Dark Workers

This is a rather old text of mine, covering the field of dark workers, a concept which has always resonated more with me.

Like light workers, there are those who work with the energies of a darker nature. Dark workers are not evil or bad, but work with elements deemed dark, such as the dead, crystals (which grow and form in darkness, despite having such a light appearance) and varying planes and guides. To a dark worker, darkness simply means "not light".

Dark workers are accustomed to energies of a more shadowy nature, bending it to our will and caring for those it effects. Most importantly, we are healers, first and foremost. Darkness is required to balance light, as everything in life is balanced. A dark worker is not the opposite of a light worker, rather we are complimentary.  While a light worker such as a reiki healer will infuse a person with universal light and energy to flush out darkness, a dark worker draws away the darkness already present, or manipulates it to become more manageable.  Dark workers do not draw upon the universal light through the crown chakra, rather we draw energy up from the earth below through the root chakra.

As energy workers we may perform our functions either consciously and directly drawing darkness or unconsciously, by counselling those in need. Before "awakening" as a dark worker, we often take on many roles as counseller or protector, quite subconsciously. As a result, we can take on that darkness and often overwhelm ourselves with it.  If not well managed, a dark worker can easily fall into depression and self harm, either psychic, emotional or physical.  Current times are seeing an increase in darkness, leading to more and more dark workers falling into the darkness, as it consumes them.  

There is something going on, a change occurring, that is proving hard to weather. Many of us are falling prey to suicide, or giving up helping completely and losing their empathy. Those who lose it can become sociopathic, even if they were previously an empathic and caring person. It is becoming an almost daily battle to not let the darkness overwhelm us.
