Sarita Vasquez, don Miguel's mother, was a very
powerful faith healer. Sarita taught that any miracle, large or
small, takes place by the simple act of faith to believe that it
can. For more than seven decades Sarita achieved healings thought
beyond the realm of traditional medicine.
Sarita learned the ancient ancestral wisdom
in her healing from her grandfather, don Esiquio,
Sarita passed this wisdom on to her youngest son Miguel, knowing
that don Miguel would do a great service to the world by sharing
the wisdom that teaches the value of living a life of love and happiness.
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.
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.
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.
In February of 2002, don Miguel survived a near-fatal heart attack.
The impact of the heart attack on his physical body prevents him
from returning to wide-spread public speaking and lecturing. He
intends to complete several, limited appearances, each year.
When he knew that he could not return to public touring, don Miguel
turned to his son, don Jose Luis, and witnessed the passage of a young
man into the new Nagual in the Eagle-Knight lineage; Don Jose.
Don Jose Ruiz was born in Mexico City, Mexico and
was raised in Tijuana, Mexico. When he was 21 he came to live in the
U.S. with his father, don Miguel Ruiz. From a very young age don Jose
was guided by many teachers present in his life including, his mother
and father, his grandmother Sarita, and several other Naguals.
Through masterful guidance by his teachers and amazing life experiences
with precision synchronicity, Jose came to 'silent knowledge'; he
witnessed the world as it is, without any story. In his early twenties,
don Jose lost his eyesight. In his process of surrendering, he learned
the value of learning to listen; to listen to his inner wisdom and
integrity and to see different perspectives, while knowing nothing
is personal. He had a renewed love and gratitude for life ~ and he
found acceptance, happiness and abundance; he found bliss. He grasped
a true understanding of faith, love, gratitude and humility. Through
his surrender and faith, in concert with modern medicine Jose recovered
his eyesight.
Like his father, combining new insights with ancient wisdom, don Jose
Ruiz is dedicating his life to sharing the ancient Toltec wisdom by
translating it into practical, everyday life concepts that promote
transformation through truth, love and common sense.
Don Jose teaches and lectures across the United States and around
the world: Power Journeys to the pyramids of Teotihuacan, Palenque,
Tulum and Coba; workshops with guest don Miguel or other teachers
at Omega NY, Austin, and Vancouver. Don Jose is currently writing
his first book.
At the age of 14, Don Miguel Jr. apprenticed to his father don Miguel Sr. and his grandmother, Madre Sarita. From that early age,
he was called upon to translate Madre Sarita's prayers, lectures and workshops from Spanish into English. In this way,
through constant repetition and review, he learned the content of her teachings in both languages.
Through interpreting for Madre Sarita, Don Miguel Jr. came to understand the power of faith. He saw first-hand how she
manifested her intent to heal people, both physically and spiritually.
Don Miguel Jr.'s apprenticeship lasted 10 years. When he reached his mid-20's, his father intensified his training. At the apex
of this power journey Don Miguel said to his eldest son, "Find your way out. Go home and master Death by becoming alive."
For the past six years, Don Miguel Jr. has applied the lessons learned from his father and grandmother to define and enjoy his
own personal freedom while achieving peace with all of creation.
Today, Don Miguel Jr. is married and has two young children. And so, as a Nagual (shaman) he begins once again to pass along the
wisdom and the tools of his family's traditions in helping others to achieve their own personal freedom and optimal physical
and spiritual health.
