THIS IS AN IN-PERSON EVENT HELD AT EAST WEST BOOKS & GIFTS. THE ADDRESS IS: 110 3RD AVE N, STE 102, EDMONDS, WA
There’s a kind of fear that doesn’t look like fear.
It doesn’t come with a racing heart or a fight-or-flight response. Instead, it shows up in
the way you hesitate before speaking. In the way you walk into a room and immediately
shrink. In how you say yes when you mean no — or stay silent just to keep the peace.
It’s the voice that tells you to play it safe. The one that talks you out of things before
anyone else can reject you. It’s the quiet pressure to be perfect, to be good, to be easy
to love.
That kind of fear doesn’t feel like panic. It feels like your personality.
This is the fear explored in The Poisoned Arrow, the new book by don Miguel Ruiz Jr. —
a learned, inherited, often unspoken fear that shapes our lives in quiet, subtle ways until
we’re already deep inside the story.
We all carry it. Not just in our minds, but in our relationships, in our roles, and in the
quiet choices we make to feel safe — even when we’re ready for something more.
In this free, one-time live session, don Miguel Ruiz Jr. will guide you through the
process of releasing that fear. Not by pushing it away or pretending it doesn’t exist —
but by seeing it clearly, naming it, and choosing to live from something deeper.
You’ll learn how to recognize the shape of fear in your own life, how to name it without
judgment, and how to begin loosening its grip in the moments that matter most.
What you’ll explore in this session:
-How psychological fear hides inside your most “reasonable” decisions — and
why recognizing it is the first step toward freedom
-The Toltec practice of stalking the mind — how to witness fear-based thoughts
without collapsing into them
-How inherited beliefs shape your inner dialogue — and how to tell which voice in
your head is actually you
-Why you don’t need to be fearless to be free — and how to make choices even
when fear is still present
-What it means to remove the arrow, not just mask the pain — and why discomfort
is often a sign of real healing.
-This session is a chance to pause and reconnect. It’s a space for clarity, reflection, and
gentle unlearning — led live by don Miguel Ruiz Jr.
About Don Miguel Ruiz Jr.:
At the age of 14, don Miguel Jr. apprenticed to his father don Miguel Sr. and his grandmother, Madre Sarita. From that early age, he was called upon to translate Madre Sarita’s prayers, lectures and workshops from Spanish into English. In this way, through constant repetition and review, he learned the content of her teachings in both languages.
Through interpreting for Madre Sarita, don Miguel Jr. came to understand the power of faith. He saw first-hand how she manifested her intent to heal people, both physically and spiritually.
don Miguel Jr.’s apprenticeship lasted 10 years. When he reached his mid-20’s, his father intensified his training. At the apex of this power journey don Miguel said to his eldest son, “Find your way out. Go home and master Death by becoming alive.”
For the past six years, don Miguel Jr. has applied the lessons learned from his father and grandmother to define and enjoy his own personal freedom while achieving peace with all of creation.
Today, don Miguel Jr. is married and has two young children. And so, as a Nagual he begins once again to pass along the wisdom and the tools of his family’s traditions in helping others to achieve their own personal freedom and optimal physical and spiritual health.
Miguel Jr. has taken the lessons of his father and grandmother and discovered his own personal freedom. Being able to apply his teachings to the world around him gave Miguel Jr. a new understanding of the lessons his father and grandmother had passed onto him, once again giving him the desire to pass on his beliefs. After decades of training, Miguel Jr. was finally ready to share everything he had learned. As a Nagual, he now helps others discover optimal physical and spiritual health, so that they may achieve their own personal freedom.
