As so many are focused on their health in the new year, I want to emphasize the importance of how emotions affect our health. Loneliness affects 50% of the American population… of all ages.
As mentioned, it is the time of year where many are focused on their physical health. But we overlook a root cause to our physical dis-ease…and that is the root cause of toxic emotion. Emotions affect our health at the cellular level, and at the energetic level, changing our very being of vibration. When we feel joy we raise our vibration. The feeling of love raises our vibration. Laughter is healing. But emotions also lower our vibration... and LONELINESS affects both our brain function and physical health, as written in this article on Harvard.edu web-site. See my offer to help you by providing an energetic emotion release below.
Blackhawk Church in Madison, Wisconsin recently began a new year series on relationships called, “It’s Complicated”. – The topic of loneliness was presented by Michael Knapstad for the second message on January 12. The message shares how we are created to be in community with God, our Creator, and with one another. Knapstad speaks to people of all ages, he really nailed the topic in his first-time teaching on the platform of this growing church. You may listen to his message on Loneliness at this link. Below are some statistics that Knapstad provided:
I remember the moment I acknowledged a great sense of loneliness…it was on New Year’s Eve 2017. My children and I were celebrating with neighbors. At midnight, all the couples kissed their partner around a bonfire, as I watched. My husband had died a few years earlier. It was a defining moment, and despite being surrounded by friends I felt very alone. I realized I was not content to remain so... Even though I had a relationship with Father, Son and Spirit, I missed having a partner to bare my soul to and divulge my innermost feelings and fears to. I began 2018 with a mindset to begin dating again. My teenage daughter could not understand how I, with so many friends, could be lonely. I assured her that one day she would understand, and yet, even as a teen she has expressed the desire to have one peer that she could have deep conversations with.
Connection. It is what we all desire because we were intricately designed to feel so.
Perhaps, in reading this, you are becoming aware of how loneliness affects your life. I encourage you to find a community – whether a sporting activity, a book club, perhaps a group of empty-nesters, church bible study or peer group, or interest/hobby group. With the internet many cities have meet-up groups, or check your local library or church for events.
I urge caution with dating sites, as there are those who will "prey" upon the lonely (male and female) and try to scam you. Become wise, trust your gut. If your desire is to truly find a partner with whom you can be 100% your true self...then keep on keeping on. If one date does not work, move on. I encourage meeting within weeks for coffee or tea in a public location, for an hour, and intend to pay for your own beverage. (Dating is another topic in of itself!) After more than a year of many dates, God finally led me to a man whom shares many interests, and for whom both of us are comfortable in being our true selves, without pretense.
Seeking community can be very difficult for the introverted or shy individual – ask for courage! Your community does not need to be a large group. I have found that even in larger groups there will be only a few people with whom you make a stronger connection – whom you want to spend time with outside of the larger group. We need to be on purpose in fostering friendships, creating your safe community, and releasing loneliness in the many facets of life.
We are human. Designed for relationship. Longing for connection. If you find that you do not experience loneliness, you are greatly blessed! May I suggest you consider reaching out to someone whose energy you would welcome into your life, that may need a friend? Or perhaps you are a connector...and have the gift to foster a group that brings people together.
- Middle or high-schoolers who wish for one close friend they can connect with.
- The college student, surrounded by the student body, yet feeling a lack for the connection they truly desire.
- Those who are separated or divorced, whose relationship did not follow them to the end of their life’s journey as hoped.
- The want-to-be parents who ache for a child.
- Those partaking in activity that used to be a shared experience, perhaps with a pet, or a friend.
- The caregiver, putting life and all activities on hold while caring for a sick loved one.
- The widow/widower, whose vow of “til death do us part” comes sooner than ever expected.
- Those on Tinder, Match.com, Zoosk, eHarmony and more – looking for that kindred connection or spirit.
- Empty-nesters, whose children are grown and gone, and visit only on holidays.
- The elderly, who are confined to their homes or living quarters due to declining health, who long for the sense of missed community.

- Cigna study – 50% of Americans are currently experiencing loneliness.
- We are the most socially connected people in the history of the world, and statistically also the most lonely in the history of the world.
- Oxford Academic – loneliness is associated with a risk of early death that’s equivalent to smoking 15 cigarettes a day!
- Loneliness is more lethal than obesity.
- People connected to community were associated with 50% reduced risk of death.
