The Indigo/Crystal phenomenon is the next step in our Evolution as a Human species. We are all, in some way, becoming more like the Indigo and Crystal people. They are here to show us the way, and so the information can be applied more generally to all of us as we make the Transition to the next stage of our Growth and Evolution
The term 'Indigo Child' comes from Psychic and Synesthesiac Nancy Ann Tappe - who classified people's personalities according to the Hue of their Auras

Usually each Universal Age is accompanied by a preponderance of people with that life colour. For instance now most adults are either Blue or Violet, the two colours with the attributes most needed in this the Violet Age of Transition. During the Indigo Age, Indigo colours will be the norm

The Indigo phenomenon has been recognized as one of the most exciting changes in human nature ever documented in society

It is said that Indigo Children have been incarnated on Earth for the last 100 years. Early ones - were the 'Pioneers & Wayshowers'. After world war two, a significant number were born - The Indigo Adults of Today. In 1970 a major wave of Indigo's were born - a whole generation of Indigo's are now in their late 20's and early 30's and about to take their place as leaders in the world

Indigo's continued to be born until the year 2000 with increasing abilities & degrees of Technological & Creative sophistication

Learning about Indigo Children will improve our ability to work with children. It will also help us to better understand the New Energy coming into the Earth, for the Indigos will bring in the New Energy and help us learn to live with each other in greater Harmony. They are here to Enlighten the world and bring us into Ascension whether we are ready or not

Brian* has trouble in school. He doesn't like to follow directions and he refuses to do the classwork if he can't see the point of it. Although his grades are low, his parents know he is gifted and talented. At home he will work on his model rockets for hours at a stretch. Despite this, he has been labeled with Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD). When Brian's classmates call him names, he cries. He feels persecuted and vows to get back at them one day. Sometimes he can see coloured light (Auras)around his friends and occasionally he sees Angels and can hear them talking to him (Psychic). He knows immediately when his mother isn't feeling well, and when he puts his hands on her back she feels better(Healing Power). He is very disturbed by the problems in the world like homelessness and the devastation of the rain forests and he wants to solve these problems and improve the world. Brian is an Indigo Child

These Children of the Millennium are sensitive, gifted souls with an Evolved Consciousness. The Indigo Children are the ones who have come to raise the vibration of our planet. They are the Primary ones who will bring us the Enlightenment to Ascend. They are our bridge to the future and to usher us into a New World of Integrity

As small children, Indigo's are easy to recognize by their unusually large, clear eyes

They have a feeling of 'belonging here and to be deserving of being here,' and are surprised when others don't share that. Self-worth is not a big issue. Have an obvious sense of self. They often tell the parents 'who they are'. They have a strong self-esteem, connection to source

Indigo's are extremely bright & precocious children, with an amazing memory and a strong desire to live instinctively. Can come across as 'wise beyond their years' and are talented daydreamers and visionaries. They develop abstract thinking very young and are gifted and / or talented or highly intelligent

Indigos have come into this world with difficult challenges to overcome. Their extreme levels of sensitivity are hard to understand and appreciate by parents who don't share this trait. Their 'warrior spirit' could be threatening to some adults. They are unable to conform to dysfuncional situations at home / school or work. They don't have the ability to dissolve from their feelings and pretend like

The Indigo child is a child who displays a new and unusual set of Psychological attributes, revealing a pattern of behaviour generally undocumented before. This pattern has singularly unique factors that call for parents and teachers to change their treatment and upbringing of these kids to assist them in achieving balance and harmony in their lives, and to help them avoid frustration

Many Indigos are warriors. They were sent here from heaven to help Earth rid itself of dishonesty and a lack of integrity. These kids won't succumb to apathy or social intimidation, because they have a job to do. However their inherent warrior characteristics may be displayed as aggessiveness

Their nonconformity to systems and to discipline will make it difficult to get through their childhood years and perhaps even their adult years. Some Indigos may have extreme rage that needs a safe acceptable outlet and counseling. Some Indigos may experience existential depression at young ages, if they do not remember why they are here or have any feeling that they can help to improve the world

Your role as a parent, is to help your children channel that warrior nature into socially helpful behaviours. Teach them how to break down systems without being self-destructive

Being an Indigo won't be easy for any of them, but it foretells a mission. The Indigo Children are the ones who have come to raise the vibration of our planet. These are the primary ones who will bring us the Enlightenment to Ascend

These are the children who are often rebellious to orders, direction or absolute authority (authority without explanation or choice) - nonconformist. They are very impatient and simply will not do certain things; for example, waiting in line is difficult for them

