Who are Lightworkers?
Lightworkers are intuitive, helpful, and kind individuals who help others in need. Whether they realize it or not, their higher purpose is to be of service to the society.
They are also often old souls who vibrate and work from a place of love and kindness towards mankind.
If you’re a Lightworker, you enjoy serving people and cannot see them in trouble.
You go out of your way to help people and make them feel seen and heard. However, you may also be underestimated in life.
As a Lightworker, you could have a tough time setting boundaries when your cup is empty. But as you evolve, you will understand that nourishing your soul is the key to fulfilling your purpose.
How to Become a Lightworker?
Being a Lightworker isn’t a job, it’s a spiritual personality type.
Any person who is in tune with themselves and helps others, be it a professional life coach or a student is a Lightworker.
Here are five ways to become one:
1. Develop Empathy. People often confuse empathy with sympathy and thus, fail to offer genuine help.
Empathy means putting yourself in the other person’s shoes and understanding their situation without being demeaning.
2. Activate your Heart Chakra. The heart chakra is the fourth chakra of our body. It’s the center of love, empathy, and compassion.
The more activated your heart chakra is, the more love you will feel and foster.
Spending time in nature is a great way to clear your energy to activate this chakra.
This will bring more love and compassion to your energy field and make you a magnet for abundance and love.
3. Join or Build a Service Community. Joining organizations that work for noble causes will allow you to help others and understand the problems faced by the suppressed sections of society.
This way by helping others, you can tap into your lightwork(ing) energy.
4. Be an Active Listener. Listening is an extremely underrated form of helping someone.
People often don’t need advice or logical suggestions, they need a listener who can give them reassurance and empathy.
While communicating, try to follow the well-known rule of active listening, the 80/20 rule.
This rule states that 80% of the time should be spent listening to someone and only 20% of it speaking.
5. Be Yourself Authentically. One of the greatest gifts you can ever give the world is expressing yourself freely.
When you allow yourself to be seen, you shine, and so do the people around you.
A beautiful quote in synergy with this is, “Be so completely yourself that everyone else feels to be themselves too.” (Heiki Koker)
Thus, the more authentically you live, the more lives you inspire.
7 Characteristics of an Authentic Lightworker
Not sure whether you’re a Lightworker or not? Here are 7 Characteristics of an Authentic Lightworker that will give you clarity:
1. You are Compassionate and Empathetic. Being a Lightworker, kindness is an innate trait for you.
You easily put yourself in the other person’s shoes and feel their pain. This makes you a go-to friend for advice and reassurance.
2. You Enjoy Helping Others. Serving others gives you the utmost happiness.
You enjoy watching someone’s face light up through your actions. Thus, you go out of your way to make people feel loved.
The people who know you always admire this selflessness in you.
3. You Feel Like You Have a Higher Purpose. You strongly feel you have a higher calling which is related to helping others.
It’s your firm belief that there’s more to life than earning a living. And you’re determined to build that life.
4. You are Intrigued By Spirituality and Ideas of Oneness. From early on in your life, you were intrigued by ideas of higher consciousness and oneness.
Deep down, you consider all individuals to be one big soul family and take responsibility to uplift others.
These interests may have also caused you to feel alienated from others at some point.
5. You Try To Live a Conscious Lifestyle. You question systems and pre-existing ways of doing things.
Your questions are based more on “why” than “how” i.e., more on reason and curiosity than defined methodologies.
6. You are Connected With Your Intuition. You use your intuition to make decisions.
Sometimes, you might end up at a crossroads where you have to choose between logic and intuition but you always choose the latter.
7. You Feel a Strong Connection Towards Animals and Children. Animals and children are pure beings, connected to nature and the divine.
They radiate higher vibrations and attract people who match their frequency.
Being a Lightworker, you might be attracted to these pure beings, as much as they are drawn to you.
Starseed vs Lightworker
Starseeds are spiritual beings believed to have incarnated from other systems/dimensions of the Universe on our planet.
They are cosmic wanderers who carry wisdom from varied dimensions.
Lightworkers, on the other hand, are individuals dedicated to spreading love and kindness on Earth.
The former spread knowledge of their cosmic experiences, while the latter focus more on individual healing.
Both types of spiritual beings make the world better by being themselves and sharing their wisdom and love.
Lightworker Test
Many true Lightworkers or Starseeds don’t know if they are energy healers.
They continue to do the good work to uplift the collective consciousness, without a selfish goal in mind.
The mentioned characteristics in this blog post will give you an idea if you’re a Lightworker or not.
You may also take online tests available on the Internet that will help you to determine your spiritual personality.
However, you must use your intuition to make decisions and interpret the results.
Note that becoming a healer is a matter of self-discovery and not so much about the label.
Work on yourself to improve your and the collective’s energy and you will become a Lightworker naturally.
Conclusion
In a world that can be chaotic, Lightworkers are beacons of hope and love.
As a Lightworker, you can create a great positive impact on the lives of those around you.
However, spreading light can be draining when your soul is not nourished. Thus, take a step back when needed.
Develop empathy, share your light with the world, and be in alignment with your soul and you’ll be ready to walk the path of an authentic Lightworker.
