This time on Healing at the Edge, RamDev offers wisdom on: Evaluating our practice and giving ourselves advice  Helping others on the spiritual path  The foundational work of dealing with fear, guilt, and shame  Underestimating how attached we are to pleasant mindstates  Right effort and sitting with our suffering rather than running away Doing all things from the mindstate of guru seva versus ego Considering what we have faith in and if we need heart work or mindfulness work Looking at how constant our practice is and how we can bring practice into daily activity  Bare attention and mantra as a resource for continuous mindfulness  Being centered as the perfect balance between stress and relaxation  Developing spiritual confidence via facing uncomfortable feelings  Holding space and being a guide for someone who is averse to spirituality   "Running away from our demons makes them real. One of my main jobs as a guide is to tell people to sit still and be with that demon for a little while. Lean into it. Comion can only arise after there is direct with the quality of suffering. You can't short-circuit that fundamental step. You can't heal something until you can meet it directly, nakedly, intimately."– RamDev See at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info. 2l605q
