AM I LIGHTWORKER, WHAT IT TAKES?

1. Lightworkers Are Healers

✨✨✨

Even if you're not of the Healer subtype of lightworkers, generally facilitating healing is a strong sign that you are a lightworker of some sort. This will often manifest in how well you relate to other people and how they respond to your empathy.

However, being adept at healing your own wounds is also an indication that you have lightworker capacities. Knowing what resources are needed at times when someone is hurt and with a track record of growing out of pain, you may have a global mission that involves healing more broadly.

The healing associated with lightwork is often linked to physical touch. In this way, you may notice that your loved ones seem to find peace and acceptance when you hug them or hold their hands.

2. They Trust in Spiritual Practices

✨✨✨

For the average lightworker, ascension to a higher plane is of great significance. And, having a strong sense of faith in spiritual practices is a sign of being skilled at lightwork.

This doesn't necessarily mean that all lightworkers are religious! Although some do commit to specific religions, it's much more common to follow a more individualized approach to spirituality. So, if you find that you often pick and choose different aspects of spiritual and religious traditions, adapting them for your own purposes, you might have the type of innate spirituality that is associated with being a lightworker.

In practice, this spirituality often manifests in a general faith in the universe, and in a deep, satisfying sense of your place in the wider world.

3. Lightworkers manifest naturally

✨✨✨

Another significant entry on the list of signs of being a lightworker relates to an unusual level of competence with the Law Attraction. For most people, learning to manifest takes time, effort and energy. Often, great results appear only after a period of sustained growth.

However, if you're a lightworker, you may find that you just naturally pick up techniques like creative visualization and positive thinking; quickly manifesting the things that you want to appear in your life.

While Law of Attraction experts note that anyone can achieve this level of competence in time, this type of early development is a crucial sign that you may be some type of lightworker. You can use this gift to manifest incredible change for others as well as yourself.

4. You Always Seek the Truth and Deeper Meaning

✨✨✨

Lightworkers don't tend to feel satisfied with superficial or basic explanations. Instead, they're always looking a step further than the average individual, asking “Why?” and giving a great deal of thought to the underlying meaning in all experiences (also known as light seekers). You may notice this particular trait sets you apart from others in conversations. It may give you a greater degree of patience and focus than the people around you typically exhibit.

Alongside this natural curiosity is a commitment to finding and understanding the truth, even if it's confronting. Lightworkers tend to be honest with themselves and others and can detect self-deception very quickly. This puts you in an excellent person to know yourself, identify your needs and pursue your life purpose, and contributes to your ability to manifest through the Law of Attraction.

5. Sensitivity

✨✨✨

As briefly mentioned at the outset, one of the characteristics of lightworkers is sensitivity to the world around them. You will be able to tell if there is dissonance between what someone says and how someone feels. Similarly, you can quickly pick up on what people want from you.

As a result, people probably gravitate towards you and find you to be a tremendously valuable resource in their lives. Thought of as a natural counsellor, an authority on human nature, and a font of wisdom when it comes to difficult questions.

However, you may also sometimes feel used or drained at times; lightworkers don't always assert their own emotional needs when there's a chance to put others first.

6. You Feel Close to Nature

✨✨✨

Most lightworkers feel at peace and recharged when they're in nature. Therefore, if you gravitate to the countryside or the sea then this is an indication that you have an inclination toward some type of light work

As well as being energized by nature, it's common for lightworkers to notice that nature responds to them. For example, wild animals may approach you, and you may be particularly good at growing things.

Again, this type of talent owes to the fact that you're deeply in tune with the world around you; vibrating on a frequency that connects with your world. This aspect of you will also mean that you are deeply hurt by damage or ignorance people display about nature. Plus, you may feel an inclination to campaign for the environment.

7. You May Be an Outcast or Loner

✨✨✨

There are many undeniable benefits associated with being a lightworker.

One of the most difficult aspects of this identity is that lightworkers often feel like outcasts.

You may have grown up feeling “different” and may have struggled to be understood.

Often, this is because your deep understanding of the universe means that people inevitably know and understand less than you do, and so may not relate to you very well.

