As prophesied by the Toltecs, the world is moving into a new age of consciousness, the Sixth Sun. This book, a collaboration between Sergio Magaña, heir to ancient Mesoamerican wisdom, and Michelle Rodriguez, one of Hollywood’s biggest Latin stars, urges us to reclaim our Toltec legacy and evolve to meet the opportunities of this new dawn. It includes:
Mind-blowing revelations of how Toltec symbols (from the pyramids to the Tree of Life to the rising serpent) are mirrored in other traditions around the globe.
The thrilling tale of how Toltec knowledge was forced underground by Mexico’s Spanish invaders and then survived as part of a vibrant oral tradition.
Practical Toltec tools such as lucid dreaming to influence conscious reality and obsidian mirror meditation to reprogram the subconscious mind
EEG-based medical research which testifies to the power of meditation, lucid dreaming and other Toltec techniques.
Michelle and Sergio offer an enlightening worldview, a set of powerful practical tools, and the motivation to live a more harmonious life at the dawn of a new age.

This is her first book.
Sergio Magaña is a world-renowned practitioner, healer and teacher of the ancient knowledge of the Teotihuacans, Toltecs and Aztecs. He has taught thousands of people the powerful spiritual techniques of the Toltecs, hosted his own radio show, and written five books on the subject.

What if good health-body, mind, and spirit-came down to what we think and how we manage stress?
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), stress is the number one cause of disease. Yet most people have no idea how stress has thrown their lives off-balance, disconnecting them from who they really are. In The Stress Rx: A Neurologist's Ayurvedic Prescription for Happiness and Health, Dr. Trupti Gokani uses the ancient wisdom of ayurveda and her Three Brain Model(TM) to show you how to find true, holistic health.
As a neurologist who has spent over two decades in clinical practice, Dr. Gokani has a powerful message to share.
What if, instead of changing your diet, adding supplements, or more exercise, you focused on shifting your brain programs?
What if changing how you and your brain perceive stress could take care of 80 to 90 percent of your struggles?
If this shift could reduce your risk of disease and improve your longevity far more than any dietary change, pill, or exercise routine, would you be interested in giving it a try?
The Stress Rx will show you how.
Review
"The Stress Rx by Dr. Trupti Gokani is a powerful prescription for holistic well-being, written by a neurologist who blends modern brain science with ancient Ayurvedic wisdom. This is a work that draws on decades of clinical experience, and the doctor's unique Three Brain Model(TM) reveals how stress, not diet, exercise, or supplements, is the root cause of most health issues. Through clear insights and transformative practices, she empowers readers to shift their mental programming, reconnect with their true nature, and finally find lasting balance. Rather than treating symptoms, this guide goes deeper, offering a life-changing roadmap for aligning body, mind, and spirit in a way that feels intuitive and sustainable.
Author Trupti Gokani writes with a direct, no-nonsense style that's also laced with poignant, personal moments, and this brilliant fusion of Eastern and Western medicine offers some really groundbreaking viewpoints on stress management and the connection between stress and health. So often we're told that stress is a major health factor, but very few books actually break down what it's doing to your body, let alone what you can do to reverse that process. But Dr. Gokani has come to our rescue with clear, accessible prose, taking complex science and re-explaining it with actionable wisdom and compassion for the pressures of modern life. I was really interested in the psychological factors, particularly as someone who suffers with stress a lot, and there are some truly transformative insights into how our brains process stress, and how we can reclaim control through lifestyle and thought process changes to how we approach life. Overall, I'd definitely recommend The Stress Rx as a must-read for anyone seeking a deeper, more sustainable path to wellness and inner peace."—K.C. Finn, Readers' Favorite
