Guided Mindfulness Meditation on Feeling Alone - Isolated or Lonely
Вставка
- Опубліковано 25 лип 2022
- This is a new guided mindfulness meditation on loneliness and feeling alone. In this session, we will focus on finding a deep sense of peace within ourselves, even when we may be missing loved ones or a pet who we wish were there to be with us and provide comfort in our most vulnerable times. It is also possible to feel lonely and isolated even when there are many people in our lives. Meditating on this will help us to realize that feelings of loneliness can be a natural occurrence. But, if we practice mindfulness, it will help us to be more present and at peace, better able to cope with whatever situation we find ourselves in.
Let the dialogue and ambient music soundtrack guide you. There are about 11 minutes of guided meditation and then 3 additional minutes of silent meditation to end the session. You are not alone!
This video was created as part of a research grant project at the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh. Thank you to Clinical Social Worker Alison Noyes for sharing her expertise on the subject of mental health.

I have been alone and lonely most of my life. Thank you for putting the real loneliness in a special way. Love and Light.
Hope you find someone who cares about you. Its ok
Hi Virginia -
I’m sorry things are going that way .
I have struggled with the same thing my whole life and I have to wonder and I often think that I don’t make it that way, but I really do have to wonder-“ if ((we do))make it that way”?? ((unconsciously…))
I myself am afraid to commit to anything because of the past, not working out, so so so many times, my guess is we’re going to have to let go of that fear, and do it again and again, and again, no matter how much it hurts again and again and again, until it feels good again and again and again…. Your acquaintance- who we really are. J
I'm going through the same thing here. And I hate myself for this.
Loneliness and isolation was a huge problem during the worst of Covid, but just because the situation is better, doesn't mean that many do not struggle with these feelings! Whether you lost a loved one, are far away from friends or family, or miss a pet, this session is made to help us better understand feelings of loneliness and find a deeper sense of inner peace. 🧘 Thank you for joining me!
Very helpful and soothing. Thank you.
❤
I identify with the idea of being surrounded by people but feeling utterly alone. So tired of living like this. Praying for change. 💔
I am a lonely over thinker - who has lost friends due to different opinions during this politically charged time -and truthfully my whole life due to over thinking
social.media has exposed so much negativity - it is hard to find d likeminded people- thank you for this video- I am so grateful for your work.
You are welcome, I hope you can find a balance to maintain friendships despite differences
Social media & COVID have changed everything. I think many of us are experiencing the aftermath of a traumatic experience. Most people take to social media to attack others with thier own inner anger.
Thank you for giving me a few minutes of calm.
My husband died two years ago and I am alone. We met late in life. We have very few relatives and they live in another country.
I have no one to talk to about how much I miss him and how often I cry at night when I should be asleep.
I wish you only the best. I hope you will be able to recover someway. I'm sorry for your loss. you're truly a strong soul.
Lonely I am a woman who is lonely with out my husband and when he died my life was empty and my heart was broken Thank you
I am so sorry my mate died two years ago, so I empathize ! May you find peace of mind! ❤️🙏
Werd...
Keep pushing threw they want you to be happy remember the good times and life your life to the fullest god boss
Donna, I wish for you joy and peace. You will eventually find peace.
I am lonely for many reasons. Infidelity destroyed my marriage. I contacted (3) fatal STDs, which have destroyed my ability to love again, along with turning 65, and l am a companion to my 94 year old mother, so I still wear 😷 masks and I have no community, on top of that, I am agnostic, but I feel overwhelmed by Christianity which caused me PTSD & Trauma. I also can not walk my daughters puppy because there are alligators in the canal behind my backyard that come out onto the grass and the property, so I am always in fear and on high alert about that and on top of everything else I have nightmares every night. So this is a tough life that I'm living and not living well.
Today was the first time that I sobbed....two years after my husband's death.
I'm sure it has done me good. I love your meditations and your voice.Thank you.
I'm so sorry for your loss, but am glad that this helped a bit. ❤️🙏
I don't know who you are.. but your voice and at least 2 of your videos have stopped me from progressing in my episodes.. your videos help bring me back to reality.. I live with such pain.. in my head and heart.. and everyday feels more and.more like I can't take it.. so thank you.. for your videos.. and the thi gs you say..
so hard I've been lonley for years bc of abuse feel like im ticking of days ,your right noone should live like this
Thanks for this 🙏🏽💞💞💞
I hope things get better for you!

