In this episode, RamDev gives insightful perspectives on: The instability of the heart and how fear, guilt, and shame keep us closed off Why we are so reactive to the chaos of world events and how to respond with wisdom instead Practical ways to work with fear, guilt, and shame so the heart can open moment to moment Embracing our divine nature without denying our humanness The power of grounding and trusting in the body as a source of safety Learning to fully receive the support of the earth and the Divine Mother Living in a third chakra society where power is out of balance Becoming an embodiment of mercy and compassion rather than idolizing power “Fear, guilt, and shame are the demons of the first, second, and third chakras, respectively, and until we have worked with those emotions in a direct way, it is really impossible for the heart to be open in a stable way.” – RamDev About Dale Borglum: RamDev Dale Borglum founded and directed the Hanuman Foundation Dying Center in Santa Fe, New Mexico, the first residential facility in the United States to support conscious dying.
