The Future of Indigo Children

The Future of Indigo Children

The pseudoscientific categorization of children does not stop with the Indigo children. Recently, several new categories have been proposed that offer even more options for children to be labeled as above average and gifted. These new categories include the Crystal children and the Rainbow children to name a few. These children, so named by Doreen Virtue because of the color of the aura they emit, are said to be the next generations after Indigo children. Much like the Indigos, the Crystals and Rainbows are allegedly new life energies on Earth that are here to change our global lives.

Indigo Children Come to Teach Us, and How This Will Save Us

Indigo Children Come to Teach Us, and How This Will Save Us

One central theme of the Indigo movement is the idea that the Indigo children are here to teach us a lesson. Some of these lessons are outlined through stories from Indigos and parents or grandparents of Indigos in Carroll and Tober’s 2001 follow-up book, An Indigo Celebration: More Messages, Stories, and Insights from the Indigo Children. According to several Indigo proponents, many Indigo children are “old souls,” indicating that they have experienced several lifetimes and carry with them tremendous knowledge and wisdom from these past lives. Parents who believe this is true tend to keep an open mind and report their child’s statements as true. For example, one child stated that the reflection of the sun’s rays on the water, which were called “God spots” (p. 59), were used to take people’s souls back to heaven when they die. Because the child used the phrase “back up to heaven” (p. 59), the parent unquestionably deduced that the child had knowledge regarding the existence of souls in heaven prior to a person’s birth. The child of another set of parents explained that he once ruled an entire planet, but unfortunately for him there was a large disaster (an earthquake, in this case) that caused him to suffer a traumatic impact from bumping his head on a rock. This caused his spirit to fall from his body and land inside of his Earth-mother. The parents decided it was best to keep an open mind about the story.

Other stories presented in An Indigo Celebration (2001) include teenagers, who identify themselves as Indigo children , struggling to fit in because they know they are Indigo and thus are different and isolated. A teenager reporting that he or she feels isolated, unique, and above average is not an exceptional statement—many teens feel this way. The imaginary audience and personal fable come to mind when reading these stories; both phenomena should be easily identifiable to anyone who has taken an introduction to psychology course. The imaginary audience syndrome is a common experience for teenagers—they feel that everyone is focused solely on them, and the world scrutinizes every action they make. The personal fable is related to the notion that many teens feel special and unique to the extent that the law of averages does not apply to them. This is used to explain many risk-taking behaviors by youths, even though they are aware of the potential consequences (e.g., “It won’t happen to me!”).

Furthermore, some say the Indigo children are here to save us from something or other. Most accounts are vague, alluding to a general change in our way of thinking and a passion for saving the earth and its inhabitants.

Indigo Spirit 1

The Indigo Spirit 1

The anatomy of the Indigo Spirit is by far the most complicated part of these souls. They are highly evolving human beings who have a universal knowledge of how things work and what is expected of them.
This section does not cover the total profile of the Indigo Spirit but attempts to help you find your way through the mysteries of the Indigo. The basic suggestions I make when dealing with their spiritual side is to practice: respect, understanding, patience and love.

When Indigo Children enter a class space for the first time they inspect it, not unlike other students. But the Indigo also registers in his/her soul and body the energy of the space and will let you know if they are uncomfortable in there or not. They are able to tell if something negative happened in the last class that was in the room. The best way to manage their fears or questions is to answer them as honestly and straightforward as possible.

The Indigo children is not only perceptive but intuitive enough to understand when someone has an ulterior motive. Many are gifted with the ability to "read" people. An example of the above insight involves their intuition and mutual respect: Some of my Indigo children in my poetry class asked if I was going to a school function for Seniors. End of discussion. Next evening the student who had asked the question had her feelings hurt very deeply at the event. It was not a teaching moment for me but an experience that I think she will always remember.

It is integrity that must be included in every conversation, lesson plan, note or everyday comment. The Indigo children appreciates the honor you give when teaching them with integrity.

Disciplining the Indigo Children

Disciplining the Indigo Children

Robert Gerard offers advice on how to properly discipline the Indigo children based on what he calls “loving discipline” (Gerard 1999). Loving discipline consists of informing the child of the purpose and course of discipline using simple explanations, avoiding reactions, orders, and verbal and physical abuse, following through with your punishment, using a time-out procedure, dealing with discipline in the moment—not delaying punishment—and discussing the situation when it is over.

Cathy Patterson (1999) gives advice on setting boundaries and guidelines to help raise an Indigo children. These guidelines include giving the child choices, using brief explanations, giving only one direction at a time, using time-outs for discipline, using a chart to track positive behaviors with stickers, and setting a regular and consistent routine.

