The Lightworker's Way: Awakening Your Spirtual Power to Know and Heal [Paperback]

Doreen Virtue (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: August 1997

In The Lightworker's Way, Dr Doreen Virtue takes you on a spiritual adventure as she recounts her own life story of awakening her healing and clairvoyant power. You are a lightworker if you feel called to heal others; want to resolve the world's social and environmental problems; believe that spiritual methods can heal any situation; feel compelled to write, teach, or counsel others; and know that you are here for a higher purpose, even if you are unsure what it is or how to fulfil it. Right now, lightworker's are awakening to faint memories of their divine life missions. They hear an inner calling that can't be ignored. This call is a reminder that it is now time to get to work in healing the planet and its population. Dr Virtue helps you reawaken the natural gifts that you have within you. You will learn how to conduct healing sessions, heighten your psychic receptivity, call upon the angels that are always by your side, and learn how to open your "third eye".

Just what I was looking for!

Not only a book about Doreen's life, beliefs and path but also one that shares many effective lightworker/healer techniques that have helped me.

Techniques include working on one's own issues and cleaning one's own energy/chakras, centering oneself, the purpose of Creation and the Universe, work with angels, work with spirit guides, mediumship and spirit releasement, working with healing others and healing the earth. Doreen gives techniques on keeping your work pure and making sure you are aligned with Love and Divine Purpose.

Doreen stresses the importance of being aware of your ego that may get in the way of your work as a lightworker or healer, and then also offers suggestions on how to overcome the voice of your ego. I cannot tell you how much more pure her teachings are to me only because I have been turned off by some books of those who teach spirituality and healing but whose teachings are tainted strongly with the writers' egos (i.e., religious bias, extreme-feminist opinions or just plain self-vanity). This book is for those who want to tap in their mystical powers for service to others(Love) and not for themselves(Ego).

This book has taken away my lingering fears about the spirit world, tapping into my personal power and meditating more deeply because I learned about praying to angels and spirit guides for guidance and protection and to create Pure intentions and thoughts.

For some time now, although I did not believe I was psychic, people, even total strangers, would confide in me and I found out I had knack for offering them unconditional love and advice. When I finally fully realized that I had such a gift I came to the knowledge that I wanted to be a healer. Although, I had already been on a path of self-discovery that included meditation, prayer and community service, I did not yet know how to go about the next steps until I found this book. Of course, this book is not an end in itself, and does not pretend to be. It will open doors for you to further your work, creativity and self-exploration.

A wonderful "handbook" for those "first-timers" with the desire to serve humankind with their inherent gifts.

5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful guidebook for spiritually-minded healers!, June 19, 2000

This review is from: The Lightworker's Way: Awakening Your Spirtual Power to Know and Heal (Paperback)

Dr. Doreen Virtue provides excellent information for those on a spiritual path in her book "The Lightworker's Way." We are able to learn more about ourselves and the spiritual realm by reading of the experiences Doreen had while awakening to her Divine life purpose. There is also a comprehensive guide to conducting spiritual healing sessions, and imperative information on healing your own life as an essential part of healing the world.

As a clairaudient, I am able to hear the angels give me specific page numbers to flip to, and they always contain information that is beneficial to my current path. The angels have been having me use this book as a guide and learning tool for several months, and it had been highly beneficial for me. I recommend it to anyone who has an interest in healing themselves, other people, and the planet.

This review is from: The Lightworker's Way: Awakening Your Spirtual Power to Know and Heal (Paperback)

The first half of the book is Doreen's life story. It is very interesting. The second half of the book is about different healing modalities and exercises. The forgiveness exercises I found to be extremely helpful. It seemed that everytime I picked up this book, there was a message just for me in the words... It was so awesome-- like my guides were communicating to me through this book. Overall, it was an easy read and jammed packed with useful information.