Are often identified or suspected of having ADD or ADHD, but can focus when they want to . They are very creative and can get frustrated with systems that are ritually oriented and don't require creative thought. They often seen better ways of doing things,both at home and in school, which makes them seem like 'system busters'
(nonconforming to any system). They are also not shy in letting you know what they need

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. Often express anger outwardly rather than inwardly and may have trouble with rage. 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')

Indigos can sense dishonesty. They know when they are being lied to / patronized or manipulated

Indigos are often perfectionists and can be very hard on themselves. They can beat themselves up for every perceived infraction. One of the reasons for their aggressive defense when they get scolded is - that they are already painfully aware that they have made a mistake. Their awkward social skills may cause Indigos to make mistakes when interacting with their friends. Help them to understand that everyone makes mistakes and that mistakes require correction and not punishment

The name itself indicates the Life Colour they carry in their * see Auras* Indigo Children are named for the predominant Auric Colour of Indigo (an ink-like dark blue with a touch of red). The colour Indigo represents the Brow or *see Third Eye Chakra*, the Energy Center of Intuition & Psychic activity, which is believed to be wide open on most Indigos. Indigos experience a thinner 'veil' or separation between the earth and the spirit worlds, and they are able to access information many cannot. This explain why Indigo children are viewed as incredibly psychic. Some report seeing Auras, Angels, Fairies and Deceased loved ones . They can feel the integrity level of a stranger immediately and they sense dishonesty

Many Indigos have strong *see Psychic* talents which need assistance and support to develop. Some Indigos are natural Healers and seem to be naturally attuned to *see Reiki* Energy. Praise your child's Spiritual gifts. Indigo children need emotional support from their parents, especially with respect to their clairvoyant psychic abilities. A parent's support can make the difference between Indigo's feeling ashamed about being different and those who recognize the beauty of their spiritual gifts

Your childs intuitive and psychic gifts make them vulnerable to feelings of fatique, irritability or hyperactivity. The duty of the parents is to be aware of this process and to teach our children psychic protection and energy-healing techniques so that they can thrive and survive while fulfilling their purpose. The Indigo generation expects to contribute and impact society while still in their teens and early 20's

All feet show individualised and unique features, but this Evolutionary Group of people all have one specific 'landmark' in common.

Certain toes are partly Webbed,to a larger or lesser extent, a 'unification' of toes - like little duck feet.This could symbolise the possible ease with which they will 'swim' through life.

Counting the Big Toe as number one - webbing occurs between the 2nd and 3rd toes in the Indigo Generation,whereas the 2nd,3rd & 4th toes are partly joined/webbed in the case of the Crystal Children

In some people the Big toe - 'The Toe of Intuition and Spirituality' is partly webbed with the 2nd toe - the toe of 'The Self - The Soul' , this is a very special feature

The first Chakra is reflected on the heels, and represents the basic and fundamental aspects of life - the Sacrament of Baptism

In the heel area, the older generation often manifests thick callous formations,which indicates a need for seperation or protection

The first Energy Centre is also referred to as the Base Chakra,symbolically connecting us with the Earth and keeps us grounded and balanced.Awareness of this is important more so to the 'New Generations' as being so Psychic,Intuitive & Creative,they have a tendency to live in the Upper Chakras

A too narrow heel, in proportion to the rest of the foot,often observed together with the webbed toes,canbe a sign of being ungrounded, the may be 'floating' and need to be observed and gently 'reined' in.Chakra balancing needs to be done regularly in these cases as well as colour healing like Aura Soma

Chakra 6 & 7 in particular need to be adjusted with balancing.Often the so-called epileptics fits and high fevers,which are often observed in the 'Crystal Children' can usually be improved by balancing the overactive,wide-open chakreas 6&7

Webbed toes mean that 'Indigo Children' would have 6 chakras instead of 7,and the Crystal Children ould have 5 insted of 7 chakras,easing and accelerating their path trhough the different states of spiritual development

We normal mortal will have to cross a difficult bridge, The Solar Plexus to attain the different steps of our Spiritual Path.We can get stuck in an area for years,not able to jump the hurdle and come to terms with self-acceptance and self-motivation.Not having 'this hurdle' any more,makeslife so much easier.These special people love themselves,and nobody can take this away from them.They are sometimes perceived as arrogant,and in a few cases this might be so.However,it is possible that this perception arises out of jeolousy on the part of others who may wish to be more like them.The New Children will never know the frustration of being stuck at this energy level

This gift provides them with clear percetion and the openess and freedom to decide what is right and what is wrong.The intuitively know where they come from and where they are going.However, their clear thinking may be the reason why they are so easily bored,or become irritable and angry so quickly

