RamDev shares how difficult emotions can be a portal for non-dual awareness, surrender, and bliss.
This time on Healing at the Edge, RamDev discusses :
- Working with strong emotions and using them as fuel for awakening
- The difference between spiritual bypassing vs. heart-centered action to transmute negative experiences
- Applying a tantric perspective to transform emotions in real-time
- Experiencing the present moment’s enlightened nature and recognizing divinity in all things
- Building a relationship with content via embodied mindfulness
- Stabilizing the mind, opening the heart, and loving whatever is going on
- Faith-based devotion and a sense of separation from divinity versus tantric devotion and a oneness with God
- Identification with the divine rather than only worship and how it leads to sacred union and transformation
- The heart as a bridge between spiritual realms and physical reality
- Cultivating awe, wonder, and a deep appreciation for the divine nature of even the most mundane experiences
- How tantra dissolves the boundary between Samsara and Nirvana
- Emotions as portals for non-dual awareness and gateways into expanded states of consciousness
- Embracing fear and how it can lead to surrender, bliss, and liberation
- Engaging with political challenges through love and compassion, not hatred

"It isn't just mindfulness we're talking about—it's mindfulness from the heart. Instead of gradually wearing away our resistance to the emotion or a little more quickly wearing it away because we're adding compassion, we can instantaneously transmute it because our heart is so open. There's a sense of even worship or communion, that even this emotion is an expression of the divine." – RamDev