In considering the disciplinary strategies advised by Patterson and Gerard, it appears that their advice is the same offered by one of the behavioral pioneers in psychology, Montrose M. Wolf. Wolf, responsible for the creation of time-out, developed these and similar recommendations in the early 1960s (Risley 2005), roughly forty years before Patterson and Gerard offered their pearls of wisdom. Is it amazing that these techniques have been around and working pre-Indigo? If the Indigo children are different from non-Indigos and require special instructions on discipline, then why are the disciplinary suggestions the same as those applied to “normal” children? These “special” recommendations on disciplining Indigo children are not unique to this population; they are universal and highly researched in the psychological community.

The Indigo Body

The Indigo Body
The Indigo Body is like any other human body. However what differentiates the Indigo children from other souls are their eyes and overall neurological makeup. Shakespeare wrote that, "the eyes are the windows of the soul", which is very true for Indigo children.

Furthermore, among many Indigos there is a large population of them diagnosed with Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) or Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD). However one should realize that not all Indigos are ADD/ADHD nor all those diagnosed with ADD/ADHD considered Indigos. The Indigo children learns with their whole body. Many Indigos are tactile learners and they process energy levels and new information through their hands. Often their body movements give them away; hands on eveyrthing, constantly touching and feeling. The tactile stimulation also engages the other modes of learning in auditory and visual areas of the brain.

As the teacher or parent, allow the Indigo to move around, touch, feel squeeze objects. Also, remind the Indigo Children of appropriate boundaries, theirs and others. Make available items for them to touch, such as stuffed animals, puzzles, squeeze balls, etc. I have a small supply of puzzles that require problem-solving and tactile movement and designed for one person only, stocked in my classroom. MindWareonline.com has a great selection of puzzles for the classroom that will keep their busy hands occupied. The high energy level in an Indigo body has to move on or become engaged in some activity.

Maintaining the health of the Indigo children body is a major concern for all involved. There is western medicine, western foods and nutritional standards versus eastern medicine which is replete with many alternatives and seemingly cultural differences.
In the western medicine scenario, the Indigo is often diagnosed through a battery of tests, given a prescribed medication and told to eat a healthy diet. More medicine is then prescribed. Meanwhile the Indigo body is getting run down, and this once beautiful soul is sick and very depressed. Yet western medicine is excellent for treating major issues in the body like heart failure, cancer and pneumonia. But the issues for the Indigo body are different.

These Indigo children convert energy from food very fast. They can consume large amounts of junk food that is highly processed, high fat levels, high sugar levels and still appear healthy. The same old tune is sung here: a diet consisting of fruits, vegetables, whole grain and very little meat would actually help the Indigo maintain a healthy metabolism.

A usage of a new "superfood", Klamath Lake: Blue Green Algae has shown to make dramatic health changes for users. It is pure brain food. It is a natural food harvested from Klamath Lake in Oregon. It does not contain preservatives, artificial dyes or flavor modifiers. What it does contain is protein and carbohydrates that work to stabilize the user's blood sugar levels, also free from toxins and supplies beta-carotene and vitamin B12.

A recognized therapy is Reiki (Ray-key), a natural healing energy, channeled into the person through a Reiki practitioner or Reiki Master. What Reiki does is help balance the chakras of the person. Chakras are the wheels of energy located in every person. If a chakra is blocked then the energy will not come through and also help the other chakras. A reiki session will help to release the block in the chakra and is non-invasive, gentle and often soothing for the Indigo body and spirit. generation of Indigo Children.

The Gifts of the Indigo Age

The Gifts of the Indigo Age

THE AGE OF HEALING, HARMONY AND CONSCIOUSNESS

I believe that Indigo Chidren is within all of us. We are now entering into a new age of consciousness, healing and harmony.

We have searched for satisfaction in the material realms. Only to be left feeling empty and frustrated.

We set our goals on achieving all this "outward success" without paying much attention to our inner needs and longings.

With hard work and determination, we achieved some of the goals we had set for ourselves. Some of the goals we did not manage to accomplish. We bought our dream car ,our dream home and got the promotion we were after. Only to discover that the job was terribly stressful, the thrill of driving the fast car, had worn off. No matter how much "stuff" we kept buying, we just could not keep up with the latest and fanciest gadget that the advances in technology brought our way. This left us feeling empty and frustrated.

We are seeing more and more people turning inwards to find healing, balance and the answers to life’s questions. It is time to live our lives as creative, empowered individual’s who are in tune with our divine nature. It is time for every one of us to take responsibility for caring for planet earth, for each another and to realize we are all part of the same whole!

This is the tremendous gift of the Indigo age!

Indigo children started to incarnate on the planet after World War 2.

This was the first wave of indigo children. They were the group of indigo souls who set the foundation for the global shift we are now experiencing.

Indigo’s incarnated among the "babyboomer" generation of the 50’s and were born to the "flower children" of the 60’s. The greatest arrival of Indigo's on planet earth started in the 70’s and continued until the early 2000’s. At this point the Indigo Children were joined by the Crystal Children.

The Indigo Children generation is known as the " Warrior " generation. They will challenge all old and out-of-date systems that no longer nourish the soul and allow the spirit free expression.

