Guided Mindfulness Meditation on Feeling Alone - Isolated or Lonely
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 фев 2025
- 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.
@@whowearereally6494I just got out a long term relationship and it I was the one cheating:/. After we parted she acted like I had a chance to make up for everything and that’s when I showed no emotion when I left because I was angry.then the second I open up and say more than I ever have in the time we were together she turns a 180 and just doesn’t give a damn ig if I deserve that but not the mental abuse over the months and years and that leg pull. Don’t be a shitty person be glad for what you have in the moments and help others that’s what i learned..
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.
❤❤❤❤
Hugs to you fellow soul. You are loved. And he is with you all of the time in spirit
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.
🙏🧘♀️💞🙌
sending hugs
I understand, I'm on the same path as you. It can feel so hard sometimes. Hugs
@@kelseymathias3881 thank you 💛
@@ElyseArtiste Yes, thank you 💛 It feels a little better knowing I’m not the only one 💛🫂
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.
It's so hard to be alive at this time. I am with you. Your soul is strong. May you have peace and comfort ❤
This gave me a moment of peace. Thank you.
I want to share my little story why i choose this meditation today even if it's very pathetic. I recently went to physio therapy and my therapist is just beautiful.
I know i never will have a chance with him or anyone else for that matter and I know I'll probably always be alone as I have been all my life...i just wish for one genuine hug today from a person who actually cares for me. I don't have anything to offer but i really think i could love someone good.
I probably make no sense so just thank you again.
It makes so much sense. Your feelings matter ❤
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.
❤
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. ❤️🙏
Your light is much needed in this world and I hope you know that you are special and capable of incredible things. I wish you lots of love, health and success on your way 🌈❤💙🍀💚💛🌈
Tysm 😭🥹
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
I have bpd and do (major depressive ddisorder) i know exactly how you feel. Your not alone im walking that same dark road, its cold and sIm a recent suicide surviver. After getting help my now exwife and daughter wanted nothing to do with me. Moved all my belongs to my mothers house... whwn i needed them the MOST. That lead to divorce. At times i feel very empty kinda like a ghost wandering rather than living life. Desperate for true love. But I have to learn to love me before i can find the true love I seek. I hope your doing better now.🙏... remember your not alone
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!
@@MindfulPeace thankyou
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.
I identify with the idea of being surrounded by people but feeling utterly alone. So tired of living like this. Praying for change. 💔
This meditation is particularly comforting and reassuring.
I'm so glad! ✨🩵
Thank you
Thank you for your work. I appreciate it
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..
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 am dragging through this dark place just now. Feel that your soul would be a bit of light…)))
@@ludmilaprikhodko9795 It can be hell, but the only way to see tomorrow is to wake up the next day. I've been teetering very close to the edge of the cliff, but life itself is going to have to push me down before I quit holding on, whether I like it or not.
May 2024. Beautiful, thoughtful, much needed meditation. It was also very thought provoking. Thank 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! 💜🙏
We are never really alone. We are always loved and admired. 🎉
I really feel so lonely rn but thx to this meditation that I will do everyday I will feel better about myself moving forward and I’m
hoping that I do get new friends soon in person and online but your videos are great
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!
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! 🙏
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
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
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.
I was at a park where I grew up under a big tree that's sadly not there anymore. My cat who passed away in 2012 was with me and strangely one of my Crow friends that I feed nuts in the park 😅😊
Thank you so much for your clarity and compassionate way of talking. 🙏🏻❤️
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! 🙏❤️
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 am praying with you. I pray that mediation can help alleviate the loneliness. Many of us suffer this way. Face it, feel it to heal it. Allow this energy to make you less lonely and be well. Let it cut deep as it does and the healing begins❤
This is wonderful. Thank you
Thank you for doing this work. Your voice is so comforting and genuine. 💗
Wow thank you!
Great meditation! Your channel is one of my favourites for meditation. It’s really great how general yet soothing you are. Thank you!
Thank you for helping me manage my emotions! 😭😊☺️😌 I really needed this! 🙏🏼
I am a loner at heart, but I'm missing my Mom and my Grandmother deeply right now🤍🙏🏾😢🕊️🕊️
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!
Thank you again. Every time, your words touch my heart. Blessings. Elisabeth x
I'm so glad it is effective!
This did help somewhat.
Thank you. 🧘
Beautiful! Love and light!
I enjoyed this video. You have a light within you. Thank you for sharing your Spiritual gifts...
❤a sincere thank you much appreciated
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 so much
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.
Rad how you covered both Aloneness + Loneliness 💕
Thank you. I wish I could hug you ❤
Aww here's a virtual hug 🤗
@@MindfulPeace 🤗❤️❤️❤️
Such a great inspiration,
thank You for sharing
8/23. Wonderful and helpful video. Thank you.
I really want to break down and cry
Thank you so much for this meaningful session. We just lost a dear pet and this was so helpful. Bless you. 🙏
Amazing meditation, ❤️ I sincerely appreciate and receive this powerful connection 🙏 🙌
Thank you❤!
Thank you so much❤
I've been struggling to give these feelings room, but this helped, thank you
Thank you so much
You made my day❤
Thank you!😢
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...
Grateful. Peace
I absolutely love this and feel comforted by it. Kudos to you my friend. 😃
Awesome! I'm glad it worked well for you.
Beautiful🌺🙏💚 Thank you
Observe compensating behaviour which may suppress the feelings, but do not change them. Eating, alcohol, obsessive shopping, other addictive behaviours. Many have loneliness as a root.
I needed this so much today,so glad I found your channel ❤
Just what I have been looking for I thank you so much ❤
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 😌
Wonderful 🙏❤️❤️
Thank you!!
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.
In spirit, I got your back.
I'm sorry you've been through such a hard time! Hope you're feeling at least a bit better now. Maybe call Samaritans if need be? May you find true friends.
@ hi. That first comment was from 7 months ago. I’ll say I’m about 50% better now. I’m still in rough shape but consciously trying to improve.
I really love your meditations 🙌 Thank you so much 🙏🏻
I'm a lonely guy that had a beautiful woman but she chose drugs over me and her kids. How and what?! I made good money, took care of family, and our love life was awesome. 😢 I feel like I spoiled her and want enough. 😭
Wasn't *
Feel alone😢
Big Thank You jist discovered hv gt day
Thank you🙏
thank you for this, you made my day brighter :)
Thank you
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
❤❤❤
Hope you do not get weary of the thanks…..😢 Blessings to you…and 🙏
Never! I always appreciate it and take it to heart!!
This guide doesn’t understand what real and distressful loneliness IS. I just felt worse.
🙏
Love his voice but this is too sad for me
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?
I miss my son but he is on Foster care
i imagined that i was cuddling my big dum husky. i miss him so much
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. 🙏
Anyone in Australia?
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!
😢
I’m moving on into retirement at 65, no kids, no husband and so-called friends are few and far between. It doesn’t feel like it’s worth going on but too scared to do anything about it.
There many of us like you, let's all hold hands in the spirit of our energy...
I hope you can find a sense of joy and purpose in your life, whether it be in nature, finding gatherings of people with similar interests or hobbies, whatever it might be... 🙏
I have been ronery my whole rife.
Thank you!😢
Thank you
