Feeling lonely as an Entrepreneur? Your feelings are Real.
Most of us entrepreneurs, especially internet marketing entrepreneurs, are alone working a lot. Feelings of loneliness and isolation are common and natural, according to Business News Daily.
In this article, I’m going to give you an emotional process and a Shamanic visualization to help you feel better and more connected. Use these tools to feel more fulfilled in your deeper self to make it easier to sustain positive emotions and high vibes while you spend a lot of time alone.
“How can you feel lonely when you have Social Media??” “Go out and socialize!” “Find your people in Facebook groups (preferably my paid membership group).” This is what all the rah-rah business coaches out there would say.
Online groups and programs do help, however, this is not a complete solution, especially if you’re a person who wants to stay positive and maintain high vibes to attract and grow your ideal business. You probably have some deeper needs going unmet.
I love Authentic Connection
I’m an intimacy/closeness oriented person, so an authentic connection is a huge value for me. However, I’ve learned 
a lot about being alone and loneliness over my life. As an online entrepreneur spending a huge amount of time alone, sometimes in new countries away from friends and family, I had to learn how to feel good being alone a lot.
I learned how to tap into internal and spiritual resources I didn’t use to have. Now I usually feel light-hearted, supported and connected.
I started by sorting through all my different feelings and needs
When we’re stuck, we often label and judge ourselves, ie, “I am lonely and miserable!” Lumping together a bunch of heavy feelings behind that judgment, we forget that smaller problems are easier to solve. When you can break down and identify each of your different needs and emotions, you’ll find a lot of them can be solved with simple strategies and solutions that you’re already aware of.
After I figured out how to meet many of my needs point by point, I still had an empty feeling inside that was draining me. This is where I got out my spiritual solutions. I know from experience that whenever I connect with universal consciousness (I’ll use the shorthand phrase “the divine”), I can receive energy blessings from that consciousness that are very fulfilling to me and help me overcome deep and profound emotional challenges.
Shamanic Visualization – Let the Light in and Connect to the Universal Web of Life
Give yourself some space for 10-15 minutes. Light a candle, or use your imagination that a candle is present. Close your eyes and take some deep breaths into your belly sending messages of calm and peace to your body.
Imagine the light of the candle creating a circle around you of safety and protection. Now begin to imagine the light of the candle is merging with your heart or heart chakra in the center of your chest.
Now the candlelight is in the center of your chest and the light is radiating around you.
Place the focus of your attention in the center of the light. Imagine that this candle flame in your heart can open a portal between your day-to-day awareness and your spiritual nature, your soul self.
As this portal opens you become aware of a power and potency within you. The candleflame in your heart is now connected with your infinite soul self.
Begin now to move the heavy feelings and emotions you have from being alone, and place them into the candleflame in your infinite heart center. Your emotions may feel thick/dense or may appear as dark shapes or patterns within the light.
Notice the light getting brighter around the dark energies, shapes and symbols of your heavy emotions. Your infinite heart light gets brighter and brighter until all of the shadows are overpowered, and only your bright heart light remains.
Next place your attention on the circle of light around you. Begin to notice a geometric pattern in that circle of light, a pattern that cascades out all around you and further than you can detect. In the intersecting points of the geometric pattern are other light beings such as yourself.
All light beings are always connected together through this fabric of universal consciousness. Notice that when you lean back into the geometric pattern, the other beings respond to you in some way.
If you wish at this point, you can make a statement of intention (aka affirmation or prayer) about what you are achieving as an entrepreneur. Announce it and celebrate it with all the other beings in the universal web. Celebrate your gratitude for your dreams coming true.
Begin returning your focus into your heart light center and return your awareness to the room you’re in, and the lighted candle in front of you.
To complete the meditation and visualization take everything you have learned here and place it into the physical candle flame. You can leave this candle lit to keep you company, or re-light it anytime you need additional support and connection.
I am imagining that after you use this visualization you are starting to feel happier and lighter inside. And, you can go back to work with a renewed sense of purpose, smiling inside.
