    Ep. 136 – Embodied Faith

    Teaching listeners how to get out of the mind and trust in the heart, RamDev guides us through embodied faith practices. “Faith is not certainty, it’s steadiness inside uncertainty.” –RamDev  This time on Healing at the Edge, RamDev explores: Having faith within our hearts rather than only our mindsUsing sensation as a gateway into experiencing presence How talking about something trivial can allow us to enter the heart space The moving, changing nature of the mind Softening into the body and releasing tensionMaintaining steadiness in the midst of uncertainty Trusting in the Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha Noticing the subtle changes in the fields of our 5 sensesWisely and compassionately responding to the next moment Guru Yoga: Installing the deity into your body“To trust in the heart has a lot to do with trusting being in the body. It’s very difficult to be thinking and be with your sensations at the same time. The heart is a felt experience.” –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. 135 – Collective Grief

    Explaining how collective grief may manifest as anger, RamDev teaches listeners how they can transform negative emotions into compassionate action.  "It’s imperative to feel permission to feel your own grief, to not feel you have to get over it." –RamDev  This week on Healing at the Edge, RamDev discusses: The universal experience of grief The weight of broken promises in AmericaHow grief was handled more collectively in traditional societies The diluting force of anger and moments of tunnel visionWhen anger can actually be a productive response to griefWhat the Buddha said regarding anger Learning to be with grief without bypassing, suppressing, or drowning in itResting in sky-like boundlessness, watching emotions pass like the weather"The energy of anger as a grief response can be a productive response if we can begin to work with the emotion. What does it feel like? How can I transmute the feeling of anger into compassionate action? There is a lot of very powerful, strong juice behind the anger. It can be harnessed. It can be used to protest, to create change.” –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.
