Mind, Body & Spirit

In The Mastery of Love, don Miguel Ruiz examines the fear-based beliefs and assumptions that undermine love and lead to suffering and drama in relationships. Using teachings from the three Toltec Masteries -- Awareness, Transformation, and Love -- as a foundation, he exposes the fallacies and misplaced expectations about love that permeate most relationships. Some of the themes the book explores include the destructive war of control; why "domestication" and the "image of perfection" lead to self-rejection; the dual tracks of fear and love; body needs versus mind needs; and how to finally accept and forgive ourselves and others.
