OUR BLESSINGS - INDIGO CHILDREN! By Betsy Morgan Coffman
Who are they?
How can you recognize one?
How can we help them?

We have all heard the term “Indigo Children” by now…but, who are they and what is all the fuss?

WHO ARE THEY?  
     Indigo Children are special human beings who inherently know that love is the most important thing there is.  They are born with some gifts of spirit (such as: clairvoyance, mediumship, healing, etc.) intact – although they may not be consciously aware of these gifts until later on!  What they are acutely aware of is the great potential of what Humanity as a whole can become. 
       Indigo Children have great hope and intention for the world and us. Yet, they are very unpretentious, even to the point of assuming that the rest of us are where they are in consciousness and intent.  In fact, it can cause them irritation when they discover that the vast majority of us don’t behave in alignment with our integrity (or Higher Self)…they just don’t get it!  They are very passionate about honor and honesty.
      These children are the current generation!  Approximately 85% of the children born today are Indigo.  A little history:  they started arriving slowly in the late 1970’s (about 20% born being Indigo) and increased dramatically around 1992, when approximately 70% of children born were Indigo…until today where MOST are Indigo children.
      These children are unique.  They have very special and different characteristics that set them apart from previous generations of children.  The name itself indicates the Life Color they carry in their auras and is indicative of the Third Eye Chakra, which represents intuition and psychic ability.  They come in with their intentions and gifts easily identifiable from birth.  Indigos are born masters - each and every one!

OTHER INTERESTING CHARACTERISTICS:
     These young people may be rebellious to authority and nonconformist as they inherently see the need for change in our society.   They may be extremely emotional and sometimes physically sensitive or fragile to their environment and the food they eat.  They are usually highly talented or academically gifted and, as mentioned, often metaphysically gifted as well - demonstrating all ranges of psychic abilities.
     They may seem wise beyond their years.  Many are labeled ADD/ADHD because of their high energy levels both mentally and physically.  Some can hear or see things at night, leaving them with great apprehension of the dark.  They may have extreme emotional, physical and spiritual sensitivities that make them “fussy” eaters.  They may be termed “different” from others at school.  They may wish to avoid loud noise.  They may be sensitive to people’s energy or to physical touch.  Some days you will notice them happy, and then after being around others, they can have huge emotional meltdowns.

HOW CAN WE RECOGNIZE ONE?
Here are some ways to help you identify an Indigo Child:
1.  Is your child particularly creative?
2.  Does your child display intuition?
3.  Is your child frustrated by ritual that requires little creativity?
4.  Does your child have strong empathy for others?
5.  Did your child develop abstract thinking very early?
6.  Does your child have difficulty with discipline and authority?
7.  Does your child display symptoms of Attention Deficit Disorder?
8.  Is your child very intelligent?
9.  Does your child have spiritual intelligence?
10. Does your child talk about speaking with angels or spiritual friends?
If your child or young person demonstrates even half of the above, they are an Indigo Child!
     In summary to the above, these exceptional beings have moments of wonder and inner wisdom, ponder big questions, express natural intuition, have compassion and empathy, and experience the world multi-dimensionally.

     A new world is developing.  To help create this unique kingdom here on earth that we all dream of, everybody - old/young, parent/teacher - should encourage these young people to “speak-up” so that we all can listen.  We have to trust the new children of this earth, because they are the ones walking barefoot on a new path, trying in an effort to clear the way for the newcomers.  These children are truly the “bringers of the dawn”, helping to prepare all of us for the new tomorrow, by lifting the frequency of the earth.

     Their group mission statement: They have come to help us prepare for 2012 when the entire earth will have a huge consciousness shift.  They are helping us get ready!
     “The Indigo Child is a boy or girl who displays a new and unusual set of psychological attributes, revealing a pattern of behavior 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.”  - Lee Carroll & Jan Tober

     If you have a young person in your life who is Indigo and you are interested in helping them to develop their natural talents, there are 2 classes being offered in August by The New Mexico School for Indigo Children.  The program designed for summer 2007, will support the 13 to 16 year old Indigo Child through classes, discussion with peers and facilitator; and will help develop their special skills so they can use the skills at a practical level.  The 2 classes include:  channeling, psychic development, Reiki Level One, kinesiology, pendulum, tarot, palmistry, astrology, chakra cleansings, and healing with color.
