RamDev reflects on the simultaneous depth and simplicity of mantra, highlighting his own transcendent experiences across devotional practices.

Exploring embodiment and self-realization, RamDev takes listeners on a journey through the four paths of yoga: Karma Yoga, Bhakti Yoga, Jñāna Yoga, and Raja Yoga. This time on Healing at the Edge, RamDev discusses: “Modern practitioners often blend these paths. Bhakti softens Jñāna’s austerity, Karma Yoga grounds devotion and service, Raja Yoga provides stability and focus. The synthesis of head, heart, and mind is the integral yoga of our age.” –RamDev About Dale Borglum: RamDev Dale Borglum founded and directed the Hanuman Foundation Dying Center in Santa Fe, New Mexico, the first residential facility in the United States to support conscious dying.

In this episode, RamDev gives a thoughtful talk on: “Until we realize that we’re already whole, we have healing work to do. Healing body, healing mind, healing spirit.

Healing everything.” –RamDev See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Through the selfless practices of Tantra and Guru Yoga, RamDev outlines how to have a conscious relationship with anger rather than allowing it to consume us. Today’s podcast is also brought to you by BetterHelp. Give online therapy a try at betterhelp.com/beherenow and get on your way to being your best self. This time on Healing at the Edge, RamDev gives a talk on: “Anger is not good or bad. Anger is often a reasonable response to what is going on in the world. Yet, it is a difficult emotion because it’s so hot, and it’s often very sudden. In Buddhism, fear and anger are thought to be the same emotion.” – RamDev See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

As a path to eternal vigilance and ultimately, cessation of suffering, Ramdev encourages us to tune into the present moment during times of mundanity and neutrality. In this episode, RamDev offers a balanced perspective on: “How alive do I want to be?”“What I notice, if I am not paying attention to neutral states, that almost always there is this eternal monologue going on and it’s a way of the ego saying ‘I’m here’. One of the most direct practices I have found for not getting lost in that inner monologue during so many of these neutral moments is learning the practice of watching the mind—Not what you're thinking about, but being aware of thinking itself.” – RamDev See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Instead of gradually wearing away our resistance to the emotion or a little more quickly wearing it away because we're adding compassion, we can instantaneously transmute it because our heart is so open. There's a sense of even worship or communion, that even this emotion is an expression of the divine." – RamDev See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

This time on Healing at the Edge, RamDev offers wisdom on: "Running away from our demons makes them real. One of my main jobs as a guide is to tell people to sit still and be with that demon for a little while. Lean into it. Compassion can only arise after there is direct contact with the quality of suffering. You can't short-circuit that fundamental step. You can't heal something until you can meet it directly, nakedly, intimately."– RamDev See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Connecting grief, faith, and devotion, RamDev describes the spiritual price we pay when we ignore the fundamental grief we all experience. In this episode, RamDev explains to listeners: “Unresolved grief has a numbing effect. These effects tend to accumulate and block our free expressions of the heart. Our goal is not to stop grief, but to help process it in whatever ways it might arise.” – RamDev See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Ram Dev helps listeners recognize the divine nature and inner light that already exists inside of each one of us. In this episode, RamDev goes over: “When we’re talking about divine incarnation, talking about the birth of the light, it’s a moment to moment realization that we are more than our thoughts, our stories, our identities. The light that we seek is not something outside to be accomplished, not something that we need to attain. It is already within us waiting to be recognized.” – RamDev See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Ramdev teaches us how to adjust our practice and be a warrior of compassion during times of intense political change. This week on Healing at the Edge, RamDev explores: “As long as we’re blaming the environment for how we’re feeling (I’m feeling really lousy because of the election, or there’s too much traffic, or the weather isn’t great), healing isn’t happening. Drive all blames into oneself means you reclaim the blame and take responsibility for how you’re feeling. The election is not making you feel a particular way, your set of conditioning in relationship to the election is creating certain emotions in you.” – RamDev See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

This time on Healing at the Edge, RamDev discusses: “Instead of relationship being only about comfort and enjoyment, and resenting it when it’s not there, use it as the crucible of practice. Use it as the place that is revealing to you where your heart is closing. When your heart is closing to somebody else, really it’s about not loving yourself. If you can love yourself completely, then you can be with everybody.” – RamDev See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

This time on Healing at the Edge, RamDev holds a talk on: “In the Bible, it talks about ‘pray without ceasing’, and the only way you can do that is if your practice goes so deep into yourself that it’s happening without you doing it because other times you’re doing other things. The quality of the prayer saturates the cloth of your being, you’re colored by the prayer.” – RamDev See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

This time on Healing at the Edge, RamDev guides listeners through: “Service takes on a different tone, a different feeling quality in our beings, if instead of doing it out of guilt or I need to stay busy or I’m trying to help people, it’s an act of love. It’s your relationship with the beloved, that the homeless person, your partner, even your self, is a manifestation of that which is love. Then, service is transformed. It’s an act of joy, not a responsibility.” – RamDev See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
