Welcome to this guided meditation for easing loneliness. This is a mindfulness meditation created to help you while in social isolation or even if you are around other people but feel a lack of social connection.
Loneliness is a feeling that will come and go. And it's normal. Even in a busy houseful of other people, or in a busy office full of colleagues, loneliness can occur.

Things may not have worked out the way you want them to. Perhaps relationships have soured or having an illness has limited your social life. But if you have a calm mind, your happiness will shine from within.
Be well, be calm,