May 2024. Beautiful, thoughtful, much needed meditation. It was also very thought provoking. Thank you!!!
My loneliness is so difficult but this mediation has really helped me feel tht I am not alone 😢. Thank you 🙏 for caring .
I hope you feel a lot better by now, I wish you all the best
Thank you for this. I found a friend recently, but their emotional bandwith is already stretched so thin that I guess there just isn't much room for a friend, only an acquaintance. That's just how it's been, hoping and wishing for a friend, find a potential friend, get to know them, they sorta get to know me, then somehow I'm left with more emotional baggage than I had before knowing them, like they just needed a non-committal emotion dump so they can just get on with whatever they were doing. I feel like I'm wandering a desert of solitude and I keep seeing mirages that look like friends.
I’ve felt isolated and depressed on and off my entire life especially around my family. I’m not connected to them anymore due to abuse and many reasons.
Last year I went into deep depression after the loss of my dog. I started my healing/ spiritual journey.
I was feeling good most of this month May 2024 but not having family or friends is difficult and for some reason it really hit me today. I feel that most of the ppl around me are on very different paths and don’t understand me. I sound crazy explaining my spiritual journey to them so I isolate.
Thank you for this meditation and for all these comments. I don’t feel so alone now.
🙏🧘♀️💞🙌

Hey man. I just wanted to tell you that I found your meditation on joy 8 years ago.
It was my go-to guided meditation when I was starting out this practice and you were one of my main motivations to keep practicing because it was so pleasant.
Thank you for helping me along that path.
Wow, thanks so much! I'm amazed by comments like this.
I’m another responder who wants to mention your meditation on Joy; it was 7 years ago I was diagnosed with MS and I found your Joy meditation. It was incredibly uplifting and reassuring when I most needed it! Seven years on and I initially ignored this meditation, thinking: ‘I’m not lonely’ But then I was jolted by the realisation that I can feel agonisingly lonely in having MS. Those times when I’m the odd one out in the group, or am perhaps failing in trying to explain what it’s like; the worst being when I feel my husband doesn’t get it! (Not often I’m glad to say! He’s a star and I couldn’t do it without him!) So, I’ve just done this meditation and immediately felt the benefit. Seven years of living with MS and seven years of your wonderful meditations to enjoy and assist my life as a person with this disease.
Thank you.
Wow, I know a girl who stuck in her home with MS and her boyfriend left her/wants to leave her. She’s really struggling. Can I hook U2 up her handle is crazcarchic
Rad how you covered both Aloneness + Loneliness 💕
Thank you so much for your clarity and compassionate way of talking. 🙏🏻❤️
I needed this 🙏🏾 I love your meditations so much, have been such a a game changer in my life. I’m so grateful for you!
This did help somewhat.
Thank you. 🧘
Thank you for this beautiful message and meditation. It comes to me at a time when I needed to hear your message and calming voice. I cannot thank you enough… you truly have a gift! 🙏❤️
Beautiful! Love and light!
❤a sincere thank you much appreciated
I really want to break down and cry
Thank you for doing this work. Your voice is so comforting and genuine. 💗
Wow thank you!
Thank you so much for this meaningful session. We just lost a dear pet and this was so helpful. Bless you. 🙏
Thank you..actually followed your suggestion to write down…the 5 positive thoughts…..my life has placed me in a solo position….feel very alone…thank yu for your meditations…..seriously need to learn to practice, not just listen….
Will listen again tomorrow morning….thank you 🦋
Yes, keep up the practice... I hope it continues to get better for you!
I myself would like to just thank you for this meditation.
A lot of the times I think well, these people are making money off of this stuff so they’re here for that reason but, you’re also helping so many people.
I didn’t think after 40 years of practicing this stuff that another meditation would help me, but this particular meditation really helped me on a particularly horrible Holiday weekend where I just felt like OK, I’m gonna be alone again…. So thank you so hugely
DO YOU understand -when we say thank you it’s not just thank you -
you changed everything moving forward ((for days ))for another human being. Who feels they are suffering.
Thank you again. ❤🎉
Thank you so much for the kind words! The monetization helps me to keep making these on a regular basis, but it makes me so glad that it helps people every day! 💜🙏
Lol, lol, loool, at the moment of the last affirmation, somebody literally stepped into my meditation space: I am not alone indeed. It made me smile so much. Felt really good. Thank you so much for this❣️
You are so very welcome! Thank you for listening.
I really love your meditations 🙌 Thank you so much 🙏🏻
I have bpd (borderline personality disorder) and i struggle currently the most with loneliness because im in the middle of trying to heal and everyone who im currently friends with doesnt relate to me at all. Neither does my family. It kinda feels like im fighting a battle all alone which i suppose i am. But im learning how to be my true self and im appreciating the journey even with these lonely feelings ❤ your meditation def helped reboot my brain to feel more present and relaxed
Amazing meditation, ❤️ I sincerely appreciate and receive this powerful connection 🙏 🙌
This video helped me break down years of emotional walls in minutes and I finally found the place in my mind that makes me the happiest
I'm so glad! 🙏
Such a great inspiration,
thank You for sharing
thank you so much
I needed this so much today,so glad I found your channel ❤
Since, my husband left me 5 years ago, I am so lonely, everyone has their own life established, I am so sad..praying for change.
Wishing you peace and healing. 💙

