Boekbespreking: The Four Agreements

Don Miguel Ruiz was born into a family of healers and raised in rural Mexico by a curandera (healer) mother and nagual (shaman) grandfather. The family anticipated don Miguel would embrace their centuries old legacy of healing and teaching and as a nagual, carry forward the esoteric Toltec knowledge. Instead, distracted by modern life, don Miguel chose to attend medical school and later teach and practice as a surgeon

The tools shared by don Miguel are based on common sense and shared with such simplicity, that the universal message underlying his teaching, is recognized by many. Don Miguel’s message is simple, practical and when implemented, even incrementally, changes lives.

A PRACTICAL GUIDE TO FREEDOM

The Four Agreements are tools to help us in the process of personal transformation. This transformation requires an inventory of our beliefs,
which are based on agreements we have made with life. We can transform
our beliefs and break our old, self-limiting agreements by practicing the
Four Agreements.

THE FOUR AGREEMENTS ARE:

1. 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.


2. 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 own dream. When you are immune to the opinions and actions of others, you won’t be the victim of needless suffering.


3. 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.

4. Always Do Your Best
Your best is going to change from moment to moment; 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.
