MY VOCAB PRACTICE

Meditation is best practiced solo and in a solitary location with my favourite solo artist playing softly in the background. My mind slowly becomes a desolate place, where I feel great solitude from the crazy world around me. Once my mind is completely clear, I am able to isolate my thoughts and concentrate on my soliloquy.
__

I think ISOLATE should have been on the list too, so I included it in my Vocabulary Practice.
