Ep8. Spirituality and Chasing Butterflie...

Erika Welch
About this episode

In this special episode, I had the privilege of sitting down with the extraordinary Daniel Li Ox—a QiGong Master, ordained Zen Buddhist monk, and the visionary founder of ZenCleanz, a line of powerful fermented detoxification enzymes designed to support fasting and healing. With over five decades of exploring life as a student of ancient wisdoms, Chinese medicine, and spirituality, Daniel brings a playful yet profound perspective to the table.

Our conversation was full of surprises and profound insights. Daniel’s childlike curiosity and deep humility left me utterly enchanted. He reminded me that the path of a spiritual warrior doesn’t have to be weighed down by solemnity; instead, we can walk it with light-heartedness and joy. Together, we explored themes of stagnation, personal growth, and what it means to keep the “bubbles in our champagne” alive—a metaphor for staying vibrant and connected to our passions.

Daniel also shared his belief in the transformative power of grounding, and how spiritual practices can help us feel more deeply, process emotions, and transform energy in this lifetime. His insights are as practical as they are profound, delivered with his signature cheeky humor and openness.

Whether you’re curious about QiGong, intrigued by the idea of fasting for healing, or simply seeking pearls of wisdom from a true seeker, this episode offers it all. Tune in for a journey through spirituality, self-discovery, and the art of staying vibrant on the winding path of life.
