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

“If we only live in the left side of the heart, devotion can become too emotional. 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

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

“We in the West tend to think of presence or God as something positive, pleasant, and enjoyable, and yet, it’s all presence. There is nothing that isn’t.” –RamDev

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
