SELF-LOVE SELF-LOVE SELF-LOVE SELF-LOVE SELF-LOVE SELF-LOVE SELF-LOVE (say these words instead of "loneliness"). Remind yourself of your divine nature, tell yourself how loved you're by mother Earth, by the Creator, how beautiful you are (like a flower, which is pure beauty, without needing to be recognized or complimented), how far you've come in life and the moments that made you feel alive. You got this! I believe in you. I love you. Do you love you?

Every week I am think this is the best talk and share it with friends, then another talk /practice happens and then becomes the best talk. You are so on target. Deep heartfelt gratitude

A wonderful teaching and exactly what I needed to hear this morning as I prepare for work. I have struggled with a sense of loneliness and separation my entire life and have made many life mistakes as a result of trying to distract myself from that sense. Now, in my late 50’s I am working on or trying to lean into it, but I still find resistance. Listening to your talks really helps and provides a balm for my soul I am unable to provide for myself at this time. Thank you for your generous offerings and for providing this space. I will continue to do the hard work, by allowing my loneliness to cut me deeply. 🙏 ❤️

Mrs Brach, Thank you as you are like an oracle for insight into ones life. Be well.

So awesome to hear your voice and listen to your wisdom. Thank you for taking the time out of your life to create these videos and share them with the world. Many of us need to hear these messages again and again. I certainly do.

Flash forward 4 mos. No end ...

Feeling lonely but not embarrassed by it. It just IS.

I let it cut me more deeply. And I felt the beloved. Thank you ever so deeply Tara, ever so.

What a beautiful gift! Thank you! 💗

We are friends! In love and light! With deep gratitude! namaste

Again, So much WISDOM in your words, so much LOVE in your heart. Thank you for REALLY making a difference. Love T

Tara, I love your talks but this one really hit to the bone! 1 in 7 lives alone?! That sounded so lonely, and that's me! All your stats about people that live alone and all the reasons why, it was very depressing for us that live alone!! 😝 No, we are not guilty of something because we live alone and I know I have been running away from living on my own my whole life, even though I've done it from time to time throughout my life. I've started relationships just to not be alone, but who hasn't?! ....BUT NOW, I dare say that I am more conscious and aware, so really, I think it hurts more to be on my own, kind of living on the edge more, feeling the pain.... HAVING SAID THAT, there are many times of contentment and calm, and I really feel that too! It has really taught me so much, and TRULY, HOW CAN ANYONE LEARN ABOUT LIFE, until they have lived alone. It should be mandatory for everyone! There's a lot of lessons to be learned, and a lot of positive as well.......AND! there's this too... I'm learning big time right now, no one to joke around with, no one to share my sadness with, no one to hug me, it's very hardcore! I'm not sure I will ever feel comfortable with it. I have to do it now, I have no choice, and really, being on my own was for self-growth. I could have gone out and had another relationship, but purposely have not done that yet! Maybe I'll actually be a better partner next time, I think I will.....But, I might not ever have another partner again, and I've had to come to grips with that, I'm 63, but a very young 63....we all have a cross to bear, and this is mine for now, and I'm learning, and sometimes I cry too. Also, so many people don't want to be alone and they will do anything to keep from doing just that, some are in dysfunctional relationships because people don't want to be alone....been there, done that. I would much rather be alone than stay in a mediocre or dysfunctional relationship, so that's a victory and healthy.

So glad to hear you speaking, in depth about such an important subject. So needed right now. Your truth & honesty is very helpful.

I had a dream last night, after a recent emotional purging, of Tara coming to me and being a comfort in person, bless you Tara 🙏

Thank for for your wisfom. Loneliness is such sn epidemic in the world today esp after covid. If I had family close by would help. I also lost both my pets a few months ago. I didn't realize how much comfort and companionship they gave me. I'm not adopting again.

I’m so thankful for you

You are so beautiful. I love to hear you speak.

Yes, this is so me. Isolated by loss before pandemic, worse now. Thank you and so wish had soulmate at this time. Well, guess I have you. Namaste.

It was great when you said the Earth is our mother who holds us all in her lap! It reminds me that in the sacred Sikh scriptures it says: "Air is the Guru, Water is the Father, and Earth is the Great Mother of all. Day and night are the two nurses, is whose lap all the world is at play." (near the end of the Japji Sahib poem)

Thank you for this today, and for your friendship and partnership over the years. You are so strong and powerful, and so beautiful! From Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. 🔔💗

Namaste from Michigan!

Thank you for this. Loneliness and disconnection I feel occurs because of a poor connection from a primary care giver as a child. An overall feeling of less then that's stops us from reaching out and connecting to other people. Shame is a big force in loneliness. It is quite deep rooted and technology has made it worse. I agree with Carl Jung. The subconscious must become concious to achieve happiness and love. Self love is all.

Kinds of conflicting messages. You started a the talk by saying how loneliness can cut short a person's life and then you read the poem about letting the loneliness cut deep. It's really conflicting. Also I did feel the beginning information of loneliness cutting one's life short is upsetting. Because when a person is lonely, like myself, it's not something that one can control. It's a process and it's best to sit & work with it. So I don't feel the beginning information was necessary and it was more upsetting that helpful. Just to let you know.
