exquisite description of Lightworker's from New Mexico Lightworkers

Our Facebook friends over at New Mexico Lightworkers (renamed Golden Age Lightworkers) posted this exquisite description of lightworkers today that we'd like to share with everyone because it really does capture the character & soul of Lightworkers. 

We'd also like to remind you all that finding support and others who are "like you" is much easier now than it has ever been in the past --- you can connect with other lightworkers from around the world in the virtual world often easier than you can IRL (in real life). ;> Come join us in Facebook, on Twitter, and in blogs, and if you're close enough to some seminars or workshops I encourage you to go and experience them. They are often very moving as many old souls "recognize" each other and during group meditations when the energies are at their highest (groups pool their energies for more intense work that cannot be done alone) there are many from the other realms who also pop in to say "hi, hello," and "greetings." You'll meet those you need to and those who need to connect with you in very serendipitous ways during those workshops (usually sitting by or near you), and if you carpool or share a motel room with someone that will also be someone you're supposed to connect with for some very specific reason. :)

‎The Lightworker’s Identity 
Lightworkers are souls who carry the 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.

Because of their deeply felt mission, lightworkers often feel different from other people. By experiencing different kinds of obstacles on their way, life provokes them to find their own unique path. Lightworkers are nearly always solitary individuals, not fitting into fixed societal structures.

The reason we use the word "lightworker" despite possible misunderstandings is because it carries associations and stirs memories within you that help you remember. There is a practical convenience to it as well, since the term is frequently used in your current spiritual literature.

Historical roots of lightworkers:

• Lightworkers carry within them the ability to attain spiritual awakening faster than other people. They carry inner seeds for a rapid spiritual awakening. With regard to this, they seem to be on a faster track than most people, if they choose it. This again is not because lightworkers are in any way “better” or “higher” souls. They are, however, older than most souls presently incarnate on Earth. This older age should preferably be understood in terms of experience rather than time.
• Lightworkers have reached a particular stage of enlightenment before they incarnate on Earth and start their mission. They consciously choose to become entrenched in the “karmic wheel of life” and to experience all forms of confusion and illusion that go with it.
• They do this in order to fully understand “Earth experience.” This will enable them to fulfill their mission. Only by going through all stages of ignorance and illusion themselves will they eventually own the tools to help others achieve a state of true happiness and enlightenment.
• Lightworkers stood on the eve of humanity’s birth on Earth. They took part in the creation of man. They were co-creators of humanity. In the process of creation.
• Before we go into this particular history, we will name a few characteristics of lightworker souls which generally distinguish them from other people. These psychological traits do not uniquely belong to lightworkers and not all lightworkers will recognize all of them as theirs. By drawing up this list, we simply want to give an outline of the lightworker’s psychological identity. With regard to the characteristics, outer behavior is of less importance than inner motivation or felt intent. What you feel inside is more important than what you show outside.

Psychological characteristics of lightworkers:

• From early on in their life, they feel they are different. More often than not they feel isolated from others, lonely and misunderstood. They will often become individualists who will have to find their own unique ways in life.
• They have trouble feeling at home within traditional jobs and/or organization structures. Lightworkers are naturally anti-authoritarian which means that they naturally resist decisions or values based solely on power or hierarchy. This anti-authoritarian trait is present even if they seem timid and shy. It is connected to the very essence of their mission here on Earth.
• Lightworkers feel drawn to helping people as a therapist or as a teacher. They may be psychologists, healers, teachers, nurses, etc. Even if their profession is not about helping people in a direct manner, the intent to contribute to the higher good of humanity is clearly present.
• Their vision of life is colored by a spiritual sense of how all things are related together. They consciously or subconsciously carry memories within them of non-earthly spheres of light. They may occasionally feel homesick for these spheres and feel like a stranger on Earth.
• They deeply honor and respect life which often manifests as a fondness for animals and a concern for the environment. The destruction of parts of the animal and vegetable kingdoms on Earth by human doing invokes deep feelings of loss and grief in them.
• They are kind-hearted, sensitive and empathic. They may have trouble dealing with aggressive behavior and they generally experience difficulties in standing up for themselves. They can be dreamy, naive or highly idealistic, as well as insufficiently grounded, i.e. down-to-earth. Because they easily pick up negative feelings and moods of people around them, it is important for them to spend time alone on a regular basis. This enables them to distinguish between their own feelings and those of others. They need solitary time to touch base with themselves and with Mother Earth.
• They have lived many lives on Earth in which they were deeply involved with spirituality and/or religion. They were present in overwhelming numbers in the old religious orders of your past as monks, nuns, hermits, psychics, witches, shamans, priests, priestesses, etc. They were the ones providing a bridge between the visible and the invisible, between the daily context of Earth life and the mysterious realms of the afterlife, realms of God and the spirits of good and evil. For fulfilling this role, they were often rejected and persecuted. Many of you were sentenced to the stake for the gifts you possessed. The traumas of persecution left deep traces within your soul’s memory. This may presently manifest as a fear of being fully grounded, i.e. a fear to be really present, because you remember being brutally attacked for who you were.
• When lightworkers have made their way through the karmic burden, which means to release the need for power in any way, they will realize that they are essentially beings of light. This will enable them to help others in finding their own true selves. But first they have to go through that process themselves. This generally demands great determination and perseverance on the inner level. Because society feeds them values and judgments which often go against their own natural impulses, many lightworkers have gotten lost, ending up in states of self-doubt, self-denial and even depression and hopelessness. This is because they cannot fit into the established order of things and they conclude there must be something terribly wrong with them.

