Can we truly change our lives by simply altering the way we think and speak? Find out as we navigate the transformative teachings of Don Miguel Ruiz's "The Four Agreements" with Elizabeth Winkler, and davidji. Together, we step back into the fertile spiritual landscape of the 1990s, a time when influential figures like Deepak Chopra and Eckhart Tolle were reshaping our understanding of growth and awareness. We explore how these four powerful agreements can unlock new levels of personal development and fulfillment, echoing ancient principles like the Buddha's Noble Eightfold Path and the often overlooked fifth teaching of domestication.

Early in our life, we craft our persona, our assumptions, and our belief systems which ultimately & silently shape our relationships and worldview. Through an insightful story of a client's struggle with co-parenting, we unravel how these hidden narratives can interfere with genuine connections. By embracing openness and curiosity, as Don Miguel suggests, we can learn to let go of these projections and foster more authentic interactions. This episode invites you to question your own stories and move towards a mindset that celebrates curiosity, transforming how you build and maintain relationships.

The words we choose can create or destroy, and we delve into the importance of impeccable speech. We uncover the universal wisdom passed down through cultures, urging us to speak only what is true, kind, and necessary. Equally, we confront the shadows of gossip and personal ownership of thoughts and feelings, offering practical practices like davidji's signature LET GO meditation to relieve emotional burdens. As the conversation unfolds, we explore the duality of light and shadow, encouraging you to embrace both as pathways to liberation and love. This episode is a heartfelt guide through ancient wisdom and modern psychology, designed to awaken your true essence and facilitate profound healing.

The conversation encourages listeners to embrace these teachings to foster emotional freedom, authenticity, and understanding in daily interactions. We dive deep into:

• Exploring the historical context of the Four Agreements

• Learning to not take anything personally 
• Insights on avoiding assumptions for clearer communication
