How do you know if your a indigo child

Are You an Indigo Child? These 17 Signs Will Reveal the Truth ⋆ LonerWolf

In a world that has lost touch with its soul, the indigo child is here as a light-bearer, path forger, and paradigm shifter.

Although the concept of indigo children originated in the 1970’s, there have been groups of individuals all through the ages whose mission and purpose have been to awaken humanity.

If you’re an old soul who feels a strong and profound urge to create change in society, you are likely an indigo child.

What is an Indigo Child?

Also referred to as a crystal or star child, an indigo child is a person who has come into this world destined to create change and spiritually awaken humanity. Indigo children are considered to be freethinkers with profound insight into the human condition and an ability to see the truth clearly. As spiritually gifted old souls, indigo children find it hard to fit into mainstream society and often become misunderstood, rejected, or misdiagnosed and medicated. The indigo child is also thought to possess strong intuition and varying spiritual gifts such as the ability to communicate with spirit guides or see visions.

Truth and Deception

The primary role of the indigo child seems to revolve around exposing truth and deception. From a young age, indigo children are able to see through the illusions, half-truths, and falsehood rife in society. To their parents and teachers, they may seem like overly inquisitive, headstrong, and even obnoxious children. As precocious truth tellers, child and adult indigos can’t help but see through the bullshit facades of other people and expose them. This desire to bring the truth to light seems to be written into the indigo child’s DNA.

Enlightened teacher Jiddu Krishnamurti sums up the indigo child’s philosophy when he writes,

It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society.

Many people criticize the indigo child concept as being one that can be misused by parents seeking to make their children look special, particularly if they have special needs. Others claim that signs of being an indigo child are so vague they can apply to anyone (this is called the Forer effect).

While it is true that the indigo child label can be misused, just as any label can, the true signs of an indigo child are so specific that they cannot be widely applied to every person. As I just mentioned above, indigo children are obsessed with finding the truth – this cannot be said of every person or every child. Every rule, belief, structure, and institution will be questioned and ruthlessly challenged by the indigo child – this trait is truly unusual and extraordinary.

It is also common for people to criticize the indigo child label as being delusional. While all labels and concepts used to describe the ego are illusory constructs of the mind, finding a sense of affinity with the indigo child label is extremely beneficial. Identifying with this label helps us to develop self-understanding and acceptance, which are important elements of spiritual growth.

Indigo Children Who Are Misdiagnosed

It is common for the indigo child to be misdiagnosed with behavioral issues such as ADD, ADHD, and other mood disorders. Because of their headstrong and freethinking nature, such children are often feared, misunderstood, and therefore medicated at young ages. Unfortunately, medications such as Ritalin and Adderall often end up numbing the indigo child and causing them to lose contact with their intuitive capacities and truth-seeking nature.

Are you an indigo child? Perhaps your children are indigos? Below I have included a list of seventeen authentic signs.

I have omitted typical signs often mentioned on other websites like “sense of entitlement” and “feeling special and like you should be revered” because these, to me, represent narcissism or unhealthy parenting styles more than genuine indigo child signs.

If you possess more than half of these traits, you’re likely an indigo child:

1. You are strong willed

You are a passionate person who will do anything it takes to accomplish your goals or dreams. Even if other people criticize or don’t support you, you still keep going no matter what.

2. You’re an old soul

You feel as though you’ve lived many lifetimes, and possess a wisdom that others your age don’t yet have. As a child, you may have behaved like an old man or woman, and as an adult, you have a deeply spiritual and philosophical outlook on life.

3. You’re a freethinker

No idea or belief is too holy for you to dissect or reject. You prefer to think for yourself rather than blindly following the crowd. As an indigo child, questioning is everything to you.

4. You’re a headstrong nonconformist

As a child or teenager, you may have been thought of as “naughty,” “obnoxious,” disobedient, and contrarian. As an adult, you still cannot stand being boxed in or controlled by others. As a headstrong nonconformist, you prefer to find your own truth and forge your own path.

5. You’re a passionate truth-seeker

Truth, to you, is of primary importance. You are always seeking to distinguish truth and reality from lies and deception. When you are around others, you can immediately tell when someone is lying or hiding something. Although the truth hurts, you honor it above all else. You would prefer to suffer from the truth than be happy believing lies.

6. You’re perceptive and intelligent

You can see and understand things about humanity and life that most other people don’t perceive. Your keen perception allows you to discover the truth about the human condition, and how to ultimately help.

7. You are highly intuitive

Your keen perception also makes you highly intuitive. You can often intuit the best course of action as well as know things about others that are secret or hidden.

8. You want to change the world

Deep in your heart, you feel a driving force to create positive change on this planet. As an indigo child, you know that your destiny is to be a paradigm changer/destroyer. This strong sense of purpose forms the axis of your decisions. Whatever is not aligned with your inner sense of purpose quickly dissolves in favor of soul-based decisions.

9. You’re empathetic and compassionate

You care so much about this planet and other people that it often hurts. Every time you see or hear of violence, destruction, and cruelty, you feel sorrow and anger. Your high level of empathy and compassion means that you often struggle with anxiety or depression.

10. You’re a change-making leader

Since you were little, you’ve always gravitated towards leadership. You may find it hard to work in teams or for other people and function better when you’re in charge or working for yourself. You find it difficult to obey authority, particularly when that authority is corrupt, illogical or outdated. You want to offer better, wiser, and healthier ways to live life, making you destined to be a spiritual elder.

11. You’re idealistic

You have high expectations for yourself and other people. While idealism can be a positive trait, it can also carry disadvantages such as being overly critical or demanding. Nonetheless, your idealism is what helps you to strive for the highest and do the absolute best you can for the planet.

