Navigating boundaries through self-honesty and staying grounded, Ramdev teaches listeners how to say no with an open heart.

“It's pretty easy to say no with a closed heart. It's pretty easy to say yes with an open heart. But, can you say no with an open heart?" –RamDev

This week on Healing at the Edge, RamDev discusses:

• The seven chakras throughout our development
• Feeling worthy of receiving the profound blessings in each moment
• The psychological perspective of boundaries: saying no lovingly
• Getting into the energetic body of boundaries
• The necessity of being centered & grounded in order to set boundaries
• Opening to God and others without being overwhelmed
• Leaving behind fear, guilt, and shame in order to accept love and keep the heart open
• Practicing self-honesty and mindfulness so that we can set strong boundaries

“Would it be possible to have good, strong, appropriate boundaries if you were not centered in the first place? Would it be possible to have some ongoing loving relationship with yourself, with God, with another human being, if you were not centered?” –RamDev

Cultivating spiritual intimacy, presence, and love beyond emotion, RamDev explores stabilizing the heart by deeply rooting love into the second chakra.

This week on Healing at the Edge, RamDev offers insights on:

• Rooting love into our lower belly versus the heart
• Sensing a deeper kind of lasting, foundational love within our second chakra
• Love, which is more faithful and devotion-based rather than emotion-based
• Concerning oneself with being loved rather than feeling love
• How can we love our neighbor and worship God in every form?
• Working with pain through spirituality
• Repeating mantras from the belly
• Coming into intimate contact with death

"One of the most reliable ways to stabilize love is to seed it, to feel it down in the lower belly, the pelvis, the second chakra. This is not a withdrawal from the heart, but a rooting of love into embodiment, gravity.” –RamDev

RamDev reflects on the simultaneous depth and simplicity of mantra, highlighting his own transcendent experiences across devotional practices.

This time on Healing at the Edge, RamDev dives into:

• Receiving miracles from Hanuman and the sense that all things are already taken care of
• The power and depth of mantra practice, despite its simplicity
• Shifting from mechanical repetition to embodied feeling and heartfelt presence within the mantra
• Allowing mantra practice to soften, open, and color the heart with devotion
• Conventional devotional practice and making a bridge to God
• Entering tantric devotion as a path of unity—becoming one with the deity rather than worshipping from afar
• Becoming the essence of the mantra and awakening the divine energy in our bodies
• Drawing comparisons between tantric devotion and the Buddhist Heart Sutra
• Realizing that it is all one as we transcend through layers of devotion

“You are the essence of the mantra. The mantra is not a tool, a pointer, a technique; it's the full manifestation of the divine. It’s awakening divine energy into your body with each repetition.” –RamDev
