“The transformation illuminated every aspect of life”
Anna Jahns, a student of Dr and Master Zhi Gang Sha goes beyond the widely accepted concept of mind over matter and introduces the realm of soul over matter. She was in the city for a workshop on Soul, Mind, Body healing. Anna shares her experience with Punekar about how she learned this technique and how it transformed her life altogether. Read on to find out more.
What is the Soul, Mind, Body Medicine technique?
Soul Mind Body Medicine is a breakthrough quantum healing system that offers practical ways to optimize health, advance the soul journey and use soul communication to transform every aspect of life.
These Four Power Techniques are the primary self healing tools Dr Sha teaches based on ancient Chinese healing practices. These techniques utilize the power of body postures, sacred healing mantras, the creative visualisation power of the mind and the power of soul.
The Four Power Techniques work by activating the body’s self healing mechanisms and empowers self healing by releasing soul, consciousness and matter blockages, thus allowing energy to flow freely and restore health. This is achieved by influencing the “message,” informing the system with frequencies of light.
How did you first step into the world of spiritual healing?
It all began when my husband made a remarkable recovery from a severe clinical depression two years ago. In fact, the year we met Dr Sha was undoubtedly the worst year of our 12 year marriage. Until my husband became ill, we had always navigated the trials of life, were dedicated to sharing our spiritual path and raising our two children. However, once the illness developed into a clinical depression every aspect of our lives was affected – he was suffering, I was suffering, our business was suffering and the financial consequences fuelled a rapid downward spiral of frustration and discord. We managed, but it was very difficult to keep sight of the meaning of it all. One day a friend suggested we visit Master Sha.
The transformation has illuminated every aspect of life till this day. Many apparent obstacles vanished: light filled our relationship, our family life and our business began flourishing in ways we could have never imagined. We felt such gratitude…and still marvel at how our relationship’s worst year turned into the best year of our marriage!
So we became students of Dr Sha, with the Institute of Soul Healing and Enlightenment, with increasing fascination and enthusiasm to discover and share the power of the soul. During this time, we have witnessed many fellow students who had come to Dr Sha with life threatening and chronic illnesses, disabilities, mental and emotional imbalances, even so called incurable conditions, being healed and transformed into vibrant health and vital healers themselves.
Tell us something about your master Dr Zhi Gang Sha?
Dr Sha is a grandmaster of many ancient disciplines, including Tai Chi, Gi Gong, Feng Shui & the I Ching, and a direct lineage holder of 5,000-year old Buddhist and Taoist secrets. Trained as a Western medical doctor and a doctor of traditional Chinese medicine in China, Dr. Sha is an expert in the most advanced cellular healing science now developing in China and in breakthrough research in the West on the effects of the spirit on the human system. Dr Sha brings the essence of these discoveries to the world as practical self-healing and soul healing techniques. Author of three NY Times bestselling books, including The Power of Soul (soon to be released in India), Dr Sha has been declared by PBS (Public Broadcasting Service) as “one of the most powerful healers of our times,” and was awarded the Martin Luther King Jnr Award for his service to humanity.
You teach people about their inner master or inner self. What is the fulcrum, the heart of your teaching?
The first empowerment is: I have the power to heal myself: you have the power to heal yourself: together we have the power to heal the world!
The heart – and soul – is about offering unconditional universal service – which means that we offer unconditional love, forgiveness, compassion, peace, harmony and blessings to all souls as the key to heal, transform and enlighten all areas of life.
Dr Sha and his senior worldwide representatives have successfully trained hundreds of people worldwide to open their spiritual channels for soul communication. Soul communication allows us to receive information from our own inner souls and teachings from any light being of the Soul World. It is our own direct channel for Divine guidance. Every time we ask for messages, we receive the highest frequency insights for the topics we want to learn about, whether it be for the root cause of an illness or how to transform mind sets, attitudes and beliefs that hinder us on our journey. In this way, we are able to offer even more unconditional service, for when we heal and transform, all the souls connected with us heal and transform!
Apart from physical problems can your healing techniques be used to heal interpersonal as well as emotional drawbacks?
Definitely! Soul communication is a very effective tool for resolving conflicts and finding solutions that we would not otherwise come up with from our logical minds. And of course, when we are oriented towards offering universal service to all souls, we are influencing the “message” of all our relationships, including our business and financial realities. Forgiveness is really a key practice for transformation of relationships.
For our own emotional imbalances, we address the organs that the emotions are connected with. The 5 elements in the body, as described by Traditional Chinese Medicine, are connected with the main organs which are in turn connected with the emotions. The liver corresponds to anger, the heart corresponds to depression, the spleen corresponds with worry, the lungs correspond with grief and the kidneys correspond with fear.
A healthy liver (which is wood element) with balanced soul energy and matter – will fully nourish the soul energy and matter of the heart (the fire element). A healthy heart will nourish the spleen (earth element) which will nourish the lungs (metal) which will nourish the kidneys (water) – and healthy kidneys will nourish the liver!
Can this technique be combined with yoga or other types of healing methods like allopathy or homeopathy for better results?
Absolutely! Soul Mind Body Medicine can be applied in conjunction with any other form of treatment – allopathic or alternative modalities. Activating our own immune systems, raising our energy and frequency, releasing soul mind body blockages to let the energy flow and influencing the messages to create these conditions are in no way contradictory to conventional treatment.
