- Welcome to this guided meditation for easing loneliness. This is a mindfulness meditation created to help you while in social isolation or even if you are around other people but feel a lack of social connection.
Loneliness is a feeling that will come and go. And it's normal. Even in a busy houseful of other people, or in a busy office full of colleagues, loneliness can occur.
Feeling lonely or like you don't have closeness with someone can make you feel low and can heighten other symptoms. Being busy, whether busy with tasks, busy with lots of people, or busy on social media, won't take away loneliness. Because it's about connection, and closeness. But being aware of your loneliness and making peace with how it makes you feel can help.
Loneliness happens as a response to the environment you live in. There are things you can do to ease the feeling of loneliness but the main mindfulness technique, is to realize that your mind is your true home. So keeping your mind calm and uncluttered can help you feel connected to yourself.
Three things to remember are:
1. Keeping a calm mind means you already have a calm home.
2. You can develop new social connections with new or old acquaintances at any point.
3. You can develop a closer relationship with people by really taking the time to understand what it's like to be them.
Make peace with your loneliness and anxiety. It might look like you're doing nothing. But often, this is when the hardest work is going on. And it's when you need that calm mind most of all. Thich Nhat Hanh talks about embracing loneliness here on this video • The Art of Embracing L...
Things may not have worked out the way you want them to. Perhaps relationships have soured or having an illness has limited your social life. But if you have a calm mind, your happiness will shine from within.
Be well, be calm,
❤ Clare

I research, write, narrate and edit free Guided Meditation videos for people who are suffering with chronic illnesses. I qualified as a Clinical Psychologist in 2004 but was creating relaxation resources for my clinical clients even before that (using a tape recorder 🖭).
Using my knowledge, soft voice and empathy, I create my meditations with the hope that they’ll reach the right person exactly when they need it. I hope this video brings you light, love and happiness. Thank you so much for watching my videos and for linking, sharing and subscribing.
I chose isolation as a coping mechanism for CPTSD as a kid and now at 60 I've really gotten myself in a jam. It's just me and it hurts like hell. Family barely connect with , do not regularly connect with anyone and too scared to reach out as the depression and anxiety are so bad that I cannot put this on other eg people on a regular basis . I just hope I can get myself out of this because there isnt anyone else to do it. I am also worried that God will make me love this life over because clearly I didn't learn what I was supposed to and I just can't do this again. I want to connect with the other side for some comfort and of course I feel blocked . I just wonder if anyone else could possibly be in this position as well. Seems like everyone has people they speak to every day or almost every day and I can't imagine going on like this for another decade or two. Each day is brutal. Thanks for listening
I feel the same way, and I am 59. I'm going through almost exactly the same as you are and feel the same way. I pray for us both
Same here....
Sometimes i think we make a group of such people.....just to listen one another
Hello. I just wanted to reach out with a hug for you as I sometimes feel this way. Circumstances forced me to move away from everything familiar to me and then almost immediately I became ill. Then got covid 3 years ago and stuck at home, often isolated for fear of new infections and even longer recovery times.
I found a few things helped me and I wondered if I could offer them to you - maybe they could ease your pain a bit as well. Every morning I do one of Dr Clare’s meditations and towards the end, I cross my arms over the front of me and hug myself gently with hands cupping the tops of my arms. I hug myself softly, the way a mother hugs a baby and it gives me the feeling of being nurtured which feels healing. I run my hand up and down my opposite arm gently - like soothing a restless baby and the stroked arm lays soft, receiving the comfort. Squeeze softly. Swap to the other arm.
I also pray and talk to God, a god who understands pain and rejection and He will never reject you because of pain you’ve suffered previously. God has a never ending source of compassion and forgiveness, which is hard for us to comprehend because we always run out of compassion. Please be compassionate to yourself and know that many people are feeling this way too.
I also write down each night, what I’ve done that day, in a journal. I’ve done this for twenty years and it really helps unburden myself at the end of the day. It’s a quiet time and an off-loading time. I don’t write anything remarkable, but I’ve discovered that it’s just the action of putting it on paper that is helpful.
I do hope that somehow you can learn to be gentle and forgiving to yourself. And that maybe a little of the Springtime warmth can encourage buds of self care, into blossoms of kindness and love for yourself. Do take care x
