Welcoming Our Discomfort

Inspired by Mewlana Jalaluddin Rumi's poem The Guest House, this eleven-minute meditation guides you through how to hold your pain and discomfort in mindful awareness and how to welcome it all from a place of compassion and loving-kindness. The goal of this meditation is not to relieve the pain and/or difficult emotions completely but to get to know your discomfort so you can manage it from the inside out.
