Maha Rose Center for Healing

Last night I had an excellent Skype session with Deborah Hanekamp. I had seen her Baby Naming Ceremony advertised on the Carriage House Birth Instagram, but because I live in Miami I could not attend.
Her demeanor was was wonderful. She was professional, concise and focused. If you are looking to connect with your unborn baby this is a wonderful way to do so. She asks great questions and seems to intuit which direction to take the session in a nice, non-​invasive way.
I’m looking forward to doing a session with her in person.

Maha Rose is a heavenly oasis. The minute I walked in, I felt at ease and renewed. The space itself is charged with pure positive energy. I received a reiki healing session from Luke and it was both nurturing and enlightening. His intuition and skills guide him to open up the areas of your body that have blockages in order to give you the messages you need to heal. Today, i woke up feeling balanced, with an overall knowing that everything is perfect in all its imperfections. I will definitely be back.

I recently signed up for a group hypnosis led by Morgan. If it was solely up to this class itself I would give it 5 stars. Morgan was great and I would love to see her one on one. However, the owner of the center made me really uncomfortable. She participated in the group class but proceeded to announce, more than once, that there was still people that needed to pay and if some of the later comers had not signed in yet, they should do so. I’m not sure where she thought everyone was running off too after the class or if she thought she was going to get shorted $ 30 but it was completely unnecessary and even Morgan at one point said it could wait until after. BUT after the class as everyone is putting their jackets and discussing the session the owner came back with a clipboard and hovered over people checking off her list in the most uncomfortable manner ever. I felt her looking at me so I looked over at her and she asked me to sign in as if she already assumed I had not done so. I stated that I had already signed in and that I paid for the class online. Chill out chickie, you look money hungry. It’s all in the approach. Perhaps you should look into have a better sign in system rather than creeping everyone out with your aggressive vibes.

Maha rose is my favorite new find in NYC. I heard about the center when I bought a living social voucher for an intro to chakras. That class was really interesting and a great start for me into this topic. I felt the center has great energy and I felt comfortable and at peace in the big area for group classes.
I then went to a gong sound bath healing session where the healer uses different instruments to create vibrations that reduce stress and stimulate your glandular system for relaxation and healing. I had a great first experience and appreciated the very open and mentoring style of the healer to really allow us to ask questions and understand how to make the most of the session.
The last class I attended was the monthly astrology class. I was interested in astrology before, but the class taught me how to read my birth chart and what to look into to learn more. It was clear, fun, and opened a whole bag of curiosities for me in this area. Leslie was very open, inviting, and spent a lot of personal time with students to allow everyone to leave with personal insights. She also talks about the month ahead for everyone to be able to use the positions of the planets to make the most of their energy and understand how and why they might feel certain things on certain days.
The center is very clean and the staff is friendly and not intimidating. It’s a great place for both beginners and those knowledgeable of these fields. The prices are very affordable and definitely worth every penny.

Living in greenpoint, Maha Rose has been a massively profound asset to my growth, health & happiness. I’m openminded, but i’m a rationalist, so I’ve attend things here as a bit more of a skeptic, but have always seen unexpected benefits unfold. Finding the Dharma punx meditation group that meets here Monday, i began attending weekly. I’ve found a community that I didn’t think was possible for me & learned so much from Josh. Laughter yoga seemed silly, and it is! But, even just going twice has had a lasting impact, deepening my understanding of laughter as medicine, joy, awareness of reciprocal communication between the body & emotions. Breathwork with Luke was incredible– I had no idea we could reach profound altered states of insight so simply! Attending community reiki was amazing and lead me to learn reiki from Lisa, making me a more intuitive, warm person, more comfortably aware of touch /​energy between myself and others. Lisa, the mother of Maha Rose, is an incredible woman, powerful healer but personable, very human, kind, accepting, unconditionally loving to everyone, a teacher by example in learning to loving oneself unconditionally. I have often been self-​conscious, aware of judgement or my outsiderness in spiritual communities, and this loving acceptance of LIsa’s is really the most significant thing that gathers and permeates all the events that come together in this space. Although I am a designer, not with any plans to become a healer or devotee, my experiences at Maha Rose have alway lead to huge rippling effects in my life, helping me to continually become more peaceful, communicative, and insightful in all ways. So grateful to have this resource in my life, so moved by all that it does for so many people, so hopeful for all those who find themselves there!

tonight was my first time at the maha rose. I attended the dharma punx meditation and dharma talk. the space was glowy and serene and the talk was thought-​provoking and made me want to go back. everyone I interacted with was kind and smiley and the dharma punx was donation-​based. makes me happy that this kind of place exists in NYC.

