It took me a while to learn that there is a difference between 'being lonely' and being alone.
For the longest time I would not fulfill any of my spiritual quests until I had someone beside me - whether that was Family, Friend or love interest. I spent years in limbo because I didn't want to be alone. I could not handle feeling lonely.
Fast forward 20 years or so and today I am alone during my journey at times however; I am not lonely. I have several #SpiritualSistasRock who either attend Meditation, Yoga or spiritual walks and bike rides with me. Even with these Sisters they don't always attend the same events that I do. And that is ok with me.
Yes, I do feel the difference in attending Yoga or Meditation class when they are not there; however; I am able to get into my practice knowing that yes, I am alone - not lonely.
I encourage you to begin/continue your journey whether you have anyone with you or not. I started my journey here in Atlanta alone however; after a few weeks I met some wonderful people - including teachers.
Have an 'alone journey' story and want to share?
Chime in.
Peace & Love
