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

Exploring embodiment and self-realization, RamDev takes listeners on a journey through the four paths of yoga: Karma Yoga, Bhakti Yoga, Jñāna Yoga, and Raja Yoga.

This time on Healing at the Edge, RamDev discusses:

• Karma Yoga, holding both success and failure equally—offering everything to God
• Bhakti Yoga and dissolving the ego through devotion
• The obstacles of Bhakti: getting lost in emotions and secularism
• Jñāna Yoga, the path of philosophical and contemplative minds
• The importance of allowing clarity and knowledge to serve compassion
• Raja Yoga, the path of meditation and discipline
• Looking at crises as motivation for doing more practice
• Blending yogic paths for the synthesis of head, heart, and mind
• The benefit of sticking to one path for a deeper experience
• Becoming embodied in order to heal addiction and trauma
• How crucial it is to go beyond conceptual reality

“Modern practitioners often blend these paths. Bhakti softens Jñāna’s austerity, Karma Yoga grounds devotion and service, Raja Yoga provides stability and focus. The synthesis of head, heart, and mind is the integral yoga of our age.” –RamDev