The ball of the foot,reflecting the Heart Chakra,and also the Seat of the Soul,is often larger than normal.This might be a reflection of their deep desire to make a major contribution to helping the world.Their emotional and spiritual intelligence is much more developed,giving them strong empathy with others.Looking at the balls of their feet,one gets the feeling that their heart is constantly going out. The bulging appearance (overt-outgoing) is a sign that this energy field in out of balance.It could mean that there is an imbalace between giving and receiving, a strong characteristic of the Server or Healer archtypes.It could also be that the soul is not coping with the misery witnessed in the world, and that they are overwhelmed and experience a strong sense of helplessness

Doreen Virtue writes that the Indigoes were born from 1978 onwards.Others talk about 1960 as a 'starting point', but Footology case studies features of Indigo and Crystal people have been observed on clients born as early as 1920. However, there is a great difference between the older Indigo people and the yournger ones. In the older generation the features were not openly visible,because the respective toes were bent,sometimes curled over each other.The special features, with their specific characteristics, were kept dormant.The world they were born into was not ready to allow them the space they needed to develop their special gifts.Webbing is not a static feature- it can in fact develop as people advance spiritually and allow themselves to be open to the Universe

Help your Indigo child to develop his photographic memory. A photographic memory means that you can see something in your mind's eye and describe it in detail. You can pull up a mental image of a textbook page from your visual memory band and read the page in your mind.This is very helpful at school. Visual children often need parental help translating their school lessons into mental pictures. They will do much better if you have them focus on their natural gifts of visual memory and help them exercise their visual mental muscles Indigo children may seem awkward or clumsy and may be labeled as having 'delayed motor skill functioning

They are not accustomed to dealing with the denseness of material objects on this planet. On other planets and on the high material planes of existence, matter is more malleable. Your Indigo child, may also realize that teletransportation and bilocation are capabilities of the human species - so why should they bother with the clumsy and artificial means of transportation such as walking

Talking and reading may also seem unnatural to Indigo children, who intuitively know that more accurate and honest conversation is available through telepathy. Part of the Indigo's remarkable intuitive abilities come from their visual focus. They notice every little facial tic, eye movement, and shuffle of those who are talking with them. As a result they may not make steady eye contact with the person with whom they are having a conversation. That person may assume that the children aren't paying attention, yet the children are 'hearing' the person on a very deep level

You have a powerful manifestor living in your home. Indigos have powerful gifts of manifestation that are accessed through their superior visual skills. Visualization is an ancient method for creating experiences and material objects. The earliest records of visualization date back to ancient Egypt. Quantum Science and Consciousness studies are giving us Scientific evidence of the Power that human intention has in affecting matter

Most traditional public schools are based on left-brain, linear approach to learning. Right-brain dominant people llike Indigo Children & Adult lightworkers, learn more by what they see than what they hear. Daydreams that are vision or feeling-oriented are indications of right-brain thinking.If you discover that your Indigo Child is right-brained, then it's important to help them develop their natural photographic memory. Be sure to reinforce what a gift they have, and that their visual orientation is a special tool that will help them succeed in many life areas

If these Indigo children's energy isn't focused in positive directions, it can be used in very negative, destructive ways and that is happening in our schools today.

Indigo children seem to need a higher degree of stimulation than other kids do. They need outlets to express their powerful energy creatively. If they don't have access to creative outlets and other healthy stimulation, they usually create their own form of stimulation - like acting-out to get attention or creating a high-drama crisis that makes them feel special

Exercise is one way to let the steam out so they don't explode like a pressure cooker.

Creativity is another important means. Get them involved in some sort of creative venture of any form e.g. making beaded jewelry, photography, yoga, song, dance, music, acting decorating and creative cooking, doodling, gardening, building sandcastles ect. This will result in them becoming absorbed and free flowing. They will lose almost all - if not all their moodiness and flow from the heart. They will become compassionate and have an innate sense of working together as a whole

Extremely Emotional and sometimes physically sensitive or fragile, highly talented or academically gifted and often Metaphysically gifted as well

You may feel frustrated because your Indigo Child are often impossible to live with. It is important to know that they are highly sensitive, therefore it may seem that everything upsets them. They feel things so much that it's sometimes painful. They become overwhelmed by the emotions they pick up from other people, so they may avoid intimate settings that promote one-on-one converstions

Indigo children tend to be very picky about the comfort of their clothes and shoes

