I hope
you and yours have been well. It's been nearly 4 months since I took a leave of
absence from writing here on my weekly eMBC Blog due to some very personal
reasons including an unexpected death in the family. I realize that we are in
an increased time of change... You too may be feeling a lot of movement or
experiencing a lot of movement in your relationships, careers and life. As is
the nature of change, it brings in exactly the energies necessary for us to
move toward the Golden Age of empowerment, but it will require you to LET GO of
all things not serving you... your misaligned patterns, behaviors, beliefs,
relationships and habits. Don't fight it... instead, surrender so you may move
with the waters of change. I promise they will take you exactly where you need
to go.
While
I was away, I did a lot of introspection on my purpose of doing this, writing
blog articles, talking on the internet radio shows; hoping that this will
somehow make a difference in the lives of other people either reading or
listening in or am I crazy?
When
helping others is your life purpose
I BELIEVE
THAT EACH PERSON has
a personal mission in life—something that you agreed to learn during this
lifetime. It could be patience, forgiveness, compassion, balance, self-care,
integrity, and so forth. Everyone is working on a soul-growth lesson.
In addition to
their personal missions, some individuals agreed to take on “global missions,”
which involve helping people, animals, the environment, or a cause other than
themselves. Not everyone has a global mission. Some people on Earth are only
living for their own personal growth.
Those who have
global missions are known as lightworkers. This is a name I am using that
encompasses similar terms such as Indigo, Crystal, and Earth Angel. You
know you are a lightworker if you feel compelled to help others, and deeply
care about the world. You attract people who need help, and you are sensitive
to the needs of those around you. In fact, you sometimes feel that you are a
bit too sensitive, as you absorb energies from others’ moods.
As a lightworker,
you have always felt a sense of purpose, as if there is something important
that you are destined to do in this lifetime. You may not know what this
destiny entails, but you can feel it. All lightworkers do.
There is even a
sense of time urgency associated with this, like an alarm clock ringing in the
pit of your gut, urging you to go,
go, go and
make a positive difference in the world. These feelings are universal among
lightworkers.
The great news is
that, as a lightworker, you have been making a positive difference your entire
life. You radiate healing energy that soothes others and brings peace wherever
you go. That’s because your main global purpose is to love, which is something
you do naturally. You care about people; and you wish that everyone could be
happy, healthy, and well provided for. You are a giver.
So, the form that
your mission takes is secondary as long as you extend Divine love. In other
words, when you think about a career as a spiritual healer or teacher, the type
of work you do isn’t important. Whether you teach or practice Reiki, Angel
Therapy, medium-ship, or some other modality... if it’s done from a place of
loving service, everything else is details.
With that in mind,
there is a practical consideration when deciding on or forming a long-term
relationship with your chosen field. Please make sure it is an area that truly
excites and interests you. It is not smart to select one just because you have
seen another person gain material success by that avenue.
Whatever type field
you choose, please be certain that you love it. I have watched people create
career goals with their heads, using business plans and projections, only to
meet with one obstacle after another because their hearts weren’t in the work.
And while planning and projecting can be helpful and prudent starting points
for new business ventures, make sure that you are leading with your heart.
In spiritually based
careers, your feelings and intuition are your road map. Your head is second in
charge, as the employee of your heart.
So what topic—even if it seems illogical—really excites you? Let’s ask your higher self:
Take a moment to
relax in a quiet place, either lying down or sitting. Close your eyes if
possible, and give yourself full permission to dream about your ideal career.
Then notice what images, thoughts, and feelings come to you:
§
Are you
working alone, with a co-worker, or with several co-workers?
§
Do you operate
from home, out of a healing center, or where?
§
What type of
clients or students are you involved with?
§
How do you
feel about this work?
As you allow
yourself to imagine your ideal career, notice how warm and fulfilled you feel.
These feelings are the ultimate paycheck, the greatest reward. And as you feel
satisfied, your material benefits are drawn to you by the universal Divine
Energy.
Your dream of
having a full-time career as a ______ (fill in the blank) is much more than a
dream. It’s a sign. If you continually imagine yourself having a meaningful
career that supports you and your family financially, emotionally, and
spiritually, then this is a sign that your life purpose involves this type of
work.
Lightworkers are,
by definition, sensitive. They are receptive to the energies in any room they
walk into. They are attuned to other people’s moods and feelings and to
environmental factors such as chemicals, pollution, or noise. They are
conscious of the presence of angels.
And they are also
sensitive to other people’s opinions. This sensitivity is both a gift and a
lifesaving instinct. You see, your overall personality remains fairly constant
throughout lifetimes. Once a lightworker, always a lightworker. Remember: Doesn't
matter what field you have chosen... You already are a spiritual teacher and
healer. You were born one, and you have been practicing your art for lifetimes.
