About this session
- Eases loneliness
- Inspires connection
- Opens the heart
- Lifts your mood
Livia Devi begins by separating aloneness, a chosen time for reflection and self-care, from loneliness, the ache of wanting people near. She then asks what single step you could take next. Afterward you see yourself laughing, hugging and holding hands, finish with both hands over your heart, and smile.
It suits anyone who has been spending long stretches on their own and wants a gentle push toward other people. Try it after a day of working or commuting, late at night when your thoughts turn inward, or early in the morning to set a more open tone.

Questions people ask
Still unsure? Ask your assistant anything about this session.
What is the difference between aloneness and loneliness here?
Livia describes aloneness as a good quality: time for introspection, self-love, self-nurturing and reconnecting with your higher self. Loneliness is being alone and wanting connection while feeling you lack human support. She calls them two facets of the same coin, and says long stretches of aloneness can tip into loneliness.
Why does she say one step is enough?
She asks you to name the action you will take today or tomorrow, such as calling a friend you haven't seen for a while or joining others. Once you take that first step, she says, it builds like a snowball. Stepping outside the comfort zone brings more excitement and safety than you expected.
What does she mean by the false sense of safety in loneliness?
She says loneliness can feel like a safe space, so it seems like your whole reality. In fact your reality is much larger. The session invites you to look outward and notice how safe you can feel with many people around you, and to come out of your shell.
What do I do during the visualization?
You see yourself surrounded by friends and family, laughing, hugging and holding hands, and let your body feel what it is like to receive their love and joy. Then you add socializing to your routine and imagine who you become in that version of life. If you have no group yet, you can feel inspired to create one.
Why are my hands placed on my heart at the end?
Near the close, Livia asks you to put your right hand over your heart and your left on top of it, then smile. It lets you feel in your body how good it is to be with others and be nurtured. You then return by feeling your seat bones and the soles of your feet.
Does she say I should stop spending time alone?
No. She says you can give yourself moments of aloneness whenever you like, and that it can be a short, temporary choice. Her point is that you don't need to be lonely unless you choose to be.
