Change is a constant, defining characteristic of life.
Seasons change, weather changes, leaves change, and so do people. In HeatherAsh Amara's The Toltec Path of Embracing the Four Elements of Change, we are encouraged to embrace the changes in our lives and create the kind of change that we want to see in ourselves and our world.
The Four air, fire, water and earth--all carry specific properties and functions that can lead to a complete life transformation along the Toltec path.
Air represents our mental body, and grants clear perceptions once we shift our focus from the negativity surrounding us to the love and gratitude that lie just below the surface.Fire, the energetic body, gives us the opportunity to clean out the agreements, behaviors and beliefs that no longer serve us, so that we can make room for new, beneficial connections.Water, the emotional body, encourages us to open to new things, people and experiences. By staying open, we can gracefully accept what life brings while still working to create our own changes.Earth, the physical body, acts to nourish us from the inside out, proving again that both beauty and health start from within.
It is through HeatherAsh's carefully composed instruction and guidance that we can use the Four Elements of Change to navigate the Toltec Path into our Divine center, where comparison and judgment drop away, and we can meet ourselves as the beautiful beings that we were meant to be.

One of my favorite books I love to use again and again
I picked this up years ago when I began to delve further into the Toltec studies. For years I reread the first few chapters. as I continue my studies I still use this book all the time it helps me reset and get clear. This is full of wisdom and inner insights. Enjoy!
This book answered so many questions I had about why I act the way I do and gave concise actions to take to change them. I feel different already from just having read the book.
The Toltec philosophy has always been interesting to me, however, this author isn't nearly as good as Miguel Ruiz when it comes to explaining the Toltec and what they believed in or what they stood for. This book at times felt over dramatized and a bit overboard as if the author embellished the truth a bit.
