About this listen

Following in the footsteps of the success of The Completion Process, best-selling author and modern spiritual leader Teal Swan offers an in-depth exploration and understanding of loneliness. Drawing on her extraordinary healing technique, the Connection Process, Teal offers a way to experience connection once again.

Loneliness is reaching endemic proportions in our society, reflected by rising suicide rates and increased mental illness. Now, more than ever, we need to find a way to connect. Loneliness is a feeling of separation or isolation; it is not necessarily the same as the physical state of being alone. This book is for people who suffer from loneliness, the kind that cannot be solved by simply being around other people. Their aloneness is a deeply embedded pattern that is both negative and painful; it is often fueled by trauma, loss, addiction, grief, and a lack of self-esteem and insecurity.

In The Anatomy of Loneliness, Teal identifies the three pillars or qualities of loneliness: separation, shame, and fear, and goes on to share her revolutionary technique, the Connection Process, a form of intuitive journeying, usually involving two people, a "receiver" and a "journeyer". Through a series of exercises, each person experiences "walls" and "blockages"; as they move through the process, both participants face their fears, learning from these to reach a place of unconditional love and acceptance.

The real work.

Teal has incredible insight into all manner of topics, but connection, and the process of integrating and healing from our pain, seems to be her most beautiful work. There are so many points in this title that I have to wonder if she's somehow seen into my own life to draw examples. It's a raw and desperately needed piece of guidance for the journey through our shadow, urging us to hold the fragments of our psyche with compassion, and to heal the connections between ourselves, our families, and our partners.
Thank you Teal.

Simply enlightening

I found this book difficult to listen to. Not because it’s a bad book or the voice is irritating but simply because you cannot listen to it and not have it effect you and make you think. It makes you question things and allows you to slowly work through emotions you might have hidden from yourself.

Small increments is how to listen and work through this book. Simply life changing. Best thing I’ve ever bought.
