Don Miguel Ruiz, The Four Agreements – The First Agreement “The first agreement is: Be impeccable with your word. It sounds very simple, but it is extremely powerful. Why your word? Your word is the power that you have to create. Your word is the gift that comes directly from God. The Gospel of John, […]
This is one of my favorite fairy tales that supports the archetype of the Wise Man within us. Enjoy it! “In a village, there lived a very poor old man. Yet even kings envied him, for he owned a magnificent white horse. Many offered him extravagant sums of money, but the old man always refused, […]
by the author of the book “The Power of Now” Eckhart Tolle: “The pain that you create now is always some form of non-acceptance, some form of unconscious resistance to what is.

I recommend this book! Its author, Don Miguel Ruiz, has a gift for writing in a way that inspires us to change our lives for the better. He was born in Mexico into a family of healers. His mother was a curandera (healer) and his grandfather a nagual (shaman). Early in his life, he had […]
Don Miguel Ruiz, The Four Agreements: “We do not see the truth because we are blind. We are blinded by all those false beliefs in our minds. We feel the need to be right and to make others wrong. We trust what we believe, and our beliefs condemn us to suffering. It is as if […]
From the book by Don Miguel Ruiz, The Four Agreements: “Just as the government has laws that govern the collective dream, our beliefs are the code that governs our individual dream.
