You might feel like taking a break from the world around you today which might compel you to seek solitude at home today. Withdrawing from external concerns may be an indication that the innermost aspects of your self need special attention today. Perhaps you can use your time alone to truly reflect on your life, your relationship with other people, and your place in the world. You might take some time to sit in meditation, calming your breath and bringing your attention to yourself. As you continue breathing gently, try visualizing the connections you have with others – perhaps seeing them as threads of a web that bind you all together. This could help you to realize that even when you feel the most alone or secluded today, you are actually an integral part of a complex system of relationships and that, no matter what, you will never truly be isolated.

Even when we wish to be alone, we are never really divorced from the world. In fact, the times that we feel like we most wish to have quiet and privacy often indicate that some part of ourselves wishes to think more deeply about the impact others have on our lives. Consciously reflecting on this, through visualization or meditation, allows us to see the ways in which we are part of a larger, integrated whole. Using your time at home to ponder your relationships more deeply will give you greater insights into how you fit into the rest of the world today.
