En La voz del conocimiento, Miguel Ruiz nos recuerda una verdad sencilla y profunda: el único modo de acabar con nuestro sufrimiento emocional y recuperar nuestra dicha de vivir consiste en dejar de creer en mentiras — principalmente sobre nosotros mismos. Basado en la antigua sabiduría tolteca, este penetrante libro nos enseña a recuperar nuestra fe en la verdad y a regresar a nuestro propio sentido común. Ruiz cambia la manera en la que nos percibimos a nosotros mismos y a los demás. Después, abre la puerta a una realidad que percibíamos cuando sólo teníamos uno o dos años de edad: una realidad de verdad, amor y dicha. “Nacemos en la verdad, pero crecemos creyendo en mentiras. . . . Una de las mayores mentiras de la historia de la humanidad es la mentira de nuestra imperfección.” — don Miguel Ruiz Más sobre el libro Antes de aprender a hablar, nuestra verdadera naturaleza es la de amar, ser felices, explorar y disfrutar la vida. Escuchamos la voz silenciosa de nuestra integridad. Una vez que aprendemos a hablar, las personas que nos rodean captan nuestra atención y nos programan con conocimiento. Pero ese conocimiento está contaminado por las mentiras. Al centrar nuestra atención en el conocimiento que está en nuestra cabeza, dejamos de percibir el mundo a través de los ojos del amor; sólo percibimos lo que hemos aprendido a creer. Estamos a merced de la voz del conocimiento. Esa voz no para de hablar, de juzgar, de chismorrear, y de maltratarnos. Sabotea nuestra felicidad y nos impide disfrutar de una realidad basada en la verdad y el amor. Ruiz nos enseña a recobrar la voz silenciosa de nuestra integridad y a encontrar la paz interior. Cuando la voz del conocimiento deja de controlarnos, nuestra vida se convierte en una expresión de nuestro yo auténtico, tal como era antes de que aprendiéramos a hablar. Entonces, regresamos a la verdad, al amor, y vivimos de nuevo en la felicidad.

A bestselling guide from acclaimed author don Miguel Ruiz that teaches us how to cultivate healthy, honest relationships with ourselves and others In The Mastery of Love, don Miguel Ruiz illuminates the fear-based beliefs and assumptions that undermine love and lead to suffering and drama in our relationships. Using insightful stories to bring his message to life, Ruiz shows us how to heal our emotional wounds, recover the freedom and joy that are our birthright, and restore the spirit of playfulness that is vital to loving relationships. The Mastery of Love includes: • Why "domestication" and the "image of perfection" lead to self-rejection • The war of control that slowly destroys most relationships • Why we hunt for love in others, and how to capture the love inside us • How to finally accept and forgive ourselves and others

From the bestselling author of The Four Agreements In The Voice of Knowledge, Miguel Ruiz reminds us of a profound and simple truth: The only way to end our emotional suffering and restore our joy in living is to stop believing in lies — mainly about ourselves. Based on ancient Toltec wisdom, this breakthrough book shows us how to recover our faith in the truth and return to our own common sense. Ruiz changes the way we perceive ourselves, and the way we perceive other people. Then he opens the door to a reality that we once perceived when we were one and two years old — a reality of truth, love, and joy. "We are born in truth, but we grow up believing in lies. . . . One of the biggest lies in the story of humanity is the lie of our imperfection." — don Miguel Ruiz

In The Four Agreements, don Miguel Ruiz revealed how the process of our education, or "domestication," can make us forget the wisdom we were born with. Throughout our lives, we make many agreements that go against ourselves and create needless suffering. The Four Agreements help us to break these self-limiting agreements and replace them with agreements that bring us personal freedom, happiness, and love. In The Fifth Agreement, don Miguel Ruiz joins his son, don Jose Ruiz, to offer a fresh perspective on The Four Agreements, and a powerful new agreement for transforming our lives into our personal heaven. The Fifth Agreement takes us to a deeper level of awareness of the power of the Self, and returns us to the authenticity we were born with. In this compelling sequel to the book that has changed the lives of millions of people around the world, we are reminded of the greatest gift we can give ourselves: the freedom to be who we really are.

What are instrumental lessons for? And why do so many students want to ''give up'' when they have only just begun? These are just some of the questions examined in this thought-provoking and entertaining book, which draws on research and on the author''s wealth of experience to encourage teachers to build upon the strengths of current practice. Instrumental Teaching is for both those who have been teaching for many years and those who are starting out. It focuses on learning by young people but also ranges more widely, and it relates to all teachers, wherever they teach. Janet Mills asks probing questions such as ''why teach?'' - and ''why learn?'' - and provides practical advice on subjects including ''the first lesson''. She addresses the thorny issue of practice, and explores myths such as the notion that some instruments require particular physical or personal attributes. This book will challenge and inspire anyone who is, or is thinking of becoming, an instrumental teacher.

A spiritual guide to overcoming negative emotions offers advice on saying what one means, refusing to speak against oneself, and ending self-deprecating thoughts and attitudes as part of realizing true knowledge and being true to oneself.

Sweet Collection of Western Romance: Wildflower by Chancie Love, Along The Way by Janet Mills, Confluence by Kristy McCaffrey, and Essie by Chancie Love

How do some schools get music so right while others get it so wrong? Janet Mills, a former HMI and teacher, draws on work in more than 800 schools and published research as she seeks to help schools improve their practice - no matter how good it is already. Successful teaching, she argues, is creative, uplifting, enabling, and, above all, rooted in music. The aim of this book is to ''Put the music back into music''.Thought-provoking, challenging, and empowering, this book is an essential read for all those interested in music in schools, including class teachers, instrumental teachers, and researchers. Using informative and entertaining examples and anecdotes, Janet Mills criticizes notions such as ''musical children'' and ''musical schools'', and comments on the roles of instrumental teachers and so-called ''non-specialists''. She explores how music in school can, and must, interact with music out of school, and considers how to measure progress in music - and how not to. Music in the School is not a step-by-step guide to better teaching, but rather a springboard for consideration, reflection, and action. Anyone who cares about music at school will find this book a powerful tool.

Den meksikanske toltekeren don Miguel Ruiz er tidligere kjent for norske lesere gjennom ?De fire leveregler? (2002). Der understreket han at alt vi foretar oss springer ut fra de normene vi har satt for vårt eget liv og for andres. I denne boken følger han opp denne overbevisningen at vi er skapere av vårt eget liv. Et av de viktigste rådene Ruiz gir i denne boken er at vi må slutte å tro på det som sies og feste lit til det vi føler. Følelsene sier noe om hvordan vi takler livet, og følger vi følelsene kan vi endre livet.
