"The pandemic was one of the best things that happened to me. I'm finally having a lot of time alone, no job, no friends, no interaction, and I'm enjoying it.." -- Anna Costa
"Wisdom comes in silence of the mind ! Your true self comes out the moment you are aware that you're not your mind . You should not let your mind tell you who you are and how to live your life , is your hart you should listen . Truth reveals itself in silence. I like your peaceful and loving energy "Awaken Insight" ! God bless You ! -- Marius lordache
"I have just recently found you on here. I have spent A LOT of time alone throughout my life. I have always enjoyed my alone time as I work in the customer service industry. The last few years I have dealt with physical health issues injuries and a surgery which had caused me to be more isolated than ever and then this pandemic hit..... Still an essential customer service worker yet more isolated than ever in my personal life for so many reasons. I have been finding comfort in different voices on YouTube that help me in knowing that I am not alone. And this is a perfect time to reflect more and understand and love myself more. I listen to Alan Watts and different vibrational music daily since April. Now, Nada, you have brought a new level to my days. I thank you! I especially like your videos when you are outside because if I am not working I am sitting outside and relating to my backyard surroundings and habits of nature. I have been scrolling through some of your past years yet I hope that you will continue with this journey of sharing as a student of life like me 😊 " -- Theresa Hanson
"Its kinda strange being me in a way. I usually don't care wether people like me or not because I am so lost in my own world learning things and creating arts and music. I mean at the same time I also don't want people to talk bad about me or lie about me for no reason. I mean I leave them alone so they should leave me alone too. People can be very toxic when they want to. Because I used to have problems with people because they had negative interpretations of me I would just walk into the woods to be alone and focus on the arts and lose myself into a wonderful world. Not losing touch with reality or anything just a world of thinking positive thoughts in a peaceful environment like the woods beside streams etc. Or I wil focus on the people who I do get on well with and relive good memories." -- Exploring Biblical End Times
"I absolutely love time by myself where I can ponder on life, myself and just learn to accept myself. I feel harmony here, unconnected from the other reality, but more connected with what life is. I love this time. 🌸 -- Sammi - Love is the Answer
"I’ve been alone most of my life. Except the company of pets, I was forced into mixing when married, but it went across the grain, so now, largely I choose life hermit style. I need a non superficial friend who is well awakened, then it could be beautiful...but doubt meeting such w soul will be possible in this life" -- margaret robertson
"I think it takes a long time (~years) to de-condition yourself. I am just trying to be a witness to my actions, thoughts, everything. I see the resistance that comes up as a result of learnt values. I see a contest between the reality and what I think reality ought to be and even that contest is a part of reality. I have a lot of anxiety about everything but I chose to stay away from what I consider shallow materialism to be alone at home." -- Rithvik Sreekantham
"I began my spiritual journey as a result to spending time alone. For years prior to that, I had always felt lonely, and un-relatable. I then began to learn more about myself in that time I spent alone. This year, I then decided to reach out to people more and engage as a way to "come out of my shell". However, since I've evolved spiritually , I have become un-relatable once again. I didn't want to be "alone" anymore, I wanted to share my growth but nobody really understood me. Lately I've been confused on how to go about finding solitude because of how I have disconnected from many people and energies...I wanted to share this in case anybody else could "relate" (haha!)" -- Aphiwe Mdiuli
"The Peace I get being with my dogs alone is worth more than a million dollars to me. I can spend numerous hours in the park with my dogs per say and get a peaceful meditation in which leads to a Peaceful day, week, year and I love it. I will never trade this time in for anything or for any person in the world. We also walk approximately ten miles throughout the day and night through the woods and on the beaches. They have taught me more then any tricks I've taught them in our Lifetime. Unconditional L❤️ve." -- Lisa Lane
"you might find yourself when you are alone for a period of time" Daniel olsson
"Very beautifully put. What you are describing is the teachings of the Avaita teachers. For most practical teaching today that can be lived in everyday like is Roger Castillo the pupil of Ramesh Balsekar. Just really liked your delivery ....thanks. As humans we all experience fear ( from a mild uncomfortableness to sheer terror) of being alone and not part of a group in which we experience a sense of safety. This s why we go to great lengths to be accepted and approved of by the Group. Recognising this fear and just letting it be there will result in one day totally dissolving." -- Graham Travé
"Thank you" -- Mohana
