About the Author
Don Miguel’s teachings are based on simplicity and common sense, making them universally recognized. The Toltec tradition employs a Nagual to guide individuals towards personal freedom.
Don Miguel combines new insights with ancient wisdom to share the Toltec knowledge through practical concepts that promote transformation and truth. Don Miguel was born into a family of healers in rural Mexico, but chose to attend medical school instead of following his family’s tradition.
After a life-changing experience, he devoted himself to the mastery of ancestral wisdom, studying with his mother and a powerful shaman in the Mexican desert. As a nagual from the Eagle Knight lineage, he is committed to sharing the teachings of the ancient Toltecs.
Don Miguel is the author of several books, including The Four Agreements and The Mastery of Love, and will release his newest book, THE TOLTEC ART OF LIFE AND DEATH, on October 27th, 2015, from HarperElixir.
