Ram Dass April 6, 1931 – December 22, 2019

Of all the spiritual teachers who inspired and guided me over the decades, Ram Dass was my number one. I rejoice that he has now left his body, and I am broadcasting endless messages of gratitude to his beautiful spirit for the gifts he’s given to me and to the world.

In THIS VIDEO, he talks about what it’s like for healers to work with death, and the challenges of keeping our egos out of the way. It’s also an important teaching for those  who have a hard time letting go of loved ones who are dying.

And for bereaved parents, there is nothing more beautiful and more appropriate than his “Letter to Rachel,” offering words of wisdom to the parents of a murdered 12 year-old girl.

Blessings on your sacred journey beloved teacher. And thank you for everything you brought to us.
