Teaching listeners how to get out of the mind and trust in the heart, RamDev guides us through embodied faith practices.
“Faith is not certainty, it’s steadiness inside uncertainty.” –RamDev
This time on Healing at the Edge, RamDev explores:
- Having faith within our hearts rather than only our minds
- Using sensation as a gateway into experiencing presence
- How talking about something trivial can allow us to enter the heart space
- The moving, changing nature of the mind
- Softening into the body and releasing tension
- Maintaining steadiness in the midst of uncertainty
- Trusting in the Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha
- Noticing the subtle changes in the fields of our 5 senses
- Wisely and compassionately responding to the next moment
- Guru Yoga: Installing the deity into your body
“To trust in the heart has a lot to do with trusting being in the body. It’s very difficult to be thinking and be with your sensations at the same time. The heart is a felt experience.” –RamDev
