Product Description
The Toltec Way: A Guide to Personal Transformation is about rediscovering your true self and living at peace with the world around you. It emphasizes the need to take personal responsibility for the choices in your life and the freedom that you attain by doing so. Through exercises and guided meditations, it offers you a way to get started on your journey from its opening pages. And because the wisdom to be learned is often best encountered indirectly, you will find that some of the most important knowledge is hidden in the parable-like teaching stories that are woven into the text.
Not only does Dr. Gregg gently lead the reader to the attainment of the three Toltec Masteries, but she infuses the wisdom of the Masteries with a profound sense of oneness with the world. Dr. Gregg's message and techniques will unlock the door to the discovery of the loving, serene person residing within.

Editorial Reviews
From Amazon.co.uk
Like Don Miguel Ruiz, author of the best-selling book The Four Agreements, author Susan Gregg teaches readers how the ancient Toltec tradition can apply to life in the 21st century. For those who don't know, the Toltecs were an ancient race of people who flourished in Southern Mexico around 800 AD. "They were also a secret society dedicated to preserving the knowledge of the 'ancient ones,' who were great spiritual masters", according to Gregg, who goes on to explain that the Toltec tradition is a way of seeing beyond our perceived sense of reality and into an unlimited world of possibility.
Since Gregg is a dedicated teacher of this exciting (and yes, even faddish) Toltec tradition, she emphasises basic tools and specific examples rather than obscure parables and philosophies. Chapter titles such as, "Letting Go of the Past", "Finding a Happiness that Lasts" and "Where To Go For Support", sound more like self-help chapters than enticing discussions of mystical beliefs, but that is Gregg's point--why make this reality-blowing tradition obscure and inaccessible when its whole purpose is that of spiritual empowerment? As a push-up-your-sleeves-and-get-started primer, it can't be beat. But if you are looking for more lyrical or pensive prose, turn to Don Miguel or Don Juan. --Gail Hudson
From AudioFile
On the playing field of life, trans-formtive ideas compete for playing time with our defensive mechanisms and, if we make room for them, can help us see opportunities for achievement and a more intentional life. If we choose to, we can listen every day to our highest calling, the one that integrates us with the wisdom of the spirits across the ages. Though her reading is flat, the charm of the author's journey is thoroughly rewarding, especially the stories of growth in a variety of cultural settings. It's a rich lesson on self-mastery, as well as a message of deliverance from the banality of old habits and thinking. T.W. © AudioFile 2002, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine
