TITLE:
Toward True
Self-expression
GUEST:
Ayako Satō
|
|
Courses in "Personal Performance" have become popular recently. Such studies have the objective of helping learners find something good within themselves and express that as precisely as possible. Ayako Satō studied this in the United States and now, as a lecturer and author of 116 books, has become the first to introduce this area of study to Japanese speakers. About the time she received her doctorate, however, her mother passed away. During the following time of shock, a Christian friend who lived nearby invited her to church. In this program, we visit her at her office and she talks about her faith and about a new stage of Personal Performance activities that she's about to embark upon.

TITLE: An Encounter with Aromatherapy
GUEST: Yoshimi Maejima
|
|
This
week's
guest,
Yoshimi
Maejima,
is
currently
working
as a
professional
"aromatherapist"
at a
women's
clinic
in
Yamanashi
Prefecture
--
the
first
clinic
in
Yamanashi
to
offer
aromatherapy
treatment
to
patients.
However,
four
years
ago,
she
says,
the
future
seemed
so
bleak
that
she
could
not
have
even
imagined
her
life
today.
At
that
point,
two
life-changing
encounters
occurred
and
eventually
brought
her
to
the
place
where
she
can
now
say
that
all
that
happened
before
was
not
in
vain.
In
this
program
we
talk
with
her
about
aroma
therapy
and
about
how
she
came
to
faith
in
Christ. |
