The Guest House

This being human is a guest house.
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're a crowd of sorrows,
who violently sweep your house
empty of 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.

~Rumi



You are enough.
Just as you are in THIS moment,
You are enough.

Worry not about the future.
Fret not for the past.
Be here, right now, and BREATH.

Feel your lungs rise and fill with life.
Feel your heart beat in tune with the pulse of mother earth.
Pause. Take in the expansion of your being.
And then, ever so slowly,
Experience the relief of your exhale, the joy of letting go.
Be with your emotions, but judge them not.
Simply FEEL.

Allow yourself to flow into the next moment.
The next breath.
And then the next.

With each cycle, envision yourself more free.
Free to laugh.
Free to enjoy.
Fee to love.

You are one with the flow of life.
You are a precious piece of the whole - essential, needed, appreciated.

Gift yourself with Awareness.
You are enough.

Namaste