8. You Feel You’re Alive for A Higher Purpose

✨✨✨

It's common for lightworkers to have a strong sense of purpose at a very young age.

While it might take you some time to figure out exactly what you are meant to do with your life, it's likely that you'll always be attracted to helping others and be willing to devote a significant amount of energy to doing so.

A lightworker's true purpose involves what you might call heightening the “collective consciousness” of the world, and so you'll feel at your most confident, energized, and alive when you're facilitating the growth of other people around you.

For example, you may prioritize volunteer work, be the main source of support within your group of best friends, and spread important ethical messages through campaigning.

9. You Have a Strong Intuition

✨✨✨

We are all intuitive, and we can become more so through practice. However, if you are a lightworker, your intuitions will be strong and consistent. Once again, it's probable you'll have noticed this from a very young age, when adults in your life may have noted you were unusually wise and perceptive. In some cases, it may almost seem like you can predict the future.

Your intuition will manifest itself in many different ways, but you'll be especially good at reading other people and understanding their needs. You'll also naturally know when someone fits with you (romantically or platonically), and you'll be especially adept at picking up patterns and signs that point you toward a particular future path.

10. You’ve Had a Traumatic Past

✨✨✨

While being a lightworker comes with many beautiful gifts, many lightworkers have to suffer to obtain those gifts.

If you think back to your earliest memories, you may notice that you've faced many different forms of trauma and upset and that peace was rare. It's vital to realize that these difficulties have helped to recognize your ability to have self-healing superpowers.

The challenges you've faced also give you an unmatched capacity for empathy. You can easily put yourself in the shoes of anyone who is in pain, and you can help to lead them out of that dark place and toward a happier, healthier life.

11. You’re Constantly Striving to Improve Your Life

✨✨✨

The life of a lightworker is one filled with constant striving. No matter what you've achieved, you'll always see the potential for further development. You have a core need to identify and solve problems, and (as noted above) to heal pain.

This is what constantly pushes you to better yourself, and to help others see how they can grow too. You have a vision in your mind, and every day you try to bring the world closer to that vision.

There is always a risk that the lightworker's desire for improvement tips over into perfectionism and a need for excessive control.

Thankfully, however, the self-awareness that comes with being a lightworker means you're likely to quickly become aware of when you're being too harsh on yourself.

12. You Have an Old Soul

✨✨✨

When lightworkers are children, adults often remark that they appear to have an “old soul” or that they seem to have lived many lives before this one. There's a maturity in lightworkers that means they radiate calmness and self-awareness, as well as deep confidence in their own experiences.

Early in life, this can make it difficult to make friends, as few people are on your level. But as you get older, you'll begin to find your people, and you'll be all the more grateful for those connections.

Lightworkers are known to be often drawn together, with limitless power of wisdom. One lightworker can facilitate change in others, but a group can easily transform the world.

13. Your Life Goal Is Self-Growth

✨✨✨

No matter what kind of life you pursue, as a lightworker you'll always feel the pull to develop in every way you can. You want to understand your reactions and your desires, even when it's uncomfortable.

For example, you might keep a gratitude journal that you use on a daily basis for self-reflection, or you may regularly attend therapy. Whatever techniques you use, the goal is to really get to know yourself in an intimate, honest way.

By modelling this fearless introspection, you also encourage others to increase their self-knowledge.

Consequently, lightworkers often spread self-awareness and maturity throughout a community, leading by example. You may even choose to do something like this as a career, becoming a teacher, a life coach or a counsellor.

14. You’re Extremely Spiritual

✨✨✨

Finally, lightworkers are seldom religious but invariably have deep spiritual beliefs.

What this means is that you are aware of the interconnectedness of humanity and nature, and of the flow of energy in the universe. For example, you are likely to be gifted at understanding and using the Law of Attraction to manifest what you want in life, and you'll have a natural talent for interpreting dream signs and meanings.

Although this type of spirituality lacks a commitment to ant particular god, it's nevertheless an important source of comfort for the lightworker and a significant part of their everyday life. You will likely express your spirituality in many ways, ranging from meditation to reading spiritual texts (especially works in eastern philosophy).
