In his book, The Five Levels of Attachment, Mexican-American author and shaman don Miguel Ruiz Jr. describes the five guideposts for gauging how attached we are to any particular belief, whether it belongs to us or someone else. In his Omega workshop, he encourages participants to use these wisdom teachings to regain the power to make their own decisions. 

This episode features longtime public radio journalist Karen Michel's intimate conversation with Ruiz woven together with audio recorded in Ruiz's Omega workshop session.
