‘Lightworker’ is a term often used in the spiritual community.
If you feel as though you’re called to have a deeper purpose in this world, you might be able to relate to this special role.
In this article, we’ll explore the main signs of being a lightworker.

What is a Lightworker?
A lightworker is a term that refers to a person who has undergone a spiritual awakening and feels called to illuminate the dark places of life.
Lightworkers are often empaths, old souls, and highly sensitive people, with a strong connection to their soul’s voice.
A Lightworker Illuminates the Darkness
While ‘lightworker’ sounds like an exclusively new age term that focuses only on love and light and the ‘feel good,’ it’s not. Or at least, it doesn’t have to be.
The light and darkness are intrinsically connected – one cannot exist without the other.
It’s for this reason that authentic lightworkers often focus a lot on the darkness or the shadow side of humanity.
Many lightworkers focus on:
- healing trauma,
- undoing toxic core beliefs,
- healing the inner child, and
- shining a light on the buried shadow self
After all, what use is the light if it cannot illuminate the darkness?

I’ve been born into a broken world and my purpose is to make sure when I leave it, know I have left my mark of kindness on it somewhere.

I come from a very religious background, to be exact, I was a Pentecostal preacher! But have had my eyes opened so wide!! This is absolutely beautiful!! And true!! Thank you! Anxious to hear more
Wow, I actually teared up. All of them ring true for me. Have always felt so out of place, just different. Thank you for sharing
This is fascinating to me. Is the concept of a lightworker compatible with the general ideas one might come to through belief in the Bible? Because I’m interested in this concept, but if it doesn’t work within my religious beliefs I want to know upfront, before digging any deeper.
