Rumi Guest House Meditation

"This being human is a guest house / Every morning a new arrival." We use Rumi's beloved poem, The Guest House, as the template for a meditation that guides you to picture your inner guest house and its "unexpected visitors". Take time to acknowledge and offer compassionate, listening hospitality to whatever inner realities and emotions are yours right now, experiencing as you do both some appropriate distance from these guests, and your own spaciousness as their host.

Thanks Rachel. I’m coming round to this poem and trying to be a good hostess! It’s a work in progress. This practice was so helpful and i will return to it.

Wonderful way to understand all our inner guests are part of life’s journey and teach us, if we are willing to invite them in and listen to their lessons.

Very helpful. I usually don’t find visualization meditations to be effective for me, but this was great. Thank you!

I've benefited from reading Rumi's Guest House for many years and this guided version allowed spaces for some further growth. Many thanks 😊❤

Wonderful. I have enjoyed the wisdom of Rumi, however I've done well with a practice. What a gift this is. Thank you, and much gratitude.
