The term lightworker was first coined by author and teacher Michael Mirdad in the early 80s. Later, in 1997, Doreen Virtue released the book The Lightworkers Way.

The simplest way to describe lightworkers would be as beings who feel an enormous pull towards helping others. Also referred to as crystal babies, indigos, Earth angels and star seeds, these spiritual beings volunteer to act as a beacon for the Earth and commit to serving humanity.
 

A lightworker is anyone who devotes their life to being a bright light in the world. A lightworker is a person who has chosen to come to Earth (you may want to research "soul contracts") especially at these times, to help transmute the darkness into the light, to serve humanity, and help to anchor the Divine. They tend to be sensitive and are often the default advice-giver in their group of friends and may be known for their healing skills.  They choose to change the world by raising the vibration of the self and others. There are many paths to higher vibration and all of them are viable: it is not the details of how you get there, but the outcome that is of greatest importance.

​

Not all lightworkers realize the nature of their spiritual calling right away, but their "mission" is to spread light by the various gifts and talents that come naturally to them. Lightworkers  feel an enormous pull towards helping others. Each fear-based thought, feeling, or action one chooses to transform into light serves not only to themselves, but everyone. As a lightworker learns to anchor more light in all layers of the body (mental, physical, emotional, spiritual), the more they help others to do the same.

​

Lightworkers help others to awaken. They do so by healing others through their voice, words, or hands.

​

Many lightworkers are (but are not limited to) called to be: Activists, Actors, Artists, Charity workers, Chefs, Dancers, Emergency Service workers, Holistic Practitioners or Doctors, Massage therapists, Midwives, Musicians, Nurses, Reiki practitioners, Teachers, Veterinarians, Writers, Yoga instructors, and more…

​

Some lightworkers don’t have any particular or "fancy job title." They just need to be here in the physical world anchoring "light" or a higher vibration that helps with transmuting lower-vibrational energies. 
 

Lightworkers are strategically placed throughout the physical world. 

​
