Healing At The Edge with RamDev Dale Borglum

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

Exploring embodiment and self-realization, RamDev takes listeners on a journey through the four paths of yoga: Karma Yoga, Bhakti Yoga, Jñāna Yoga, and Raja Yoga.
This time on Healing at the Edge, RamDev discusses:
Karma Yoga, holding both success and failure equally—offering everything to God
Bhakti Yoga and dissolving the ego through devotion
The obstacles of Bhakti: getting lost in emotions and secularism
Jñāna Yoga, the path of philosophical and contemplative minds
The importance of allowing clarity and knowledge to serve compassion
Raja Yoga, the path of meditation and discipline
Looking at crises as motivation for doing more practice
Blending yogic paths for the synthesis of head, heart, and mind
The benefit of sticking to one path for a deeper experience
Becoming embodied in order to heal addiction and trauma
How crucial it is to go beyond conceptual reality
“Modern practitioners often blend these paths. Bhakti softens Jñāna’s austerity, Karma Yoga grounds devotion and service, Raja Yoga provides stability and focus. The synthesis of head, heart, and mind is the integral yoga of our age.” –RamDev

“Every moment is open to one of these kinds of prayer. How much can we trust integrating a prayerful attitude, heartfelt surrender to the divine into each moment, whether it’s a moment of gratitude, grief, intercession, thanksgiving, so many different possibilities.” –RamDev

Through teachings on non-duality and the illusion of separateness, RamDev explains how true healing comes from recognizing our inherent wholeness.
Today’s podcast is brought to you by BetterHelp. Give online therapy a try at betterhelp.com/beherenow and get on your way to being your best self.
In this episode, RamDev gives a thoughtful talk on:
Resting in wholeness and non-duality in order to heal all parts of ourselves
Seeing through the illusion of separateness instead of labeling ourselves or others as “broken”
Understanding the ego and the ‘I’ that suffers, and learning to release fixation on identity
Insights from Maharaj-ji and other gurus on awakening beyond duality
Opening the heart of compassion and experiencing its boundless, healing presence
The tantric revelation that all experiences are sacred, even the painful or uncomfortable ones
How wholeness becomes contagious, reflecting others’ true nature and innate completeness
Rediscovering the awareness that is already present within us
Trusting in our true nature, and allowing suffering to transform rather than resisting it
“Until we realize that we’re already whole, we have healing work to do. Healing body, healing mind, healing spirit. We’re really not talking about healing illnesses. We are freeing capacities that have been limited and constricted in the past. The deepest healing. Healing everything.” –RamDev

Focusing on grounding practices, RamDev shares spiritual wisdom on how to transform fear, guilt, and shame into love and mercy.
Today’s podcast is also brought to you by BetterHelp. Give online therapy a try at betterhelp.com/beherenow and get on your way to being your best self.
In this episode, RamDev gives insightful perspectives on:
The instability of the heart and how fear, guilt, and shame keep us closed off
Why we are so reactive to the chaos of world events and how to respond with wisdom instead
Practical ways to work with fear, guilt, and shame so the heart can open moment to moment
Embracing our divine nature without denying our humanness
The power of grounding and trusting in the body as a source of safety
Learning to fully receive the support of the earth and the Divine Mother
Living in a third chakra society where power is out of balance
Becoming an embodiment of mercy and compassion rather than idolizing power
“Fear, guilt, and shame are the demons of the first, second, and third chakras, respectively, and until we have worked with those emotions in a direct way, it is really impossible for the heart to be open in a stable way.” – RamDev
