A lightworker is someone who makes a conscious decision to make the world a brighter place by being in it. They are individuals who devote their lives to being a bright light in the world and understand that their actions, no matter how big or small, have the potential to raise the vibration of the planet. Lightworkers are intuitive and driven by their internal guidance, and they can often perceive the emotions and needs of other living beings, which enables them to harness and direct their healing powers towards those who need help. They believe in carrying out coordinated efforts to dispel or chase away negative consciousness using their positive energies and healing powers. Lightworkers are not just tie-dye-wearing hippies and healers with dreads, but they can be anyone from nurses to life coaches, writers to singers, and mothers to mediums. They are people on the spiritual path with an absolute dedication to their work, and they feel within their soul that there is something they HAVE to do, and they work at it with determination and excitement. Lightworkers are said to be very important because they help "lift" the vibrations of the planet so its not bogged down with "low vibrations" like selfishness, fear, and anger.
