This is not a withdrawal from the heart, but a rooting of love into embodiment, gravity.” –RamDev  See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

    Ep. 132 - Everything Is Possible By God’s Name

    RamDev reflects on the simultaneous depth and simplicity of mantra, highlighting his own transcendent experiences across devotional practices. This time on Healing at the Edge, RamDev dives into: Receiving miracles from Hanuman and the sense that all things are already taken care ofThe power and depth of mantra practice, despite its simplicityShifting from mechanical repetition to embodied feeling and heartfelt presence within the mantraAllowing mantra practice to soften, open, and color the heart with devotionConventional devotional practice and making a bridge to GodEntering tantric devotion as a path of unity—becoming one with the deity rather than worshipping from afarBecoming the essence of the mantra and awakening the divine energy in our bodiesDrawing comparisons between tantric devotion and the Buddhist Heart SutraRealizing that it is all one as we transcend through layers of devotion“You are the essence of the mantra. The mantra is not a tool, a pointer, a technique; it's the full manifestation of the divine. It’s awakening divine energy into your body with each repetition.” –RamDev  About RamDev 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.

    Ep. 131 - The Four Paths of Yoga

    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: Karma Yoga, holding both success and failure equally—offering everything to GodBhakti Yoga and dissolving the ego through devotion The obstacles of Bhakti: getting lost in emotions and secularismJñāna Yoga, the path of philosophical and contemplative mindsThe importance of allowing clarity and knowledge to serve compassionRaja Yoga, the path of meditation and disciplineLooking at crises as motivation for doing more practiceBlending yogic paths for the synthesis of head, heart, and mind The benefit of sticking to one path for a deeper experienceBecoming embodied in order to heal addiction and trauma How crucial it is to go beyond conceptual reality “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.

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.

    Ep. 126 – Staying Awake When Feeling Neutral

    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.  Today’s podcast is also brought to you by BetterHelp.

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.
