Being alone can be tough sometimes: the loneliness, the heavy-hearted weight of not having someone to connect to, can be profoundly painful. On the other hand, being alone can be deeply rejuvenating when we use that time for connecting to our own beingness. We can take our alone time and open our awareness and hearts to ourselves verses extending our hearts and minds towards others or getting caught in the variety of distractions and attractions our minds can be pulled into.
