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, 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 "witch doctor," 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 to us all.

To that aim, he has included exercises, meditations and shamanic rituals 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.
