Meditate, not just the clearing your mind type but the deep focus on something such a flower. Get out in nature. Indulge the child within you, find complete joy in the simplest things. Skip, jump, roll in the grass.
I've experienced this too.
A Different type of Hunger
Have you ever woke up with a yearning. A hunger except your weren't physically hungry? This morning I woke up feeling as if my Soul was hungry.
It isn't an easy feeling to explain, yet I knew what it was that I was experiencing. All of a sudden music had no voice, no emotion..because it wasn't what I needed. I picked up a book..and the words had no meaning...just black symbols on a page..because it wasn't what I needed. I need food for the soul, food for my soul...so what do you feed your soul?
Everything I'm not makes me Everything I am

hmmm. I get like that the week before my period every month. Can't focus, nothing seems right, everything is just a little off and I'm always 'wanting' something that I can't put my finger on.
I give myself fresh air, a good hard workout and some quiet sitting and meditation. Seems to work for me.
oh, and a latte and a cookie.
thanks chicks....i'm very fond of concentrating on the small wonders of nature, appreciating the sound of the rain meditating music therapy..lots and lots of wonderful peaceful moments...but what if they don't work?

Don't put that out there. LOL
Increasingly I see that "hunger" has more to do with quality than quanitity. We are rushed through life. We eat without savoring and really experiencing. We touch with out really feeling, see with out really registering more of what is there, hear without appreciation.
Taking time to truly experience even a few small things in the day will make a differece.

I kinda know what that's like. For me it's like boredom to the tenth power and the things and people that used to stimulate me just don't anymore.
LOL, last summer you (Ahyrin) told me to meditate and I think I'm just now finally easing myself into it and just now getting into the hang of it...anywho, what usually helps me is assessing my emotions (or trying to) and trying to figure out what it is I need without judging myself. Other times I simply just need to go exploring -- outside of myself -- and try something new.
I have that same hunger. I know just how you feel. I have tried to fill that void with so many things; sex, food, shopping, work, etc.... I feel like I will find the answer on the inside and not with outside material things. Some days I feel that I need someone to hold me and not say anything, just love me so I feel safe. Sometimes I feel so overwhelmed with the past that I cant move forward.
I am doing some "soul cleaning" and "soul searching". Letting go of emotional baggage that is weighing me down so I can make room for new life experiences.
I am writing in a journal and trying to get my feelings out there so I can see them and figure out exactly what is making me feel this way.
I know I have to make some changes in my life and with myself. I am not happy with who I am at all. I dont want to wallow in self pitty or misery, so I am trying to figure out what I dont like about myself and improve or change those things. Hopefully I will develope into a more self confident, happy person.

I run away all the time to avoid coming face to face with myself. I am tired of running.
