This was definitely an interesting read. I know that many of the spiritual self-help books seem to just gloss over the same information again and again. I really felt that this book provided some great insights into how you can remove blockages in my life.
As one who is open to learning about many paths to the Divine, I felt that this was a book that helps you to learn how to open up to the Divine in yourself and in your life.
There were great hints and tips along the way. Plus tons of great mantras to repeat for each soul house (chakra).
If you get the hard cover copy of the book, you also get a DVD that contains Master Sha chanting the various mantras and performing the various mudras. This helps out so you can know whether or not you are pronouncing them correctly.
The videos are also available on Master Sha’s youtube channel. He also has various daily goings on at his website that everyone (whether you read his books or not) is welcome to participate. Some are free, while others are not.
Modern society has come to embrace various aspects of the Chinese culture from Ying Ying to Feng Shui. Dr. & Master Zhi Gang Sha writes in his latest book Tao Song & Tao Dance: Sacred Sound, Movement, and Power from the Source for Healing, Rejuvenation, Longevity, and Transformation of All Life how to apply the principles of Taoism to your life. His asserts that “when we find a path to harmony with the universe, everything else in our lives will flow.” This is Master Sha's 9th book in his Soul Power Series. The goal of these books and Master Sha's “total life mission is to transform the consciousness of humanity and all souls in the universes, and enlighten them, in order to create love, peace, and harmony for humanity, Mother Earth, and all universes.” Master Sha states that “the Divine and Tao are downloading their soul treasures to readers as they read these books. Every book in the Soul Power Series will include Divine or Tao Soul Downloads that have been preprogrammed. When you read the appropriate paragraphs and pause for a minute, divine gifts will be transmitted to your soul.” Further, soul power “can heal, prevent illness, rejuvenate, prolong life, and transform consciousness and every aspect of life, including relationships and finances. The power of the soul is vital to serving humanity and Mother Earth during this transition period. The power of soul will awaken and transform the consciousness of humanity and all souls.” Master Sha describes numerous events in which the Divine has spoke to him directly. In one instance, the Divine spoke to him during a workshop in Toronto and asked him to heal an attendant named Walter who suffered from liver cancer. The Divine instructed Walter to chant the following two or more hours each day: Divine Liver Soul Software heals me. Divine Liver Soul Software heals me. Divine Liver Soul Software heals me. Five years later Walter attended another workshop with Master Sha and reported his cancer was healed. In this edition it is explained that Tao Song is the sound from the heart and the soul of the Source: “Tao is the Source. Tao is the creator of countless planets, stars, galaxies, and universes. Tao is the creator of Heaven and Mother Earth. Tao is The Way of all life. Tao is the universal principles and law.” It is further explained that each soul has a song (and, note, that all things in the world have a soul—humans, animals, rocks, trees, even inanimate objects) and a dance—the movement from our soul. Accessing these, or enacting them, releases powers to heal, rejuvenate, and transform all areas of our life including health, weather, and relationships. The power only increases with practice and training of these sacred songs and dances. The more enlightened (positive) our energy is the more positive energy we emit to the world around us. Chant San San Jiu Liu Ba Yao Wu out loud to bring out your soul language: sahn sahn jeo leo bah yow woo sahn sahn jeo leo bah yow woo sahn sahn jeo leo bah yow woo over and over, faster and faster to help your soul language develop and strengthen. Soul language carries soul frequency and vibration with soul love forgiveness, compassion, and light which can transform your mind, body, systems, organs, and cells. Tao Song and Tao Dance helps the reader sit and stand properly for optimal energy flow, hand positions for various prayers and chants. It discusses chants to help create more positive karma and to effect certain chakras within the body. For any problem that you may be experiencing, Master Sha provides a Soul song to help your problem. In addition, with the DVD that is included with this book, Master Sha shows dances that will help amplify the songs. Tao dance is guided by the Source not one's mind. Soul Dance carries soul frequency and vibration with soul love forgiveness, compassion, and light which can transform your mind, body, systems, organs, and cells.
MY OPINION I am a strong Christian who views and understands the world in terms of Christianity. However, I have a background in New Age religions and spirituality. I understood the general ideas behind the series of this book, though find it inapplicable to my own life. I also found some of it quite ridiculous, specifically, Master Sha's story about how the Divine (aka God) instructed a random man to chant about software healing him. I feel this instance made Master Sha sound foolish and implausible. However, for one that follows the Eastern ways of spirituality and though, one that understands the world through Taoism , this book will be exciting and energizing. I enjoy any book that is instructive and life-changing, which, if you follow this path, I'm sure it certainly will be.
The Tao Song Tao Dance book is currently the greatest treasure of all life! The frequency and vibration of this book, the teachings in it and the Tao blessings are such incredibly high frequency. Love & joy simply radiate out of every page when you read this book! Such amazing beauty! The teachings of Tao Dance & the oneness practice in the Tao Dance chapter totally transported me into another realm, complete emptiness and connection with the Dao. Remember to do the practice when you read the chapter! All the practices in this book provide a full workshop like a live one, the whole chapter 3 covers a great opportunity for practice with Master Sha. The DVD makes learning these new Tao mantras so easy, not to mention it is such a privilege to practice with Master Sha. We receive so many blessings by doing that.
My own signing voice has completely transformed by Master Sha's teachings and the Divine services he offers in his books. I first opened my Soul Song by reading the Soul Wisdom book and then received much transformation by the practices and the mantras in the Divine Soul Song book. These Tao mantras are immensely powerful, so much more than all other mantras before. They truly have the power to transform one's health and every aspect of life and to transform one's frequency and vibration to much much greater level. There really is nothing similar to this in my experience.
Master Sha's personal story and sharing how he first opened his Soul Language was so heart touching. His honesty and sincerity is so humbling. We are so much better off today and have it so much easier because of his pioneering work and the blessings he is now able to offer for us due to his hard work, dedication and commitment.
The frequency and vibration of Tao Song is very healing and transforming. The feedback I receive from others is amazing. It goes directly to person's heart because of its frequency is way above logical mind. I'm very grateful to Tao Dance. The teachings about Soul Dance and now Tao Dance have always touched my heart and soul deeply. When I practice Tao Dance, I go into deep emptiness and connection that I don't experience otherwise. I simply love it!
I cannot wait to share this book with others. All the teachings and practices are so easy that it is so exciting to share them with others. I'm very grateful for this book, these teachings and Master Sha for bringing this all to us at this moment in time.
This is a beautiful (visually & content-wise) book that everyone needs to read, even if you don’t believe in this type of thing. It is one of those types of books that nurtures the soul while you are reading it. In Tao Song and Tao Dance Master Sha teaches all of humanity to chant, sing and dance using the power of the soul and the power of Tao in order to boost energy, heal, prevent sickness, rejuvenate and transform every aspect of life.