What lightworkers have to do at this point is to stop looking for validation from the outside – from parents, friends or society. At some point in time, you who are reading this will have to take the momentous leap to true empowerment, which means to really believe in yourself and to truly honor and act upon your natural inclinations and your inner knowing.

We invite you to do so and we assure you that we will be with you every step of the way – just like you will be there for others on their way in the not too distant future.

essential oil spritzers for space clearing

I'm not sure if I've mentioned it in here (but I have in my book) that you can make essential oil spritzer sprays to use in areas where burning incense or candles isn't really acceptable, like your cube at work. You can also use these spritzers in the car and around the house if you share your space with someone who has asthma or breathing issues (the smoke from incense and smudging isn't really good for them). These sprays are very light since the biggest ingredient is filtered / distilled / blessed water. And since our homes can get a bit static-ey in the winter (unless you have the humidifier way up ;>), you could also use these in large pots of hot water, either on your cook stove or wood stove (many of which can be used for also baking and warming food) to clear and scent the home. Yes, you can even put them in a stove-top humidifier and I bet they'd work just as well in a warm mist humidifier (electric), but the oils might discolor the plastic.  :)

The basic oils used in the space clearing spritzer spray are listed below. Play with the amounts and proportions of the oils, following your intuition and your nose. :) You may even find some scents that you want to put into a single oil spray. A few of my favorite oils for that Rosewood, Amber Attar, and Dragon's Blood. Dragon's Blood is an especially powerful cleanser and it clears things the others can't. (Spraying or burning Dragon's Blood and calling on Archangel Michael will clear Anything and Everything!) 

When I mixed up the batch below and used it in the office the first time, I had folks drifting over from other parts of the office asking about it. What they keyed in on was the Rosewood woodsy-spicy scent. Everyone who smells the spritzer with the Rosewood as the strongest note LOVES it! This mix (and especially the Rosewood) is quite grounding (helps w/ staying focused at work) yet clears and opens all energy centers.

Here's the clearing mixture for a 4 oz batch, with the oils listed most to least amounts: 

• Rosewood (10-20 drops)
• Frankincense (6-7 drops)
• Helichrysum (2-4 drops) --- very strong scent
• Orange (4-5 drops)
• Juniper Berry (2-4 drops) --- very strong scent
• Myrrh (1-3 drops)

Start with the oils used in the smallest amounts and work your way up. Add them to a base of filtered water in a spray bottle (4 oz). You can either clear/infuse with Reiki/Healing Energy separately or as the finished mixture. Experiment with the proportions and use what your intuition (and nose) tells you. :) Enjoy!

Ghost Stories: Denver's Top Haunts - Buckhorn Exchange

It is that time of the year....leaves falling, nights longer, days shorter, and the ghosties & goblins will be showing up on my doorstep soon for treats. :) So, in the spirit of the season, I'll add a few more posts about haunted Colorado.

