Being a Lightworker and an Empath is not always an easy task. You have chosen to incarnate on this planet at this time in history for a particular purpose – your spiritual vocation. Here are some ways to help you stay lusciously shiny and feeling your best through it all!
Luscious Lightworker + Enigmatic Empath Tips
Spiritual Protection – Call in your angels and your guides to surround you in the white light of protection. Archangel Michael is a great spiritual warrior and protector. Invite him into your energy to create a shield of protection around you. Spiritual and Psychic Protection is extremely important to have up when going into toxic environments. Perhaps you have a rough relationship with a coworker, volatile communication with a family member. It is also important for environments where there will be a lot of buzzing, clashing, and swirling energies abound like a mall or busy restaurant.
Is this mine or someone else’s – When you feel overwhelmed by emotion or when you are having a great day and decide to go out with friends only to return sad and depressed. In those moments, try and see if you can separate the thoughts from the emotions and ask yourself the question of if these emotions really belong to you. Catalog everything you are feeling and try to determine to the best of your ability if you’re really angry or if you just happened to pick up your anger from the guy at the bar or your girlfriend’s heartache after a fight with her boyfriend.
Clearing your energy + your space – Keeping your aura clear and fresh is a major part of spiritual hygiene, plus it just feels damn good! Use florida water to create an aura mist or get a smudge stick and sage yourself, your home, and your property. You can even get a himalayan salt lamp. See how re-arranging the furniture in a particular room in your home changes the flow of energy. Cleanse your crystals and other magical tools.
Stay grounded – Ground your energy daily to help keep you mindful of the here and now. This will also help to release excess energy or emotions into the earth. Staying grounded is also extremely important in helping you to adjust to and assimilate higher vibrations.
Taking a step back + away from toxic situations – This is important so as not to have your energy drained by toxic situations. Know when and where to focus your energies. Try not to engage in toxic and unhealthy habits, behaviors, and situations.
Some may just not understand and that’s okay – Some of your family members and friends may not embrace or understand what you do or why you’re doing it. Some may think you’re crazy or woo-woo or airy fairy and flaky. Send these people love and keep your practice if that is what your soul tells you to do. Just because they may not understand your path, does not mean that they’re bad people or carry a low vibration or are not a part of your soul tribe.

Keep spreading your light anyway – Even though there may be naysayers, shine anyway. Even though you may be frustrated, shine anyway. Even when you feel like you’re not being heard, shine anyway. Even when you feel unappreciated and unnoticed, shine anyway. When you feel alone in your cause, shine anyway. When you feel beat down and worn, allow your heart to shine anyway.
Work with high vibe crystals and stones that protect your energy – Some of my favorite crystals for this purpose are selenite, clear quartz, apophyllite, elestial quartz, moldavite, nuumite, aqua aura quartz, celestite, rose quartz, tektite, amethyst, and scocelite. There are many more out there. Don’t be afraid to do research on your own. If you’re new to the vibration of crystals, be cautious as some of the crystals listed above carry an intense vibration that may make you uncomfortable (like being lightheaded, hot, dizzy, or feeling your body vibrate) if you’re not accustomed to the vibration! This is why grounding is important.
Meditate often – Get in touch with your soul. Talk to your Higher Self. De-stress and calm yourself. Clear your mind. Find peace. Sink into your center. Meditation is great for stress relief, soul searching, increasing your sense of happiness, and boosting your creativity! It also helps to connect you to the world of spirit, the higher realms, and raises your vibration.
Connect with your spirit guides regularly – They have much guidance and love to share with you. I have had the most beautiful experiences with my spirit guides – especially one’s that started in meditation and carried on into the waking world. They send you beautiful signs and symbols if you open your eyes and ears to it!
Drink plenty of water – This keeps your energy clear and flowing as well as helps you stay hydrated. I also believes drinking water helps to strengthen your connection to spirit. The more spiritual work you do, the more water you may drink.
Eat more foods that keep your vibration high – Fruit and veggie it up Lightworker friends! Invite more color into your diet. Try to eat organic when you can. These foods are less dense and keep your vibration lighter as your body isn’t busy working on digesting heavier foods like meats and cheeses.
Stop comparing your spiritual journey – Refrain from comparing someone else’s experience and knowledge to your own. Whether it be ego and pride or from a lack of self-confidence – cut it out. Seriously love, let it go. All this does is lower your vibration and traps you in a state of insecurity. How can you shine your light as bright as possible, when you continue to turn your spotlight in someone else’s direction? Besides, you have your own unique perspective that needs to be shared. Focus on you and what makes you happy. Those who inspire you did not become a success or full of spiritual wisdom overnight. It took years of lessons, tears, and hard work. You never know what someone else went through or is currently going through. You are exactly where you are meant to be right now in your journey. Embrace it in love. Spiritual growth is not a competition.
