Journey of a Lightworker: A collection of personal stories from Lightworkers around the world

Introduction

This book was created for you. You have chosen to read this collection of stories for a reason, and more than likely, you're smiling to yourself right now because you know this is the truth.

You may call yourself a lightworker, or maybe you're not sure if you're one or not. Perhaps you simply want to know more. Regardless of the point you're at on your journey in this lifetime, you're sure to find the stories inside this book to be inspiring, real, and eerily familiar, as you find that these Lightworker's stories are not so unlike your own.

So, what is a Lightworker, you may ask?

There are so many varying definitions of what it means to be a Lightworker, and all of them will resonate with different people. Essentially though, a Lightworker is someone who has incarnated into this lifetime to help bring light into the world; whether it be via spiritual guidance and healing work, expression through the arts (writing, painting, dancing, singing), humanitarian work, working with children, and the list goes on.

Not all Lightworkers will be found engaging in holistic therapies or psychic work. A Lightworker may be a teacher who encourages children to honour their true selves, a volunteer who gives their time to those in need, or a person who rescues and protects animals. As you can see, Lightworkers are found all across the globe, and are all unique in their own way; just as every soul is.

There are some things that unite all Lightworkers however, and that is light and love. Everything we do is done with love and compassion, with the intention of spreading more light into the world.

Being a Lightworker is not without its challenges, but it is an extremely rewarding role to play during such a significant time of change on earth. Join us, as we explore some of the real stories of Lightworkers from around the world.

Message from Archangel Metatron

Channelled through Sharon Miralles

To all those light workers, crystal, indigo, rainbow and star children, sensitive souls and empaths – you are children of pure living light and are sent here to heal the Earth. Some of you are angelic helpers who have come to help us in human form. We are in gratitude to you for your loving wisdom and healing on this planet. Archangel Metatron would like to share a message with you to bring you angelic comfort as you journey upon your Earthly mission.

I am Archangel Metatron, devoted servant and bearer of the light of the Creator. I am here at this time to be of service to you and anchor in the ascension energies of pure light and love to you on this planet. Open your heart and receive them joyously. All you need to do at this time is open your heart to love and acceptance. Accept all Beings of the Creator as one and embrace them with love. See all others as not separate from yourself but in union with yourself. Those who create separateness and duality in this world at this time will not ascend to the next level. As Beings of one light, we must live and act in unison. This is the way forward to the next advancement of human consciousness and evolution.

We light Beings live in a state of love. Humans live in a world of need and choice. When you need, ask of it to Heaven in love. When you choose, always choose from a place of love.

Be of service to the light at all times. Expand your consciousness and Divinity through consciously bringing in the light daily into your Being. As light Beings live in a state of permanent love, no negative forces can interfere and penetrate their energy vibration. Earth life is dense and is full of negative energy. Those light workers, crystal, indigo, rainbow and star children, highly sensitive Beings and empaths may be greatly affected at this time on Earth if you are not living in your full light consciousness. You need to be reminded to rest, repair and shed all densities and transmute all frequencies and vibrations back to a state of light. There is nothing wrong with you. You are doing good work even though you remain challenged. You are not alone. The intense energy calls to you now and offers opportunity for further expansion and growth. You are fully supported as long as you remember to turn inwards, rest and recover; release and heal. Situations, events, past memories, relationship issues and inner struggles may all surface even more at this time in order for you to release them. By releasing heavy, burdensome, dense energy, you will allow more light and expanded consciousness to permeate your Being, spiralling your frequencies higher and clearing and opening your heart centre, awakening your Divine potential for a fully expanded heart centre of Divine love – the opening of ascension energies and the beginning of your Cosmic pathway.

