 Aloha everyone. How are you? March is Women's History Month, commemorating and encouraging the study, observance, and celebration of the vital role of women in American history. Welcome to Sister Power. I'm Sharon Thomas Yarbrough. Our topic today is Dow Calligraphy, Art Beyond Art. Art is a tool to communicate feeling and energy between the artist and the viewer. Positive messages in the art can have tremendous transformational effects on viewers of the art. This afternoon we have two fabulous Sister Power guests. Orlina Wang is a certified direct soul communicator, a certified Dow hands practitioner, a certified Dow calligraphy, master practitioner, and teacher, and one of the leading teachers in Hawaii for the Academy. Diane Fujio's greatest joy comes from serving. She was honored to be one of the founding members of Master Shaw's first center in Honolulu, Hawaii, and continues to support its growth and expansion. Welcome, ladies and sisters. Hello. It's such an honor to be here. Thank you. We're delighted. We're so delighted. We're so joy. Thank you very much. Thank you. Thank you for coming. And you know, Diane, when we first met, you know, it's like I've known you for a lifetime. We met at the Royal Tea Service a month or so ago. And the first thing that you said when you stood up, all the ladies had a chance to talk about themselves. You said, I love all of you. And that just came so genuine from your heart. And I want to thank you for just bridging that gap between us all. So we're here to talk about calligraphy, which what I know about calligraphy, I know essentially there are three forms of calligraphy. There's the Western, the Arabic, and there is the Oriental. So let's talk about calligraphy. First of all, who wants to explain and talk about calligraphy? I love calligraphy, but I really must let Ornana talk about it. She is actually a certified calligraphy teacher and a master of calligraphy. And I needed you two months ago. I was looking for a calligraphy. You know, you can't find them. Thank you so much, Sharon, for the great opportunity to share a little on Dao calligraphy and the power, the significance of why it's so special. So let me just give you a little bit of an introduction. So Dao calligraphy is actually an art that was only in the last Chinese Qing dynasty was only taught to the royal families. It was a very sacred art form. And the teacher at that time had taught Professor Li, which then became the teacher of Dr. and Master Ji Gang Sha. So she had only passed on to one person who was the teacher, Dr. and Master Ji Gang Sha, because her heart was so touched by his great will to serve humanity through his love, through his compassion, through his humanitarian work. She was so inspired at that moment that she at that time said she would never reveal the secret of this most sacred ancient art form of Dao calligraphy. But his work touched her heart so much. And so she passed on this tradition to teacher, Master Sha, which is now taking Dao calligraphy and helping humanity and the earth to become more uplifted through the positive messages of love. So here we have displayed on this calligraphy is greatest love because love melts all blockages, transforms all aspects of life, including one's health, one's relationships, one's finances, intelligence. Every aspect of our life needs love. And so through the positive messages that he creates through the Dao calligraphy art, it has the power to uplift the human consciousness and the spirit so that the heart, mind, and body can receive the greatest benefits and greatest transformation for one's life. And so this beautiful art that he's now sharing around the world, so he's taught this calligraphy. Now I've been a student with calligraphy for about four years now, and he has students, you mean in Europe, in Australia, in Canada, in all the different backgrounds, different cultures are now learning how to become Dao calligraphy messengers or practitioners so that we can carry this positive messages and bring this love and this light to all beings. So it's just been a wonderful way that I've been empowered to serve. Actually Diane is also one of the students and she's absolutely a phenomenal student as well, her dedication and her love, her sincerity when she creates calligraphies, absolutely fabulous and to see the transformation in Diane and how I've seen through all the students where they started in the beginning and then over just the course of time how I've seen the evolution of their writing transform, how their life began to transform, their relationships were harmony, their business career, things begin to really evolve because the calligraphy is helping us to remove our blockages. And I can give you a concrete example. I just love, I mean I was just in awe of the beautiful form that you're creating in words, go ahead Diane. So when Master Shaw first taught calligraphy we went to Toronto and that was in June four years ago as Elena mentioned and I had recently become a widow, my husband passed in February of that year. So I went to this calligraphy workshop his first ever in in June so you know just few months and as a widow I could not accept, I suppressed everything, I was numb. Yes. But when I went to the calligraphy workshop I could barely write, I could barely concentrate on anything but being with the calligraphy because it has a positive message and we were learning at that time the word dow, dow is the way of all life, everything exists in the dow, the good, the bad, the happy, the sad and it brings you into balance. So one word dow and that's all I did was trace it. I could not even write it because I didn't have the focus as a recent widow and just by attending that calligraphy workshop the hole in my heart that I didn't want to feel started to open, my heart started to open and I could slowly feel the feelings come back and the positivity in my life. That is the power of calligraphy. This is a very special calligraphy, it's a healing calligraphy. Sure. Well tell us a little bit about Dowl Academy or Dowling Healing Center. The Dowl Academy is a wonderful academy where we were certified as teachers so there's many different certification courses that you can take so depending on your interest they have certifications for song or dance, this is your field for calligraphy, for learning beautiful writing, also for soul communication, for opening spiritual channels so there's many different programs that you can join according to your interests or your hobbies or your passion and academy offers a range of these courses that you can participate in. Well that's wonderful. Well I'm excited because I received an invitation, you know you are invited to a Dowl Calligraphy Exhibition and Demonstration with Dr. and Master Z. Gong Chao. Diane tell me about this, it's coming up soon. You