About Don Miguel Ruiz

Born 1952 · Mexican

Don Miguel Ángel Ruiz Macías, known as Don Miguel Ruiz, is a Mexican author and spiritual teacher. Born in rural Mexico in 1952, he grew up in a family of healers and shamans, with his mother being a curandera and his grandfather a nagual. Despite this background, he initially pursued a career in modern medicine, training as a surgeon. A near-fatal car accident prompted him to shift his focus from science to the study of ancient Toltec wisdom. He apprenticed with a shaman and dedicated himself to sharing the teachings of the ancient Toltec tradition. His work primarily focuses on personal transformation, self-help, and spiritual philosophy, drawing from the spiritual heritage of his ancestors. Ruiz's writings explore concepts of perception, belief systems, and the path to personal freedom. He emphasizes the importance of awareness and the power of agreements we make with ourselves and others.

Notable works: The Four Agreements, The Mastery of Love, The Voice of Knowledge, The Fifth Agreement, The Toltec Art of Life and Death, The Circle of Fire

Best Don Miguel Ruiz quotes

“Sois impeccable avec ta parole.”

Cette phrase est le premier et le plus fondamental des quatre accords. Elle souligne l'importance de la conscience et de l'intégrité dans la communication, car les mots ont un pouvoir créateur et destructeur immense, façonnant notre réalité et celle des autres.

From Les 4 accords tolteques
“N'en fais jamais une affaire personnelle.”

Le deuxième accord enseigne que les actions et les paroles des autres sont le reflet de leur propre rêve et de leurs croyances. Ne pas prendre les choses personnellement libère de la souffrance et du poison émotionnel, permettant de rester immunisé contre les jugements extérieurs.

From Les 4 accords tolteques
“Ne fais aucune supposition.”

Le troisième accord invite à éviter de tirer des conclusions hâtives et à toujours poser des questions pour clarifier. Les suppositions créent des malentendus et des drames inutiles, tandis que la clarté de la communication prévient la souffrance et renforce les relations.

From Les 4 accords tolteques
“Fais toujours de ton mieux.”

Le quatrième accord est un principe d'action qui encourage à donner le meilleur de soi-même à chaque instant, sans jugement. Le "mieux" varie selon les jours, mais l'effort constant apporte la satisfaction et évite les regrets, menant à la maîtrise de soi.

From Les 4 accords tolteques
“Que votre parole soit impeccable.”

Le premier et le plus fondamental des quatre accords, soulignant le pouvoir créateur et destructeur de nos mots.
