The Human Body as A Guest House

Trigger warning, tender alert- this episode contains the mention of a woman I know losing her child.

................

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

There is no emotional experience that can't be embodied. Desirable or undesirable, the deep embodiment of being here requires our flesh tingles with life during the places our intellect wants to avoid. 

We are here to experience connection, with our pain, with our bruising, our elation, confusion, tingling ecstasy.  There is no feeling that can't bring us deeper into an unselfconscious experience of embodiment. Plopped in the buzzing centre of our lives and our hearts.
