Mastery of Awareness: Living the Agreements

by Doña Bernadette Vigil

• Doña Bernadette Vigil, the working partner of don Miguel Ruiz and a fully initiated Nagual woman, reveals the authentic tradition of Toltec self-mastery. • Includes exercises from the ancient spiritual path that take the practitioner from Jaguar Knight and Eagle Knight through Nagual Master. • Provides a program of 11 Agreements for continuing the spiritual journey.The Toltec people of ancient Mexico possessed powerful knowledge, passed down secretly through generations of Naguals, that enabled them to achieve a remarkable psychic and spiritual balance. These spiritual warriors learned to discipline their thoughts and emotions, channeling their energy into unconditional love for themselves and others and transforming their world in the process. With the understanding of one who has walked the path, dona Bernadette Vigil--a full Nagual, or shaman, in the Toltec tradition--guides readers through the effective training techniques practiced by Toltec warriors for centuries. By following the practices of the spiritual warrior, readers will experience the amazing sense of peace and contentment that comes from finally breaking free from layers of self-limiting thoughts and fulfilling their true potential as human beings. More than a handbook for personal change, Mastery of Awareness challenges readers to transform the collective dream of the planet.

Good concepts- I'm always sketchy of bottled native wisdom for American (U.S., that is!) eyes- but it matches up with a lot of other perspectives, including 12 Step programs, Pathwork, Alice Miller, Joseph Campbell, and other sound ways of being.

So this was basically an overview of what happens in Toltec warrior power journeys. It had some good points, I did take away some things. But it wants me to spend years doing the outlined exercises, which I don't think would be as beneficial to anyone reading the book by themselves as compared to an actual journey led and guided by an actual nagual with a group of people. I also didn't like how most of the exercises were copy and pasted for each level. Would be more efficient to say "refer to heart meditation used in level 1" instead of wasting 2 pages to copy and past it for each level. And.. there were a few errors like double words or two words switched backwards. That stuff irks me when the editor/writer overlooks it multiple times.

Anything to follow the Toltec Path and find the strength and wisdom from within is what this book is about.

Not anywhere close to what I thought this was about and not very practical