Today's entry is the Buckhorn Exchange restaurant. It's Denver's oldest restaurant, dating back to 1893 when "Shorty Scout" Zietz opened it as a trading post. Short, who was given his nickname by Chief Sitting Bull, rode with Buffalo Bill. It's so old ----how old is it? --- it holds the state's very first liquor license:  number 1.  ;>

All of the early cattlemen, settlers, miners, railroad builders, silver barons, Indian Chiefs, gamblers, businessmen, and roustabouts made it a point to drop in at the Buckhorn Exchange. It was one of the most well known and loved stops. President Teddy Roosevelt ate dinner there in 1905 and then went hunting with Shorty as his guide.

In 1938 Chief Red Cloud (Sitting Bull's nephew) and a delegation of 30 Sioux & Blackfoot rode down Osage Street (where the Buckhorn is located) in full battle regalia and ceremoniously turned over to Shorty Custer's sword taken at the Battle of the Little Big Horn. The sword is still in Shorty's family today.

Besides Teddy Roosevelt, other presidents have visited there as well:  FDR, Dwight Eisenhower, Jimmy Carter, and Ronald Reagan. And of course a slew of Hollywood legends.

Today, besides carrying exotic food that out-of-town-ers must try (rattlesnake, ostrich, buffalo, elk, alligator, rocky mountain oysters [yea, you've heard about those!], quail, etc.) it is also a destination for many "ghost hunters." Reports of voices, footsteps, and tables moving by themselves abound. It's believed that the ghosts of many of the colorful characters from the past who died nearby have made it their ghostly home.

I've been in there for dinner (the food is excellent, but they were out of rattlesnake) and at that time it was so busy and packed that hearing footsteps and voices was expected. It still carries inside it and around it the energy of the true wild west and that fierce nature of independence and rugged individualism.  

Some pics of Buckhorn are below.

energy healing/medicine going mainstream?

I ran across an article over at Noetic Sciences that talks in detail about how "energy psychology" is now being accepted by the "mainstream" psychology circles. 

Anytime something starts being accepted by the mainstream psych circles, you can bet your butt there's something to it. For example, hypnosis & hypnotherapy and now energy healing & energy medicine, which they're also taking to include bits of EFT (emotional freedom technique-tapping acupressure points), as well as clearing blockages in chakras.

But don't take my word for it, take a look a the article. :)

the real poop on 2012 :)

Kryon has a free video lecture up & available here: http://www.kryon.com/cartprodimages/2012-code.html

Everything you wanted to know and the clarifications you're looking for on 2012: the galactic alignment w/ the galactic equator, the 26,000 year cycle (precession because of the wobble), lost knowledge, decision points from the past (where some of the lost civilizations decided to self terminate? possibly... and that's probably why it's freaking a number of folks out), the "3 days of darkness," fractal time, the Mayan, and of course the things that have been made up to scare you about it.

It really is the highest realm of consciousness. A paradigm shift. A higher vibration & expansion into new realities. We may have blown ourselves up in previous times when this decision point arrived, but This Time we've made it. Enough of us have held the light and enough are continuing to grow and the light is getting stronger and stronger. This Time we get a Golden Age.    

Running time is about an hour complete with illustrations and images. 

:)  Enjoy!

soul contracts, evolving, ascension & crazy shootings

December 2013 Update:  Friday afternoon another shooting occurred at Arapahoe High School.  This location is only about 5 miles away from me. Fortunately or unfortunately however you'd like to look at it, the Sheriff's departments in Colorado have had more than their share of responding to mass shootings over the 15 years, starting with Columbine in '99. They shut it down within 5 minutes of the radio call from a deputy who was at the high school when the shooting began. Apparently the kid (senior) was kicked off the debate team and that's the teacher/librarian he was targeting. Really? Because he was kicked off the debate team? Are we as a society not teaching our kids how to control or deal with their anger? You can't just damp it down, but you also don't kill people over it. You acknowledge it because ALL feelings must be honored even if they are not good or positive or high vibration. You acknowledge it and let it move through you. You look at the reason and if it's something you can do something about then do but in your own self because all we really control in this life is our own actions and reactions. We can't control others. 

I know there are other out there that don't agree with that because when I have voiced this opinion before they have tried to shut me down. But when you shut down your emotions ---- even if only the "bad" or negative ones ---- what you don't realize is that the other, good and positive emotions follow as well. And that's not good for anyone. We're humans. We're emotional, both good and bad emotions. We're not Mr. Spock from Star Trek, and even he had emotional outbursts from his human half all the time. I know this because I speak from experience. You tell anyone to shut down half of their emotional body and you will get an explosion from it sooner or later. 

