don Miguel Ruiz Jr.

don Miguel Ruiz Jr., is a Nagual, a Toltec Master of Transformation. He is a direct descendant of the Toltecs of the Eagle Knight lineage and is the son of don Miguel Ruiz, author of New York Times bestseller TheFour Agreements.  He is the author of five books, his latest book is The Seven Secrets of Healthy, Happy Relationships. Along with his family, he teaches workshops and offers transformational journeys around the world.

At the age of 14, don Miguel Jr. apprenticed to his father don Miguel Sr. and his grandmother, Madre Sarita. From that early age, he was called upon to translate Madre Sarita’s prayers, lectures, and workshops from Spanish into English. In this way, through constant repetition and review, he learned the content of her teachings in both languages.

Through interpreting for Madre Sarita, don Miguel Jr. came to understand the power of faith. He saw first-hand how she manifested her intent to heal people, both physically and spiritually, through her spiritual practice. Don Miguel Jr.’s apprenticeship with Madre Sarita lasted 10 years. When he reached his mid-20’s, his father intensified his training by taking over his apprenticeship. At the apex of this power journey, don Miguel said to his eldest son, “Find your way out. Go home and master Death by becoming alive.”

Since 2006, don Miguel Jr. has applied the lessons learned from his Father and Grandmother to define and enjoy his own personal freedom while achieving peace with all of creation. With this experience, he continues to expand and contribute to his family’s legacy in the form of his teachings.

Today, don Miguel Jr. is married and has two young children. And so, as a Nagual, he passes along the wisdom and the tools of his family’s traditions in helping others to achieve their own personal freedom and optimal physical and spiritual health.

Along with his family, don Miguel Jr. leads workshops, retreats, and power journeys to help others to achieve their own personal freedom and optimal physical and spiritual health. He is also the author of The Five Levels of Attachment, Living a Life of Awareness, The Mastery of Self, Don Miguel Ruiz’s Little Book of Wisdom, and has co-authored, The Seven Secretes to Healthy, Happy Relationships, with HeatherAsh Amara.
