HOW CAN WE BE HAPPY ALONE?

I’d like to share an experience which was an awakening of my heart.

I’ve always been ‘in my head’. A very mental person. A deep thinker. But this contributed wildly to anxiety and over the years I really struggled with it.

I’d been seeing an incredible healer for a while, a soul healer. And she stressed the importance of ‘getting into my heart space’. It seemed like such an abstract concept at the time and it took me a few months to understand and begin to embody this concept.

One day I randomly came across a video project where a willing participant was followed and they had to voice their thoughts aloud as they walked down the street. He was mainly thinking about a difficult breakup and as he voiced his thoughts, I noticed there was a stark contrast between the speed and frequency of his thoughts, to mine. My ‘norm’ was to think thoughts at 100mph, racing in circles from one concept to the next and his were…infrequent. I knew something had to change.

A few days later I was reading a book which gave me a revelation of such magnitude (in relation to some fear based experiences) that I reached out to the author to thank him. I didn’t expect a response.

But he did… And with his response he gifted me with another of his books, which taught a healing meditation which moves you from your head, and into your heart. Divinely guided? Oh yes.

So I began the technique. Not solely meditating at a set time, but carrying my meditation practice with me throughout the day. Wherever I was, my thoughts were still and I embodied the space in the centre of my chest, the Heart Chakra.

A few weeks later, another event gave me another revelation; that I sought to make my world safe out of control, which is typical when the back heart-chakra is closed. When I realised this and suddenly released my control, my heart fully opened (front and back) and I spent the next 3 days in a pure state of unconditional love, for all people, all things.

I’d not experienced bliss like that before, but love poured out of my heart for everything around me.

Then, I realised… Of all things, humans seek connection above all else and not feeling connected with others drives them into a state of hopelessness. But, I realised that it’s not even necessary to have romance to experience love, because that love already exists within you.

It’s just a process of peeling back the layers of your conditioning and moving from your ‘head’ and into your ‘heart’. In my case, it was dedicated meditation practice and repeating to myself: “I AM love” “I AM love”.

Words are power. If you start repeating that to yourself, overtime you’ll start to feel and believe it… And say goodbye to loneliness forever.
