The Mastery of Love illuminates the fear-based assumptions that undermine love and lead to suffering and drama in our relationships. Using insightful stories to bring his message to life, Don Miguel Ruiz shows us how to heal our emotional wounds, recover the freedom and joy that are our birthright, and restore the spirit of playfulness that is vital to loving relationships.

Don Miguel Ruiz

Don Miguel Ruiz was born into a family of healers and raised in rural Mexico by a curandera (healer) mother and nagual (shaman) grandfather. The family anticipated don Miguel would embrace their centuries old legacy of healing and teaching and as a nagual, carry forward the esoteric Toltec knowledge. Instead, distracted by modern life, don Miguel chose to attend medical school and later teach and practice as a surgeon.
A near death experience brought his wake-up call." I saw that I existed separate from my body. So I asked myself, if I am not this body, what am I?" Don Miguel's survival allowed him the opportunity to begin freeing himself from his limiting belief system. He devoted himself to the mastery of the ancestral wisdom by studying intensely with his mother and completing an apprenticeship with a powerful shaman in the Mexican desert. His grandfather, who had since passed on, continued to teach him in his dreams.

Don Miguel's work has evolved in preparation for the recent emergence of the Sixth Sun of the Mayan Calendar, prophesied by the ancients to be an extraordinary period of personal and planetary change. In the tradition of the Toltec, a nagual guides an individual to personal freedom. Combining new insights with old wisdom, don Miguel teaches that the path to personal freedom is the first step of a progression. The ultimate goal is to change the collective dream of the planet.