The term "Indigo’ was first brought into awareness by a book written by Jan Tober and Lee Carol entitled "Indigo Children published in 1992. The adjective, "indigo" is used as this relates to the color found in the children’s aura’s. Indigo colored aura’s usually indicate an advanced soul and part of their soul purpose will be as a healer or teacher.

The Indigo Children generation is here to bring in the new age of peace. They will break down the old systems with their warrior spirit, their wisdom and their intuitive, creative ways.

It is our responsibility as adults, to care for and nurture these sensitive souls. As it is our responsibility to nurture our spirits and soul mission. It is important that we be good role models for the next generation and live our lives fully and abundantly!

This is a time for celebration and healing as we embrace all the gifts of The Indigo Age.

Indigo Children: Fact or Fiction?

Indigo Children: Fact or Fiction?

The new age children have been variously described of late as Indigos (because of the supposed color of their auras), Star Kids (because of their purported origination from other worlds), Crystals (because some say they are highly developed), and so forth. None of these claims hold up to the degree that they are made when subjected to objective research, whether via scientific bservation or by the study of mystical/esoteric traditions or through a summary of visionary revelations.

Professionals in the field of child development and education, parents, even the Indigo children themselves, are having problems with the idea that certain character traits are the sole province of special youngsters when, in fact, the vast majority of today's children match those same traits – without evidencing anything like a purple aura, or being a hybrid from another planet, or possessing "god-like" wisdom. Being supersensitive, confident, highly intelligent, unusually creative, nonconformist, extraordinarily psychic and spiritually aware, impatient, empathic, able to heal or aid others in significant ways, abstracting at young ages, spatial learners, great at problem-solving yet difficult to parent or educate – these characteristics and many more are typical to the broad span of today's youth worldwide and has been since around 1982.

Present-day school systems were not designed to educate these indigo children, nor are teachers prepared to handle their "differences." Chief among these "differences" is the surprising array of what some people call "learning disorders." The therapeutic crowd, having finally caught on that labels don't work, simply refers to such youngsters as "quirky kids" with "quirks." Annimac (an Australian life coach and futurist) noted that these children actually "multi-code" from "multi-channels." The labeling fad so popular now began in the late seventies when several psychics started talking about the numbers of children they saw who had purple auras. They named them "Indigos." book, The Indigo Children: The New Kids Have Arrived (Hay House, Carlsbad, CA).
Their success spawned a cottage-industry of books, tapes, toys, clothes, and gadgets, which ballooned out-of-portion by media hype used to promote the idea of "world indigo day" and "indigo revolution" so indigo films would sell. This happened to me with my book Beyond the Indigo Children (Inner Traditions/Bear, Rochester, VT), and with Edgar Cayce on the Indigo Children by Peggy Day and Susan Gale – when it is well-known that Cayce never said a thing about "indigos."

What was widespread were the traits and characteristics they saw, not the aura color of indigo. The result was an incomplete model that confuses even the most sincere.
More research is needed – much more. Terming the latest in scientific findings as proof that "Indigos" have arrived is an exaggeration of truth, not an honoring of it. What served initially
to alert the general population about the very real fact that today's children are indeed different, is now a hindrance. Actually, Edgar Cayce's readings are a good place to start a brief exploration of esoteric wisdoms. Mystical traditions (loosely referred to as "mystery school teachings"), mention the altering of the lifestream whereby new "waves" of souls can come forth. The term "root race" is an old one, going back to ancient Vedic teachings, and refers to species-wide, evolutionary mutations, our gene pool as humans. . . not to genetic subgroups. These traditions have it that there are seven major root races in God's Plan to perfect human form on Earth, and that each advancement occurs during major cyclic changes in the earthplane. The Fifth Root Race, the one over-spreading the globe now, is associated with the vibratory frequency of blue (in these teachings, indigo children is associated with the Sixth Root Race).

Each calendar-keeping measure or legendary prediction adhered to by native peoples, including Mayan Calendar interpretations, indicates that the Fifth World (fifth cosmic cycle) is well underway and that the human species not only is moving into its fifth "wave" of existence – but is accelerating or ascending into higher and more refined aspects of this wave. According to the research I have done, Fifth Root Race types of people started showing up during the time of
began (a major cycle in fulfillment) True Indigo Children or Sixth Root Race types piggy-backed the Blues in the 1800s and have been entering the earthplane ever since – in enough numbers to spice the mix – but not in the massive numbers of births that some people claim (give them sense, all seven root races, perhaps others besides, have intermingled the cyclic time periods of great change on Earth. Each root race, as tradition has it, changes the body type, intelligence level, spiritual awareness, and creative capacity present in the human family. Our new Indigo children, irrespective of aura colors or what they seem representative of, are challenging us in ways we've never been challenged before.

Toss the labels. Our kids don't need them. What they need are guidance, discipline, lots of love, and parents wise enough to listen before assuming anything.... are Indigo Children a fact?
