Taking some of the focus off of unblocking chakras, this week we wanted to talk about the special souls called light workers.  

Lightworkers are healers who seek to spread light in the form of love, freedom, knowledge, understanding and raise the collective vibration of humanity and earth. Anyone who is driven to be a shining light on Earth, to rise above any doubt or fear is a lightworker. They tend to be old souls who seek the greater good of all mankind and are, by definition, sensitive. They're receptive to the energies in any room they walk into and radiate healing energy that soothes others, however subtly. Lightworkers are naturally loving and nurturing and genuinely wish that everyone could be happy, healthy, and well provided for- they are natural givers. Owing to their sincerity and old soul disposition, lightworkers seek a deeper understanding of life by doing what we all do--living it. Of course, they’re prone to the same pitfalls as we all are. However when they become enlightened and self-actualized, they recognize this drive as their true potential in life. 

Often times, lightworkers themselves do not know who they are. They can be found shining their light in their chosen profession. We’ve all met some pretty rad people who put their light into the world, helping one another and the planet for the greater good, whether they themselves realize it or not.

With this deep connection with the universe comes hardships, too. Lightworkers have a stronger sensitivity to energy-- leaving them with strong empathy, allowing them to feel what others feel very deeply. This may cause lightworkers to feel drained if surrounded by negative energy. Time to decompress and recover is essential but sometimes, lightworkers need to make sure to protect their energy so that they can reserve their power. 

Shielding Protection:

As spiritual and vibrational beings, everyone is open to absorbing negativity and lower energies from others. But this is especially true for sensitive and empathic individuals such as lightworkers and empaths who often take on energy from others. Due to this, shielding is a valuable spiritual tool for all lightworkers, empaths and energetically sensitive beings. Your natural instinct may be to turn inward and seek protection from within, leaving your outer energy vulnerable. Shielding basically means visualizing, intending and feeling that you are completely surrounded in an orb, blanket, or cocoon of light from the Divine. To keep your energy moving forward powerfully, a lightworker may consider shielding with light.

This powerful shield of protection acts as a line of defense against any negative energy you may come across, even if you are unaware of its presence.

• I welcome positive and uplifting vibrations into my space
• Surround me in a sphere of white light, and fill it with protection, love, harmony, and healing

So, are you a lightworker?
