Ep. 113 –The Art of Prayer: Tell Me, What Do You Ask Of God?

Exploring tantra, self-compassion, and embodied presence, RamDev guides listeners down the heart's path. This time on Healing at the Edge, RamDev explores: Shifting our relationship with our body and mind The path of tantra and relating to life from a place of fullness Conventional devotion (faith-based worship) vs. Tantra (direct-experience of the divine) Becoming aware through focusing on one of the five senses Seeing the guru in simple moments The gradual path to awakening and having compassion for oneself along the way “We have to allow ourselves to fully touch and be touched by each moment of this living vibration, not permanently detaching from experience, contacting it intimately and safely enough through the heart that it can reveal its changing, spacious nature.” –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.

Acknowledging our oneness with the divine and the abundance of the present moment, Ramdev offers a reflection on transforming scarcity and fear into gratitude and love. This time on Healing at the Edge, RamDev discusses: Working through our sense of scarcity The illusion of separateness Trusting that love is enough in an age of fear Handing our fear to the divine mother, to God, to Christ Transforming inadequacy and resting in abundance Trusting in the source and realising we are one Keeping an open heart during turbulent times Seeing all things as a necessary part of the divine play 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.

What you are longing for is not something in the future; it’s fullness in this moment.” –RamDev See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

RamDev takes listeners through the three faces of the heart, each of which serves a different, necessary purpose and combines into nondual awareness. This time on Healing at the Edge, RamDev chats about: What Maharaj-ji said about being in the heart How the heart center stabilizes presence Starting practice as human, and standing up as divine The left, relational heart: feeling, devotion, intimacy, grief, longing The right side of the heart and the arising of witness consciousness Nondualism and combining wisdom with warmth The greatest medicine for the fear of death 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.

The feeling becomes the practice instead of the doorway to deeper qualities of the heart. Grief, if we are only in the left side of the heart, can loop, can continue without metabolizing. The heart can stay open, but it’s not grounded. The practitioner gets blown away by the emotions of daily life.” –RamDev See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Through faith, meditation, and surrender to the divine, RamDev explores the art of resting in presence—embracing all of life, light and dark alike. This time on Healing at the Edge, RamDev chats about: Recognizing that presence is always there, whether the mind is calm or not How having faith in presence will actually quiet the mind A short guided meditation Seeing God in everything rather than trying to figure everything out Taking inspiration from Rumi and resting in the heart-cave Finding the space to be with what we feel, rather than wondering why we are feeling it Giving up our identity and story and being in presence itself Searching for an embodied sense of self which unites with The One Accepting both the dark and the light The poem Lovedogs by Rumi Living without resistance to the divine unfolding of reality 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.
