Healing At The Edge with RamDev Dale Borglum

Ep. 135 – Collective Grief


Listen Later

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
