This time on Healing at the Edge, RamDev offers wisdom on:
- Evaluating our practice and giving ourselves advice
- Helping others on the spiritual path
- The foundational work of dealing with fear, guilt, and shame
- Underestimating how attached we are to pleasant mindstates
- Right effort and sitting with our suffering rather than running away
- Doing all things from the mindstate of guru seva versus ego
- Considering what we have faith in and if we need heart work or mindfulness work
- Looking at how constant our practice is and how we can bring practice into daily activity
- Bare attention and mantra as a resource for continuous mindfulness
- Being centered as the perfect balance between stress and relaxation
- Developing spiritual confidence via facing uncomfortable feelings
- Holding space and being a guide for someone who is averse to spirituality
"Running away from our demons makes them real. One of my main jobs as a guide is to tell people to sit still and be with that demon for a little while. Lean into it. Compassion can only arise after there is direct contact with the quality of suffering. You can't short-circuit that fundamental step. You can't heal something until you can meet it directly, nakedly, intimately."– RamDev
