“Transform the soul first; then transformation of the mind and body will follow.”

• Dr. and Master Zhi Gang Sha

Many people suffer from chronic diseases, acute illness and life-threatening conditions. Others struggle with addictions, depression or a general lack of well-being. Over the last few decades, the mind-body connection has become well-known, which has cleared the path for many advances in health and wellness.

But “mind over matter” is not enough, says Dr. and Master Zhi Gang Sha, author of The Power of Soul and six other bestselling books: for him, the most important breakthrough in healing for the 21^st century is soul over matter. “Western medicine views biochemical changes in the body as the cause of illness. I respect Western medicine. I am an MD (in China) and a doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine (Canada). But in my personal opinion,” he explains, “all illness and dis-ease originate from energy and spiritual blockages. The root cause of most issues is spiritual. And so, it is at the soul level that all true healing and life transformation begin. Heal the soul first; then, healing of the mind and body will follow.”

An extraordinary healer steeped in Buddhist and Taoist wisdom since earliest childhood, Master Sha teaches that everyone and everything in the universe has a soul: not only human beings but Mother Earth as well – each tree, each river, each flower, and all the stars, and all the universes both large and small. In this sense, he explains, each cell has a soul, each organ, each system of the body … and all are responsive to the healing vibration of love. “The soul loves to serve and has great healing capabilities,” he adds. “And so, you can simply request the SOUL to heal itself.”

One way to do this is with a technique Master Sha calls “Say Hello healing,” whereby you “say hello” to the small golden being within you – your soul or your Inner Child if you prefer – and ask your soul to use its own deep healing wisdom to heal, transform and rejuvenate your physical, mental, emotional or spiritual body, as well as your finances and relationships.

You can use this simple but extremely powerful technique to improve your health and to boost your stamina and vitality, explains Master Sha. With the “Say Hello Healing” you call on the soul of your organs, systems, cells, DNA and RNA to offer a healing blessing. For example, if you suffer from back pain, say “Dear the soul of my back, I love you. Could you offer a healing to my back? You have the power to heal yourself. Do a good job. Thank you.” Say Hello Healing is simple and to the point. You say hello, express your love and appreciation and make a request. According to Master Sha, “this technique may seem too simple for you to believe. All I ask is that you keep an open mind and try it a few times.”

Master Sha’s advanced healing gifts are the outcome of a life of unconditional service. In 2006, he was honored with the Martin Luther King Jr. Commemorative Commission Award for his humanitarian efforts. In 2010, he founded the global Love Peace Harmony Movement to create love, peace and harmony for humanity and the universe.
