Always available
But we do need to request
The request of light
To swim in pristine gold
Outside of time
Beyond the limits of the manifest
The request
The request that changes everything
Such an amazing creation…freedom is
It requires you to request it
Because
You are free not to
Another day dawns
Hopes and dreams awaken once more
Another spring is born
It suggests a future of light
Another vow spoken
Integrity still alive
Another heartbeat
The reality of the manifest
Another being comes into body
The journey continues
Another sunray
Another dewdrop
Another morning breeze
Another glance to the sky
And source showers down on all
With glorious abundance
Many walk this earth
Eyes closed to reality
Wanting liberation
But creating limitation
There is a bigger world
Are we too shortsighted to see it?
There is a higher ground
Why are we not trying to reach it?
The time for waking is now
Before it is too late
The time for action is now
To live what we believe
We are sacred beings
Living in a sacred world
Let us honour this
And live up to our sacred potential
The leap of change
To let go of one season and embrace another
To destroy an old way of being and create anew
To know that all is fleeting
Only Source is forever
As the ages turn we move and flow
The Universe expands and contracts
Like a single heartbeat
A single heartbeat
Constant change
Nothing in any Universe is motionless
Wheels of light
Wheels of dark
In what way do you want to travel?
In this vibrant ever-changing wash of energy
It’s a process
It’s one step at a time
The path winds with hills and valleys
And yes, some demons to slay
Around suspicious corners
There are views to stir up tears
Moments of transcendence
And of course thousands of turnoffs
Which take a spiritual warrior to endless distraction
The way is bright
And with practice, diligence and follow through
The warrior gets brighter every step
Having Source more and more
Unlimited Source
Joy Source
Love Source
Free Source
The way you walk
The way you suffer
The way you look to the sky with wonder
The way you grow
The way you shine
The way you feel fear and then do it anyway
You are a spark of Source
A brilliant luminescent being
You are here to be love
You are here to bring light into this reality
Walk your way
Suffer your way
Grow your way
Shine your way
Validate your journey
Yes to the unlimited expressions of the Divine
The myriad of unique paths
The way of the internal fire
The warrior is not aggressive
The warrior is steadfast
The warrior protects
Communities of light
The warrior of integrity
Is a spiritual warrior
Much more than just body
The spiritual warrior does not fear change
But embraces it
The spiritual warrior releases
And creates fertile ground for the new
The spiritual warrior transcends the manifest
With
“Freedom for all”
Chanted into eternity
Change is growth
Growth is change
We touch truth, we take the step
In circles and cycles the cosmos flows
And in the center the spirit knows
Yes I know you are here
Yes I can feel your love
You touch me so gently, like a warm breeze
With such ease you are all
Only revealing yourself when asked
Ascent or descent, the lesson is free will
Ascent or descent, the lesson is love
Like the young morning’s light
Orange gentle warming
The giddy excitement of the new
Grounded in the ancient
A bright and powerful dawn
The darkness slowly bleeding away
Revealing the places longing to be filled
Light reflects off water
A maple leaf’s shadow on the ground
A drop hangs from a flower’s petal
The wind moves the hair on my arm
A cool door handle
A tree creaks in the breeze
Air flows into my lungs
A shared smile with a loved one
The ground solid beneath my feet
The sun’s rays make me blink
I sigh the sigh on the fulfillment
The sheer beauty and richness of simplicity
Scott Robinson is the founder and spiritual director of Lightwork Spiritual Development, based on Gambier Island, B.C. For more than 30 years, Scott’s spiritual evolution has been his life focus, along with helping others discover themselves as spiritual beings.
Even in earlier stages of his life Scott lived outside the confines of mainstream society as a hippie kid, musician, video artist, photographer, poet and world traveller. Spiritually aware from childhood, he could see energy, and he knew there was a bigger picture than the material pursuits of life.
His spiritual purpose took shape in his early twenties when he discovered a meditation style that was an immediate fit. He dove deeply into spiritual studies, deepening his clairvoyant abilities and learning the art of self-healing.
