## Resource

This guided Christian meditation invites you to welcome all the guests inside—the emotions, memories, and parts of yourself that arrive at the door of your awareness. Whether you're new to contemplative prayer or a seasoned practitioner of Christian mysticism, this meditation offers gentle guidance for meeting every inner experience with compassionate presence. During this meditation, you'll be guided through practices that help you greet difficult emotions and challenging thoughts with hospitality rather than resistance. Christian mystical tradition teaches that everything that arises within us can become a teacher when we meet it with love. This meditation draws on the wisdom that our inner guests—even unwelcome ones like fear, grief, or anger—carry messages and gifts when we're willing to welcome them in. This meditation pairs beautifully with our daily meditation and communion services. Find a quiet space where you can sit comfortably and practice radical acceptance of your inner experience.
