loneliness meditation: 20 Minutes Guided
Loneliness Meditation (20 minutes)
Welcome to this meditation on loneliness. We are going to explore the depths of loneliness, and how we can connect with ourselves in this space.
Take a few moments now to get comfortable and let your body relax into the ground beneath you. Feel each part of your body as it relaxes one by one, starting from the crown of your head all the way down to your toes.
Now, close your eyes if you would like and turn your attention inward. Imagine that all of your worries, stressors and anxieties have left you for a moment and that instead there is just an expanse of solitude within yourself. Breathe deeply into this space.
Think about what loneliness means to you personally – what does it feel like? Where do you experience it in your body? Is it tightness in the chest or heaviness in the stomach? Take notice of whatever sensations arise without judgment and allow them to pass through you like waves on the shoreline.
As these feelings move through, try giving yourself some compassion for feeling lonely – there are many people who feel loneliness at various times throughout their lives so it’s important to remember that you are not alone in this feeling. You can recognize this feeling as something that is natural but also strive towards acceptance of yourself no matter how lonely you may feel right now.
Let us take a few moments now to reflect on how our minds respond when we experience loneliness – do we fill our minds with negative self-talk or judge ourselves harshly for feeling such an emotion? Can we be gentle with ourselves even when we feel isolated or disconnected from others? Notice any thoughts or judgments as they come up and gently guide them away as if they were clouds passing through an open sky; then return back to awareness of our breath again.
Now let us imagine what life could look like without fear when we accept our own vulnerability – rather than judging ourselves for feeling lonely, can we embrace the opportunity for connection with others? What relationships might bloom out of such openness? How might this lead us closer towards peace? Pause here for a few moments with these questions and bring some curiosity towards them before moving on.
Let’s bring this meditation to a close by taking several deep breaths into the space around us, allowing any remaining tension or emotional residue from our exploration today drift away with each exhale. When ready come back slowly into consciousness, bringing a sense of gratitude for spending time exploring such an important topic today – reconnecting with ourselves in times where we feel isolated can be immensely beneficial towards self-growth and wellbeing in general; ultimately leading us closer toward fulfillment in life long-term.
