Some women are very social, enjoying a big party or going out to lunch with friends more than anything. Others prefer peace and quiet; they would stay home no matter what a tempting invitation offers. There is no wrong choice here, but there is a common pattern: the further a woman is on her path toward spiritual enlightenment, the fewer friends she has.
So why do meditation, mindfulness workshops , and even small steps toward enlightenment leave us feeling lonely? When we understand that humans have “neuroplasticity,” meaning that the brain can change and adapt, we can see what has created this dramatic shift in our preferences.
The more we use our “visionary brain,” the more we crave peace, joy, nature, and privacy to truly experience enlightened, worry-free happiness.
7 reasons for this:
1. Our energy changes
When we achieve more peace of mind and spiritual connection, we have less need for superficial companionship. We are more drawn to meditation than to empty conversations.
2. We are on a personal path to peace
The more we grow spiritually, the more we prefer our own personal path to peace, uninfluenced by the noise or directions of others.
3. We become more selective with friends
True friends who understand this path are rare, so we only create connections with those who truly resonate with our inner peace.
4. We choose the spiritual life over the traditional one
We do not choose solitude, but a life centered on God, meditation, and inner content becomes more important than a classical social life.
5. We seek deep connections
We are no longer attracted to superficial relationships, we want sincerity, openness, and conversations with deep spiritual meaning.
6. It's hard to find people who understand us
Spiritual experiences are so unique and profound that few people can understand or share them.
7. Complete enlightenment is rare
For most, enlightenment is a profound but rare experience. This path requires concentration, solitude, and constant spiritual practice, not a noisy life.
