What is a Lightworker?

Discover Your Path as a Lightworker

Here, you'll find many different roles that lightworkers can have. Whether you help people, protect the planet, or create positive change, there's a place for you.

Check out the full list of lightworker jobs below. Each is a special way to share your light and make the world better.

From Pamela Kribble:

Lightworkers are souls who carry a strong inner desire to spread light, knowledge, freedom and self-love on Earth. They sense this as their mission. They are often attracted to spirituality and to therapeutic work of some kind.

You become a lightworker when you feel the urge to act and live from your soul, your heart, and from what really inspires you. You become a lightworker when you live from what lifts you above having to struggle and survive, instead of by fear and by pretending to be someone you are not. You can call it being a lightworker, or any other name you prefer, but what matters is that, as a human being, you feel called so strongly to respond to the voice of your soul that you can no longer not do it – you know you can no longer adapt to the old way of being. That means you transition to a heart-based consciousness; that you take a decisive step forward to where you can not turn back.

Essentially if you feel guided to help others and you are not guided just by making money, you are in the light.

Making money might be a side effect of what you do, but it is not the guiding force.
