RamDev explores the four different stages on the path of devotion – the invocation stage, the loving-kindness stage, the Tantric stage, and the nondual stage. 

“My feeling is that eventually, devotion becomes addictive; devotion to awareness, having that open-hearted feeling becomes addictive. That you become crazy for anything but that.” – RamDev

Exploring core healing practices, RamDev shares on motivation, embodied mindfulness, inspiration, trust, self-compassion, and turning suffering into joy.

"Are we practicing so we can run away from suffering and push it away? Or are we practicing because we want the truth? If we really want the truth, then suffering is gonna be grace. Suffering is showing us in fine perfect detail where your heart is still closed, where you're not trusting the Dharma, where you're not trusting that Maharaj-ji is always in communion with you." – RamDev Dale Borglum

This week on Healing at the Edge, Ram Dev expands on the subjects of grief, gratitude, and grace.

"Grace is not a thing, something we receive from God, but more the attitude and openness where we can trust emptiness in each moment. We can trust that there is presence in each moment." – Ram Dev

Mukti Ma and RamDev trade stories of their synchronistic journeys to India, which led them both to sit at the feet of Neem Karoli Baba (Maharaj-ji) and Anandamayi Ma.

Welcoming Mukti Ma Habsburg to Healing at the Edge, Dale Borglum introduces her as a new member of the Board of Directors for his Living/Dying Project. What started as a business meeting turned into waxing poetically on Neem Karoli Baba (Maharaj-ji), Anandamayi Ma, and the good old days in India—so through that grace, this podcast was born!
