CHAPTER 1:
INITIATION
Once you see the light you are, you can’t un-see it
WHAT IS LIGHTWORKER TRAINING?
Lightworker Training is a series of lessons that can teach you how to work with the light and energy of creation. Together the lessons compose a well-rounded toolkit that distills essential teachings from myriad modalities.
The training will provide you with key concepts and structures for working with the power of your mind to direct the light of your energy and consciousness in a practical way. It includes instruction in mental foundations of effective lightwork practice, tools to develop your intuitive skills, and techniques for all essential steps in a lightwork session for yourself, a loved one, or a client.
Each chapter corresponds to a weekly lesson. Each week you can learn and practice a new set of tools. I have found a week to be the perfect balance of enough time to fully integrate and practice without feeling overwhelmed, but not so much that one loses momentum or starts forgetting what one has learned. That being said, you should work at the pace that suits you.
In Part One, you’ll get a breakdown of the mindset and of the consciousness tools that are key to a foundational understanding of true healing. With these tools it is possible to make a top-down shift from the mental level that will affect the energetic, emotional, and physical bodies. Without these tools, you would simply be working at the level of symptoms and not getting to the root causes. Without a shift in the mind, energy work becomes mechanical and lacks any lasting effects, but when the foundational mindset is engaged, the work becomes light and powerful. Instead of depleting your energy, it will nourish and uplift you.
In Part Two, you’ll get a multimodality energy work toolkit. Tools are presented in the order in which they are typically performed in a lightwork session, from opening invocation to closing gratitude. Each chapter of Part Two corresponds with another step in the Lightwork Session Protocol outline that is given in the appendix. To remind, inspire, and guide you, each chapter ends with a summary of Key Points, some Integration Tips to help you weave that chapter’s tools and concepts into your daily life, and Practicum Possibilities that provide more structured exercises you can use to explore your understanding of the course and your personal journey of healing.
WHERE DID IT COME FROM?
The tools I’m sharing were gathered through many channels: initiation through life experience, experimentation in personal practice, studying books, attending classes, meditation and contemplation, training with teachers and facilitators, countless hours of volunteer service, trading with other healers, sudden inspiration, working with hundreds of clients in thousands of sessions, facilitating ceremonial and educational events, teaching classes, receiving spiritual downloads, and other mysterious ways that I am unaware of, but grateful for nonetheless.
Every one of those beings and circumstances were my teachers. What I offer incorporates wisdom from many different schools. I encourage you to do what I did and take what works, make it yours, and don’t worry about the rest. Don’t take anything I say for granted, but rather notice what feels true for you. The truth is within you already, and when something aligns with that truth, you will feel it resonate like a bell being struck.
Truth is not something you learn. It’s something you remember that you already know.
Because all the true and helpful teachings are divine reminders that belong to all and echo through our shared mind over and over until we all awaken to truth, it is impossible for any one individual to own them. Therefore, I claim no ownership over the wisdom of the teachings or the techniques that have been shared with me through my teachers. I claim ownership only of my unique presentation of them.
The empowerment, knowledge, and freedom that come from these practices are our birthright. Any wisdom you gain is thanks to spirit flowing through me and any errors are no doubt of my own ego identification. I am grateful for your forgiveness of them.
WHY THIS BOOK?
This book is something that Lightworker Training students have been requesting for years, because no text currently exists to which I can refer them for study or reference. Like all my work, it is a synergy of many different teachings and I realize that much of what I present here may have been said before or even better by someone else, but we each bring our unique expression to our work, so this encourages me to keep going.
In this text, I share what I’ve found to be the most essential consciousness tools and energy work techniques to save time spent in suffering and to care for yourself and others, presented in a clear, ordered structure.
PRINCIPLES OF LIGHTWORKER TRAINING
Lightworker Training is a collection of tools for empowerment and self-discovery. It is for those dedicated to self-love and self-realization who desire their lives be a positive contribution to the whole of life. It affirms that we are all co-creators of our experiences and that we are the only person we can free from suffering. There is no one else to free, because ultimately, we are one.
Lightworker Training affirms that you are a sovereign being of light and that the truth is already within you. Your natural state of being is one of abundant peace, knowledge, and freedom. You already have the ability to undo your social conditioning and return to the truth of your organic nature, which is powerful and free. Lightworker Training teaches you how to access what you already have.
Lightworker Training affirms that miracles are natural and healing of any kind is possible. It also recognizes that attachment to the form the healing takes could limit the possibilities experienced. It also recognizes that you can free yourself from limiting beliefs and the energetic residue of trauma and social conditioning.
Lightworker Training affirms that what heals one heals all and that you have the power within you to change your mind, your life, and your world.
Lightworker Training is a spiritual teaching, but it is non-hierarchical and non-dogmatic in nature. It is not an ideological program or belief system to subscribe to or reject. It is a multimodality toolkit based on the ancient art and science of spiritual practices that work with the organic light information of the unified field of consciousness.
Lightworker Training concepts and practices do not require or demand your belief in anything. As a matter of fact, it teaches practices through which, eventually, all beliefs are released. The truth is the truth and does not require anyone’s belief in it, rather it will naturally make itself evident to those who are willing to know it.
Lightworker Training abides in spiritual minimalism and does not advocate for amassing a collection of physical tools. The only tool required is your mind. Even the energy work tools are simplified as much as possible while still teaching diverse applications.
Lightworker Training recognizes and honors the sovereignty of every being. Therefore, receiving explicit consent is essential before venturing into another’s psychic or energetic space. If you find yourself judging another as needing your help, the most helpful thing you can do is to clear your own judgments about the person’s situation so that you can see them as already perfect.
Those requesting healing service must be willing to let go of their attachments. This is true whether you are working with yourself or with another. You cannot take something from someone who is not willing to release it. They will use their free will to recreate it. Everyone must take responsibility for their own learning, healing, and spiritual growth.
As a sovereign being, responsible for your own learning, healing, and development, you get to say “yes” to that which resonates in alignment with what you’d like to create, and you get to say “no” to anything that doesn’t. That includes anything I may offer in this course.
The techniques and practices given in this text are a complement to, not a replacement for, other forms of therapeutic treatments.
HOW TO GET THE MOST OUT OF THIS WORK
My part in this work is to create a clear distillation of my extensive experience and present it to you in the form of helpful tools that you can easily learn. Your part is to use them.
Practice what works for you. This text means nothing without your experience of the tools. It is not enough to grasp a concept intellectually. Practice is essential. When you come to a section in the text that involves an experiential practice, take the time to actually do the steps. With that in mind, it is helpful to read this text when you are in a space that is conducive to practicing the techniques. Even the consciousness...
