- The qualities we can cultivate in response to the disruption caused by artificial intelligence

- Our interconnected nature and how doing the inner work benefits all beings

- The potential benefits and dangers of AI

- The balance of wisdom and compassion

- Dharma talks scripted by Chat GPT

“By you working with your uncertainty, you’re realizing that so many people are feeling the same poisonous emotion. By you having compassion for that, you’re helping other beings because of our interconnected nature. You’re doing this for all beings.” - RamDev (Dale Borglum)

In this episode of Healing at the Edge, RamDev holds a talk on:Dealing with the subtle grief of being in the bodyThe illusion of selfDirectly experiencing emptinessRelaxing into perfection and the boundless nature of the heartTantra and seeing the beloved in everythingFinding opportunities in neutral momentsThe Tantric 3-step and nakedly contacting anger and difficult emotionsRepression and creating space for what must be releasedA guided meditation“We’re going from this grief because we’re feeling separate to compassion for this grief. This compassion reveals the empty nature of the heart, and then this Tantric understanding begins to awaken. Maybe that sounds like a lot of words, but it’s a very somatic, immediate, intimate process that can be experienced right now.” – RamDev

Ep. 109 – Tantra of Grief

RamDev offers wisdom on receiving the body as an energetic entity we can utilize to enter into non-dual awareness.

This time on Healing at the Edge, RamDev offers some wisdom on:The challenge of making our life a practiceExperiencing this in the body for full presenceEmbodiment perceived as emptinessHow unresolved trauma can get locked in the bodyRelaxation as a way to surrenderRegular stress versus mindful stressSamskaras and psychological imprints on the bodyA somatic angle to the tantric-three-stepThe inherent wakefulness within the bodyReceiving the body as an energetic entityWays that we can be in a flow state with our bodyA guided practice to enter into beingness“Resting in the body is difficult because unresolved trauma is locked in the body. There are sensations in the body, painful sensations. Relaxation is really an act of faith. Relaxation is about trust and surrender and trust and surrender are difficult as long as there’s trauma there.” – RamDev

Ep. 108 – Receiving the Body

Whether it is Christ, a guru, a loved one, or neighbor, RamDev helps us find the object of our devotion in each passing moment.

In this episode of Healing at the Edge, RamDev explains:The inner and outer guruLetting go of identification with sufferingSeeing the forest versus getting lost in the treesThe grace within devotionHow our psychological integration determines what level of intimacy we will have with GodInhabiting the body and opening the heartWorshiping God in every formConscious grieving and deepening devotionSpaciousness and non-grasping as an antidote to fear“The guru isn’t just something outside that we’re in relationship with. Its everything, it’s the whole universe. And, it’s the practitioner. It’s you, it’s me. It’s not something that’s only there when we’re feeling holy and sacred. Suppose you’re saying a mantra, you’re saying ram ram ram. From the standpoint of tantra, each time you say ram, it is ram. Each time you look in the mirror, it is ram. Each time you look at your partner or your child or your neighbor, it is ram. It is the mother.” – RamDev
