15 Minute Guided Meditation
Also today I would like to share with you one of my favourite mindfulness poems that helped me a lot recently. Read this slowly and aloud, and let me know what you think:

The Guest House
By Jelaluddin Rumi, translation by Coleman Barks

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 are 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 whatever comes.
because each has been sent
as a guide from beyond.

Why not leave a comment below, drop me an email, or head back to the social media that linked you here and leave a comment on how you got on. Any questions are also very welcome! 

Thanks for joining me for Day 30, I hope you liked it!

See you tomorrow!
