This time on Healing at the Edge, RamDev holds a talk on:

• The four qualities that lead to the heart (loving-kindness, compassion, joy, and equanimity)
• Finding meaning through connection to self, others, and God
• The path of the heart versus the path of inquiry
• Dying into the heart rather than attempting to find everything out
• How on-going, unprocessed grief makes it difficult to open the heart
• Trusting both the light and the pain
• Equanimity as the foundation of the heart
• Having devotion to awareness and the sangha
• The many available paths to consciousness
• Invoking that which we feel devotion to during our meditations
• Integrating practice into daily life

“In the Bible, it talks about ‘pray without ceasing’, and the only way you can do that is if your practice goes so deep into yourself that it’s happening without you doing it because other times you’re doing other things. The quality of the prayer saturates the cloth of your being, you’re colored by the prayer.” – RamDev

“Life is hard. You’re not getting out of this one alive. You’re going to grieve, you’re going to lose, that’s the nature of reality. But, that doesn’t mean we have to harden to it. That doesn’t mean we have to be cruel to each other.” – Chris Beaudry
