Healing At The Edge with RamDev Dale Borglum

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 minds
Using 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 tension
Maintaining steadiness in the midst of uncertainty
Trusting in the Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha
Noticing the subtle changes in the fields of our 5 senses
Wisely 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

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 America
How grief was handled more collectively in traditional societies
The diluting force of anger and moments of tunnel vision
When anger can actually be a productive response to grief
What the Buddha said regarding anger
Learning to be with grief without bypassing, suppressing, or drowning in it
Resting 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

Navigating boundaries through self-honesty and staying grounded, Ramdev teaches listeners how to say no with an open heart.

This week on Healing at the Edge, RamDev discusses:
The seven chakras throughout our development
Feeling worthy of receiving the profound blessings in each moment
The psychological perspective of boundaries: saying no lovingly
Getting into the energetic body of boundaries
The necessity of being centered & grounded in order to set boundaries
Opening to God and others without being overwhelmed
Leaving behind fear, guilt, and shame in order to accept love and keep the heart open
Practicing self-honesty and mindfulness so that we can set strong boundaries

“Would it be possible to have good, strong, appropriate boundaries if you were not centered in the first place? Would it be possible to have some ongoing loving relationship with yourself, with God, with another human being, if you were not centered?” –RamDev

"One of the most reliable ways to stabilize love is to seed it, to feel it down in the lower belly, the pelvis, the second chakra. This is not a withdrawal from the heart, but a rooting of love into embodiment, gravity.” –RamDev

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 of
The power and depth of mantra practice, despite its simplicity
Shifting from mechanical repetition to embodied feeling and heartfelt presence within the mantra
Allowing mantra practice to soften, open, and color the heart with devotion
Conventional devotional practice and making a bridge to God
Entering tantric devotion as a path of unity—becoming one with the deity rather than worshipping from afar
Becoming the essence of the mantra and awakening the divine energy in our bodies
Drawing comparisons between tantric devotion and the Buddhist Heart Sutra
Realizing 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
