Don Miguel Ruiz

The tools shared by don Miguel are based on common sense and shared with such simplicity, that the universal message underlying his teaching is recognized by many. don Miguel's message is simple, practical and when implemented, even incrementally, changes lives.

In the tradition of the Toltec, a Nagual guides an individual to personal freedom. Combining new insights with old wisdom, don Miguel has dedicated his life to sharing the ancient Toltec wisdom by translating it into practical concepts that promote transformation through truth and common sense.

Don Miguel Ruiz was born into a family of healers, and raised in rural Mexico by a curandera (healer) mother and a nagual (shaman) grandfather. The family anticipated that Miguel would embrace their centuries-old legacy of healing and teaching, and carry forward the esoteric Toltec knowledge. Instead, distracted by modern life, Miguel chose to attend medical school and become a surgeon. A near-death experience changed his life. Stunned by this experience, he began an intensive practice of self-inquiry. He devoted himself to the mastery of the ancient ancestral wisdom, studying earnestly with his mother, and completing an apprenticeship with a powerful shaman in the Mexican desert. In the tradition of the Toltecs, a nagual guides an individual to personal freedom. Don Miguel is a nagual from the Eagle Knight lineage, and is dedicated to sharing his knowledge of the teachings of the ancient Toltecs. He is the author of The Four Agreements, The Mastery of Love, The Four Agreements Companion Book, and THE TOLTEC ART OF LIFE AND DEATH (COMING OCTOBER 27TH, 2015, FROM HARPERELIXIR).

“Mi možemo govoriti o ljubavi i o njoj napisati tisuću knjiga, ali ljubav će bitisasvim drukčija za svakoga od nas, jer je moramo iskusiti. U ljubavi nije riječ onačelima, nego o djelima. Ljubav na djelu može stvarati samo sreću. Strah nadjelu može stvarati samo patnju.”

“The real you is still a little child who never grew up. Sometimes that little child comes out when you are having fun or playing, when you feel happy, when you are painting, or writing poetry, or playing the piano, or expressing yourself in some way. These are the happiest moments of your life - when the real you comes out, when you don't care about the past and you don't worry about the future. You are childlike.”

“We are so well trained that we are our own domesticator. We are an autodomesticated animal. We can now domesticate ourselves according to the same belief system we were given, and using the same system of punishment and reward. We punish ourselves when we don't follow the rules according to our belief system; we reward ourselves when we are the "good boy" or "good girl".”

“Започнете да работите върху прошката, започнете да прощавате. Отначало ще бъде трудно, но след това ще се превърне в навик. Единственият начин да възстановите способността си да прощавате е да започнете отново да прощавате. Практикувайте все повече и повече и накрая ще откриете дали можете да простите и на себе си. В един момент разбирате, че трябва да простите на себе си за всички тези рани, за цялата емоционална отрова, която сте създали за себе си. Когато си простите, себеприемането и любовта към себе си започват да нарастват. Това е върховната прошка когато простите на себе си.”

You will find that you don't need to trust others as much as you need to trust yourself to make the right choices.”

This leads to self pity, suffering and tears.”
