Indigo and Crystal Children

Indigo, Crystal and
Rainbow Children

Indigo Children are head strong and heart smart. They do not want to do it your way, and often have creative or non-
conformist ways of doing things. Many are labeled ADD/ ADHD because of their tendency for activity, inattention and
doing things fast. Some have past life recall, trouble sleeping, night terrors, and can “see” or hear things at home especially at
night. They have extreme emotional, physical, and spiritual sensitivities that make them “fussy” eaters, “different” from
other kids in their class and avoidant of loud noise, people’s energy, and touch sensitive.

Some days they will be happy, and then, after being around other children, they can have a huge emotional meltdown,
angry outburst, or tantrum. Many Indigos suffer from depression, anxiety, hyperactivity or insomnia because of their
extreme sensitivities and inability to process the energy in their body which fluctuates even when they are staying away
from the foods (wheat products, sugar, excessive dairy, and fruit juice), chemicals and fluorescent lights that they cannot
tolerate.

Their interior world is frustrating since they are such wise souls in such young bodies and cannot make all the choices they
want to in a day; they would rather balk at the system then follow it. Many times an Indigo will not want to eat very
much, will stay up until past even your bedtime, and will not want to be told anything different by you or anyone else.
They are fast learners when they are interested in the subject matter, and will zone out or refuse to learn about anything
they are not interested in.

They cannot tolerate lies, authoritarian rules, or inauthenticity. Many have been labeled with Learning Disorders from the
school they are in due to their “poor” reading skills, right brained dominant learning style or “delayed” speech. Truth be
told, they would rather use their intuitive or telepathic abilities then talk, and already know what you are going to say
before you say it.

If this all sounds daunting and negative, take heart. Along with their extreme sensitivities come a host of beautiful and
world changing qualities. Your Indigo is probably spiritually blessed with psychic gifts and good fortune of being able to see
Angels, deceased loved ones, fairies or connect to the heart of animals and people. If someone is hurt or left out, this child
will be the first to be able to comfort or make a new friend.

Their brilliance will probably not shine through their report card, but will rather be through the light emerging from their
eyes, smile or infectious laugh. Since their DNA is actually a little different than the normal child, their charkas are actually
spinning at a faster rate; hence they have a higher vibrational frequency. If they seem to be hyperactive or moving fast, it is
because quite literally, THEY ARE. Their third eye is highly developed which gives their aura the Indigo hue.

They are the children “of the blue ray” and have the spiritual gifts to prove it. Their life purpose is to bring new
understanding and ways of being to the Planet and will tear down anything that stands in their way. It is this willful and
purposeful personality that our planet so desperately needs. They have come to change society, and they will if we can listen
to them, help care for them and take their lead.

Doreen Virtue has written a wonderful book titled “The Care and Feeding of Indigo Children”. Here are some tips to help
your Indigo child (and yourself).

Nutritionally

Most Indigos are actually allergic to many of the foods they eat such as wheat, dairy, sugar, and food dye/additives. Have
your child tested by an allergist to find out what foods need to be eliminated from their diet. Try to buy organic produce and
meats when possible and limit intake of sodas (with sugar or any other artificial sweeteners) and fruit juice unless freshly
squeezed at home. Many children have dips in their blood sugar levels which can be helped by eating mini protein based
meals throughout the day, avoiding cakes, cookies, breads, and simple carbohydrates that give them a quick energy high
followed by a low shortly after.

Biochemically

Many Indigos are lacking in trace minerals, magnesium, B6, C, Folic Acid, and Zinc. Depletion of these substances has been
linked scientifically to inattention, mood swings, depression and even impulsive behavior. Find a health care practitioner,
Naturopath, or Kinesthesiologist who can evaluate whether your child has an imbalance or is lacking in trace minerals,
vitamins or enzymes. Also try to use natural cleaning products in your home that are purchased from health food store.
Many children are allergic to the chemicals and fragrances added to shampoo, toothpaste, laundry detergent and soap. Avoid
Sodium Lauryl Sulfate when possible.

