Settle in.

And find your calm center.

Place your hand

Gently on your midsection,

And release any tension,

Any stress.

PAUSE

Now, breathe deeply,

Slowly.

Deeply.

Feel your hand

Rise and fall

As it rests

On your midsection.

PAUSE

Living alone. Being alone.

These can sometimes be tough.

And, there are times in life

When we compare ourselves to others.

We see their partner, their marriage,

The children they have.

And we feel lonely.

PAUSE

Take a moment,

And acknowledge the loneliness.

Now, follow it.

Follow the loneliness inside you.

Where does it live?

How does it make you feel?

PAUSE

Allow yourself to sit

With the feeling of loneliness.

PAUSE

Now, breathe.

Breathe into the loneliness.

Visualize what your loneliness looks like.

And with each breath,

Imagine the loneliness

Breaking apart.

PAUSE

First, small pieces break off.

Then, as you breathe,

Larger and larger pieces

Fall away.

PAUSE

And, as the loneliness fades,

Imagine a single, purple flower

Pushing up from the remnants.

A beautiful, resilient flower.

And now, imagine yourself as the flower.

PAUSE

Notice there are no other flowers,

No other blossoms around you.

This magnificent purple flower–

That is you–

Stands alone in all its beauty.

PAUSE

Now, pause for just a moment,

And breathe in the beauty,

Resilience and strength

Of being alone.

Notice it’s different from loneliness.

PAUSE

As you breathe,

A soft whisper comes to you:

“Alone is not lonely.”

You repeat it:

“Alone is not lonely.”

You feel it:

“Alone is not lonely.”

PAUSE

And then the whisper changes,

And you repeat it:

“Alone is beautiful.

I am alone.

I am beautiful.”

“Alone is resilient.”

I am alone.

I am resilient.”

“Alone is strong.

I am alone.

I am strong.”

PAUSE

Remember,

Alone is not lonely,

But it is many things

That are you.

Carry those with you always,

So whenever you’re by yourself,

You’re not lonely–

You’re alone.

NAMASTE, BEAUTIFUL
