Summary: So disappointed-a total waste of time
Comment: I was so excited to get this book and see that there was a free CD of healing music inside! But let me tell you right now, the first thing you need to do is throw away the CD, then throw away the book - don't even pass it along to someone else because it could hurt them more than help them.
This book and author parade as self help and spiritual philosophy, and i am very open and interested in new ideas and this sort of thing, but this book and author are not helpful nor spiritual. I can't believe it was on the New York Times Bestseller list!!! What kind of politics, money, or sex happened there???
The CD is like the book, beautiful on the outside but jarring to listen to. There is the lovely piano and string ensemble lulling you to a gentle state, then this nerve wracking fingernails-on-chalkboard kind of voice comes in to sing over and over and over the same la-la-las. Just awful is too kind. Just trash it is better.
The book appears wonderful on the outside, but the inside is just as jarring. Nothing new and something scary with the author trying to make us believe that we can tap into the divine and plug in to downloads for healing. Not the kind of launguage one should be looking for if seeking spiritual wisdom and knowledge.
The author seemed to be pushing his personal "follow me" beliefs whereas true spiritual teachers say don't follow me, follow god or your heart etc. Personal attention seeking and pandering just did not fit well with what I thought I was getting.

Summary: So-So -- Others have done it better
Comment: A holistic, soul and mind-oriented approach is always attractive to me, but I especially like when writers can translate it into practical, tangible activities one can do to expand mind and soul. I think Dr. Sha could have done so much more to accomplish this effectively than he has in his book.
There were a number of points at which the book felt longwinded and redundant.
At the same time, I appreciate what he has tried to do, and there are a number of points where he has been able to satisfactorily explain a more mind-body approach. But others, like Eckhart Tolle -- Practicing the Power of Now: Essential Teachings, Meditations, and Exercises from The Power of Now -- have done it far better than Dr. Sha.

Summary: Powerful life changing wisdom
Comment: Unless one gets past reading this book with judgment and cynicism, they have not passed first base. The overall message is for the reader to get in touch with their soul, the source of true wisdom. Mind is where judgment and suspicion arise, while the soul has the power to transcend logical thinking. It is essential to follow through with the exercises in the book to really understand the evolvement possible. The basic message of the book is to get in touch with your soul, love, learn to receive guidance from it and get out of the way to let it transform your life. The secondary message from this writer is that if we all get to know and live from our soul, then this world can live in peace and harmony.

Summary: Powerful spiritual guidance, but not a fast read
Comment: Dr. Zhi Gang Sha, a New York Times best-selling author, as well as a physician, doctor of Chinese medicine, and spiritual teacher offers powerful secrets for healing and spiritual growth in "Soul Wisdom."
If you are already a follower of the doctor, you will certainly want to buy this volume and keep it by your bedside. It is not a book you will skim through quickly. It is written in a dense, circular style to encourage a slow, meditative reading. You will certainly nead to read some of the sections more than once.
The book introduces ways to allow the individual soul to heal the body and to join with other souls to heal the earth and universe.
Specific techniques introduced in the book include soul language and translation, soul song, soul movement, soul tapping, and soul dance. Dr. Sha repeatedly emphasizes the healing power of love, gratitude, forgiveness, and selfless service.
To familiarize yourself with Dr. Sha, his other books, and the history of his healing calling, visit http://www.drsha.com/
Note: This is not the usual self-help volume that can be read in a couple of hours. It requires concentration and practice for full benefit. Also, if the idea of reincarnation is antithetical to your religious belief system, Soul Wisdom is probably not for you.

Summary: A fine addition for any New Age library
Comment: SOUL WISDOM: PRACTICAL SOUL TREASURES TO TRANSFORM YOUR LIFE is packaged with a bonus 'soul song' cd and comes from an internationally acclaimed Soul Master, healer and author who discusses tapping into the soul to transform consciousness. From chants to evoke and tap into 'soul language' to translating discoveries and experiencing divine joy, this is a fine addition for any New Age library.
