10 Signs You’re a Lightworker
Lightworkers are the positive change-makers in society that dedicate their life to being of service to humanity through their presence and gifts.
They don’t have a specific role. They can be:
teachers
managers
coaches
nurses
lawyers
researchers
engineers
astrologers
therapists
cleaners
architects
bakers
And the list goes on!
How would you recognise a Lightworker?
Easy — their energy speaks volumes!
Even if they don’t have a lot in their bank account or deal with unexpected setbacks, they have a sense of calmness and a positive attitude towards life that uplifts others, too.
Lightworkers have a way of containing their inner emotional state, so that they don’t burden you with their problems, pain and struggles. They have mastered self-regulation after years of coping on their own, which is what has allowed them to activate and embrace their role as an alchemist.
What’s more, Lightworkers often have the ability to alchemise the energy of any environment they enter, thus making it more relaxed, upbeat and united after arriving with their presence, wisdom, gifts and ideas.
And this is just the beginning when it comes to describing the aura and essence of Lightworkers that are positioned all around the world.
Are you a Lightworker? Here are 10 signs that you might be!
1. You have a strong sense of justice
As long as you can remember, you’ve always cared about equality.
Even as a child, it was important to you that no one was excluded or given a different treatment, especially due to their innate differences.
Today this manifests as a deep sense of responsibility when it comes to showing up for others, joining campaigns or organising your own projects that raise awareness and support global causes.
What’s more, you aren’t easily fooled by narcissists and manipulative people, and do not entertain their mind games or false presentation, thus, helping others see the truth about their illusions and ill intentions.
As a truth teller, you’re not always welcome, specifically in environments where people avoid accountability and prefer to turn a blind eye to the wrongdoings, but you’ve accepted who you are and always find a way to navigate around people whose Spirit does not align with yours.
2. You have a deep longing for home
Lightworkers often feel like today’s world is not designed for them. They long for a place that they cannot exactly define, yet a place that they remember deep in their Soul — a place that actually offered love and care for who they are at the level of their innermost being.
As a Lightworker, you may feel alienated from your own family, and turn to strangers for understanding and compassion.
Since your problems may differ from the problems of those around you, this can create a lot of division between you and your peers.
Part of your journey requires solitude in order for you to reclaim all the aspects of yourself that are dormant, have been lost or fragmented in the process of your Soul’s existence in the cosmos.
The place you are seeking to return to doesn’t exist on Earth. It’s a feeling you get when you are in the presence of specific Souls that resonate with yours!
Some call it love, others refer to it as peace, and you may even find texts that define it as “bliss”. This is the state of being that allows you to just be without judgement, fear, pretending or needing to be elsewhere.
For all Lightworkers, it’s important to keep looking for the people who bring you back “home” with their presence, heart and energy.
If the people around you bring you chaos, drama or added suffering, they are not your people — at least not on a Soul level. Think of them as teachers on your life’s journey. Be grateful for your teachers, but don’t stop looking for your soul tribe!
3. You have an increased understanding of others
After many years of living without being able to fit in or find like-minded people, Lightworkers not only learn how to read people, but they develop their pattern recognition skills to another level.
Ask any outsider and they will tell you that it’s easy to read people, because they’ve spent their whole life trying to decode and translate situations as if their life depended on it (and in many cases it did, at least at the level of their nervous system).
Lightworkers are often viewed or considered as outsiders, even when they are integrated in society. Their detachment and disconnect from everyday norms, roles and problems means that there’s just something “different” about them that sets them apart in the eyes of others!
Your understanding of others is a gift. Use it to support people wherever you go without seeking anything return. Think of it as your service to humanity while you keep building your relationship to the Divine and your own Higher Self, which will act as your greatest support system throughout your existence on Earth.
4. You want to make Earth a better place
When people ask you what you want to do or who you want to become, your default answer is that you want to make Earth a better place.
This is not an answer driven by your Ego, or by false and naive hopes, but rather from a deep knowing that things can get better and that you have the power to make that happen!
Lightworkers often receive intuitive guidance that arms them with a sense of confidence that isn’t rooted in their work on Earth, but rather in their awareness and knowledge about what is possible. This makes them great problem-solvers who aren’t defined by the limits of today’s society.
5. You care about the environment
Since you were a child, you’ve had a strong connection to nature, animals, birds and all living beings.
As highly intuitive people, Lightworkers can sense when someone is struggling and offer support in any capacity they can — energetically, emotionally, mentally or physically.
When Mother Nature is suffering, most people don’t seem to care, so long as they can carry on living as normal. But Lightworkers can actually feel the pain of our planet!
From forest fires through the accelerated animal depopulation to the air pollution that is affecting every part of the world, Lightworkers know that they have a role to play in saving the planet.
Whether they launch their own platform to raise awareness around global environmental issues, or start a community to do volunteering and charity work, Lightworkers are often very protective of nature and passionate about sustainability.
6. You love to read and learn more about history
If we don’t learn from the mistakes of our ancestors, sooner or later we are doomed to repeat them. You understand this better than anyone, especially if your own family has suffered from addictions, coping mechanisms and vices that could have been prevented by increased self-awareness.
Your fascination with history is not limited to changing the world, or rather, it’s not focused entirely on it.
Everything you learn about the world is an opportunity to apply it directly in your life, so that you can evolve through the accumulated knowledge.