Environmentally

Since our environment is so full of stimulating media, electronic appliances and fluorescent lighting which they are sensitive
to, limit the number of hours of exposure. Also, try to make your child’s bedroom free of these electrical appliances. Do not
keep electrical appliances near the bed. (Even clocks with batteries or wires can be disruptive for a good night’s sleep.) Put a
broad- leafed plant (like Pathos) by their bedside. The plant supplies oxygen and clears your child’s energy while sleeping.
Action figures on their shelves, bright colors, mirrors and busy patterned linens actually stimulate their systems. Put toys
away in closet or toy chest, decorate their room in a non-primary color which muted and relaxing for them. And establish an
ongoing bedtime ritual that includes soft music, reading or time for talking with you….Listen to them. Help them process
what went on in their day and set mini goals or wishes for the next day.

Life Purpose

Most Indigo depression is linked to the general meaninglessness they feel if they are not connected to their higher purpose,
spiritual gifts, or interests. Did you ever notice that your Indigo can be inattentive some times but then can get really focused
at other times? In school they need to pay attention to things they might not be particularly interested in, but at home you
can help them spend time attending to their life purpose. Most Indigos are self directed if given the chance to be, and it is
never too early to help them get involved in the life purpose they came here for. If they are artistic, enroll them in art school
or have a fund for new art supplies that they can work towards. If your Indigo is of the Veterinarian type, find a shelter or
local animal hospital they can volunteer at. If you have an Indigo healer, help them work toward Reiki certification or be
involved at one of the many holistic centers that may be near you. Many times an older Indigo will not express interest in
college, but will have a strong desire to go to a professional or trade school which specializes in their talent. Forget the old
paradigm of schooling and help them further their knowledge and interest with a trade school in their area of expertise.
Apprenticeship, will also become more popular again as we and the Indigos revamp the entire educational system so that
our working and our learning is connected to our life passions, rather than being dictated by the old “9-5” paradigm ways.

Energy and Feelings

Many spend a high percentage of their time sitting in school, or at home in front of television, video games or computer.
These kids need rigorous physical exercise, nature and fresh air to balance their body and mind. Make outdoor activities part
of your weekend family plans and also their daily weekday routine. Encourage them to meditate, practice Yoga, karate, or
team sports which are wonderful ways for them to vent extra energy and feel great. Indigos need the same wellness services
or hands on healing that adults do. Find a Reiki practitioner, wholistic psychotherapist, chiropractor, or acupuncturist who
works with children, or use your own angels and guides to help clear your child’s charkas. Make time during the evening
hours to listen to them and help them clear, and process their energy and feelings. If they do not want to talk with you,
encourage them to write in a journal or speak with someone who understands Indigos so they do not feel so alone and
“different”.

As time goes on most Indigos will grow into their gifts and distinct role in the fabric of the unfolding human evolution and
consciousness, and in the mean time…..Remember that they are kids that need our love, acceptance, patience and FUN.
They remind us to think outside the box, see our own limitations and will force us to grow by being a mirror for us to face
our own issues and reevaluate some of our outdated parenting and teaching skills.

Who are the Rainbow Children?

Who are the Rainbow Children? The angels say that they are just beginning to show up on this planet. The Rainbows who
are here now are the "scouts" who initially show up before the larger influx of the population. There were scout Indigo's who
were born well before the 1970's and scout Crystal's who arrived prior to the 1990's.

The Rainbow Children are perfectly balanced in their male and female energies. They are confident without aggressiveness;
they are intuitive and psychic without effort; they are magical and can bend time, become invisible, and go without sleep
and food. The Crystal Children's sensitivities make them vulnerable to allergies and rashes. The angels say that the Rainbow
Children will have overcome this aspect, and will be able to live in the world, without being swayed by the world. In other
words, the Rainbows will be able to walk in the eye of the hurricane and not be negatively affected by harsh energies, while
still retaining their ultra-sensitivity.

The larger population of Rainbow Children are waiting until the Crystal Children reach childbearing age. The Crystal
Children will largely be the parents of the Rainbow Children. For now, they are being born to older scout Crystal Children
and to Lightworker and Indigo parents who are balanced and at peace.

Rainbow Children have no karma, so they have no need to choose chaotic childhoods for spiritual growth.

The Rainbow Children are the original inhabitants of your planet. They are the sparks of DNA that originally were the
impulse of human life on Earth.
