My mother lives in France, and it’s so easy to be ‘together’ through Skype!
Ancient wisdom helps us to go deeper within, to be true, to connect with our higher self and others more authentically. Modern technologies are pushing the limits to who we communicate with and how many people we reach.
Now we shall be even more careful with the way we communicate and connect with others.
I believe our purpose is to get to know ourselves and help others know themselves. An extraordinary tool to help us in this matter is the New York Times bestseller book from Don Miguel Ruiz: The four agreements. I had the immense pleasure and honor to meet this man last January and his son Don Jose, who co-wrote the 5th Agreement with him.
It was amazing to be in there presence and feel the love that emanate from them.
I’d like to share with you these four agreements and their principles, which are based on Ancient Toltec wisdom. By applying them in our everyday life, we can change everything around us. These four agreements reminded me how the connection with nature and our true nature is important.
The Four Agreements:
Don Miguel Ruiz was born into a family of healers, raised in rural Mexico by a healer mother and a shaman grandfather. He has dedicated his life to sharing the wisdom of the ancient Toltec.
Don Miguel define the Toltec has the ‘women and man of knowledge’ throughout southern Mexico. They were scientists and artists who formed a society to explore and conserve the spiritual knowledge and practices of the ancient ones.
Don Miguel said that if we adopt these four agreementsthe transformation in our life will be amazing. “You’ll need a very strong power in order to adopt them” and live your everyday life according to them, but yes the transformation will be amazing.
The Four Agreements:
Be impeccable with your word
Speak with integrity. Say only what you mean. Avoid using the word to speak against yourself or to gossip about others. Use the power of your word in the direction of truth and love.
Don’t Take Anything personally
Nothing others do is because of you. What others say and do is a projection of their own reality, their won dream. Where you are immune to the opinions and actions of others, you won’t be the victim of needless suffering.
Don’t Make Assumptions
Find the courage to ask questions and to express what you really want. Communicate with others as clearly as you can to avoid misunderstandings, sadness and drama. With just this one agreement, you can completely transform your life.
Always do your best
Your best is going to change from moment to moments; it will be different when you are healthy as opposed to sick. Under any circumstance, simply do your best, and you will avoid self-judgment, self-abuse, and regret.
If you haven’t read this book, I highly recommend it. Think of these agreements and adopt them in your everyday life. It is not easy to continuously walk your talk. But if you always do your best, you’ll see some amazing results in your life. And you’ll discover who you truly are.