Reading and learning about Earth is an exercise in self-betterment, since you’re clear about a universal law that many ignore:
In order to change the world, you must first change yourself. Better yet, make it a habit to keep changing yourself for the better!
Due to your fascination with history, you’re also quite vocal with your opinions and care about increasing the pop culture literacy of the people in your life, so that you can continue your evolution side by side.
As a Lightworker, you’re only responsible for your own growth: don’t try to change someone else or force them to choose a better path for themselves, or you risk getting off track your own evolutionary trajectory.
7. You have a way of always saying the right things
Many Lightworkers are gifted channelers without realising that they have the gift of receiving ideas directly from the Divine, God, the Spirit realm and their own Higher Self.
If you’re someone who always know how to say the right thing, especially in a tough situation, it’s because you’re quite literally receiving wisdom from Source — the Divine library of all knowledge in the Universe.
As a channeler, you can make a fantastic coach, therapist, author, teacher and leader on Earth.
It’s important to remember that your gifts are not exclusively available within a professional context. Use what’s at your disposal to also be:
a loving friend
a caring family member
a thoughtful neighbour
a curious pet owner
a kind stranger
While your intuitive gifts may strengthen during your awakening and ascension periods to better prepare you for your service to humanity (your soul purpose), it’s likely that you’ve had access to your gifts since childhood and it is only now that you have the words and awareness to embrace them, understand t hem and use them to do good in society.
8. You make sure that everyone’s voice is heard
Equality is not something that you care about, it’s part of your internal moral compass. It’s your default state of being!
When you witness a situation that showcases division, exclusion or injustice, it awakens something dormant and primitive in you that you didn’t know was there all along!
Lightworkers are often fantastic advocates on behalf of human rights, because they fundamentally believe in equality.
While the rest of the world projects hatred towards different races, nations, religions or lifestyle choices, you see people for their essence — they are a human being, just like you and me.
The “dark” side of this is that you are wired to spot the narcissists in society, and be more strict with manipulative or abusive people, especially when you witness that there’s no growth or accountability on their end.
While this isn’t necessarily a bad thing, because someone needs to have the courage to say what others fear speaking about, it can make your heart harden a bit as a direct result of dealing with immature, insecure and toxic people for a long period of time.
As a Lightworker, you have the power to help others heal and uplift their Spirit at all times. Focus on using your intuitive abilities to support others in reconnecting with their emotions, so that you don’t lose yourself in the process of exposing the truth — always lead with your heart.
9. You are drawn to other cultures and traveling
Every place on Earth has its own energetic frequency and “hidden codes” that help us activate different aspects of our consciousness (therefore, our self-expression, too).
Many Lightworkers struggle to settle down in a particular city or country in the first decades of their life, because they are instead drawn to foreign cultures and connecting with faraway nations.
You may also discover that your family moving a lot when you were a child happened to introduce you and prepare you for a lifestyle of traveling, so that they can give you a sense of adaptability from a young age.
No, they didn’t do this consciously, because they knew your purpose on Earth. But at a spiritual level, your birth activated a set of processes that had to happen in order to prepare you for your life path!
When we speak about God’s plan, this is what we’re talking about. As much as we have free will, we are also guided by an invisible hand, or force, at all times in order to make sure that we fulfill what we came on Earth to learn, process and execute successfully.
Your love for traveling might not be influenced by social media, but rather by something much greater and more powerful than you can imagine!
Plus, every time that we travel and connect with people who are different than us, in the context of cultural or racial differences, we enrich our own understanding of what it means to be human today, and this is a valuable contribution that we provide back to Source as we collectively enrich the Divine library of the Universe through our human lives.
10. You can feel the energy of everyone
Have you ever walked into a room and felt an immediate energetic shift?
Sometimes it happens because the room is filled with “stuck” energy and you’re able to pick up on it as an “outsider”. This can often happen in a workplace that lacks work-life balance where employees are overworked and on the verge of total burnout.
Other times the energy shift occurs because of you! Your presence alerts others of your Spirit and what you feel as an “energetic shift” is actually the active perception of others who are observing you.
As a Lightworker, you have a unique auric field. It’s simultaneously open and closed, which means that you can approach anyone and talk to them, offer guidance and support, but those who have ill intentions cannot really penetrate your field and access your abundance easily, which is a natural protection that you have as part of your calling on Earth.
Being able to feel the energy of everyone can be overwhelming, so give yourself permission to take more breaks in isolation from others. I’d like to think of them as sacred pauses that allow us to reconnect with the Divine!
Bonus: You remember or know things others don’t
One of the clair-gifts is called claircognizance, which is the gift of inner knowing. (8+ Psychic Abilities & Spiritual Gifts AND How to Use Them)
You may receive guidance and awareness during your sleep through the dreams you experience.
You may run into an old friend or a mysterious stranger that says the right thing to trigger a remembrance of knowledge that was dormant in you.
You may simply remember who you are at the level of your Soul and this knowledge has guided you your whole life.
It’s not for you to examine how you know things, but rather to use your intuitive knowledge to make more informed decisions and help raise the awareness of those around you.
Lightworkers are here to shine a Light on themes and topics that others may be too scared to approach to help them continue their evolution and support the evolution of Earth, too. Your intuition is one of the tools that will assist you on your mission, so trust yourself and your path!
