Summary
Be guided in a meditation to overcome loneliness as you hold your hands in a mudra. This mudra is helpful in overcoming fear which often contributes to loneliness. It's a mudra that also supports your immune system if you suffer from allergies. You can do the meditation without doing the mudra. I always leave a photo of each week's mudra on my website at www.SipandOm.com, and sip and om's FaceBook page. This is part 4 of a 7-Part Meditations on Loneliness, Episodes 611-617. As always, you don't have to do the meditation techniques -- they are simply there to help you transition from your busy day to a state of stillness. The techniques also help to calm "monkey mind," when your thoughts continuously interrupt your meditation. For free meditation tools to help you start meditating please head over to my website at www.SipandOm.com, and there you'll find a multitude of free resources to help you on your Meditation Journey.

| 0:24.6 | Managing those times when you feel isolated or lonely, |
| 0:28.6 | whether you truly are alone, away from loved ones or friends, |
| 0:34.6 | or maybe you are in the midst of a crowd and you have lots of people around you, |
| 0:40.3 | even family and friends, but you still feel lonely because you may not feel like you connect |
| 0:48.3 | with those who you spend the most time with. And loneliness is one of the major precursors to depression. |
