What is an Indigo child?
The name Indigo child comes from the observation that a new type of children have been being born on Earth. These children generally have indigo colored auras indicating that the 6th chakra, associated with the pineal gland in the brain, is very active in these children. Many of the indigos are no longer children. They have been incarnating on Earth since about the turn of the 20th century. Nikola Tesla was a very early indigo. The indigos started incarnating in larger numbers in the 70’s, 80’s and 90’s, and this is when the term “Indigo Child” was coined. The Indigos have strong telepathic and empathic abilities. They may have difficulties socializing, but usually can develop a social niche as they get older because they are very intelligent. The indigos are very creative and are usually very gifted in science, art, or music. They learn very quickly, and probably have several specific subjects or hobbies that they are very good at. As they mature, they may become very interested in Spirituality, paranormal subjects, extraterrestrials and Angels.
The Indigos’ purpose on Earth is to help with the collapse of the Old World and to become leaders in the New World. The Indigos are here to bring about change in the corrupt and dysfunctional institutions of our society. Unlike the older generations, many of whom have given up their hopes of bringing about change as they have aged and become busy with families and careers, the Indigos will not give up. The Indigos feel like they are called to a higher purpose. Just going to work and raising children in this world will seem too mundane to the Indigos. The Indigos understand in the core of their being that people can no longer sit on the sidelines and expect everything to be okay.
When the 6th chakra is open, we can clearly see causes and their effects. Therefore, to the Indigos it is obvious that we need to care for our environment and put an end to wars. The Indigos are good at judging if someone is being honest or is lying. The Indigos have a reputation for being disrespectful towards authority. This is because the Indigos understand that our society's institutions are perpetuating poverty and war and do not encourage free thinking and creativity. The Indigos actually have deep respect for people who "get it" or who are authentically living in service of creating a better world. What the Indigos do not have respect for is people pretend like everything is okay with the world, and consider themselves to be authorities, and try to put the Indigos in the same small box that they have put themselves in to. The Indigos never will fit in to a box. So when someone attempts to shut them in, it may be very painful to the Indigos and feel as if they are being attacked, and thus they might act out of disrespect, when what they are really doing is trying to maintain their integrity and defend their own essence. To the Indigos there are no authorities. There are leaders and mentors, but the Indigos know that everyone ought to have an equal say.
The Indigos usually face many difficult challenges in their lives, since they find themselves immersed in the Old World which they are really not a part of. But they are here to be catalysts of transformation and to help others make the shift. They must participate in the Old World in the younger years of their lives so that as they make the shift themselves into the New Consciousness, they can help others to do the same.
Many children diagnosed with Attention Deficit Disorder are Indigos. There is really no disorder in these children. These children are extremely intelligent and learn very quickly. They often have trouble in school, since they are smarter than most of their teachers and parents, and with the 6th chakra open, they have clear sight, and can clearly see that the world’s current educational and corporate structures limit people’s freedoms, discredit their individual creativity, harm the planet, and create great inequality. These Social structures are not based on love and cooperation or being of service to creating a better world, but are based on fear of survival, and competition to maximize personal profit. The Indigos really crave love and attention. They often have trouble coping with institutions that are cold and competitive and often develop attention and behavioral problems in school because of this. I strongly recommend that parents of Indigo children do not treat their kids with pharmaceutical medication. These medications serve to numb their clear sight. It is exactly like an alcoholic who uses the drink to numb himself to the pains that he feels. When we give medication to our children, it is to numb their sensitivity, rather than to address the core issues.
Many teachers and psychiatrists do not believe that the system is the problem. They probably have become successful in the current system, and to them everything seems like roses. Many of these people have been taught to trust authority, and they have risen in the social ladder and carved themselves a niche in life by doing what they were told. They will not easily change their beliefs. To the Indigos it is obvious. Instead of giving these kids pharmaceuticals, I find that Indigos respond very well to being listened to. They can receive a lot of healing just from open ears and an open mind. Also providing them with creative projects that are both fun and challenging will really help. Ask your Indigo child what kind of creative projects they would enjoy. Ask them what they can do to make the world a better place. Even if they are very young, there are things they can do. Have your Indigo child really do some brainstorming themselves. If possible, I would also recommend alternative schooling for them or alternative courses, if you can find a school or courses that allow their individual creativity to blossom.
