"Are we practicing so we can run away from suffering and push it away? Or are we practicing because we want the truth? If we really want the truth, then suffering is gonna be grace.

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)

Offering wisdom at the spiritually potent merging point of boredom and nonduality, Ram Dev explores how we can become aware of subtle feelings to 'mind the gap' and rest in the wholeness of nature of mind.

Teaching us how to 'mind the gap,' trust our subtle emotions, and rest in the true nature of mind, Ram Dev invites us into the 'abyss of radical surrender' to remember who we are as consciousness, awareness, and love itself.

"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)

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.