The child's sensitivities also make them aware of the comfort level of furniture, linens and clothing. It might frustrate the parent that their child won't wear half their wardrobe, because they complain that it scratches or binds them. In a similar way some Indigos complain that clothing labels on the inside neck area of their shirts cause them irritation or itching. These are very real problems in the material world they live in

Most Indigo children do not like synthetic fabric,since they tend to have aversion to anything unnatural. A lot of them develop allergies. Synthetic fabrics and pesticides on cotton can cause them to itch, develop hives and rashes, get asthma and become anxious. Try clothing them in organic cotton. The skin sensitivity of the Indigo can also lead to allergic reactions to laundry detergents

Their sensitivity can also interfere with their sleep. It has also been noted that the hues of too brightly coloured linens could be very stimulating and keep these children awake during sleeping time. By taking care of their comfort (bed size,linen & blankets) during sleep,could result in their sleep quality to improve dramatically

Indigo childeren are extremely sensitive to smell. If they complain that they do not like the smell of something - believe them. Help to set up their bedrooms & other environments, with pleasant smells based on natural fragrances - artificial ones tend to worsen the symptoms of ADHD

Childrens moods and energy levels are affected by the foods they eat and the beverages they drink. Foods with additives, such as preservatives and food colouring - have a measurble effect on ADHD symptoms

Indigo Children are exquisitely sensitive to flavor, smell an texture - so they're bound to be picky eaters. They can turn this 'sensitivity' into an asset by tuning in to their body's mood and energy fluctuations. If they can notice the link between how they feel and how they eat, they'll become internally motivated to eat better The Indigo Child's spiritual nature creates an internal push, which urges them to live at a high spiritual frequency. The higher the frequency - the more accomplished they are with respect to their Psychic and Spiritual healing abilities

You can support your child's 'Life Purpose' by helping them elevate their spiritual frequency. A major contribution to this endeavor is through teaching your Indigo child about the Spiritual Energy of Food

Everything has a 'Life Force' - which could b e thought of as the way in which atoms move around. Food is no exception. Some foods has more Life Force than other foods. When vegetables or fruits are still on the tree or vine and reaches its ripeness, its Life Force is at its highest. If you eat this freshly picked, vine ripened fruit or vegetable, you are consuming a large dose of Life Force. As a result, you'll notice that your energy and mood will be positively boosted right after you eat it. The more High Life Force foods that the Indigo child eat - the Higher their Spiritual Energy will be

Anyhting that would kill the Life Force in a human also kills the Life Force in fruits, grains and vegetables. If in doubt, ask 'Could I survive the process that I'm putting this food through?'

Blending and Juicing - The Life Force only stays in fruits and vegetables for 20 minutes after they are juiced. Fresh juices is better than bottled or canned for the Indigo child

Additives - Sugar,white flour, food dyes and preservatives have all been correlated with ADHD behaviours. These additives also have no Life Force and they rob healthful foods of their Life Force as well

Pesticides - Pesticides means 'kill' and this aggressive energy is found in fruit, vegetables, grains and oils - unless you take steps to remove the residue. Also meat purchased at a supermarket is filled with these pesticides. Much better to try and buy organic foods and cooking supplies - or free ranged meat

Hypoglycemic or ADHD - Hypoglycemia or Low Blood Sugar is the most significant underlying problem in children who exhibit behavioural problems. The treatment for Hypoglycemia is simple The child's diet!!!

Make sure that the child never gets hungry, and eliminate refind carbohydrates such as candy, cakes, pies and soft drinks from their diet

A drop in Blood Sugar Levels can cause a temporary change in mood and energy levels. The child can become tired and irritable. Keep their Blood Sugar Levels high by letting them eat frequent, small and healthful snacks. Also by avoiding their coffee, chocolate and sugar intake

Exercise is essential to the well-being of Indigo children.Eastern forms of exercise that can be very good for the Indigo is Yoga & Tai Chi.These can be especially helpful as they learn to center, focus & concentrate. It is best that they exercise outside, it uses a wider variety of muscles.Fresh air, sunlight and excercise all produce serotonin - giving them a huge boost of this feel-good brain chemical. Studies have shown that exercise increases the quality of a person' sleep an reduces problems with insomnia

Sleep may be one of the most crucial factors in your child's mood & behaviour. Scientific studies show a strong correlation between the quality of sleep and whether children exhibit signs of ADHD / ADD

Indigo children are associated with insomnia as a problem.The child itself recoginize the importance of a good night's sleep. Some can't fall asleep, some are up the whole night, some see scary faces and figures in the room and are to afraid to fall asleep. Some need a lot of sleep and if they don't get enough, they will feel lethargic and exhausted the whole day,with no energy to do anything. Some says getting too much or too little sleep makes them drowsy. So a proper balance of sleep time is essential for an Indigo child's mood and energy levels

