| 0:05.0 | Welcome to the Daily Meditation Podcast. |
| 0:09.0 | How are you doing? |
| 0:12.0 | As we continue along with our series this week on social isolation and in |
| 0:20.5 | today's episode you're going to be guided using a simple yet powerful breathing technique to help you feel more connected with others. And I want to share with you a little insight into what loneliness or I actually means the true definition. |
| 0:50.0 | The famed psychologist from Reichman declared loneliness to be the want of intimacy because she says that real loneliness is distinguished from mourning because the well-adjusted |
| 1:18.0 | eventually get over mourning and from depression which may be a symptom of loneliness, but is rarely the cause. |
| 1:29.3 | Loneliness, she says, is the want of intimacy. The psychologist John Casiopo says |
| 1:40.8 | loneliness is not synonymous with being alone, |

| 2:46.0 | So I decided to bring on a few sponsors of this podcast, whose products I think you might enjoy and I'll do this every once in a while and you can see if these resources are a good fit for you. I know that for myself sometimes |
| 3:07.0 | just knowing there are time-saving healthy options out there is comforting even if you don't actually jump on the |
| 3:17.4 | product and start using it. So today's the first episode where I share a time-saving resource that can bring some calm |
| 3:28.9 | to what is likely, if you're anything like me, one of the most hectic parts of your day, and that's |
