![]() ![]() ![]() I chose the Enso name and designed my logo as a symbol of my desire to assist clients with achieving a healthy stress-less life that is grounded in the present to allow them to maximize their potential while living a truly happy life. When we are under stress (physical, mental, emotional, or spiritual) and distracted from the present moment, we lose our connection to our own inner wisdom and our capacity to feel universal interconnectedness. The Enso Healing and Meditation logo integrates the oak tree into the enso symbol to represent the anchoring of ourselves into the present moment which supports our ability to grow and flourish. The oak tree is also symbolic of the Tree of Life which represents our interconnectedness to everything. Oak trees grow slowly and can live for hundreds of years, they are a symbol of stability as their branches stretch as far below ground as the branches do above. The oak tree is an iconic image in the Lowcountry of South Carolina and a symbol of strength and interconnectedness. This allows one to connect to their inner wisdom and strength and is why the enso is a symbol of enlightenment. One must let go of expectations in order to allow their body and spirit to express their innermost self freely. El Nio and La Nia, together called the El Nio Southern Oscillation (ENSO), are episodic departures from expected sea surface temperatures (SSTs) in the equatorial Pacific Ocean. Even though it appears to be a simple variation on a circle, the enso represents much more.Ĭreating an enso is a truly mindful experience as it is an expression of the artist in the present moment. The name Ens is inspired by the Japanese calligraphy of a circle which represents togetherness as well as perfection and imperfection. Introduction The connection between Earth’s oceans and atmosphere has a direct impact on the weather and climate conditions we experience. While the closed circle can represent wholeness or totality, an open circle can represent the beauty of imperfection and the idea that the enso is not something separate but rather part of something greater. The symbol or rising tattoo is often associated with Japan as it is. Artists paint enso as either a closed or open circle. As said earlier, Rising Sun tattoos have a Japanese influence as the sun rises first. It is traditionally painted in black ink wash onto thin white paper as one circular brushstroke, a singular brushstroke allows for no modifications. The enso symbol is a common subject of Japanese calligraphy and Buddhist enlightenment and has other names such as Zen Circle, the Circle of Enlightenment, the Lost Symbol of Reiki, and the Infinity Circle. Enso is a Japanese word meaning “circle” or “circular form”. Therefore, this very nice, authentic Japanese calligraphy wall scroll is a true bargain, and allows you to get "Japanese quality" at an affordable price.I’m frequently asked about the meaning behind the Enso name and logo.

See our Enso Symbol Custom Japanese Wall Scrolls page for more custom options. An Enso is not a character, but rather a symbol influenced by Japanese calligraphy. Therefore, you should let it have the meaning that you perceive. I think the Enso symbol can simply mean different things to different people. The almost completed circle shows there is emptiness both within and outside the circle, and is designed to shows the vastness of the universe and its ultimate power. If you actually took the meanings of the two Kanji that make up the word "Enso", you could read it as "Mutual Circle" or "Circle of Togetherness". The Enso, also known by many other names such as the Infinity Circle, Zen Circle, or the Circle of Enlightenment, is a popular symbol of Buddhism and Japanes. The ENSO symbol is not a Japanese character more a simple piece of artwork that anyone can make or adopt. Some call this "The Circle of Enlightenment". In this case, it can be considered a religious symbol, as it is strongly associated with Japanese Zen Buddhism. It falls more into the category of a symbol. This is Enso, which is really NOT a regular Japanese Kanji character. Close up view of the artwork mounted to this silk brocade wall scroll ![]()
