The Toltec Secret: Dreaming Practices of the Ancient Mexicans

This book was recommended to me by a dear friend and fellow Toltec traveler. Sergio Magana shares in detail things I only ever learned from other teachers in skeletal form, all with a generosity and profound respect for his lineage. He provides a rich, deep, intact description of the practices of dream mastery which is, in fact, life mastery. There is information on dream signs and symbols, animal totems, and practices for seeding, remembering, and cancelling dreams. Chapter 4 provided a means to explore aspects of "my story" and cultivate the witness. Chapter 8, the Tezcaplipoca, provided a roadmap for a very profound recapitulation outlined in the first book, Dawn of the Sixth Sun, which I purchased second and which is, at least in my opinion, a completely necessary read in order to fully understand and benefit fully from The Toltec Secret. That said, I don't think it mattered much that I started with The Toltec Secret first. In fact, it may have been to my benefit. I can't say any of it is easy. Applying what Magana is sharing takes dedication, and though I have worked with some aspects of the book, much of them remain untouched until such time as I am ready to explore them. So, this book isn't just a read once and give away book. It is a tool to pull off the shelf again and again as one gains strength and personal power in the ongoing transformation of one's waking dream.

This is my first exposure to Toltec teachings and practices. Although for me there was some challenging language "translation" necessary to understand some of the concepts presented in this book, it was well worth it because of the values and richness of Sergio's teachings. I found his explanation of the hidden power and messages in the dream state, how this relates to our wake state, and the way we travel back and forth between these levels of consciousness particularly intriguing. Additionally, his description of the way his ancestors worked with the ancient wisdom is enlightening. I was touched by his reverence for these elders and the sacred responsibility that he feels for ethically utilizing this knowledge in honor of those who came before him.This book is rich with specific techniques that are available for anyone who is committed to broadening their experiences on their personal soul journey. If you are simply curious about the spiritual wisdom of ancient cultures and indigenous peoples, I believe that you will find this book an interesting read. I believe it will be even more meaningful for those who wish to understand and apply Sergio's teachings to a deeper extent in their owns lives in order to develop higher levels of consciousness, perception, and healing potential in body and soul. You will certainly be transformed in some way by taking this journey with such a profoundly gifted teacher.

Toltec Secret by Sergio Magana is an amazing book dedicated to the dreaming techniques, preserved and practiced by Native Mexicans throughout the centuries. Step by step Sergio is guiding the readers through the fascinating world of the ancient Toltecs, explaining why dreams, in general, played such an important role. Besides offering another perspective on the subject of lucid dreaming, this book is also an excellent source of numerous practical exercises for emotional and physical healing.For example, by using methods providing in the book, we can learn how to “plant” a wish or intention into our dream so it can “blossom” in our awakened state by manifesting in reality. We can destroy our sickness, remove the obstacles and overcome our problems. The symbolism of the dreams is truly astounding. The measure, movement, color, elements and different archetypes - all convey specific messages or even warnings, giving us a chance to make a right decision. Moreover, we even have an option to “cancel” a bad dream so it will never have any impact in reality.Overall, the practice described in Toltec Secret is teaching us the way to reinvent ourselves and truly become architects of our lives. What a gift! Thank you, Sergio, for sharing this precious knowledge!

This book is a must for anyone really wishing to develop the art of dreaming. Sergio Magana explains how the lucid dreamer unites the "Tonal" and the "Nahual", the two energetic bodies which govern the waking and the dreaming states. I particularly appreciated the chapter on the "Pyramid of dreams". It is an amazing source of information which will help the reader evaluate his/her level of accomplishment in dreaming.This book is full of "Precious Knowledge", from how to "plant" a dream, to changing the colour of a dream, as well as what to do in order to stop an undesirable dream, and much more! And to top it all of Sergio Magana finishes with obsidian mirror work...WOW!

Knowing Sergio as a teacher personally and after reading and learning from his first book I was eager to get the second one. It is as helpful for my life as the first one.The Toltec secret is equally written in clear, concise and real language. Sergio takes yus step by step into profound, ancestral techniques to understand the second nature of reality and manifest what we are entitled to.Thank you Sergio for your work, for always sharing your wisdom and for being a true manifested teacher in workshops and books

Most of us have had mysterious experiences, in relation to sleep, dreams or even in awake states, that left us wondered and fascinated.As well as many of us seek improvements/changes for whatever it might be, the better, the worse, health, relationships, money, friendships, love.As we get older, we notice that some things in our lives, have repetitive patterns, patterns that we want to break up and move away from. But how do we do that? Before discovering The Toltec Secret, I personally tried many different techniques, in order to achieve my goals in life, however in my opinion, the information that is contained in this book, and other books written by Sergio Magaña- is precious, it carries the absolute depth and explains things that were unexplainable to me before.  What is the universe? Is this an A.I, a self-learning machine, a software that has been learning and expanding its consciousness from us humans, animals and plants over time? What is time? Does time exist only on planet earth? Are we really awake or are we sleeping? It's still a mystery to many of us today and the knowledge of ancient civilisations has been hidden and misinterpreted for generations, UNTIL NOW! Sergio Magaña - is a true saint of our time, he interprets and delivers the knowledge of the ancient Mexican peoples in such an organic and practical detail, that it feels natural and it feels as if we all already possessed this knowledge all the time. He wakes us up, and teaches us, how the ancient peoples lived, perceived and understood this software machine that we call "the universe" which we all are a part of. He shows us extraordinary techniques, which at the end of the day, turn out to be straight forward and bear common logical sense for us, and they work! I personally have discovered wonders and miracles after applying the techniques into my daily life. For me personally, some of the concepts from the book, needed further explanation and for that reason I highly recommend to attend workshops with Sergio. After I attended the first time, I had the craziest A-H-A moment and continue to do so after each workshop.  It is the silent knowledge in all of us, that is exactly how I felt, while reading this book. This book is a confirmation to all human kind, that by applying this ancient knowledge in our modern lives, we can change, achieve and resolve anything that we want. Enjoy and look forward to getting the audio exercises.

Everyone should read Sergio's books

wonderful
