Self Acceptance - Short Poem By Rumi

Abandoning our feelings means to lock away a part of ourselves, and in that silence, trauma often finds its roots. Emotions, whether joy or sorrow, are the language of our inner world. When we push them aside or deny their existence, we inadvertently sow the seeds of lasting pain.

Just as 'The Guest House' by our timeless Rumi's wisdom teaches us to welcome all emotions, acknowledging and embracing our feelings is a necessary step in preventing the silent trauma that we might be holding on to unconsciously.

Let this realization be a gentle guide on your journey of healing and self-acceptance.

This being human is a guesthouse.

Every morning a new arrival,

A joy,

A depression,

A meanness.

Some momentary awareness comes as an unexpected visitor.

Welcome and entertain them all.

Even if they are a crowd of sorrows who violently sweep your house,

Empty off its furniture,

Still treat each guest honorably.

He may be clearing you out for some new delight.

The dark thought,

The shame,

The malice,

Meet them at the door laughing and invite them in.

Be grateful for whoever comes because each has been sent as a guide from beyond.

Thank you.
