About Barbara

Barbara Emrys is a writer and teacher of transformational wisdom called Toltec Dreaming^SM, based on the philosophy of living life as art. Through her long term workshops and private apprenticeships, she has seen dramatic changes in behavior and perception in students from all points of the world. Through her teaching, her guidance and her love, students learn to take responsibility for their happiness and free will.

It is an act of personal commitment and courage to change the patterns and ways of perceiving that make us what we are, so that we can walk through the dream of our lives fearless and at peace with ourselves. It begins with a willingness to see the things we do and say that keep us afraid and in discomfort. Understanding the beliefs that give birth to such reflex reactions - regardless of our best intentions - makes it possible to change the patterns and redefine ourselves as happy, mentally healthy human beings. Detaching from old ideas of who we thought we were and what we thought our limitations to be makes anything possible. Changing our view of love makes love an effortless and joyous part of our lives.

Barbara's own journey into awareness began through her tutelage with don Miguel Ruiz, author of The Four Agreements^TM and other best selling books on personal development. The two are now colleagues in teaching, writing and the pursuit of a long term legacy for Toltec Dreaming and a philosophy that has already changed lives worldwide in its most basic applications.

"It is my pleasure and privilege to introduce the world to Barbara through her own writings and teachings and to urge the world to listen to her words. She is an impeccable communicator of the teachings I have been honored to share with the world, and a precious reflection of my love. In the shamanic traditions she is a true Nagual woman. To me she is an angel delivering letters to the dream of the planet with love and respect for all dreams, all realities."

- Miguel Ruiz

Miguel Ruiz
Don Miguel Ruiz is the author of five best selling books and a teacher of personal transformation through Toltec wisdom and the high art of common sense. The Four Agreements, his first published work, shows that by making a few simple but profound changes in our habitual behavior, the belief structures built on old agreements from childhood would begin to collapse. Mastery of Love, A Book of Prayers, and the Companion Book to The Four Agreements all invite his readers into a higher realm of awareness. The Voice of Knowledge, his latest and most provocative work, begins to touch on the teachings presented in his Dreaming workshops with dona Barbara Emrys.