Sleep deprivation can also disrupt your child's memory reaction time and alertness. Studies has proven that tired people are also more prome to feelings of impatience and are less interactive in relationships

Vigorous exercise or activity just before bedtime can also create insomnia. Worries about tomorrow - bullies, tests ect also can result in your Indigo child not being able to fall asleep

Your Indigo child may be suffering needlessly from insomnia - because of the 'Feng Shui' or lay-out of their bedroom. This could trigger anxiety that could result in insomnia.Read books on positive and negative energy fields and patterns and how it can affect our lives and health

Another very important cause of insomnia can be your child's highly psychic ability

The Indigos are having scary visions becasue their psychic abilities are highly developed. A huge amount of Indigo's have insomnia because they see entities or other frightening visions in their bedrooms. This is different from those kids who imagines that they see an alligator in the closet. These kids really are seeing faces and beings at night. Many of these children find that their fears fall on their parent's deaf ears resulting in them having a fitful and restless night's sleep

The lighting in your child's bedroom also affects their moor and energy level. It is essential that your child be shielded from house-hold and street lights when they are trying to sleep. Even a soft light in the bedroom can create low levels of inteference with deep sleep. If the child insist on a night light - keep it as dim as possible an out of the line of vision with their head as they sleep. Close the bedroom door to shut out lighting or sound interferance from the general household. Make sure the blinds and curtains or blinds adequately shut out streep lights and sounds. Lighting can affect your child's ability to concentrate and focus. Some believe that fluorescent lighting and lack of sunlight is partially responsible for hyperactivity

Placing *crystals* like Clear Quartz, Rose Quartz, Amethyst or Sugalite - next to your child's bed. Hang a Clear Quartz in front of the bedroom windows Place live potted plants next to their rooms - the broad-leafed plants are the best for clearing purposes.The plants also gives off oxygen, which studies have proven to increase ability to focus and concentrate Place a bowl of sea water, or salty water in the center of the room. The liquid absorbs negativity from the air and also cleanses your child's *Chakras*

Visualizing protection of the White Light - surrounding the entire home with white light. This will clear and protect the home from unwanted visitors

By teaching your Indigo child spiritual clearing and protection methods - you are giving them a magnificent gift. You will also guide your child to begin working with their 'Angels' - which helps them throughout their childhood, adolescence and adulthood. When they know that they are being watched over by God and the Angels and their parents - they can be assured to know` that all is well

Indigo children are exquisitely sensitive - emotionally and physically. They may not realize why they're hyperactive, but they're unconsciously aware of stimulants and irritants in the environment that irritate them. They also have an interactive effect with battery-operated and electrically charged items. A lot of Indigo children find that watches stop working when they wear them, and that electrical items break or don't function in their presence

The Indigo children may experience central nervous system arousal, because electrical appliances are near their beds. It is essential that everything that's electrically charged or battery operated be situated far from the child's bed. Place television sets, electric clocks, plug-in telephones or answering machines and computers are at least four to five feet from the bed. Electrical appliances on your child's nightstand will interrup their sleep - guaranteed. Interrupted sleep relates to an increase in ADHD symptoms

It is important to make the difference between being an Indigo child or suffering from true ADD or ADHD. Indigo Children are often identified or suspected of having ADD or ADHD, but can focus when they want. Indigo children can either be very empathic and compassionate OR very cold and callous. Some children who have autism and those with Asperger's Syndrome are also Indigo Children and it is thought that with Spiritual Counseling and various Energy Therapies such as Reiki, Shamballa, and EMF Balancing, among others, that these children may come out of their shells

Due to their intuitive nature, these children usually develop close bonds with their pets. Unspoken, telepathic communication between children and animals is common. Teach your child to be kind to animals is an investment in their future.Give your child the opportunity to raise and care for a pet, it can help them grow in many ways

The Indigo Child, like lightworkers, have a Life Purpose to help the world and needs to connect with Mother Nature. They may need alone tiems where they can walk and think in the wilderness. This is the true church, temple and classroom where your child can learn and play.Encourage this

You can help your child heal any sense of emptiness and to feel like they are making a positive difference - by teaching them some simple methods. On nature outings, let them pick up litter along the way and teach them to recycle. They can contribute to the healing of Mother Earth

Is your child frustrated by ritual-oriented systems that require little creativity ?

Is your child very intelligent ? Is your child very talented - may be identify as gifted ?
