A Sense of Belonging

As someone who very much likes and needs to spend time on my own, periods spent with others are truly valued when they uplift and inspire. Meaningful interactions are treasured for the warmth of conversation, the shared laughter and appreciation for the humanness of all life has to offer.

These moments may come with a call, a coffee or an unexpected encounter. They may be planned or spontaneous, a couple of hours or fleeting minutes in passing. Either way, they are gratefully and joyously accepted for the connection that they bring.

One of the many opportunities for social engagement is through online community groups that bring people together from all over the world for thought provoking and purpose filled conversation.

I’m very blessed to have met some beautiful like-minded people through these types of community and I’ve often left interactions with a profound and deeply
satisfying sense of calm and belonging. It is such a soul-nourishing experience to be in a space where collective energy is unquestionably palpable and so deeply felt.

It is incredibly validating to share experiences with like-minded people who genuinely understand and accept your needs, empathise with challenges, appreciate vulnerabilities and openly celebrate in your achievements, free from judgement and competition.

I’m always grateful to carry this energy through the day and I’ve realised how essential it is to have this human connection, not only to raise individual frequency but also that of an entire community.

Sometimes we actively seek out these opportunities and sometimes, they have a way of finding us. However it works, I do believe in universal synchronicity. It is our intentions that create movement and it is our frequency that holds vibration for creativity, learning, knowledge, fulfillment and growth.

The significant benefits of a stronger sense of connection through community are undeniable. It can literally be the lifeblood that holds us together during difficult times and a source of comfort, joy and support that is wholeheartedly cherished and embraced.

Take a look at what’s on in your local community and what aligns online where you can cultivate friendships and flourish. You may be delighted and surprised at the many possibilities for heartfelt human connection!
