Life and ideas

Zhi Gang Sha is an American spiritual teacher, author and lecturer, as well as a prominent alternative medicine advocate. The Seattle PI review of his book, Soul Healing Miracles, says, "He believes that we all have the ability to heal ourselves, to heal others, and to heal the world. Master Sha demonstrates how to use techniques such as chanting, calligraphy, singing, meditating, and specific body positions to unblock energy in our cells and organs to generate self-healing processes in our own body, and to heal others as well."

Sha is a strong promoter of increasingly popular forms of spirituality. He has published 20 books, including ten New York Times bestselling books, including Soul Healing Miracles: Ancient and New Sacred Wisdom, Knowledge, and Practical Techniques for Healing the Spiritual, Mental, Emotional, and Physical Bodies, which has sold more than 300,000 copies since its release in November 2013. His 2014 book, Soul Mind Body Science System, debuted on the Amazon Top 100 Bestseller List.

Sha is the founder of The Chanting Channel, a meditative and chanting space that runs 24-hours per day, 365 days a year to increase healing and mindfulness on an individual and global level.

He was recently a VIP guest speaker of the Agape International Spiritual Center in Los Angeles, offering a "Day of Miracle Soul Healing", featuring the use of powerful healing calligraphy, chanting, soul-guided singing, music and movement. Reverend Michael Bernard Beckwith, founder of Agape International Spiritual Center, one of Oprah Winfrey’s favorite spiritual leaders says of Sha, "I immediately knew that I wanted to support this gifted healer and his mission, so I introduced him to my spiritual community. Ever since, it has been my joy to witness how those who apply his teachings and techniques experience increased energy, joy, harmony, and peace in their lives."

In addition to the support of Agape's founder, Michael Beckwith, luminaries ranging from the bestselling authors Marianne Williamson, John Gray and Wayne Dyer to the NFL quarterback turned sports presenterr Warren Moon, endorse Sha’s teachings. He has appeared on several public television specials including The Power of Soul. His public television series, Soul Healing Miracles with Sha, began on PBS stations across North America in March 2015.

Sha has an M.D. and a degree in traditional Chinese medicine. He is also a grandmaster of Tai Chi, was the lead acupuncturist for the World Health Organization, has been named Qigong Master of the Year and in 2006 was awarded the Martin Luther King Jr. Commemorative Commission Award for his humanitarian efforts. He teaches his patients that chanting mantras in Mandarin Chinese can heal their ailments. He has also claimed to be able to replace organs using a technique he describes as a "soul software download", and practices what he refers to as "soul healings".

Sha's practices have been controversial and their effectiveness has been called into question. An ophthalmologist who examined patients treated by Sha reported that none of their conditions were helped by his methods.

Sha has written twenty-four books, including Zhi Neng Medicine: Revolutionary Self-Healing Methods from China (Zhi Neng Press, 1996), Power Healing: The Four Keys to Energizing Your Body, Mind and Spirit (HarperSanFranciso, 2002), Soul Mind Body Medicine: A Complete Soul Healing System for Optimum Health and Vitality (New World Library, 2006), Living Divine Relationships (Heaven’s Library Publication Corp., 2006), Soul Wisdom I: Practical Soul Treasures to Transform Your Life (Heaven’s Library Publication Corp., 2007), and Soul Communication: Opening Your Spiritual Channels for Success and Fulfillment (Heaven’s Library Publication Corp., 2007).
