The important part [of a solitude practice] is that you do something that gives you joy, that rejuvenates you. So, some people that could be just quietly knitting for half an hour, and just being with yourself or doing something that you love, that doesn’t involve screens that doesn’t involve flipping about on Facebook or whatever. It’s about dropping into yourself and doing it, which could be a hike. It could be...journaling meditation. I have my morning rituals as well. I do my Kundalini practice and my meditation. Exercise. And I start my day with that before anything else... What happens to you?... What would that be like for you?
