Publisher's summary

For generation after generation, Toltec shamans have passed down their wisdom through teaching stories. The purpose of these stories is to implant a seed of knowledge in the mind of the listener, where it can ultimately sprout and blossom into a new and better way of life.

In The Wisdom of the Shamans: What the Ancient Masters Can Teach Us about Love and Life, Toltec shaman and master storyteller Don Jose Ruiz shares some of the most popular stories from his family's oral tradition and offers corresponding lessons that illustrate the larger ideas within each story.

Ruiz begins by explaining that contrary to the stereotypical image of "witchdoctor", the ancient shamans were men and women who fulfilled several roles within their communities: philosopher, spiritual guide, medical doctor, psychologist, and friend.

According to Ruiz, their teachings are not primitive or reserved for a chosen few initiates but are instead a powerful series of lessons on love and life that are available us all. To that aim, he has included exercises, meditations, and shamanic rituals in an effort to help you experience the personal transformation these stories offer.

The shamans taught that the truth you seek is inside of you. Let these stories, lessons, and tools be your guide to finding the innate wisdom that lives within.

a great journey to deep our spiritual powers

The philosophy behind these series of books written by the Ruiz is very refreshing and interesting. As a Spanish speaker I was bothered by the mispronounced words of the Narrator. you don't need to say Spanish words in English accent, you enhance their power if you say then correctly.

UNDERSTANDING|BEYOND|ME

The Understanding of life has always been beyond my understanding. Seeing life for what it is and excepting the idea of being perfect could sometimes be unfamiliar to me. After practicing the reflection part of this book of not judging my appearance, but excepting the truth that I am perfect has change my inner gratitude. This book is simply freeing and a gentle reminder that our perception changes the amount of joy we receive from life.

Another great book!

Great reminders for everyone for creating the dream of heaven on Earth. I love to listen to these books in the car on my daily commute. it makes that time of my day productive and sometimes life-changing.

Everyone should listen to this book multiple times

So much wisdom here. It feels so good to hear the stories. The messages ring true and leave you feeling refreshed, aware and present. just finished the book, and will definitely begin again!
