What is a Light Worker?

You’re meant to shine as bright as you can and not ever let anyone stop your inner light and greatness.

What Is A Lightworker?

Have you ever wondered if you’re a lightworker and what a lightworker is?

This is a fine definition, but my humor aligns more with these two:

Bottom line —

There are no limits to your light — the world needs you wherever you are.

As part of our recovery process from the TMB, we journeyed to the French Riviera to participate in my co-worker, Scott Moore’s, yoga retreat in Nice, France.

When I think of what a Lightworker is, I often find myself thinking of the yoga instructors in my life. I’ve had them there for so long, that I simply cannot imagine my life without them. 

My yoga world extends beyond my own teaching of yoga and more so into my own personal practice of yoga.

Yoga helped me through challenging changes of my body while pregnant, through deliveries, and postpartum. 

Five years later, yoga guided me through diagnosis, treatment and recovery of a difficult stage of breast cancer.

Yoga supported me through important career decision changes and opened my eyes to opportunities I couldn’t otherwise imagine.

And now yoga is assisting me once again through yet another milestone - transition between career and lightworker work.

So ….

What does this really mean?

When I google this question, the definition I receive is this:

“A Lightworker is someone who makes a conscious decision to endeavor to answer the call of Source over the call of the fear. Lightworkers are in tune with the callings of their soul and act on its whispers regardless of fear. They commit to living a courageous life.”

That’s a mouthful. 

A lightworker may include one or all of these things:

  • You’re a powerful manifestor

  • You’re an empath

  • Deep calling to help others

  • Belief in a higher power

  • You’ve had a challenging childhood

  • A deep spiritual shift

  • You know how to move through the darkness

Consider your own lightworker path.

Where might you bring these gifts to your people? 

Remember being a lightworker is a conscious choice. Shining your light into the darkness helps to locate and complete difficult trails, finish impossible tasks and heal over lifetimes. A daily practice of yoga reminds us of this. 

Each fear-based thought, feeling, or action you choose to transform into light serves not only you, but everyone. As you gradually learn to anchor more light in all of your bodies (mental, physical, emotional, spiritual), the more you help others to do the same.

Yoga, used in our everyday life, helps us stay connected to our light. This is our big human journey – The lightworker’s climb that connects the heart to the world
