What is an Indigo?

The Indigo children and adults are born wearing their

God-given gifts on their sleeves. Many of them are natural born philosophers who think about the meaning of life

and how to save the planet.

They are inherently gifted scientists, inventors,

and artists. Indigo people have the natural ability

to see and speak the truth.

They are here to help change systems and beliefs

that are not useful to human existence. They are wise and honest

and need to be acknowledged on all levels.

As a summary, here are the ten attributes that best

describe this new kind of child, the Indigo Child.

• They come into the world with a feeling of royalty (and often act like it)
• They have a feeling of "deserving to be here," and are surprised when others don't share that.
• Self-worth is not a big issue. They often tell the parents "who they are."
• They have difficulty with absolute authority (authority without explanation or choice).
• They simply will not do certain things; for example, waiting in line is difficult for them.
• They get frustrated with systems that are ritually oriented and don't require creative thought.
• They often see better ways of doing things, both at home and in school, which makes them seem like "system busters" (nonconforming to any system).
• They seem antisocial unless they are with their own kind. If there are no others of like consciousness around them, they often turn inward, feeling like no other human understands them. School is often extremely difficult for them socially.
• They will not respond to "guilt" discipline ("Wait till your father gets home and finds out what you did").
• They are not shy in letting you know what they need.

Author, "The Care and Feeding of Indigo Children"

and the soon to be released, "The Crystal
Children" (Hay House, Spring 2003)    

The first thing most people notice about Crystal Children

is their eyes  large, penetrating, and wise beyond their years.  Their eyes lock on and hypnotize you, while you realize your soul is being laid bare for the child to see. 

     Perhaps you've noticed this special new "breed"

of children rapidly populating our planet.  They are happy, delightful, and forgiving.  This generation of new light workers, roughly ages 0 through 7, are like no previous generation.  Ideal in many ways, they are the pointers for where humanity is headed . . .

and it's a good direction!

     The older children (approximately age 7 through 45), called "Indigo Children," share some characteristics with The Crystal Children.  Both generations are highly sensitive and psychic, and have important life purposes. 

The main difference is their temperament. 

Indigos have a warrior spirit, because their collective

purpose is to mash down old systems that no
longer serve us. 

They are here to quash government, educational,

and legal systems that lack integrity.  To accomplish this end, they need tempers and firey determination. 
    

Those adults who resist change and who value conformity may misunderstand the Indigos.  They are often mislabeled with the psychiatric diagnoses of Attention Deficit with Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) or Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD).  Sadly, when they are medicated, The Indigos often lose their beautiful sensitivity,

spiritual gifts, and warrior energy. 

     In contrast, The Crystal Children are blissful and even-tempered. Sure, they may have tantrums occasionally, but these children are largely forgiving and easy-going. The Crystals are the generation who benefit from the Indigos' trailblazing.  First, The Indigo Children lead with a machete, cutting down anything that lacks integrity. 

Then The Crystal Children follow the cleared path,

into a safer and more secure world.

     The terms, "Indigo" and "Crystal" were given to these two generations, because they most accurately describe their aura colors and energy patterns.  Indigo Children have a lot of indigo blue in their auras.  This is the color of the "third eye chakra," which is an energy center inside the head located between the two eyebrows.  This chakra regulates clairvoyance, or the ability to see

energy, visions, and spirits. 

     Many of the Indigo Children are clairvoyant  The Crystal Children have opalescent auras, with beautiful multi-colors in pastel hues.  This generation also shows a fascination for crystals and rocks, as you'll read in this book.

     Indigo Children can sense dishonesty, like a dog can sense fear.  Indigos know when they're being lied to, patronized, or manipulated.  And since their collective purpose is to usher us into a new world of integrity, the Indigos' inner lie-detectors are integral. As mentioned before, this warrior spirit is threatening to some adults. 

And the Indigos are unable to conform to dysfunctional situations at home, work, or school.  They don't have the ability to dissociate from their feelings and pretend like everything's okay . . .

unless they are medicated or sedated.

     Crystal Children's innate spiritual gifts are also misunderstood.
Specifically, their telepathic abilities which lead them to talk later in life.  In the new world which the Indigos are ushering in,

we will all be much more aware of our intuitive thoughts and feelings.  We won't rely so much upon the spoken or written word.

Communication will be faster, more direct, and more honest,

because it will be mind-to-mind. Already, increasing

numbers of us are getting in touch with our psychic abilities. 

Our interest in the paranormal is at an all-time high,

accompanied by books, television shows,
and movies on the topic. 

     So, it's not surprising that the generation following the

Indigos are incredibly telepathic. Many of the Crystal Children

have delayed speech patterns, and it's not uncommon for them to wait until they're 3 or 4 years old to begin speaking. 

But parents tell me they have no trouble communicating

with their silent children.  Far from it!  The parents engage

in mind-to-mind communication with their Crystal Children. 

And the Crystals use a combination of telepathy, self-fashioned

sign language, and sounds (including song)

to get their point across.

They are also quite philosophical and spiritually gifted.

And they display an unprecedented level of kindness and sensitivity to this world. Crystal Children spontaneously

hug and care for people in need.
