Hosting Anxiety: A Guided Meditation with Rumi’s Guest House
About this episode
This isn’t about banishing anxiety — it’s about giving it a chair without letting it redecorate your whole damn house.
In this 10-minute guided meditation, we breathe (4-7-8), welcome every messy emotion, and drop into Rumi’s timeless poem The Guest House as a reminder that every feeling is a visitor, not a life sentence.
You’ll leave grounded, steady, and anchored in the truth: you are not the guest — you are the house. And the house always stands.