I'm so glad it is effective!
I feel better after listening to your meditation. My body was so tense 😅I was about to do yoga forever. Now after listening my body has relaxed 😌
thank you for this, you made my day brighter :)
Thank you so much❤
I love your meditation videos John but I do have trouble with the affirmation “I am not alone” because I am alone. I have no one.
I am so sorry to hear that... I hope there is a way that you can connect with people, nobody should be alone!
Hey, how have you been?
Thank you🙏
Thank you!😢
Thank you. I wish I could hug you ❤
Aww here's a virtual hug 🤗

8/23. Wonderful and helpful video. Thank you.
Big Thank You jist discovered hv gt day
Wonderful 🙏❤️❤️
Thank you!!
Allow me to share what I imagined. I imagined being on my father's old property. Still alone but it was different this time. I wasn't lonely. The rain beating on a tin roof as a sat on his front porch made from plywood, staples, an old oak tree turned into support beams for the overhang, and all held together by hope. Johnny Cash and Marty Robbins was playing on his old analog radio. The sky looked as if it had opened up to expose the universe in all of its beauty. I could see stars, planets, galaxies. All for me to behold and witness. I saw the bonfire pit with the warmest looking fire burning as if it were actively trying to spite the rain. I could hear the creeking of the old chair I would sit in with every movement and shift I made. This was my space and I urge all of you to share yours, as describing it helped my better picture it.
Im live in palestine i feel lonely and scared i feel the danger lurking in every corner bombardments occurs suddenly hope to go in peace quickly...
❤❤❤
🙏
This guide doesn’t understand what real and distressful loneliness IS. I just felt worse.
Hope you do not get weary of the thanks…..😢 Blessings to you…and 🙏
Never! I always appreciate it and take it to heart!!
I am too ugly to attract women. Too depressed and “weird” to have normal friends. This has been my entire life. I’m 26 now and at the edge of just ending it all. The loneliness and isolation is too much to bear no matter what other success may happen in my future.
People aren't kind and loving
Many aren’t but some are, but if you’re loving and kind to yourself that’s definitely a plus!
my mom passed away at only 46. ever since then so mhch has happened and im struggling with lonliness. im trying to tell nyself im not a victim and be strong but the feeling of needing someone is hard💔 ill keep on going
No shame. You are in pain. You are
I miss my son but he is on Foster care
Anyone in Australia?
i imagined that i was cuddling my big dum husky. i miss him so much
if you ever feel lonely and have no one to talk to, i am here for you, just text me)
I'm here
@@remydoeshussain7836 whats your insta?
This was working certain degree but your vague instructions frustrates me too much so I can’t finish it and I’m leaving. You’re like, “think of a memory… Maybe it’s… A pet… Or maybe“ i’m just like WHAT KIND?!? Am I thinking of a happy memory or a sad one!? How am I supposed to pick one if you won’t even give me the category?!
but maybe this stress is exactly why I need to meditate more 😅
Thanks I'll keep this in mind for future sessions to be a little more specific. 🙏
I have to say that in general I find SO many American accents, jarring and irritating. The nasal quality and the raising of the end of sentences - you do neither of these, your voice is gorgeous, and soothing and it seems to be so genuine, soft and caring. Thank you for this
😢
Thank you!😢
