26. How to Invite Feeling Guests In

I love pausing for poetry and we do it today in episode 26 as we think about our feelings as guests that can come into our lives and stay a while. This episode features 13th century Persian poet Rumi’s “The Guest House” as I tell you why it’s wise to greet and allow our emotions and feelings into our body houses. If you have a hard time feeling your feelings, this is a must-listen episode. 

In This Episode I share:

• Why feelings matter and why we must invite them into our lives
• What happens when you tell feelings to go away
• Why the poem, “The Guest House,” is the perfect metaphor for feeling our emotions
