This week on Healing at the Edge, RamDev explores:

• RamDev’s personal struggles with integrating practice into his daily life
• Bringing heartfulness into mundane activities as a form of ceaseless prayer/practice
• Practicing out of richness, abundance, and adequacy, rather than out of need, separation, and inadequacy
• Making connectedness ongoing and constant, rather than something we struggle to find
• The compelling story of Raghu Markus and an answered prayer from Maharaj-ji
• Prayers of adoration, rejoicing, and gratitude
• Receiving direction and guidance through our prayers
• ‘Good pain’, aka, the pain of being released and of tension going away
• Trusting in the divine and surrendering in each moment

“Every moment is open to one of these kinds of prayer. How much can we trust integrating a prayerful attitude, heartfelt surrender to the divine into each moment, whether it’s a moment of gratitude, grief, intercession, thanksgiving, so many different possibilities.” –RamDev
