The Guest House
“This being human is a guest house.
Every morning a new arrival.
A joy, a depression, a meaness,
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 thoughts, 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.”
Our consciousness, our ability to know and understand ourselves, precedes our embodiment. Sometimes it can take a minute for our somatic body to catch up with our consciousness. The offerings found on this page are in service of being in healthy relationship with yourself. Gain the tools to radically welcome and listen to the intelligence of your emotional body. Turn inward, face yourself, and develop a strong witness of your being in order to grow in all areas of Self and life.
We don’t get to choose what our emotional body needs to express and move through. There is an intelligence here. If you make a conscious decision to not feel anger, or sad, or any emotion that has been labeled negative and “bad,” you will equally lock yourself out of your joy, happiness, pleasure, truest desires, and healthy states of being.
When we hit a sensation, a big emotion that has a strong authority, we can get confused and close off from ourself, and the world around us. Our brain takes over, and tells a story about the sensation, putting ourselves back into old belief systems and trauma patterns.
Learn to fully embody what is wanting to move up and out. Listen to what your emotions are telling you, compost what is ready to release, develop a boundary system and wellness practices that foster nourishment, a resourced nervous system, supportive relationships with yourself and others, authentic joy, happiness, and pleasure. Welcome and witness all of yourself home.
