Chapter 12: Love - cultivating self-love

Myoju Tanagokoro ni ari is a Japanese Zen phrase originating from the Blue Cliff Record with two meanings. The original meaning is there is a clear mirror in your hand, while the common meaning today is there is a beautiful pearl in your hand. The original interpretation suggests that the ability to perceive things accurately is within one's control, enabling one to distinguish between good and bad. The second interpretation highlights the importance of self-cultivation and acknowledges that everyone possesses the Buddha nature within themselves. Ultimately, both interpretations convey the same message: the fundamental teaching of Buddhism is that one's own self is a Buddha. In this episode, we embark on a journey guided by the radiant presence of Marisa Cranfill - a revered Qigong teacher and beacon of light. With over two decades of experience studying and working with Qigong and healers in both the Buddhist and Taoist traditions, Marisa invites us to delve deep into the boundless realm of love. Through her direct experience, she reveals that love is the pinnacle of human potential and the master frequency, from which all other emotions arise. She shares that true love is unconditional, a force that transcends the duality of yin and yang and the limitations of ego. Love becomes a virtue, a path to transcendence. Marisa illuminates that cultivating self-love is the essential first step towards nurturing unconditional love. Join us for an enlightening conversation on the power of love and how it can transform our lives.
