Don Miguel Ruiz Toltec Wisdom Contributing Expert

Born into a family of healers and raised in rural Mexico, Don Miguel Ruiz was brought up to follow his family’s Toltec ways. The Toltec people were recognized as “people of knowledge” focused on creating a society to explore and conserve the traditional spiritual knowledge and practices of their ancestors. Comprised of scientists and artists, the Toltec people view science and spirit as coming from the same entity and that all energy comes from the universe.

Choosing to pursue allopathic medicine instead of carrying out his family’s century old legacy of healing and teaching, Don Miguel Ruiz attended medical school and became a surgeon.

After surviving a car crash, Don Miguel Ruiz reverted back to his Toltec roots. He and his mother began teaching healing practices to small groups of people in the United States. As the number of his students grew, his mythologies and guidance grew as well. Don Miguel Ruiz began lecturing, healing and teaching throughout California and New Mexico.

Witnessing his students struggle to quiet their minds inspired Don Miguel Ruiz to write the New York Times Best Seller “The Four Agreements: A Practical Guide to Personal Freedom.”

Following “The Four Agreements,” Don Miguel Ruiz wrote “The Mastery of Love” and “The Four Agreements Companion Book.” For over a decade, Don Miguel Ruiz imparted his wisdom through books, audios, workshops and journeys to sacred sites around the world.

Having survived a serious heart attack in 2002, his teachings have been largely through seminars and classes run by his followers, most notably his sons Don Jose Luis and Don Miguel Ruiz Junior.

Favorite Quotes and Thoughts
from Don Miguel Ruiz

  • Death is not the biggest fear we have; our biggest fear is taking the risk to be alive — the risk to be alive and express what we really are.

  • Every human is an artist. The dream of your life is to make beautiful art.

  • Life is like dancing. If we have a big floor, many people will dance. Some will get angry when the rhythm changes. But life is changing all the time.