know because we're talking about the art a picture is worth a thousand words so let's let's see the video. Okay. It's a perfect time to see the video and people on the viewers can experience it. All right let's watch the video. So maybe you need to tell us a little bit about what's going on, I seem like we can't hear the sound. Okay so Dr. and Master Z. Gong Chao, he is trained in many ancient disciplines including as you saw Tai Chi here, Chi Gong, Feng Shui, Yi Qing and he's not only trained in TCM traditional Chinese medicine, he's also a doctor of western medicine but he also was a very powerful acupuncture doctor and one of the techniques that he had was he was able to help people regain their hearing ability through a very long technique of this very long needle and he had this very technique that could help people to regain hearing but through the power of all of the modalities that he was trained there, there he's now taking all that he has learned and bridging all of that with the Tao calligraphy healing art beyond art as you're seeing in these masterpieces they all carry positive information and transformations for one's life and it can really again help us as I shared to clear through our own stuff our own blockages that are no longer serving us in our life maybe we have negative mindsets on something or maybe we have you know bad attitudes but it's really helping us to carry more positivity into our life so that we can then become a better servant because really this is really what the purpose of our life is he shares that in one sentence the purpose of life is to make others happy and healthy well tell us the date that's just beautiful Diane let's talk about the location the date four seasons do I need

greatest love i'm looking at this beautiful book greatest love is just gorgeous heart and soul series we actually brought that book for you because you are a love messenger greatest love as we see in the calligraphy behind us okay explain this about that also the calligraphy of greatest love in the book that you can also use they say um there's 30 minute practices that you can do to unblock any aspect of your life so let's say you have a relationship challenge i mean who doesn't have one relationship that causes them a little stress in their life you can use some of these very simple practices very easy to do um turning to the calligraphy you can ask the calligraphy as you trace calligraphy and you can use some sound power greatest love to help you to remove the blockage in that relationship that is causing some stress or despair or anxiety and many people around the world have shared such heart-touching amazing stories of how the power of calligraphy is helping one to maintain great health and wellness and happiness and you know it's interesting that you turn to this chapter on page 52 and thank you for this gift and it says health self healing for anger and right now in our world oh yes we have so much anger going on so i think everyone who sees this show needs to purchase this book thank you for my gift this is your gift we're so delighted to share that with you so tell us about this gorgeous piece behind us so this gorgeous piece as you shared Sharon was created by doctor and master ji gong and it is created in in the power of one g one energy one breath where the Tao calligraphy artist never ever lifts the brush off the paper to just the power of energy and flow as you're gathering from the highest source that frequency and vibration comes through the calligraphy artist like a conduit and goes to the paper to create these beautiful positive messages which creates great life transformational healing rejuvenation more harmony more energy for one's life so would you like to do a practice yes okay so um so we have shared that the power of Tao calligraphy when you trace it so let's say all of the people who are watching you take your five fingers and why do you want to take five fingers is because the five fingers represents the five elements in traditional Chinese medicine what are the five elements you have the wood element the fire element the metal element the water element and the earth element when you put the five fingers together this is a whole body healing and rejuvenation for your whole body your organs your systems every part of your being becomes filled with the nourishment of greatest love the frequency and vibration that can then radiate into your own so hard mind and body so let us let us do a practice all right let's do it put your five fingers together all right okay and i'm just going to show you the pathways are very simple okay so you're just going to go up and you're going to come down down here and around and down and that means great right and then this is the love and you just follow the pathway because it's written in one stroke the reason why we have challenges is because there's a misalignment between the soul heart mind and body and this is bringing us back to one it is bringing us back to source it is bringing us back to creation where there's no more blockages only the purity of love and so this is the pathway so maybe those on the line maybe want to create an intention so why don't we just take a moment maybe there's something in your life you want to create a more flourishing for it could be your finances maybe your career maybe you're looking for a job maybe it's a relationship health you know if you have body pain aches or pains just focus the love in that part of your body okay so pick one area that's one area that you would like to focus because love carries the message that can help us to unblock that challenge or that energetic blockage there okay you got it got it all right trace the book because you're going to trace the book okay and the viewers on the line will trace with me so we're just connect with greatest love the five fingers and we're going to use the sound power greatest love what you chant is what you become and we're going to become the power of greatest love for that intention that you have just requested for all right all right so together greatest love greatest love greatest love greatest love greatest love greatest love to rejuvenate and heal the intention of your request and the more you chant the more you receive the benefits so we just did two minutes here you know the show is not too long love is healing and i just think if more people i think that more people do not tell each other how much they love i don't say i'm in love with you i just love something about you yes you know i just love how you speak i love how you smile i love how you cook yes the appreciation and the gratitude goes a long way oh my goodness and when it's unconditional love you love someone you don't like oh yes it works it works it works love several you don't like i have a relationship issues and i just give love i
