So-So -- Others have done it better
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.

Questionable Efficacy
I guess this is supposed to be a "New Age" book. To these believers, I give it my recommendation.
While it could be that many readers following Dr. Zhi Ganmg Sha's recommendations in this book may experience some benefit, I have my doubts concerning the efficacy of these specific practices overall. Yes, their may be a calming effect, but I really doubt that the book will
transform
anyone's
life
.
Dr. Sha apparently sees no need to believe in a creator God. But he does concentrate heavily on love as a path to fulfillment. I see no harm in this book except that maybe it doesn't reach high enough. I just believe that readers should know that it is anti-religion and substitutes "mother Earth" for God.
I too am anti-religion - of the organized kind. But I am not anti-God. I am aware that man cannot really understand creation or the creator. But, "Mother Earth" is just a speck in this soler system, which is just a speck in the Milky Way galaxy, which is just a spec among billions or maybe trillions (maybe even more) of other galaxies - in a universe that has no boundaries. Even the greatest of mankind's sciences cannot fathom the total of realty. I sincerely doubt that a "New Age" guru can contribute much to human enlightenment.
People should understand that in the end all biological creatures are truly losers. In life we all experience both agonies and ecstasies. We all die and there are no pockets in a shroud. If creatures are reserected or not, all I know for sure is compassion for all living creatures is appropriate.

Powerful life changing wisdom
I never knew what
soul movement
meant before but I'm glad I know now. It's like having
your
own Tai Chi/Chigong instructor right in your home. Your own soul guides you in the movements if you just let go and get out of the way. And soul singing? Wow, seems strange at first but a real trip. Unless one gets past reading this book without 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 let it heal you and
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.
