Many blessings and welcome to this meditation on embracing loneliness and feeling the warmth and connection that is here.
We all go through seasons and chapters in which loneliness is present.
And at the same time,
Even through these seasons,
We are deeply held and loved.
And this meditation is a reminder of connection,
How we can be connected from afar,
Even with those we've never met.
And it's also a meditation to bring comfort,
A warm hug,
Even if it is energetically,
To know you are never alone.
Let's begin by taking a few breaths and on each exhale,
Let yourself soften and relax tension.
Feeling as though each breath brings a wave of peacefulness.
And that right here,
Right now,
You are held in this space and you can let go and soften and relax any tension.
And with each breath and each moment,
You may find that you are able to relax a little bit more.
Sometimes when we feel alone,
We can really tense up and clench in our body and our being.
And so we're beginning by coming into this loving,
Safe space together and relaxing,
Softening tension.
It may feel that way sometimes physically or even emotionally.
Yet on the deepest level,
We are connected.
You might even place a hand on your heart and just remind yourself,
I am safe.
I am loved.
I can let go now.
And on the deepest level,
There is a blanket of loving peace surrounding you and helping you to relax even more.
And this is a peace that is completely unconditional.
Available.
And it's a peace that is loving.
And this loving peace is an energy that is divine.
That is of the sacred fabric of life and love.
And as you feel this blanket of loving peace wrapping around you,
Comforting you,
You might even feel yourself sigh and just relax even more deeply,
Minding that part of yourself that might feel scared,
Alone,
Allowing every part of you to soften a little more.
In the same way that the earth nourishes and holds all of life.
So too,
The divine surrounds and nourishes and blesses all of life.
And so from all directions and in all ways,
You are held.
A child of the earth,
A beloved of the divine.
Through all seasons and stages of life,
Love surrounds you.
Taking a breath and feeling love that shines through every tree,
Every bird,
Every ant,
And every heart of every human being,
No matter how hidden that may be or clear.
There is still a light and there is still a love that emanates through and from within all of life.
And no matter how much anyone may try to from this love and this light,
There will still be a flicker,
A little glimmer of the essence.
And this light and this love emanates from within ourselves and and just taking a few moments to soften.
As if relaxing upon the earth on a soft bed of grass and feeling yourself held in the silent,
Yet very clear awareness of presence,
Of existence,
Of life.
And as you feel and allow yourself to relax and so deeply love,
And that as you open into this awareness in the ways that it's meant to,
And you simply open to this,
Are receptive to this,
You may even have a prayer in this connection,
Show me how connected I am.
And to trust and follow where you feel led to the places and the people and the things that bring a sense of wholeness to your life and happiness to your heart.
And to know that this meditation is always here for you.
That in this space together,
You may remember how loved you are and never alone.
It's natural to feel alone at times,
But to keep that faith that any aloneness you may be experiencing is only making you stronger,
More compassionate,
And ultimately leading into more and more love.
And deeper connection.
Knowing that you can listen to this anytime,
Sometimes simply hearing another's voice helps us remember.
And that as you relax and soften and continue to trust,
Your life may unfold in ways you couldn't have even imagined.
And that any season or period of loneliness has strengthened you and readied you for what is to come and what is to be.
And so,
With a gentle smile in your heart,
Leaning back into the arms of love,
Into the arms of life that has your back and is holding you and keeping you.
And as you move into the rest of your day or evening,
Continuing to nurture this sense of awareness,
Ease,
As your life unfolds in the perfect way that it does.
Thank you for sharing your presence and time with me in this space.
Sending a warm hug and oceans of love.
And may every blessing find you.
Many,
Many blessings.
