Devour or Be Devoured—Ram Dev illuminates ancient Tantric approaches for digesting emotion, stress, suffering & trauma in the modern world.
This podcast is brought to you by BetterHelp. Click to receive 10% off your first month with your own licensed professional therapist: betterhelp.com/beherenow
Tying together previous topics around working with stress, dancing the Tantric 3-Step, and Devouring The Mother, Ram Dev outlines foundational Tantric wisdom around dissolving samskaras, transmuting energy, and digesting emotion rather than being devoured by life.
"There's an attitude that makes this total devouring of energy much more possible: an attitude of amazement or wonder, 'Wow, my mind is really angry right now!" You can cultivate being fascinated in your emotional reactions without believing or disbelieving them, but being curious about where it's coming from." – Ram Dev (Dale Borglum)

"Right now you're sitting in your body, your butt's on the chair, cushion, or sofa. What does that feel like? Can that be the portal to resting in nature of mind? Can we use boring sensation to take us directly to that place?" – Ram Dev (Dale Borglum)

Dale Borglum shares a guided meditation practice that creates space for self-compassion and allows us to meet what arises in the mind with clarity.
What is your suffering, your deepest wound? Are you ready to face that suffering head on? If not, then it won't matter how much meditation we get in, how many books we read or how many different practices we expose ourselves to. In order to truly get free, we must first start by letting go of what is keeping us stuck in our judgment, fear and anger.
In this special episode of the Healing At The Edge Podcast, Dale guides us through an extended practice that points our awareness and love towards the sensitive places in ourselves that we are resisting.
