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.
" I saw that I existed separate from my body. So I asked myself, if I am not this body, what am I? "
A near death experience in a car accident one night in the late 1970's 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 an intensive practice of self-inquiry. 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 began teaching in the United States, with his mother, the Curandera, Sarita in 1987. He taught small groups of people in a small room in Logan Heights, CA. Working with Sarita, he first began with healing practices. As his knowledge of English grew, he realized that he preferred to share his lineage through oral tradition, rather than a healing tradition.
Don Miguel's students grew in numbers and his mythologies and guidance grew with them. He appeared in lectures in Santa Fe, NM, Los Angeles, CA, Sacramento, CA, Santa Rosa, CA and in many other locales. He began to share the wisdom that resulted in the creation of The Four Agreements, when he witnessed his various students struggling to 'quiet their minds.' Don Miguel created a specific series of practical tools, that when used by anyone, can result in consistent and long-term personal transformation.