Lothar, a fellow student from Germany, was diagnosed with a 17cm pancreatic cancer in July 2008, which disappeared entirely over an 8 month period. Although Lothar healed himself entirely through applying the Soul Mind Body Medicine techniques, Dr Sha never discourages people from conventional methods of treatment; on the contrary, many think it greatly benefits their recovery to use these techniques together with chemotherapy and other forms of recommended treatment.
Soul Mind Body Medicine is a complementary approach in the sense that often clients with chronic or life threatening conditions reach a point where they fail to progress due to soul blockages and once these are released, they can make significant advancements. Quite often these spiritual blockages can be related to karmic issues and can experience great relief from the Universal Forgiveness Meditation.
Is there a practical mechanism for this or is it just surrendering to Spirit?
There are many “mechanisms” triggered at the levels of mind over matter – and yet here we are entering the realm of soul over matter! We speak of ‘going into the condition’ rather than “just” surrendering to spirit, although this is of course a factor! Soul carries power, intelligence, wisdom, and knowledge to heal and transform life: what we need to do is ask.
How spiritually rewarding is your job as a healer?
I personally find it an extraordinary honour and privilege to participate in the process of people accessing the power of their own souls to heal and transform every aspect of their lives. I am constantly learning, receiving new insights, requesting guidance to benefit myself and others and the messages that come through are extraordinary blessings of the highest frequency. The most touching is to witness that light start shining in someone’s eyes when they realise that they have the power to heal themselves. My own spiritual journey has taken off like a rocket since meeting Master Sha.
When was this method of teaching brought to India and how is it being received by the Indian masses?
My husband and I live in Goa with our two children. We started sharing the practices with our friends, neighbours and colleagues during the days when we only just began our training – we train as we heal and we heal as we offer service to others. People who were surprised at how the transformation affected so many different areas of their lives started bringing their friends to us, so since becoming Certified Soul Healers, we started leading workshops here in Goa, for foreigners and Indians alike. Now there are workshops happening in Goa, Pune, Mumbai, Hyderabad and Delhi. The response is enthusiastic as people often experience the benefits immediately or very soon after and are amazed how powerful something as simple and as joyful as say, singing a Soul Song, can lead to healing.
Sometimes people have difficulty with some of the Chinese sounding mantras, but readily accept them when they actually feel how they vibrate exactly that part of the body and we often experiment with the different sounds in Hindi, English and Chinese.
My husband and I have lived in India for so many years; we have a deep affinity with the culture. We met 14 years ago studying Advaita Vedanta from the renowned Hari L. Poonja. Soul healing works with whatever healing or spiritual paths one is already walking – all traditions and belief systems are honoured and included. In fact, extraordinary progress can happen in developing our energy and raising our frequency to transcend many of the ego issues we struggle with and especially in opening our spiritual channels to receive guidance directly from the Divine and our own personal gurus, guides and mentors in the “Soul World (Subtle Realms).
Since May this year, 10 Indian students have joined the 6 months online Soul Healing Teacher and Healer Internet Tele-class training. Some are health practitioners who are integrating the soul healing techniques with their own complimentary alternative modalities; such as Goa based Reflexologist, Meenakshi Singh, founder of Swayam Wellness Center.
Other participants in the training are from various fields including Reiki, Pranic Healing and Corporate Stress Management. Some students are participating in the training to empower their own healing and transformation to advance their spiritual journey; others are interested to further open their spiritual channels.
What are the future prospects of this technique?
When more number of people experience how powerfully these techniques work, there will be more awareness about the benefits on all levels of existence of accessing the power of our own souls which will lead to its integration into people’s lives all around the world, across India, across all classes. Currently Dr Sha regularly travels to the US, Canada, Europe, Australia and Asia with almost 1,000 Certified Soul Healers and thousands of students worldwide.
We are also looking forward to Dr Sha’s first visit to India in 2010 during his worldwide travels. As a servant of humanity, Dr Sha empowers people in their self healing with Divine Soul “transplants” that he calls “Divine Downloads.” People then practice with these downloads to transform the “message” of their issue or condition. Dr Sha’s recently released book, The Power of Soul will soon be available in paperback in India. In addition to the soul healing and transformation secrets shared within, this book contains valuable information and insight about the current transition humanity is undergoing into the Soul Light Era, which began on August 8, 2003.
Dr Sha’s message is: “heal and transform the soul first: the mind and body will follow.”
How was the response to the workshop which you conducted in the month of June?
Fantastic! I came to Pune for the first time in May 2009 on the invitation of my dear friend, Deepak Montiramani, who introduced me to Sheetal at the Urban Ashram, near Swargate. Sheetal and I instantly connected. I really appreciate his vision and his tender soul. I found the Urban Ashram community to be especially open minded to experimenting with progressive approaches to living wellness in every aspect of life. A few of the participants have since joined the Soul Healing training and the Open Spiritual Channels training coming up in Sept.
I really enjoy the diversity of the people I meet in Pune. From our early morning practice in the forest to a surprisingly delightful evening at Stonewater with Agni, Sheetal and new friends from the Urban Ashram introduced me to many colourful characteristics and facets of Pune life.
What does Anna do when she is not teaching?
Learning, loving, living, sharing with my children, my husband, friends, students, all souls and practicing, practicing and practicing to develop my own foundational energy centres and activating the Divine gifts I have received so I can really be of service to others. What is most humbling about teaching is that one becomes very much aware of how important it is to actually live what one is teaching and I realise there is a lot of purification – releasing of blockages – still to occur in me before I am truly a pure channel of the Divine. I feel totally honoured and blessed to realise that this is in fact what I am here for – to share blessings!
