Hey you lovely,
It's Katie here and today we're going to walk through the feeling of loneliness together.
But before we do that,
Let's take a quick moment to let yourself just do nothing,
To not try and fix or mend the loneliness,
To not try and make it better or yourself better,
But to just let yourself be where you are without trying to change or fix anything.
And maybe take a nice deep breath as you relax into this feeling of the pressure being off,
Of you needing to be anyone or anywhere other than exactly who you are and where you are right now.
Sometimes in life it feels like all of the doors are closed.
Like no matter who we reach out to,
They can't quite meet us where we need to be met,
Or maybe nobody's there.
Maybe we find ourselves surrounded by people,
Yet feel incredibly alone.
It is all too common a feeling these days to experience loneliness and isolation and the white hot searing pain that can run through our body when we look around or we reach out and nobody's there.
And it's so difficult because we are meant to be with each other.
And if no one is there for you right now,
And you feel alone,
And you feel isolated,
It says nothing about you,
Who you are,
What you deserve,
Or your worthiness on any level whatsoever.
You came into this world deserving love and connection just as much as anybody else here.
And it very well could be that in this moment,
The loneliness is here because it has something to teach you,
To show you,
To help you integrate.
So it says nothing about who you are,
Or what your life is going to look like,
And everything about what your soul is ready to integrate.
The experience of being disconnected and alone can feel very intense,
And like maybe we are not capable of being with that feeling.
Like it's too big,
And it runs way too deep for us to even sit with it for a minute.
And it is also true that the more we resist the truth of what is here to meet us in the present moment,
The more difficult our experience becomes.
Can you lean into a feeling of trust within yourself,
And what you are capable of meeting and holding?
And that even if you can just soften a little,
And invite in a little bit of the loneliness without trying to change or fix it,
That's a start.
And that's enough.
Notice where you're resisting the loneliness.
Notice where you're being hard on yourself for feeling a way that is oh so natural to feel.
We are supposed to be with each other.
We are meant to be connected to people and places.
And when those things aren't there,
It is natural that we would feel a great deal of discomfort.
So having a difficult time with loneliness says nothing about you,
Says nothing about what you deserve,
And says everything about the very simple truth that there's just something you need.
You are allowed to have needs.
You are allowed to need connection.
And you very much deserve it.
That is something that is very simply not up for debate.
The feeling of loneliness is here for you to meet.
And can you soften even just a little bit into how that feels?
Give it lots of room to stretch and move and grow,
And room for you to take a break from trying to fix and mend something that very simply just needs to be felt.
There is a divine orchestration to your life,
And we don't need to always be figuring it all out.
You are being carried.
And right now,
This is where you are being carried to.
Right now,
Your invitation is walking through the door of loneliness,
And meeting whatever is on the other side.
You can trust exactly where you are in this moment.
In this moment.
And you can also trust that you won't be here forever.
Sometimes,
All of our connections fall off,
And all of the doors close,
And we feel terribly alone,
Because we are meant to get to know ourselves again.
We are meant to learn to no longer abandon ourselves,
And anchor back into our true essence.
To reconnect with the innocence we came here with.
And the more we do this,
And the more we remember who we are,
The more we connect to our innate worthiness.
And the more that resonance draws in the resonance of people who also see the same.
So sometimes,
There are periods of our lives where we feel disconnected and alone,
Because we are being invited to connect to ourselves.
And in doing so,
We'll then bring forward naturally,
The kind of deep,
Loving connections we have been craving.
But first,
We must take time to release the ones that are no longer in resonance with where we're going,
And what we truly deserve.
Take a moment to connect to your innocence.
To connect to your soul.
To that part of you that is always here,
And will always be here.
That all-knowing part that already knows that where you are,
And what you're moving through right now,
Is exactly right,
And exactly right on time.
If your soul could say one thing to you about this time of loneliness,
What would it be?
Take your arms,
And wrap them around yourself,
And just hold yourself nice and tight.
Feel the solidness of your human form,
And the solidness and strength of yourself,
And lean into the feeling of your own love,
And your own support,
And the steadiness of your own being.
Before we close,
I'd like to ask you my favorite question.
What would it feel like to accept yourself exactly as you are,
And where you are in this moment,
Without trying to change or fix anything?
Okay you lovely,
Thank you for tuning in,
And remember,
You can come back to this at any time.
It will always be right here,
Waiting for you.
I'll catch you in the next one.
