Healing At The Edge with RamDev Dale Borglum

Closing the gap between ourselves and God, RamDev shows us the tantra of loving one thing so much that we can not help but love it all.“Our true nature, the nature of everybody, and the true nature of everything is what we were invoking in the first place. Everything is the play of pure consciousness.” – RamDevThis podcast is sponsored by BetterHelp.

In this engaging discussion, Mirabai Starr, an award-winning author and grief counselor, shares her insights on how grief can be a powerful catalyst for personal transformation. She emphasizes the emotional depth of grief and its essential role in fostering connections. Mirabai explores the intertwining of grief and spirituality, suggesting that embracing sorrow can lead to grace and deeper self-awareness. The conversation also touches on non-dual wisdom from Tibetan Buddhism and the importance of nurturing positive relationships.

RamDev explores the four different stages on the path of devotion – the invocation stage, the loving-kindness stage, the Tantric stage, and the nondual stage. “My feeling is that eventually, devotion becomes addictive; devotion to awareness, having that open-hearted feeling becomes addictive. That you become crazy for anything but that.” – RamDevFind out more about RamDev’s work at the Living/Dying Project: livingdying.orgSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Exploring core healing practices, RamDev shares on motivation, embodied mindfulness, inspiration, trust, self-compassion, and turning suffering into joy."Are we practicing so we can run away from suffering and push it away? Or are we practicing because we want the truth? If we really want the truth, then suffering is gonna be grace. Suffering is showing us in fine perfect detail where your heart is still closed, where you're not trusting the Dharma, where you're not trusting that Maharaj-ji is always in communion with you." – RamDev Dale BorglumFind out more about RamDev’s work at the Living/Dying Project: livingdying.orgSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
