Yep, we’re going there. And we’re going to also take a look at being spiritual.
Lightworkers, energy workers, energy healers, Starseeds, or whatever label you resonate with, has emotions too. And if you read my last article, you have an idea about how I get when I’m annoyed. But I digress.
I’m going to use “Lightworkers” in this article as a catchall for all the above mentioned labels.
If you think Lightworkers don’t get annoyed, angry, feel down, etc. you are sadly mistaken.
Remember we have talked many times over the years about how we already know perfection from our time outside of the physical realm; and how we became physical, not to be perfect, but to be messy. Hm.
Lightworkers know pain and/or suffering from one or more experiences in their life; and, it is not a contest as to whose experiences are more or bigger.
Lightworkers are working on the layers within themselves while helping others with their layers.
But when Lightworkers don’t set boundaries for their own self-care, they can overtax themselves. Not having and maintaining boundaries can lead to exhaustion, anger and resentment.
So here are some secrets (not really secrets) about Lightworkers. These are not excuses; rather, it’s a sharing of what perhaps others don’t see. This doesn’t mean it applies to every single being, mind you. We are unique in our experiences.
- Lightworkers, whether they share or not, have dealt with some heavy personal stuff in their lives and had/have to work on healing and releasing their own stuff.
- Lightworkers deserve compensation (equal exchange) for their skill set just like anyone else.
Most people don’t get cranky about compensating someone else for their skill set, so why should Lightworkers be viewed differently? Lightworkers may have been born with (or whenever they came into) their abilities, but they also have/had to learn how to work with them and/or refine them.
You don’t begrudge paying someone else for a skill you don’t have but need; same thing.
- Lightworkers, especially if they’ve no boundaries, can get angry and resentful.
I’m not talking about how I was – with attitude – annoyed with the new Teams (see article here). I’m taking about being wiped-out because a Lightworker without boundaries can get exhausted; drained by giving and giving and not allowing time to rejuvenate. This can ultimately lead to anger, resentment and burn out.
- Lightworkers have emotions and moods like everyone else. Lightworkers are experiencing life just like everyone else.
- Despite what many may think, Lightworker’s lives aren’t all rainbows and unicorns. Remember, they are here to experience as well. And, as they learn they often share or incorporate their experience into their practice.
- Just because someone has accepted the Lightworker label and are having a human experience doesn’t mean that they are more than or less than anyone else.
- Oftentimes Lightworkers really do understand your pain. They feel yours (empathy) and/or have experienced something similar themselves.
Why Am I Writing About This?
- I do pay attention. These two topics were searched for on my blog. That tells me that if more people are searching for or asking me about something, then it’s time to put it into writing.
- Some Lightworkers have expressed to me over the years the guilt they have because they sometimes have emotions that are outside of what they perceive as the “Love and Light” energy. Pfft. Of course we all do…we’re in a human body.
- Because of what I’ve seen and experienced myself – the stigma or erroneous beliefs others who worked hard to bestow on to Lightworkers; and what the Lightworkers may struggle with about accepting and being accepted because of what or who they are.
So yes, you can be a Lightworker, get angry and still be spiritual. What’s important (again my view) is:
- what you do with or about the anger.
- getting out of the victim-mode energy (if applicable).
- what positive – aka, silver lining – can you garner from the experience?
Spiritual Aspect
Lightworker or not, we are ALL spiritual beings having a physical experience. So let’s take a look at being spiritual. I’m sharing my views and/or understandings.
First, what being spiritual does not mean.
- It doesn’t mean being pious.
- It doesn’t mean they don’t get frustrated, lonely, sad, angry, annoyed, etc.
- It doesn’t mean they have to let others use and abuse them.
- It doesn’t mean they are at other’s beck and call.
- It doesn’t mean they have to be religious; it also doesn’t mean they can’t be religious.
- And it certainly doesn’t mean they are mandated to fit whatever mold someone has created in their mind for others to fit in.
So what does being spiritual mean – at least to me/from my view?
- Learning to surpass or release the physical programs.
- Feeling, standing and/or speaking your truth; and perhaps releasing the truths you were gifted and accepted from others as you were growing up, that no longer fit you.
- Remembering or re-discovering who you REALLY are; your truths, understandings and beliefs that are genuinely yours.
- Being aware enough that those truths, beliefs and understandings may change and grow as you change and grow.
- Remembering that not only is each individual on a journey to reach their highest (and holiest) potential while having a physical experience, but to also understand that each individual is taking their own time and their own path to get there – and that it’s okay.
- And ultimately to remember that we are all ONE; that each being is a different expression of you; the ONE.