Exercise is also of great importance to the Indigos. Partly because of their sensitivity, partly because they have to cope in a world that seems backwards to them, the Indigos are very prone to mood swings. In the worst cases, troubled Indigos may turn to violence or hard drugs, and may become suicidal or may harm themselves. In moderate cases, Indigos may experience emotions such as depression, aggression, anger, apathy, and lethargy and may turn to milder drugs such as alcohol and marijuana or may distract their minds with things such as video games. Doing sports, martial arts, dancing, and other activities that involve physical movement or being outside in nature will release positive hormones in your bodies that make you happier, more astute, and less aggressive. Getting physical exercise is very important for everyone, not just Indigos, especially since most of us spend the majority of our time inside and not moving much.
Diet is also extremely important. The food in most school cafeterias is high in saturated fats and carbohydrates, but is deficient in vitamins and nutrients. Saturated fats and carbohydrates are addictive but do not provide good nutrition. It is really hard for me personally to get my mind around the fact that we are professing to educate our children at school, yet we feed them the lowest quality of food there. That is not smart. In addition to bad food found in school lunches, public schools are also usually full of pop machines. Most types of soda pops, including all those by the Pepsi and Coke companies, contain high fructose corn syrup which is a highly processed kind of sugar, is linked to obesity, and is plain not good for your bodies. Most of these soda pops are also high in acid. A lot of people have too high of acidity in their diets. Your body relies on a balanced ph level in order to function well. Many types of vegetables, herbal teas, and grains will help balance your ph level. I highly recommend eating organic foods as much as possible, since chemical fertilizers and pesticides are toxic and therefore by eating foods that have been treated with these, we are ingesting toxins. There is much more to say about diet, and about all these subjects, but I offer this as an introduction.
If you are an Indigo, I encourage you to take responsibility for your own healing. You will not make very much headway in life by blaming "the system" or showing disrespect for authorities, even if they are clueless. If you can learn to be the bigger person, learn to care for your health, seek out positives environments that are empowering to gifted and sensitive people, and find a way, no matter how big or how small, to make this world a better place, then you will become a profound person, and your light will shine brightly and you will be a witness to the truth and those around you won't be able to help but notice. This is how we change the world. We must learn to heal ourselves and then we will have strength to heal the planet.
If you are a parent of an Indigo, I hope you are inspired by this writing. The greatest gift you can give is the gift of life. Think about what you can give your children, and what they can teach you in return. I find a lot of people are somewhat jealous by just how intelligent the young people are these days. Some people feel not so worthy when they see someone who is 22 and has learned what it took them 50 years to learn. We are moving in to a New Age. Right-brained intuition and synthesis are becoming just as important as left-brained deduction and logic. We are reaching a state of balance. Learn to feel with your heart, instead of judge with your mind. Being as smart as these young kids is as easy as learning to be a kid again. Learn to flow with life. Learn to have fun and laugh. Believe that your dreams are still possible. Every person is in fact an Indigo. The term "Indigo" just means that their sixth chakra is highly active. But every person moves through the different chakras throughout their day, and at one time one chakra may be active, and at another time, another chakra may be active. As we heal ourselves, Indigos and non-Indigos alike, all of our chakras become more active and we become balanced, intelligent, loving, and creative individuals. You have an
What is a Crystal child?
