Solitary confinement

There may be times in which you feel totally disconnected from others including the Source of all love. You may choose to call that Source God, the Universe, Creator. There are a multitude of names we have for what sustains us on a spiritual level. The humans from whom we feel disconnected may be friends, family, coworkers, a spouse. When we are disconnected in such a way it is like placing ourselves in solitary confinement. The day may carry little meaning for us and we wonder if things will ever improve. When we are willing to remove this self-imposed condition and plug into our relationships with those around us, we begin to feel a flow of life renewing energy. It isn't always easy to take these steps, but they are necessary for our well-being. We no longer have to be prisoners of our own negative thinking. Freedom awaits. When have you felt like you were in solitary confinement and what were you willing to do to release its shackles?
