In this episode of Healing at the Edge, RamDev holds a talk on:

• Dealing with the subtle grief of being in the body
• The illusion of self
• Directly experiencing emptiness
• Relaxing into perfection and the boundless nature of the heart
• Tantra and seeing the beloved in everything
• Finding opportunities in neutral moments
• The Tantric 3-step and nakedly contacting anger and difficult emotions
• Repression and creating space for what must be released
• A 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
