Overcoming Spiritual Loneliness

Within the spiritual community, we often share the sense of loneliness and isolation we sometimes experience. However, it is not easy to fully enter the fragility of this topic. It makes us feel vulnerable and somehow still disconnected. 

I consider this experience a natural, yet uncomfortable, part of the path. It doesn’t have to happen to everyone, but it is likely that, at some point, the awakening journey will take us into a quiet and empty phase.

When we walk the conscious path, we move through many stages and layers of realisation, enlightenment and freedom. Some are more pleasant than others. Some help us to see who we truly are and release the false self in all its encounters and ways of being. The layers of letting go are many, often intertwined with a rise in vibration and shift in our everyday personality. Within these specific layers, we might stop vibrating at the frequency of many friends and people in our lives. I personally believe that if someone is "meant" to remain in our reality, they will. However, often during the time of awakening, many people do leave our field. 

We create from a different vibrational point, and often it takes time to see the new manifestation in the physical world. People and relationships are no exception. 

Over the past few years, I found myself experiencing a great sense of loneliness. Before waking up to my spirit, I was the typical person with tons of friends everywhere. My childhood was pretty lonely and full of etheric connections, but from my teenage years, things began to change. I always lived with people, filled my life with their lives, and constantly shared thoughts or experiences. Then the awakening process opened up my wings, and everything changed. I started to feel the need to withdraw inside, and my whole world imploded with me. Many close friends suddenly left my life at the time, without a reason or with reasons. I felt as if a tornado was moving within my field, cutting away many cords of attachment to the people that was time to let go. 

The Universal Law of resonance clearly explains that we can connect only with energy that is in resonance with our vibratory field. I believe that it is true. However, I also trust that our hearts can raise the frequency of everything. If we love someone, the vibration doesn't matter; the love we share for each other can help us realign. But love is an active verb. We constantly choose to love someone. If we stop choosing to love, then everything will vanish. If the resonance is not present in its full capacity, it might require more effort and energy from both parties to realign. We can do that till it feels comfortable and right. Sometimes, we have a very long soul contract with another, and within that period, there can be ups and downs vibrationally as well.

An effective way to overcome the experience of loneliness is to remember that it is just an illusion. It is easier to say it than constantly remember it, but this is the key. We are a big soul field, expressing itself through different forms and identities. Nothing is separated, nothing is “lonely”. Although the matrix knows how to enchant our human eyes into the illusion, we can remember the truth with our hearts. We can sit or pause for a moment and feel the connection we have with everything. We can imagine the strings of light that are connecting us with the people we love, even if they are not present. We can choose to sense the invisible net of love that constantly surrounds us and breathes into that field, replenishing and recentering. When we feel lonely, we truly feel disconnected from ourselves and the world around us. We can break the illusion by reconnecting to the field of love at any time. The more we do that, the more our system will automatically do it for us. 

We can transform the experience of loneliness by merging with the natural world. When we walk in a park, by the sea, or in the woodlands on our own, we have the chance to listen to the subtle voices of nature. While spending a few years in a cave of integration, I often asked why I needed to let go of many relationships and be in such a quiet space, where I was talking more with trees than with people. The relationship with nature and the invisible realms is a relationship like any other human one. Although there is no ego involved, it still requires space and time to flourish. When we are busy with life, jumping from one thing to the next, one chat to another, we can easily miss the voice of Spirit.  

Yes, we are social creatures that need and can benefit from a community. But we are also much more than that. We can build a new world of real connections only if we are fully connected with ourselves in the first place. We can share much more beauty, healing and wisdom if we have reclaimed our ability to listen to our soul and the spirit in everything. If we can listen to the quiet voice of a tree, we can receive the authentic voice of another human, even within a space of chaos or reactivity. We have mastered our inner earring, and that gift is powerful. 

Furthermore, we can enhance the connection with ourselves through the intuitive arts. When we sing, dance, write or paint from a deep place within, more acceptance and love can emerge. Through a conscious creative art experience, we generate a wave of reconnection that washes over our entire being and lives.