This inner journey may not be easy. Those who have awakened will tell you of their struggles. Overcoming these inner struggles and the glorious awakening of the Divinity inside all and the interconnection of all things is the Cosmic gateway to ascension. For many of you on this journey, each experience will be different. Remember those before you and those of you to come. Bless the past, the present and the future. Through this process, you can expand your DNA and awaken dormant cells by unlocking and freeing yourself from the collective consciousness which has restrained you for so long. Create a new collective consciousness. One of ascension and Beings of light living on Earth in human form while being awakened to the Divine Light in which you are one and will remain always.

To those crystal, rainbow and star children who are fully activated and living in their light, no negative forces on Earth will permeate your energy field as you are protected by your light, your Divinity and by us guardians of the light and love in which we serve. You act as a light bearer, affecting others with a positive charge so great; your work is instrumental on the planet at this time. This is what you have been called here to do. Remain centred and grounded in love and know we are with you. You cannot be distracted from your path and your mission ever. We are with you in love, support, guidance and service at all times. You help your fellow human Beings and Divine souls in immeasurable ways, subtle yet immensely effective.

With love, devotion and in eternal service, Metatron.

With love, light and unity,

Sharon Miralles

These heartbeats are your people.

These people are your tribe.

The Healer and the Healed

By Lani Sharp

I am a born witch. One beautiful warm morning in the February of 1976, a little sunbeam was born ~ that sunbeam was me! I came forth with magic in me, a born lightworker you might say. Not only did I arrive in the much-revered Year of the Dragon but I was born on February 2, a sacred day for witches, pagans, wizards, alchemists, magic-weavers, spell-casters and of course lightworkers of all kinds. In Pagan traditions, in the northern hemisphere, February 2 is known as Imbolc, a time which celebrates the first signs of Spring and the awakening of the light in the Goddess; and in the southern hemisphere where I was born, it is known as Lughnasadh, a time which heralds the first harvest, and the blessings and prosperity this brings with it. I have always had a deep affinity with symbolism, esoterism and mysticism, so being born on this day holds a very special and profound meaning for me and my life's path.

From the moment I took my first breath under the cosmically whimsical cocktail of an Aquarius Sun and Pisces Moon, I was well on my way to healing others. My father was very sick with terminal and inoperable brain cancer when I was born, having been given only six months to live, but he made a miraculous turnaround after I came bounding into the world, and he lived for another fifteen years, well exceeding the doctors' expectations. I do not take sole credit for this (my dad, after all, was his own healer), however I do feel that a newborn child can literally breathe new life, hope, power and inspiration into a receptive individual. And my dad was the willing and fortunate recipient of this potent life force essence.

Before I share my journey with you, here are a few magical things about me:

~ I am a solitary eclectic witch who casts spells, worships the Sun, wishes on the Moon, basks in the rays of Venus, breathes in Jupiter beams, and can turn anyone into a frog or prince if I so desire.

~ I am a mother, lightworker, astrologer, author, tarot reader, crystal healer, numerologist, magician, alchemist, traveller, seeker, teacher, student and dream-believer.

~ My numerology number is 9, which is a number of vision, compassion, imagination, intuition and holistic perception, stirring one's deepest psychic self and innate healing potential.

~ My Sun in Aquarius is on the tenth house cusp in my birth horoscope, right on the midheaven, a prominent sign and position pointing me towards the lightworker's path.

~ My Moon is in Pisces, giving me a deeply spiritual focus and belief system.

~ I have every magical tool I need at my disposal, both inner and outer.

~ I am rich, enriched, loved, loving, abundant and blessed beyond measure.

~ I am doing what I love every single day and with each breath and step that I take. My lightwork is my passion and I believe that healing others as well as myself is the main reason I was born.

First and foremost, I am a mother, to my precious moonbeam Allira, born under the powerfully Lunar sign of Cancer. She was born in my spiritual home, the tropical Top End of Australia, and we will return there again one day when the time is right. My secondary and biggest passions are astrology and writing: I am a practicing astrologer and published author of 15 books and counting! My primary aim with all my books is to inspire, encourage, inform, uplift, enliven and of course en-lighten. Writing and sharing my books with the world is all part of my lightwork, and it is my mission to shine light through my words wherever it is needed.

