In a world that never stops, have you ever felt the quiet call to be alone? I’m Barbara, a trance medium with over 30 years of experience, and my spirit guide Ben has shown me that solitude isn’t loneliness—it’s a sacred space where your soul speaks. Whether you’re in the US, Europe, or anywhere else, this page explores the hidden strength of being alone—and how a phone reading can amplify its gifts.

10 Spiritual Gifts of Being Alone

Ben and I have seen these blessings bloom in solitude—do you recognize them?

1. Clarity of Thought: Without chatter, your mind sharpens—Ben says it’s your soul sorting itself.

2. Heightened Intuition: Alone, your right brain hums—gut feelings turn loud and clear.

3. Spirit Visits: Quiet moments invite loved ones—Ben often comes when I’m still.

4. Emotional Reset: Solitude washes away overwhelm—your heart finds peace, he notes.

5. Creative Sparks: Ideas flow free—alone time births art, dreams, and purpose.

6. Self-Discovery: You face your shadows and light—Ben calls it soul archaeology.

7. Energy Recharge: Crowds drain; solitude fills—your spirit needs this pause.

8. Deeper Dreams: Alone before sleep, theta waves rise—Ben says dreams turn vivid.

9. Inner Strength: Facing silence builds courage—your soul stands taller.

10. Divine Connection: Alone, you hear the universe—you feel the connection clearer without distraction.

Felt these? Solitude’s your secret power.

The Science and Spirit of Alone Time

Your brain shifts when you’re alone—Ben loves this dance. Beta waves (busy, logical) drop; alpha and theta (calm, intuitive) rise—right brain territory. Studies show solitude boosts creativity and lowers stress—science meets spirit here. Ben stands on my right, speaking through theta, proving alone time tunes you to the other side. In a noisy world, it’s your spiritual reset.

How Being Alone Enhances Mediumship

As a medium, I’ve learned solitude is my fuel—Ben agrees. Trance needs silence—my right brain opens wide when I’m alone, letting him through. Clients feel it too: alone time before a reading sharpens their spirit link. Whether it’s a full moon or a quiet afternoon, solitude primes you to hear what’s beyond—your loved ones, your guides, your truth.

A Solitude Ritual to Strengthen Your Power

Ben’s crafted this ritual to embrace being alone—try it, no company needed:

1. Find Your Space: Pick a quiet spot—your room, a park, anywhere calm.

2. Light a Candle: A soft flame calls focus—Ben says it’s a beacon for spirit.

3. Hold a Token: A stone or crystal—something grounding, tying you to you.

4. Breathe Slow: Five deep breaths—let your left brain hush, right brain wake.

5. Ask For Messages—listen to what rises.

6. Sit in Silence: 10 minutes, no phone—feel your soul expand, Ben urges.

7. Write It Down: Jot what comes—thoughts, feelings, or a whisper from spirit. 

How to Embrace Being Alone in a Busy World

Ben’s shared these tips to weave solitude into life—small steps, big shifts:

- Carve Out Moments: 10 minutes daily—coffee alone, a walk—Ben says it builds.

- Turn Off Noise: No screens, no calls—silence lets spirit in, he nods.

- Feel, Don’t Fear: Loneliness might creep—breathe through; it’s your soul stretching.

- Use Nature: Sit by a tree or water—Ben says it amplifies solitude’s magic.

- Book a Reading: In a phone session, I channel Ben to explore what solitude reveals for you—clients say it’s a game-changer.
