At some point in our Awakening journey, most of us wrestle with some form of aloneness, loneliness, or deep isolation.
We can feel actually physically isolated, meaning we have been called to withdraw, be on some kind of more hermetic path. Or we may still be surrounded by all of our continuing relationships, yet still feel really alone because the Awakening process is differentiating us.
The aloneness of Awakening and the pain of loneliness can cause a lot of suffering, self-admonishment and frustration. We can become disoriented, losing a sense of our “fixed points” around community, friendship, and family, etc.
In my work, I meet people in all states of grief and misunderstanding. Grief and misunderstanding generated by the pain of loneliness, inundated by self-criticism that there is something wrong with them for experiencing that, yet flailing because they have lost energy or capacity to connect with others at the moment.
Watch the video as I talk about the different ways that people can experience this kind of aloneness and why it happens to us. The most important thing I want you to understand is that for most people, this deep aloneness is generally a phase that actually has some very specific transformational purposes which are accomplished during it.
There are misaligned relationships that I speak about here.
There is the cultivation of profound spiritual awareness, wisdom, and gifts. There is the ability to live in alignment with who you really are in your Awakening.
In the time of isolation, you are building the foundation of your return to the world more fully embodied in your Awakening.
I see clients and students often shift from being agonized by the isolation to finding deep solace in it as a respite and a place to bloom as Awakening purification and gifting deepens.
In the video, I give you tips, perspective and understanding so that you can rest with more ease on what is not only a painful but a very meaningful part of your journey.
And remember, it is not forever!
Let me know your thoughts and reflections in the comments below.
May this video bring you safety, confidence, peace, and the capacity to expand more deeply on your own Awakening path.
Big love,