I can be pretty solidly skeptical, but the community reiki I went to was a life saver.
After months of serious pain and confused traditional doctors, the practioner here was truly healing.
I will definitely go back, especially since they offer the ‘community’ version. Alternative methods of healing should be available to all, despite their paycheck, so really, really thank you Maha Rose.

One hates to be cliché with words like «oasis» and «refuge» but, indeed, these best describe Maha Rose. A quiet light in a bustling city, Maha Rose allows you to not just rest but recharge in the best possible ways. A cozy room with white billowing curtains, fresh flowers, and slanting light serves as everything from a reiki treatment center, a meditation cave, a yoga studio, a craft workshop, a time capsule (past life regressions are done here, after all), a dance floor, a breath work enhancer, and a laughter chamber. The space is so full of high vibration joy — guided and inspired by the delightfully intelligent, warm, and experienced owner Lisa Levine — that you’ll probably start grinning as soon as you walk in. While a variety of teachers contribute to the space, I’ve worked primarily with Lisa, studying under her for my reiki training (fantastic) and receiving breath and body work from her as well. The community reiki and acupuncture are great and cheap ways to get a feel for the space and its offerings and get hooked on the vibes — not to mention a reason to wander in and observe Ms. Levine’s elegant and whimsical jewelry collection. For anyone interested in exploring the subtle body, deepening their peace and building their joy, Maha Rose is the place!

I am an aspiring healer and educator who recently moved to Greenpoint. I stumbled upon Maha Rose after exploring the neighborhood and made a promise to explore it when things would settle and I was ready. I could tell by its exterior, with carefully placed flowers and crystals, that great, deliberate care was placed to purify what appears to be a former garage /​warehouse — its purity shone through its exterior.
I came for two separate services at momentous times: a past life regression with kundalini yoga and a community reiki session.
The environment:
The interior is spacious, clean, bright/​warm light like an embrace. Shoes and coats are collected and hung, the space is cleansed and well kept with carpets, gentle and modest décor — much like stepping into a hidden oasis. The room in which both sessions took place is spacious for about 10 – 12 individuals, warm, and with plants, delicate lights, incense, and a shrine encompassing various conduits of compassion. Inviting and peaceful.
The staff:
The staff are gentle, kind, and greet you with a light and friendly demeanor in a storybook fashion. You just know, non-​intimidatingly, they are very gifted and ready to assist with what you have come to work on.
The services:
First, very affordable for the high quality. This blew me away.
— Past Life Regression with Kundalini Yoga:
I have had plenty of déjà vu moments with individuals I knew I met or learned from in a former life. I’ve been eager to try a hyponosis-​induced regression experience. Our practitioners kept us in an embraceful state, reminding us of the power of our authority to control our mind/​body connection and explore these experiences within ourselves as we wish. I have never been hypnotised, and I was a little nervous. I found the experience to be comforting, relaxing, nurturing, and very much focused on self-​actualization. There was space for self and, other, if so inclined to share experiences. I was able to experience two regressions, but oddly, I healed from a physical ailment I wasn’t expecting to heal from. Prior to attending this workshop, I had been suffering from a psychosomatic pain in my left shoulder that occurred shortly after my move. I tried a lot of things to eliminate this pain, but with little results. After this workshop, this pain completely disappeared and never returned. Anyway, I highly recommend this for those who are curious.
— Community Reiki
I have never received a reiki treatment, and, since I had such an enjoyable experience, I came again for one. To receive, you wait laying down and relaxing to the lovely meditative music they have. The proceeds (suggested $ 15, again, a humble amount!) go to benefit Occupy Sandy. My practitioner, Jenn, was gentle, calming, and extremely gifted. I experienced a warmth, buzz, and sensations of smell, electricity and the «false hands» (it is reported that those receiving reiki can feel additional hands on their body even if their practitioner has left the room or stopped performing. there are many beautiful explanations for this). I felt wonderful afterwards.
Again, I had a very powerful healing experience. I recall during my session, Jenn asked me to breathe very deeply in my abdominal area. Nearly 24 hours later, I was rushed for an emergency removal of a 3-​inch cyst on my ovary that burst. I had no idea I was harboring this, but I cannot begin to describe how grateful I am for this detection. Again, beautifully powerful and healing.
Thank you so much, Maha Rose. I will surely be back to keep learning from you.
