We have to let go of the notion that we're going to fix everything. It's not about becoming happy, it's about becoming real, it's about becoming intimate with all of our experience."– RamDevSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

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."– RamDevSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Give online therapy a try at betterhelp.com/beherenow and get on your way to being your best self.In this episode, RamDev explains to listeners:The many forms that grief can come inGrief in our daily lives and feeling subtly separate from God and othersHow deep grief can shatter our faithFaith as an integral motivator for our practiceThe cyclical, positive relationship between faith and devotionHaving an intimate, faith-based relationship with griefOur addiction to grief and becoming lost in our painHow we can consciously work with griefOpening to our own grief in order to be fully compassionate to othersTrusting that we can become vulnerable and awaken to our own true natureNoticing sensations of grief and compassion for grief in our bodiesHaving appropriate boundaries when working with collective grief“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.” – RamDevSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

• Ep. 120 – Divine Incarnation: The Birth of the Light

  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:Incarnations of light as we move through the winter solsticeComing together in community to explore our inner lightNavigating grief through the holidaysThe divine presence that is beyond time and formThe light within us that is waiting to be recognizedA brief practice and visualization of a being of lightAccepting the true nature of reality and merging with the guruEgo death as the fundamental paradox of spiritual lifeHow clinging to the self blinds us from seeing the lightResting in the quiet mind in order to realize non-duality“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.” – RamDevSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

• Ep. 119 – Preparing for Change

  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: Non-aggressively confronting injusticeRecognizing when we are distractedNot running away from feelings that are challengingOperating from love rather than being reactiveReclaiming the brain and taking responsibility for our emotionsDevouring suffering with compassionHow the depth of one’s mindfulness determines the depth of one’s compassionRemembering our universal connection and that we are all sufferingOffering self-compassion and treating ourselves generouslyLearning to meet our edge as a path to enlightenmentLooking into the big unknown and the next four years“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.” – RamDevSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
