Energy healer and author Linda B. Riddle has released a new guide titled "From Loneliness to Reclaiming Joy" to address what health authorities have labeled a public health epidemic. The guide offers body-mind-spirit practices designed to help individuals restore inner steadiness and reconnect with themselves amid widespread social disconnection.
The release comes as national health leaders have identified loneliness as a critical issue. A 2023 U.S. Surgeon General's Advisory labeled loneliness and social disconnection a public health epidemic, citing long-term health risks including heart disease, depression, and cognitive decline. Riddle's approach differs from many interventions by focusing inward rather than on external action, starting with awareness rather than judgment.
Riddle describes the guide as "a missing puzzle piece in the journey toward healing" that reflects her 20+ years supporting individuals through emotional healing and energetic alignment. The practices within are designed to help readers shift their energy gently but meaningfully, offering both immediate relief and sustainable transformation. "Loneliness is deeply layered," says Riddle. "It doesn't always look like being alone. It can hide behind a busy schedule, a high-achieving exterior, or even a smile."
The guide contains several key components including grounding practices to regulate energy flow and restore balance, techniques to quiet mental overload and bring the mind back into focus, compassionate affirmations that support emotional connection, body-based practices to calm the nervous system, and a holistic daily rhythm designed to anchor connection into everyday life. Riddle emphasizes that the guide is for "the person who's stuck, exhausted, or feeling invisible" and is about "reclaiming your spark, one breath and one step at a time."
As part of her broader approach, Riddle also offers a holistic self-assessment framework available here designed as a gentle starting point for self-reflection. "Awareness comes before everything," Riddle says. "When you can see what's really happening emotionally, physically, and spiritually, you can finally choose your next step with clarity instead of just coping."
The guide represents the beginning of what Riddle describes as a larger movement toward joy, power, and connection. Many who begin with the guide go on to book a one-on-one Flourish Forward Consult, which can be scheduled here. During these sessions, Riddle offers customized insight and energy-clearing work to identify where disconnection may be stored in the body. "The body keeps score," says Linda. "Loneliness often shows up physically, such as tight shoulders, throat constriction, or heaviness in the chest."
From Loneliness to Reclaiming Joy is available now for $9, with a limited-time free access offer using coupon code JOY valid through February 28, 2026. The eBook can be accessed here. This release marks the beginning of a larger body of work from Riddle, who plans to share additional guides, personal reflections, and eventually a full-length book centered around reclaiming self-worth, rebuilding connection, and reawakening joy.
