Bangkok, Thailand -- (SBWIRE) -- 07/03/2023 -- "Myoju Tanagokoro ni ari" is a Japanese Zen phrase that means "there is a beautiful pearl in your hand," emphasizing self-cultivation and the existence of Buddha nature within everyone. In this episode, host Hitomi, along with colleagues Jorge and Zrna, interviews Marisa Cranfill from YOQI - yoga & qigong. Marisa, a respected Qigong teacher with extensive experience in Buddhist and Taoist traditions, guides listeners on a journey exploring the limitless realm of love. She reveals that love is the highest human potential and the master frequency from which all emotions arise. Marisa emphasizes that love is not just an emotion but a virtue and a path to transcendence. Cultivating self-love is the crucial first step towards nurturing unconditional love. Join the conversation to discover the transformative power of love in our lives.

"Love is the greatest human potential to evolve and connect with the universe through our consciousness, and our consciousness is accessed through the heart. I believe that our purpose as humans is to embody divine matter through the heart.

True love is unconditional and goes beyond the limitations of the self and ego. It transcends the duality of Yin and Yang."

About Let's open the box of ZEN!

We often hear the word "Zen," but what exactly is Zen? I remember a well-known monk at a Zen temple in Japan who has been cultivating Zen since ancient times, smiling and saying, "Actually, I still don't know what Zen is." Like a bottomless box, the answer is endless. A mind that is not trapped, free and fresh thinking is the base of ZEN philosophy, thus answers like the monk's come into play. However, the reality is that our mind and body can easily be trapped by outside stimuli. As a practitioner of J.F Barnes's Myofascial Release approach, I have seen many physical conditions deeply tied to trapped emotions. I have also seen and experienced miraculous healing by letting go of those emotions or past experiences. While it is so easy to be swallowed by the force of the negative experiences, there are ways to find peace, balance, and strength to stay in tune. Guests from various backgrounds and I will seek the ways of how to let go of challenges of love, grief, time, power, fear, anger, etc.
