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.

Planting Seeds




Happy happy happy are we
Happy happy happy are we
I love you, and you love me
Together we make a happy family!!

When my children were young and in the "Barney" stage of life we often sang this little ditty! We sang it to express our love, to feel better when we were down and we sang it because we were "in love" and we were happy! I loved this time of parenthood, my kids were so receptive to songs and, books with messages of character, kindness and creativity. I was keenly aware of the seeds that were being planted in my childrens mind and like a good gardener I was mindful of the crops, the seasons and the patient nurturing that was required.

Fast forward to this year when my children are now young adults and we see each other when they have time, and can fit their dad and I in to their busy schedules. We no longer sing silly songs or use the plates with the affirmations on them at dinner. They are truly the head gardeners of their lives. To prove my point I received a text from my daughter a few nights ago. All the text included was a link to a Huffington Post article. I followed the link and saw a title that made me stop. "How to Get Flat Abs, Have Amazing Sex and Rule the World in 8 Easy Steps" I think 'she's been hacked' - can you hack a text? Surely this is not something my sweet daughter would send to me. And yet I continued on to read the article and was fascinated and excited! This was great stuff! This was really good and powerful and, and, and -- my daughter had sent it to me!  About the time I finished reading the article I received another text from my daughter. This one said "read it - you'll like it. And it mentions one of your favorite books!" And I thought, oh my god! My daughter is sharing her seeds with me -- the seeds she is planting in her mind, in her life as the gardener of her own life - and not only that she knows one of my favorite books --but wait which one was she referring to? I had to go back to the article (all of this on my phone) and read through it quickly to realize that she was referring to The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz. Yes it is one of my favorite books and yes, my 24 year old daughter is harvesting and experiencing the seeds we planted all those years ago. And, so am I!

The stage of this gardeners life has changed too. I no longer make up silly little songs - well not often. Everyday I plant the seeds in my mind for what I want to grow in my life. Today, I am planting seeds of acceptance and trust. And, like a good gardener I am planting them confidently in prayer, watering them with affirmations and trust, surrounding myself with other spiritual seekers who remind me that we are all gardening together.

Here is the link to that article that my daughter shared.
