The start of my journey as a light worker

The beginning of something new

Welcome to my new blog! I'm a 30 something year of woman who is currently undergoing a major transition in my life and so I thought I'd chronicle my journey as a boring lawyer to a light worker. What the heck is a light worker do you ask? Let me tell you, but before I answer that question, let me give you some background on myself to put this blog into context.

A bit about me...

For the last 30 something years, my journey had been something pretty mundane and unspectacular. I went to high school, graduated from University with a law degree and then broke out into the real world - i.e got a real job and moved out of home. My first job out of Uni wasn't actually a legal job, but it was close enough, and it was definitely a stepping stone to my next job which was smack bang in the law.

So from my number of years in the law, I:

• Worked in house and enjoyed the normal 9-5 working hours and the perks (travel, work parties and dinners with copious amounts of food and drink, corporate credit card, my own laptop, etc); 
• Worked in a couple of law firms working some insane hours; 
• Lost a job; and 
• Ending up in a pretty decent job away from the pretentiousness and greed of law firms.

The last job was, at that stage in my life, the job I had always wanted. I used to be an ambitious person, wanting to climb to the top of the corporate ladder pretty quickly. I set my goals and achieved them. With this job, I achieved my goal of being where I was 4 years before I had planned it to be a reality. Then I ran into a conundrum - what was next for me?

I spent 8-9 months in limbo umming and ahhing about the direction I wanted my career to take. Did I want to stay in corporate? My initial thought was yes - but then when I was given the opportunity to try it out, I hated it. It bored the living daylights out of me and I literally had no motivation to do it. I had always advised people to have a career that they were passionate about. When I tried to take that advice myself, I was at a loss. What exactly was I passionate about???

Rewind back a few years where I was a client of an awesome female chiropractor. She used a technique called applied kinesiology on me and that kind of changed my life forever. Ever since that (and now that I look back, since I was "young"), I had an interest in natural therapies. I learnt a lot more about myself and was fascinated about how the human body had all the power to heal itself. I was a regular client of kinesiology, as well as remedial massage and cranial sacral therapy. I used these techniques to help me handle the stress of being a lawyer.

Anyway, I digress. So, 8 months after I asked myself "Where to next?", the answer hit me like a lightning bolt. It actually was a passing comment from my mother "You seem so into this natural health thing so why don't you do it?". Ever since that moment, I made the decision I was leaving my current career to become a natural therapist - specifically, a remedial massage therapist + some!

Why the reference to light worker?

So after the big revelation, I became to open up a lot to spirituality. That said, I'm a Catholic by birth, and I still am, but things happened in my life that made me realise that there are more things out "there" that we aren't taught at church. So I began to research it, then it became almost like an obsession. I'm still a student of this but one of the things that popped up was the concept of a light worker - a person's whose life purpose on Earth is to heal people and contribute to the betterment of society and the world. This person generally does this in a spiritual way.

I realised (and I also get strong messages (more on that later)) that I have been called to be a lightworker - which explains why I have absolutely no regrets of my decision to completely change my careers and go down the new path of a healer. This blog is the story of my journey.
