Tweet “You must want to burn yourself in your own flame; how could you rise anew if you have not first become ashes?” ~ Friedrich Nietzsche All conflict is in truth a burning away of conflict itself. Pain makes us tired of pain, and although the confused mind revels in its distortions, there is a […]
Tweet Student: I want to ask you to help me surrender, so I can choose a direction with faith and stop second guessing myself… Ramgiri: Surrender is the sweetest word in my language. In my world it does not mean to ‘give up.’ Rather it means to open to love – to surrender the shell of […]
Tweet Love is mysterious. No one can say they know what it is, and yet there is no one who does not know it when it comes. It is impossible to understand pure love, the love of God, our deepest love. This is because, no matter how we are experiencing love, the experience transcends the mind […]
Tweet Life is vast and profound. All power resides in life. It goes on by itself, it lives us, we are like passengers on a ship. Life inevitably takes us where we need to go due to karmic forces we have set in motion, and we have no control over that. We have choice only […]
Tweet Love is neither a weak emotion, nor an escape! It can be as soft as a feather and as sharp as a sword. If anything has ever changed and elevated the world, it is love. All other impulses end up spinning in circles. What would love do for a soul, who is as confused […]
Tweet I am writing the following in the evening after Durga and I arrived at the home of K.K. Sah. We sit down together as if no time at all had lapsed since our last meeting, continuing our conversation of hearts. I share with you some thoughts that come to me as we sit here […]
Tweet Who is free? The one who is free to come and go, to do as she wills, or the one who has surrendered her mind to a greater cause, the cause of truth or of love? To the degree we think freedom is what the ego wants, we are blind. There is no freedom […]
Tweet What some may think to be archaic tales of a foreign religion, the great Indian epics of Gods and demons are in fact the most sublime psychology of the higher Self. With the key to their true meaning these ancient blockbusters will reveal to us the great perennial wisdom taught by the highest sages. […]
Tweet HeartSourcing Yoga is not therapy. It’s not to improve your life by increments; it’s to set you free, radically and for good. After years of sitting on therapists couches this became clear to *Linda when I asked her if she wanted to question her belief, “I was damaged.” She was just getting warmed up […]
Tweet Bringing The Work of Byron Katie to Miami by Ramgiri Braun, Ph.D. She comes through the hotel lobby waving. She sits down in the car and it starts. She is in a hurry she says. The hurry to free us of suffering. Why? Because she does not experience us as ‘other.’ She loves herself […]
Tweet Remember the joy you feel when you made someone happy. What a privilege it is! What wonderful instant gratification for the giver—and it is one that doesn’t turn sour later on. To the contrary, the more often you do it, the more you will benefit, the happier you will become. When you ‘make someone […]
Tweet >> The following is an except taken from Ramgiri’s book “HeartSourcing: Finding Our Way to Love and Liberation”, released Sept. 2014… Our quest leads not only to the end of time, the NOW of the mind, but also to the end of space, the HERE of the heart. To be present in both is […]
Tweet When we have a powerful awakening experience it creates ripples, like a rock thrown into a pond. I’ve experienced this ripple effect since going into the heart so deeply last Sunday, with the feisty old pain body throwing at me whatever it could come up with to get me to fall unconscious and suffer. I […]
Tweet There is formal meditation and stillness in action. Meditation is a core skill; if we make it a daily habit, it will soon be a constant source of rejuvenation and peace. Before long we won’t want to miss even a single day of our practice. But to practice stillness, one doesn’t necessarily have to […]
Tweet Remember the joy you felt when you made someone happy. What a privilege it is! What wonderful instant gratification for the giver—and it is one that doesn’t turn sour later on. No credit card bill comes due on this experience. To the contrary, the more often you do it, the more you will benefit, […]
