Energy healer and author Linda B. Riddle has released a new guide titled 'From Loneliness to Reclaiming Joy' to address what she describes as one of the most pressing emotional and spiritual challenges of modern times. The eBook offers a collection of body-mind-spirit practices designed to help readers restore inner steadiness, reconnect with themselves, and move forward with renewed strength. Riddle positions the guide not as a cure-all but as what she calls 'a missing puzzle piece in the journey toward healing,' drawing on her more than 20 years of experience supporting individuals through emotional healing and energetic alignment.
The release comes amid growing recognition of loneliness as a significant public health concern. A 2023 U.S. Surgeon General's Advisory labeled loneliness and social disconnection a public health epidemic, citing associated 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, beginning with awareness rather than judgment. She emphasizes that loneliness often hides behind busy schedules, high-achieving exteriors, or even smiles, making targeted support essential.
The guide contains several practical components aimed at holistic transformation. 'Grounding the Body' practices help regulate energy flow and restore balance, allowing readers to feel steadier and more present. 'Reawakening Mental Clarity and Presence' techniques address mental overload, while compassionate affirmations support emotional connection and self-acceptance. Additional sections focus on calming the nervous system through body-based practices and establishing a holistic daily rhythm to anchor connection, calm, and joy into everyday life. Riddle describes the guide as being for 'the person who's stuck, exhausted, or feeling invisible,' emphasizing that it's about reclaiming one's spark gradually rather than pretending everything is fine.
Riddle views the guide as a beginning rather than a destination in the healing journey. She positions herself as a facilitator rather than someone who 'does' the healing, supporting individuals as healing unfolds through what she describes as God, divine guidance, and the individual's own energy. Many who begin with the guide proceed to book a one-on-one Flourish Forward Consult, during which Riddle offers customized insight and energy-clearing work. These sessions help identify where disconnection may be stored physically in the body—such as in the heart space, throat, or back—and gently begin the process of healing from within. Riddle notes that 'the body keeps score,' with loneliness often manifesting as tight shoulders, throat constriction, or heaviness in the chest.
The eBook is available for $9, with a limited-time free access coupon code 'JOY' valid through February 28, 2026. Readers can access the eBook directly here, schedule a complimentary Flourish Forward Consult here, or access a holistic self-assessment tool here. This guide represents the beginning of a larger body of work from Riddle, who plans to release additional guides, personal reflections, and eventually a full-length book centered on reclaiming self-worth, rebuilding connection, and reawakening joy. She emphasizes that people are not meant to do life alone emotionally, spiritually, or energetically, and sees her work as an offering to help individuals feel seen, supported, and uplifted as they move forward.
