I know this is a long passage, but worth the effort to read till the end. If you are not ready to realize that you can be a lightworker, yourself, you will surely know people who are. Forward this to them as a tribute to their efforts to do good works on the planet.
Energy ReConditioning Pilot Project is moving along well. I have one company who is in their third week of healing, a stockbrokerage house in The Hague will begin shortly and several other companies have been invited to participate.
I will go to their office once a week for six weeks to do energy healing on a few of their employees to reduce stress and increase energy levels. At the end of the study we will document it and share the results with other companies to promote employee inner wellness at work. Comments so far are: "I am feeling really focused, full of energy, not wnating to procrastinate as I have done in the past and my communication with my business partner is working well, even in stressful times."
I will attend "THE RECONNECTION Healing weekend intensive workshop in Amsterdam November 13, 14 and 15. I will work with American Healer Eric Pearl to learn this powerful new form of 'healing on contact' and integrate what I learn and receive from this experience.
I have heard that it is a life changing weekend for the healer/lightworker...
I will write about the results for you in two weeks time!
Thanks for reading -
I wish you a week full of Namaste'...

The Lightworkers' Syndrome
There is a shift in awareness taking place in the minds and hearts of many people around the world. We are coming to realize that we have some higher purpose on the planet to perform in the service of humanity.
It is not the case that we are born, grow up with life experiences that shape who we are, grow old and die and that is the end. We have this nagging feeling that we have something profound to do here. We may not be quite sure what that higher purpose is, but know that there is some path, not yet lit, that we should follow in order to accomplish our agreed upon task.
We are called lightworkers. We know we are here to perform some divine task and are anxious to find the way to fulfil it. According to V. Sanders of www.associatedcontent.com,
"A lightworker is, in essence, a person who experiences a higher calling to help people and the world itself through prayer, healing, meditation , energy work and related practices.
Persons who may designate themselves light workers might be involved in Reiki or other energy healing, yoga, chiropractic massage or a whole laundry list of natural or spiritual healing techniques. The one commonality that they all share is the belief that the desire to do whatever work they are doing in the field of healing is the product of a higher calling, and ultimately fulfills their purpose on this planet."
There is often a problem associated with realizing one is a lightworker: we know for sure that we are one, from the longing in our hearts to serve, but have not received clear guidance on what that noble task is.
Of course, some valiant people know at an early age to go to Africa to help the Rwandan refugees. Others become doctors who perform life saving surgery. Yet others go into social work, human rights advocacy or the religious life. These lightworkers have a clear understanding of their path and mission in this life and set about to fulfil it with clarity and purpose.
But what about the rest of us, average, hard working, unsure "coming out" lightworkers who know we have something important to do in the world, but don't have a clue what it is? Whether we are soccer moms with a nagging little voice that urges us do something more, or a humble business owner searching for ways to quietly serve within their organizations and make a difference on the planet. Suzanne Falter-Barnes, the well known branding expert has stated that she has experienced this syndrome, as well as many other famous healers and inspirational leaders.
These poor souls, including myself, experience from time to time - The Lightworkers Syndrome. This unfortunate malady affects the lightworker by creating panic, frustration and anguish in mind and heart. It is a dreadful feeling of uneasiness and fear that we will not be able to fulfil our purpose in time before our life is over. We ask God or the Universe for clarity. We ask and we ask and we ask, but often times the Universe is silent or gives a breadcrumb of hope, now and then to guide us on our way.
But more often than not, we are left with the understanding of the dilemma, the need to serve, but without clear direction in how to make a big difference in the world.
There are ten stages of The Lightworkers Syndrome that you may have experienced in your journey so far:
Euphoria - You realize that you want to do something good with your life that is of service to humanity and that you want to join the order of lightworkers on the planet and are figuratively ready to start your soul's work NOW. Hooray!
Asking for directions - You are sure that the Universe will be pleased at your decision and will send your 'Welcome to the Lightworkers Team' manual by express mail.
Looking for clues, messages and inspirational nudges - when the manual is late in delivery. Hmmm. Nothing coming through yet... Does the Universe have my correct address? You ask more earnestly.
You grow impatient - You are sure that the information will be handed to you shortly on the proverbial silver platter. Wrong...
You start to get mad at the Universe for not answering - Where is my Lightworker manual, anyway?
You complain to anyone who will listen - God is not responding and that you don't know why, when you offer yourself in service so devotedly. (Sorry to my own girlfriends who have personally experienced my whining in this stage.)
You begin to rage - You look up and say, Why aren't You listening to me? Your panic level starts to rise. What if I don't get this in time and I cannot fulfil my mission? You find yourself saying quietly with a quivering lip, "All I want to do is serve... "
You figuratively throw up your spiritual arms in the air and turn your back on the lightworker calling for a short time. You stamp your foot as a petulant child who turns away when he/she does not get what he/she wants. That manual is not coming...
Suddenly, a new day dawns and you seem to have gained wisdom about God's timing. You release the urgent need to serve and let it be for a while, releasing the anxiety and fear of time running out. You contemplate the meaning of Divine Timing in your life, and work on your own spiritual growth and stability and prepare for what is to come... for God IS always listening...
You move forward in your activities in practical life and look for ways to be of service. You allow intuitive messages to pop into your head. People and opportunities start to come across your path and things start to flow in your quest to serve. You smile to yourself, look back and say, "Aahhh, this is what Divine Timing is all about. I knew it all along...
The Lightworker Syndrome is a challenging process, but if you do not lose faith and do not give up, you will be rewarded a hundredfold. God can be testing your commitment to serve. God and the Universe are ALWAYS listening.
The key to overcoming the Lightworker Syndrome is to understand this: When you commit to be a lightworker on the planet, God hears it and rejoices. If you can relax and let the process develop, God will put things in your path to help you accomplish your mission. You must act to look for your path to follow, not with pressure, but with grace and faith in the outcome.
Are you a lightworker? Are you willing to reflect on this question? Ask yourself how you can consciously step into those shoes.
Are you following your calling? If you are, good for you.
If you are not clear on what your calling is, don't worry. If you live in faith, love and service, eventually, you will be called on to assist in healing the planet in ways that are unique to you...
Unique to your own light.
Namaste!