My journey with astrology and indeed, the lightworkers' path, consciously began when I was seven years old. I was an emotional child, always crying over this or that, feeling other people's sadnesses and tragedies, taking on other peoples' dramas, projections and wounds - you could say I was a typical Lunar Piscean, in that I absorbed everything and everyone around me like a sponge, and became a huge receptacle for emotions. For the most part, I drifted along quite contentedly with the flows and tides of life, but occasionally I would get swept away, caught in a rip or pulled under! And this trouble was compounded by the fact that I was born under an Aquarian Sun, Aquarius being everything that Pisces isn't - Aquarius is detached, alert, rational, intellectual, unemotional and objective, while Pisces is attached, dreamy, irrational, spiritual, emotional and subjective. Herein lay my conflict! Everything I read about Aquarius, to my tender and sensitive seven-year-old mind, was a contradiction of who I thought I was and I seemed to be. For a while, I tried to force a persona of a stiff upper lip and stop all the weeping and blubbering over my surroundings. Then one day I had an epiphany: I was reading a book with a title something along the lines of 'Sun Sign / Moon Sign', and realised that there was a life that existed outside of one's star sign, and it was called your Moon sign. Well, what a revelation! Somehow, back in those days before Google, I swiftly discovered my Moon sign: Pisces! I devoured the whole chapter about my Solar/Lunar combination and I must've read it about ten times! How many cups of tea I consumed in this time I will never know (yes, I drank tea when I was seven, did I also mention I was unconventional?) as I was too absorbed and enchanted with the amazing new insights this knowledge provided me about my personality. Suddenly, everything fell into place. I can say that I am still that same exquisite water bearer/fish mix and adore living this experience. I can also say that this momentous moment of crystal clear clarity, is what led me to becoming the lightworker I am today.

Although I regard myself as a lightworker and healer, I believe that no one is essentially a healer, except of themselves. Let me explain. All healing we do can only come from within ourselves. So technically speaking, another person can't 'heal' us ~ all they can do is provide us with the tools, practices, knowledge, information, or techniques that we can use to heal ourselves. Further, when I provide a healing energy to someone (in the form of passing on knowledge, a tool, a reading, a practice, or a technique), I understand the underlying principle that they are the ultimate healer of themselves and I trust in this concept. If someone asks for a 'healing', I automatically assume and trust that they are receptive to it. And if they are receptive to it, it naturally follows that they will open themselves up to receiving the light they are seeking.

As a lightworker, I simply provide the tool, channel and/or the information to the recipient and then they do the rest, whether they are aware of this or not. So, if someone walks away from a session or reading feeling somehow still unhealed or broken, then there is something within them that is blocking that healing from taking place and only they can do the necessary work and take the needed steps to begin the healing journey. I am merely the teacher and channel for healing and lightwork. Remember, healing is an inside job! No one can heal you but you. I am simply a channel that can pass this understanding onto you if you request it. Once it is in your hands, then what you choose to do with it is entirely up to you. That is the beauty of being a lightworker, that I see so many wondrous examples of people healing themselves. They may try to thank me for any insights they have gained, any shifts they can sense or healing they feel has occurred, but I always remind them that they are the primary and ultimate master healer of themselves.

Some principles that I pass onto my clients, friends and family when they have chosen to undertake a healing journey under my guidance are:

~ Love is a Universal vibration that communicates to all species, functions on all levels and expresses our true nature. Love is the foundation of all healing and is the core essence of the life force.

~ Healing is a skill that can be taught and that grows stronger with practice. Lightworkers and other wellbeing practitioners become stronger at running the energy in their healing ability over time.

~ The energy follows the natural intelligence of the body to do the necessary work.

~ Trusting the process is essential. The work may cause temporary pain, emotional issues to arise, or other distressing symptoms - and these are all part of the healing process. The life force and the healing steps work with a complexity and a wisdom that are beyond our conception and levels of comprehension.

~ Everyone is essentially a
