For When You Feel Lonesome (1/5)

Loneliness is a natural emotion that arises when we feel misunderstood or excluded, or when we find ourselves in a foreign environment (new circumstances due to fresh beginnings, migration, involuntary displacement).

Loneliness is a longing for deeper meaning and connection. Loneliness is an ache for love, acceptance, and community. And like all emotions, loneliness comes bearing a message. It is not always easy to sit with it and listen to its message. But if we find the courage, can it show us the parts of us that have been away from light too long?

This series of poetry meditations is helpful when you need to hold space for feelings of Loneliness.
This track is #1 of 5. We invite Loneliness for a cup of tea and read poetry from Nayyirah Waheed. The quote on interconnectedness is from Sogyal Rinpoche ( 'The Tibetan Book of the Living and Dying'.)

Beautiful and powerful meditation. A perfect reminder that emotions we often want to distract ourselves from, like loneliness, have important messages for us and our wellbeing if we are willing to invite them in and listen.