Crystal children are the next generation after the Indigos. They started incarnating in larger numbers in the mid 90’s. The Crystal children get their name from their crystalline, shiny white aura, which is higher consciousness emanating from their heart center and from throughout their auras. These kids are born enlightened and are the embodiment of love. Many Crystals reach mental maturity at a very young age, while they are still in grade school or middle school and become very clear about their life’s purpose while they are still children. They may remember their past lives very clearly, and often these past lives are on other planets or in the Angelic realms. The Crystal children are born with the New Consciousness activated and do not need to go through any activations or intense healings like the Indigos and other people do. They are here to just live in the New World, to embody the New World, and to help balance the angst of the Indigos. Children like this could not incarnate often until very recently because there was too much darkness in the world. But thanks to the progress the world has made toward equality, and thanks to the Indigos rocking the boat, the Crystals began to incarnate in large numbers in the 1990's. Mother Mary and Mother Teresa are two examples of early Crystals.
The Crystal children are here to seal the deal. The very fact that they are now incarnating guarantees that Earth has made it out of the darkness and is moving in to a Golden Age. The Crystals would not be able to incarnate in large numbers into the Darkness. The Crystal children are also highly telepathic and empathic. They are here to be teachers to the adults, and one of their purposes is to dispel the myth that psychic abilities don’t exist. There will come a point when these children all rise up and come out of the closet to the adults about their psychic gifts. The Indigos will need to be a support system when this happens, as many Indigos are now stepping in to adult roles. The Crystal children are here to lead by example. Their profound love for all people will make obvious the need to teach love, cooperation, ethics, and joy in addition to reading, writing, and arithmetic.
Whereas the Indigos often incarnate into difficult and dark situations so that they can be catalysts for transformation and transmutation, the Crystal children incarnate into more loving environments so that they may receive the nurturing necessary to maintain their very high vibration. The Crystal children may be Spiritual mentors to their parents and help their parents to awaken, or they may have parents who are already awake. The Crystal children are very mature souls and often know what is best for their own evolution and for their own life paths. They are still children though, and their parents can grant them greater degrees of freedom as long as they are cautious and understand that sometimes they still do need the guidance of their parents. The Crystal children can very easily learn to be channels for the Angels and can learn to be telepathic.
Like I said, many of the Crystal children are incarnating from other planets and other places in the universe. They usually come from places of a very high vibration where there is no such thing as violence, hate, family strife, rape, poverty, or war. Many Crystal children are Angels that incarnated in human form. They will probably have the greatest memories of their previous lifetimes when they are between 3 and 5 years old. I encourage parents to write in a journal any memories of past lives these young children have. As they grow older, these journal entries can be great resources for their awakening and remembering. The Crystal children have to incarnate in to harmonious environments and be kept somewhat insulated from the troubles of the world. This is so they can keep their higher vibration without descending into negativity when they are young.
I would also recommend alternative schooling for the Crystals. Public schools will probably not be as traumatic for the Crystals as for the Indigos. The Crystals will find kindred Spirits with whom to associate, and will participate in school with a detached point of view. However, in a school environment more geared for the New Consciousness, the Crystals will learn quicker and will feel very content in these situations.
All of us, as we grow Spiritually and reach a higher consciousness, we become like the Crystals. Our auras begin to glow bright white and our heart center becomes a pearly white ball of light. White is the color of higher consciousness, because white contains every color. As the Indigos heal themselves, they will also become Crystals, and will seek out like-minded friends and situations where they are loved and supported for their gifts. They will not want to participate in the darker environments they have been in. But we all have work to do, bringing love and a new way of living to Planet Earth. The majority of people on Planet Earth have chosen to move in to higher consciousness, to adopt peace, love, and equal rights as their creed. They are beautiful creations and have wonderful desires and dreams deep within them. Being in the dark just means that you have lost your way. Often it is out of fear for survival that people must abide by the status quo. It does not mean that they are bad. Crystals, Indigos, lightworkers, and people of higher consciousness need to be here to teach the New Consciousness. As Earth, and the peoples of Earth move deeper to love and light, we will be called to play greater roles that will amaze us and fill us with bliss.
