I’m sure you have heard the term Light Workers - and if not, I’ll put money on it that you will be more aware of this term moving toward.
As my spiritual awakening progressed I learned of this term and felt it was also a part of my calling - ultimately being here on earth to bring light - to be the lighthouse in the storm. And while that is still somewhat true - I know I am also here for my own personal development and to enjoy life too! 😀✨
Along the way, I’ve experienced folks also awakening but falling into their own traps of vices, judgement and other items. All parts of their path too.
If you have a mini - see if this article resonates at all. And at minimum - I find these core items the baseline for all of us as we continue to grow in our own development:
1. Observe Consciously
One of the greatest gifts of spiritual teachings and practices is to help us become aware of our natural human reactions and emotions. We may not be able to control our inner reactions, but if we can catch ourselves as soon as thoughts like, “They are so (fill in the blank)!” come up, we become a witness to our reactions rather than bound by them or identified with them.
2. Accept Compassionately
Once we realize we have slipped into judgement and made ourselves better than or superior to another, instead of condemning ourselves for condemning, we can practice compassion for our own humanness. We can take a deep breath, process our feelings and welcome what we might learn about ourselves.
3. Respond Lovingly
Now that are aware of whatever has come up for us, we can go beyond accepting our human reactions and transcending them by asking one simple question: “What would love do?” The moment we ask this, we bypass our ideas and ideologies and get right to the heart and soul—where all spiritual paths are trying to lead us anyways.