Scott is constantly pushing the boundaries of spiritual knowledge. Through teaching, writing and photography, he empowers others to become conscious, bright spiritual beings on the path to freedom.
Scott is also Chair of the Board, chief visionary, and manager of the Lightwork Ecovillage, the Gambier Island sacred site that is home to the Lightwork practice.
Alison has been practicing Lightwork meditation since 2007. As a certified Lightwork teacher, she offers classes suitable to first-time meditators or anyone who has practiced other meditation styles. You can attend her classes in beautiful Nelson, BC, or by phone or Skype.

She has a Masters in Strategic Leadership Toward Sustainability which she applies in collaborative projects seeking solutions for climate change.
Julia offers meditation and consulting services for organizations and individuals.
She started her conscious spiritual journey in her mid-twenties but it wasn’t until she came across Lightwork in 2002 that she found a meditation practice that really worked for her.
Julia completed Lightwork’s seven levels of training in 2010. She has been joyfully teaching meditation classes and offering private energy readings since then.
She was previously the Program Director at Hollyhock (Canada’s leading educational retreat centre) and is now a self-employed bookkeeper.
Julia received a Bachelor of Business Administration from Simon Fraser University in 1994. She received a permaculture design certificate in 2000.
Julia started taking Lightwork classes by phone from Winnipeg in 2004. The classes rocked her world so thoroughly she moved to Vancouver to continue her meditation studies, eventually graduating from Lightwork's most advanced program, 'Level 7: The Apprenticeship' in 2012.
Her move to the West Coast allowed her to become involved in the Lightwork Ecovillage, where she continues to deepen her meditation practice and learn life lessons (like...you really can grow kale year round!).
Julia is a certified Lightwork Teacher. She offers Lightwork Level 1 and Level 2 classes for beginners, as well as private energy reading sessions.
She brings creativity to the Lightwork administration team, and manages two annual meditation retreats: the summer '9-Day Dharma Healing', and 'Winter Light Week'.
She has an intuitive and studied understanding of all things green, arising from her work in therapeutic gardening at BC Children's Hospital and other locations around Vancouver.
When Cathy signed up for her first Lightwork class, she entered brand new territory. Coming from a scientific background, meditation was well outside her normal repertoire but she felt compelled to try it.
Without even being able to describe how, she shifted perceptions in all parts of her life and began making decisions that decreased stress. Encouraged, she thought she would keep meditating until it no longer felt like a fit. That day never came. She’s now a committed Lightwork practitioner and teacher.
Cathy offers Lightwork Level 1, Level 2, private classes and energy reading-healings. She blends her passions for writing, teaching and meditation by offering creative writing workshops for children and adults.
Darci discovered Lightwork meditation in her last month of nursing school. She realized she wanted a totally new way of coping with stress.
So she turned down a fancy job in California with a big signing bonus and season’s tickets to her favourite football team. Instead she registered for Lightwork's beginners class and never looked back.
Throughout her healing journey Darci has witnessed how meditation has the power to shift tough situations and heal what needs healing.
Her favorite thing about being a Lightwork teacher is the simplicity and presence of being in the moment. The big and small of the universe come into focus and make room for significant awareness and healing.
Darci graduated from the Lightwork Apprenticeship program in March 2014. She offers energy reading sessions and meditation classes in a loving, supportive environment.

Elizabeth decided to give Lightwork a try in 2010, after observing a friend's Lightwork journey. Deciding it was a fit, she took classes from her hometown of Victoria by phone for six years. She then packed up and moved to Vancouver to continue her studies, completing Lightwork's Level 6 Teacher Training Program in 2017.
Meditation has helped Elizabeth let go of fears and embrace all aspects of herself. She's excited that teaching now gives her the chance to offer the Lightwork techniques to other people.
Prior to Lightwork, Elizabeth completed a B.A. in anthropology, and certifications in community counselling and permaculture. Music has always been an important part of her life. She enjoys singing opera and jazz, and offering vocal improv classes.
