Summary

For generation after generation, Toltec shamans have passed down their wisdom through teaching stories. The purpose of these stories is to implant a seed of knowledge in the mind of the listener, where it can ultimately sprout and blossom into a new and better way of life.

In The Wisdom of the Shamans: What the Ancient Masters Can Teach Us about Love and Life, Toltec shaman and master storyteller Don Jose Ruiz shares some of the most popular stories from his family's oral tradition and offers corresponding lessons that illustrate the larger ideas within each story.

Ruiz begins by explaining that contrary to the stereotypical image of "witchdoctor", the ancient shamans were men and women who fulfilled several roles within their communities: philosopher, spiritual guide, medical doctor, psychologist, and friend.

According to Ruiz, their teachings are not primitive or reserved for a chosen few initiates but are instead a powerful series of lessons on love and life that are available us all. To that aim, he has included exercises, meditations, and shamanic rituals in an effort to help you experience the personal transformation these stories offer.

The shamans taught that the truth you seek is inside of you. Let these stories, lessons, and tools be your guide to finding the innate wisdom that lives within.

Powerful insight, at the right time in my life

I am currently studying shamanism and reading lots of different books along side my study with my teachers.

I found this book because of the 4 agreements which my teacher gave to me very early on in my journey.

I found the fables and teachings very insightful and helpful in ways more than I imagine were intended.

I have recently been through a series of bereavements which have impacted my life and listening to the wisdom of the shamans have given me the prefect message at the perfect time, to remember that I am not dead, I need to learn to celebrate those who are no longer here by living my life to the full and also by learning to love and accept myself fully.

A short but powerful book with great insights that will no doubt help anyone struggling with self love or loss.

My favourite Don Ruiz’s book

Loved all the Don Ruiz’s family books but this one by Don Jose Ruiz is my favourite. I curl up and read it and go right back home. There just something about this book that awakens something up within me. Love the stories and the techniques have massively helped myself and others I have used it on. I used one of the techniques on someone who was having panic attacks, they are no longer having attacks and it also helped them overcome their fear of dogs to the point they now have a huge dog. Beautiful written book with great practical tools that anyone can use.
