backstory if you haven't yet read any of my other 65+ Yelp reviews of psychics: I'm an…read moreR&D & consulting scientist/engineer w/a grad degree in the sciences, and a mystic, spiritual teacher/healer & intuitive. I've had cold readings from 300+ psychics in my life. Since I'm a mystic, my life is filled with Divine love & grace; b/c my mind is calm & quiet, and b/c I am open and very well-grounded (these latter 2 qualities are essential for a good reading), it's very easy for a good psychic to read me, but a poor psychic won't see much b/c there are no dramas in my life to cause big blips on the psychic radar screen. Please note that when I visit psychics, I'm NOT seeking help w/problems, nor w/wishes, nor seeking answers or advice, nor spiritual guidance. Rather, I visit them because God/Source/Supreme Heart asks me to & b/c it's fun to connect w/supernatural readers. BTW, I'm VERY good at setting boundaries w/people like pushy salespeople & unethical psychics who might try to con/upsell me. So, when reading my reviews, it may be VERY HELPFUL to bear in mind what I wrote above, b/c your own experience w/a psychic may differ from mine; your mileage may vary! Also, my reviews of psychics are for readings only, and never for extra services they might offer (e.g., healings, clearings, guidance, etc.). This review is for a telephone reading that I received on June 24, 2003 from Cyndi when she was living and working as a psychic in Sedona, AZ, and I was living in the US Northeast. Cyndi was a total stranger to me at the time of the reading; I had found her via her website, after a recommendation from an ex-GF. I called her on the morning of the reading using the phone # on her website to ask for a phone reading, and by early PM, she was giving me a 1-hour phone psychic/tarot/astrology reading. Cyndi is now located in Virginia Beach, VA, and I have an appointment to have another reading with her tomorrow (I will update my review if needed post-reading...) From a reviewer's point of view, the great value of the fact that Cyndi delivered my reading back in 2003 (and sent me a tape of the reading, which I transcribed and later put in my database) is that of hindsight and perspective: the fact that 17 years have passed since the reading gives me a great opportunity to assess the accuracy of the many predictions that she made for my future in the latter half of the reading, despite the fact that I'd cautioned her that I was not very interested in hearing predictions for the future (aka fortune-telling), since the future is very difficult to predict accurately - with the exception of a very few events that are fixed in time and space - due to human free will & retrocausality. As I always do w/readings, this was a totally cold reading: I told Cyndi, prior to the start, only my full name and date/place of birth, along with the region/state in which I lived, which was all that she asked for. First, let me say up front that I believe that delivering an accurate psychic reading over the phone is far more difficult than is the case during an in-person reading, because it can be much more difficult at a distance to "connect" with the client, and there is no opportunity to touch them (such as on the hand or arm while examining their palms, etc.) or one of their belongings in order to employ psychometric methods. In the first half of the reading, the general life reading portion, where she was describing my general life history and then-current life with specifics and in detail, her accuracy rate was well over 93%. This is very impressive! For the second half of the reading, despite my earlier-mentioned caution that I did not expect predictions for the future due to the attendant inherent obstacles that I mentioned above, Cyndi nonetheless insisted upon offering me a number of detailed predictions for the future. I recently perused a text transcript of the reading (that I had years ago transcribed from the audio tape, long ago transferred to audio CD) that she sent me in 2003, and noticed, with the benefit of hindsight from the perspective of reviewing it 17 years later, that her numerous and quite-specific and detaled predictions for my future had an accuracy rate of over 86%, which is incredibly impressive. I can also say that Cyndi is one of a very few psychics whom I have ever encountered who is able to deliver a very accurate reading over the telephone for a client whom she has never met in person. This is a rare gift. Overall, an amazing reading from a highly-capable and competent reader! I am looking forward to my upcoming second phone reading tomorrow, 17+ years after the first. Postscript, circa 8/12/2020: I had mentioned above that I was scheduled to have a followup phone psychic reading with Cyndi the next day, on Aug. 7. That reading went every bit as well as I had expected it would, and I found her detailed insights to be very accurate. So, my rating is still 5 stars! Amazing!

I completed Lindsay's 6 week program and wow! I can truly say that it was a life changing…read moreexperience!! In the past 4 years, I had gained 40+ lbs due to some special medicine I was taking (and probably some overeating of hamburgers too haha). I tried EVERYTHING to get rid of it. Juice cleanses, special diets, pills, multiple private trainers, you name it and I had done it. Unfortunately, nothing stuck. Knowing my wedding was just around the corner, I had to do something to get the weight off for good. I wanted to feel confident on my wedding day! I found Lindsay through a quick yelp search and was intrigued. Let's get this straight. This is not a special fad diet or some strict eating plan, its a way of life! Lindsay gives you the tools, skills, and mindset to make a long lasting change in your lifestyle. During the course of the 6 weeks, I lost 8+ lbs and now (more than 3 months later) I'm still continuing to lose weight by following what she taught me. I plan to be at my goal weight in the next 3 months (in time for my wedding!) And most importantly, I feel fantastic!!!!! I feel like a whole new person. Yes, it's a monetary investment but it was worth every penny :) do it!!!

I was always looking for that quick/easy way to lose weight and while I have been successful in the past, it always comes back. With Lindsay's program, I feel confident that this is something I can keep up with long term and I have already seen amazing results. Not only do I notice a physical change, but mentally I feel so much better as well. I am sleeping better and have more energy. As other reviewers have said, this is not a strict or fad diet but a different way of life. I eat out a lot and starting this program I was worried I wasn't going to be able to do that. However, Lindsay taught me some tips and tricks so that I can still eat out, drink and socialize but still eat healthy and it can still taste good. I can't wait to see what happens in the next few months!
