RamDev – Healing at the Edge – Ep. 119 – Preparing for Change

Ramdev teaches us how to adjust our practice and be a warrior of compassion during times of intense political change.

This week on Healing at the Edge, RamDev explores:
  • Non-aggressively confronting injustice
  • Recognizing when we are distracted
  • Not running away from feelings that are challenging
  • Operating from love rather than being reactive
  • Reclaiming the brain and taking responsibility for our emotions
  • Devouring suffering with compassion
  • How the depth of one’s mindfulness determines the depth of one’s compassion
  • Remembering our universal connection and that we are all suffering
  • Offering self-compassion and treating ourselves generously
  • Learning to meet our edge as a path to enlightenment
  • Looking into the big unknown and the next four years

“As long as we’re blaming the environment for how we’re feeling (I’m feeling really lousy because of the election, or there’s too much traffic, or the weather isn’t great), healing isn’t happening. Drive all blames into oneself means you reclaim the blame and take responsibility for how you’re feeling. The election is not making you feel a particular way, your set of conditioning in relationship to the election is creating certain emotions in you.” – RamDev
