Living A Life Of Awareness with don Miguel Ruiz & don Miguel Ruiz Jr.



Awareness is a communion with the environment we are living in, as well as the communion with ourselves, as it is in the present moment. It is this awareness that allows us the opportunity to detach from the distorted filters of conditional love, and once again engage life with the potential of unconditional love.

Best Selling Authors and Nationally Recognized Toltec Naguals, don Miguel Ruiz and don Miguel Ruiz Jr. to Visit CSLCV Aug. 1



Be impeccable with your word.

Don't take anything personally.

Don't make assumptions.

Always do your best.

Four simple suggestions to live the life of your dreams, put out into the world by a Mexico-born medical doctor who turned to the Toltec healing ways of his mother after discovering that healing was more mental and spiritual than physical.

Don Miguel Ruiz's ground-breaking book, The Four Agreements, touched so many lives as it resided on the New York Times Best Seller list for 7 years. It didn't take long for healing the world with Totlec ideas became the family business and his sons, don Miguel Ruiz Jr. and don Jose Ruiz, began sharing, writing and speaking.

Recently, don Miguel Ruiz Jr. released his book, Living a Life of Awareness, that takes his family's wisdom and breaks it down into a 60-day program featuring meditations for releasing fears and old beliefs and creating a life worthy of our dreams.

Ruiz Jr. will offer this wisdom as well as practical ways to live the Toltec path at the Center for Spiritual Living Capistrano Valley on August 1 joined by his father Ruiz Sr. With both men present, the event promises to feel like sitting around the Ruiz family dinner table as they discuss Toltec wisdom and creating a life of authenticity.

"We have presented together many times before, from when I first started giving presentations through the promotional tour for my first book, and each time is a fun experience for us both," said Ruiz Jr. "We both have our talking points, but we are flexible enough to follow the line of thought of the other when we get inspired during the presentation. We are quite playful when we are on stage, and the magic that the audience will see is a loving relationship between father and son who like to share how they dream."

The Center offers fans and followers of The Four Agreements and the Ruiz family a very intimate opportunity to experience this pair of modern-day Shaman. For the people who purchase VIP tickets they will have a private meet-and-greet with both men as well as reserved seating in the first two rows.

"Our Center offers such an intimate setting to witness these two dynamic men steeped in spiritual wisdom and the Toltec philosophy. We are honored they chose our Center for this event," said Dr. Heather Dawn Clark, senior minister at the Center for Spiritual Living Capistrano Valley. "The last time I saw don Miguel Ruiz speak at a conference, he was mesmerizing. He had us all captivated by his Toltec wisdom and his tools for living more fully. And to have don Miguel Ruiz Jr. too is a wonderful opportunity."

We've also been told that Ruiz Sr. is curtailing his in-person events, so this is very likely the last time he will be speaking in our area. He will have a new book out in October, but he will be promoting that in other ways.


VIP tickets are available for $90 and include a meet-and-greet before the workshop and reserved seating. General admission tickets are $65 if purchased on or before July 24 and $75 after July 25. On-site child care is available. For more information and to purchase tickets visit http://www.cslcv.org or call 949-240-6463.

PRACTICE MAKES THE MASTER


PRACTICE MAKES THE MASTER

On Wednesday night, Rick Dale and I had the blessed opportunity to share an inspiration talk entitled, Practice Makes The Master.  This title came from a quote I heard from author and Toltec teacher, Don Miguel Ruiz, which states, Practice makes the master. It's not about learning; it's about taking action and practicing your art (your art, meaning everything you create in your life).  As an artist, if you practice love and you keep practicing and practicing, the moment comes when everything you do is an expression of your love.  How will you know when you have mastered love?  When the story you tell yourself is an ongoing romance.”

I LOVE that...when the story you tell yourself is an ongoing romance!

So, we decided to share some simple daily practices which could be instrumental for just about anyone to experience an ongoing romance with life.  
  • Practice Love--Share your love through Love Lingual:  quality time, touch, words of affirmation, receiving gifts, or service to others.
  • Practice Silence--Get quiet, even if it's just for just a few minutes during the day to allow Infinite Wisdom and Infinite Peace to move through you.
  • Practice Gratitude--Ponder someone for whom you are truly grateful and write them a note to let them know how much they mean to you.
  • Practice Balance--Balance your life between work, rest and play.  Take the time to rest, even if it means missing out on something else.  Your body and mind with thank you.
  • Practice Saying "No!"--Say, "No" to what is not working in your life and say, "Yes!" to a greater idea that does serve you.
  • Practice Joy/Fun--Even if you're not feeling the joy, go out and find some fun to be had, even if you have to go to a playground and swing.  It can change your whole physiology and your attitude.
These are just a few basic ideas that can help you experience an ongoing romance with life and so easy to implement.  As Rick stated at the end, "Court life; light some candles; take Life out on a date; treat It with LOVE!"

PS.  I have to say that the pinnacle of the evening for me was watching my beloved 16 year old daughter get up in front of everyone and sing the song, "There Is Only Love".  Her raw (untrained) talent shone through and moved us all to tears.  Click on this link to hear the sweetness:
