About the lightworker concept

Within this spiritual tradition, a lightworker describes someone who feels a genuine, often lifelong calling to help raise consciousness, support others' healing, and contribute to positive change in the world. This calling tends to express itself through different roles — some lightworkers heal directly, others teach, others simply live in a way that inspires by example, and others open entirely new paths for people to follow.

This test identifies your primary and secondary lightworker role from six common expressions of this calling. Your results page goes beyond a label, exploring how your specific role tends to show up, how to embody it sustainably, and common pitfalls — including burnout and the risk of over-identifying with helping others — worth watching for along the way.