September 2012 Update:  Little did I know when I wrote the entry above how many other mass shootings would occur this summer.  Recently, a Kryon message about soul contracts surfaced when he received a question from someone incarcerated for killing another while drunk driving. In the typical Kryon fashion, the answer was (besides that yes there was some agreement to do this) to look around where you are and what good can you cause to come of this? To not squander the opportunity given with such love...  obviously speaking from a higher level of consciousness there. He advised those involved to not get stuck in the drama or "victimization" but to move past it and to make certain that such a gift---the life--- was remembered and the gift used well. Please, remember those... all of those... who gave such a gift of love so that lessons could be learned and light shed. Blessings and God/Goddess be with us all....

_________________________________________
I live in Colorado. Moved here from the East Coast not long after Columbine (99) --- I arrived in Feb 2000 and Columbine was still fresh in everyone's memory.  Still is.... never gone, just not on the tip of everyone's tongues anymore.  Columbine was the first of the mass shootings that would between then and now happen around the country in various places and even around the world--- Norway. Its 1 year anniversary was this weekend.

When we woke up to the goings on in Aurora Friday morning, everyone here was stunned. Phone calls were flying before my alarm even went off  --- I work for an East Coast company for my "day job" and and there are several of us in Colorado employed by them --- at least 10 on my team and probably another 10 on a different team.

When I was talking to HR on my way to work, I told them that we'd need to be extra sensitive to anyone who had been involved in Columbine because this incident would just rip the psychological scars right off. Unfortunately, I was right. Unbeknownst to me I would learn later that morning that one of my team members had indeed been at Columbine HS as a student during the incident in 99. 

Later, another team member who has a bit more of a "woo woo" bent (like me) sent this message:

All I kept thinking about when I read about the shootings was “contracts”.  Someone had to agree to come down here to do the shooting and others agreed to be victims.  It’s times like this that I feel I may end up back here on earth again because I haven’t evolved enough to put my head around all the “whys”.  You know what I mean?"

So my reply to her (below) sent off a bunch of verification signals for me & I thought I would share it here for anyone else trying to make metaphysical sense of it all. I hope it helps, in its own small way.

Yes….  All I can say is that at times like this it is easier to think about it (things here) as if it were a play--- and we all picked our parts and put contracts in place….because we’re all just a bunch of grad students and learning about the Light and the Dark… and the nature of each…. Things like this… will also be increasing in occurrence….  The increased energy, not everyone can handle.  There are some who are not “jumping” to the next higher dimension who will stay here to help w/ stuff like this….  Those who can’t or won’t evolve up will re-incarnate on another 3-D Earth that’s being prepared… because our little blue planet is also evolving up…. :) And that’s why there is so much help here now… angels, ascended masters, all kinds of helpers & healers from many different dimensions & many different times… I know some of that may sound “way out” there…

I'm fairly certain that I'll be one of the ones who stays behind to help. Many things in my experience point to this, including the ability to venture into areas that are "dark" for long periods of time while maintaining my own bubble of light. Many of my friends cannot venture into those places let alone stay there for very long. But those dark places are also the places where Light is needed to the most.

So, the next obvious question is why Colorado first? My instinct tells me it's because of the altitude. Thinner atmosphere and less protection from the increase of photons & energy that we're experiencing and will continue to experience for the rest of our lifetimes. It's part of what the whole 2012 & ascension thing is all about.

My teammate then proceeded to say something to the effect that "sometimes, I think we're closer to the end of the world than we know...."

To which I responded (again w/ verification signals all over), "we are both closer and farther away than you think..."

Those who won't be jumping, will stay in 3-D. They will live their lives out here, go thru the death process & be re-born into another 3-D "earth" that is being prepared now. 

Those who are going to jump with Mother Earth will help her make the jump. This is something that has been in the works for eons... millions of years, and actually getting her to the point of jumping is something many of us have been working on thru many, many lifetimes on this beautiful little blue planet.

So, see it for what it is. Recognize that our souls are indeed immortal and that all is not as it appears here. Be at peace with your life, your decisions, and your soul.  And we'll all reunite on the other side....before picking our parts and doing it all again.  

Namaste' my friends. And may God/Goddess be with you all.
