Jocelyn Is Grateful For Solitude: How Solitude Changed Her Life & Led To Her Awakening

Starting With Gratitude

🎙️"In solitude no one can influence or distract you - other than your Self. And at that point you have to ask your Self, 'Why am I distracting my Self? What am I distracting my Self from?" - Jocelyn
At the end of 2020, I decided to move into my own apartment, alone, with the intention to fully process and heal from all the losses I had recently experienced. At first, the solitude was incredibly challenging, as I naturally dove into shadow work to confront what needed to be confronted. Over a year later, as my solitude proceeds, I feel incredibly grateful I didn't run away from being alone with my Self, from listening to the calling to be alone and finally hold the safe space I'd needed to shed my Self from the attachments, illusions, traumas, etc. that'd been taking up space and blocking my clarity of who I truly am.
All the solitude and healing evolved into the most profound spiritual awakening I've experienced in my life. I have never been more grounded, more centered, more clear on my truth, my worthiness, my gifts, my divinity than I am now. So here I am, having this conversation with you, as I feel solitude is not only incredibly beautiful but incredibly necessary for those who desire to journey this life with peace of mind. Solitude is a gift you gift your Self, and it's such a special gift that will change you (in the best of ways - should you allow it to).
Topics I touch on in this conversation include:

• my own personal seasons of solitude
• fearing and enjoying solitude
• acknowledging when you need to heal
• doing shadow work
• how solitude leads you to your true Self
• how solitude leads you to awakening
• why solitude is essential for the mind
• restoring balance in your life
• societal and cultural programmings
• practicing energetic hygiene
• losing your Self after experiencing loss