12. You have a loner/autonomous personality

As a free spirit, you don’t like to be held down by anyone or anything. You find it difficult to be around too many people at once, and often prefer to spend time in your own company. As a lover of autonomy, you enjoy solitude and the insight it can bring.

13. You’re highly creative

Your nonconformist brain loves to express itself through art and creativity. Whether it be drawing, dancing, singing, building, painting, writing or crafting, you love creative self-expression.

14. You have a strong connection with nature and animals

As an empathic and compassionate person, you gravitate towards the natural world. You feel most at home when you’re near the ocean or surrounded by trees and animals. Nature is so pure and grounding that you find it a welcome break from the pretension of humanity.

15. You’re drawn towards spirituality over religion

To you, spirituality is falling in love with the message, and religion is loving the messenger. As an indigo child, you are drawn towards truth in its purest form – not diluted by dogma or fundamentalist teachings.

16. You struggle with boredom

Because of your sharp and inquisitive mind, you tend to struggle with routine and conventional structures. As a result of your tendency to get bored easily, you may have been misdiagnosed with ADD or ADHD as a child.

17. You are prone to experiencing existential angst

Existential anxiety and depression go far beyond usual anxiety and depression, and this is because it is more concerned with life itself than the self. As an indigo child, you tend to ask questions such as “Why do we suffer?” “What is the meaning of life?” “Why is there injustice?” “Why was I born?” Such deep philosophical questions cause you to lose interest in the meaningless pursuits carried out by the majority of humanity.

Other potential traits of indigo children include:

Tendency towards addiction to numb feelings
Seeking only loyal friendships
Proud/bossy
Fiery tempered
More sensitive to environmental and food pollutants
Spiritual gifts such as clairvoyance or telepathy

What is an Indigo Child?

An Indigo Child or Indigo Kid is an upgraded blueprint of humanity, a term that came up when addressing the aura colors of these very different kids. Previously, auric fields were expected shades of the rainbow, but the Indigos’ field was dominated by a royal blue color. Thus, establishing a change of course in human evolution and their indigo aura.

Gifted children, on a clear mission to challenge and shift reality, they first began appearing in the 1970s. Beyond psychic awareness, they are highly driven and creative with a perception that sees through the established norms of society. Old souls indeed, their mission is clearly laid out to shake up the modern world and pave the way for future generations to create greater peace and harmony for all.

Both of these generations of “children” are well into their teens and adulthood, so don’t allow the label to dissuade you from exploring the concept of Indigo Children.

13 Common Traits of Indigo Children

If you wonder if you might be of this distinct soul lineage, here are a few personality traits that may feel familiar.

spiritual awakening spiritual growth

1. You Feel Spiritually Awakened

You were born to be a lightworker and have felt from a young age that you’re tapped into something spiritually greater than most people are.

2. You Are Destined to Be Here

You are confident and even arrogant at times – and emboldened by something larger than you can name. You know that you were put on this planet for a reason and that reason is to enact positive change. You know that those who are native to this planet are growing and ascending and need help in their transformation.

3. You Have High Expectations of Yourself and Others

This can make for challenging relationships and interactions. You see only the best and expect others to live up to it. Toward yourself, you can be unrelentingly self-critical. Don’t let this get the best of you, instead use it to your advantage to push yourself and others, but also know that others may not be as motivated.

4. You Have a Strong Intuition

Indigos see the world differently. Coupled with innate-self assurance, you often think your way is right and are offended if others cannot see, much less take action, from your point of view. If Indigos ruled the world, you are confident no problems would exist.

5. You Question Authority

You are not one to negotiate, so certain in your views and ways, you are often rebellious and a skeptic of those in power. This can occasionally get you in trouble, so know how to get into the good and noble types of trouble.

6. You Want to Overturn the Man

Difficult and rigid systems seem foolish to you and you often become antagonistic to what others experience as normal. These systems may also seem antiquated compared to those you know and believe are much more effective. Have patience and know that these massive systems that need changing are like giant ships that can’t always turn on a dime.

7. You are Creative

Musically and artistically gifted, your art invites others to see the world around through your eyes. Nurture this ability,

8. You are a Change Maker

You’re so aware of the failings of society which, in turn, makes you a magnificent leader. You’re always finding new and better methods of business, society, and ways of existing within the chaos of a society that is growing and evolving.

9. You are a Lost Soul

You feel out of place with others as you recognize you are different than most people. You can tend toward being a loner or rebel, unwilling to compromise just to fit in.

10. You are Headstrong

As the Indigo soul mission is encoded in your very being, you know your self-worth, you are unwilling to back down from confronting what feels out of integrity.

11. You are Passionate and Focused

While fiery temperaments may be hard to take, you are not one to be still or silenced. These two traits should and do balance each other, as too much unchecked passion can lead to negative outcomes. Nurture these traits and use them in conjunction with each other.

12. You Have Psychic Abilities

Without any need for development, your psychic capacity (clairvoyance, empath, telepathy) is finely tuned. While you see nothing special in your ability, it gives you an advantage in reading others with ease and seeing through masks.

13. You are Frustrated

Coupled with their big-picture vision and restless soul drive for change, you become easily frustrated with society and others who are not shifting quickly enough. Patience is something that should be developed.

Challenges of the Indigo

Not everyone born of this generation carries this new blueprint. The early few were known as “scouts,” testing out the climate to see if more souls could be ushered in. Nor should we assume being an Indigo is something to be idealized. Far from it! Beyond the responsibility such a distinction will carry, we have also witnessed the drive of the Indigos to be paralyzing at times.

Shifting Purpose

Indigo children are destined to make changes, to challenge society, and to be loud in what they see as the flaws in the system. When this mission is complete, they have to shift life purpose quite drastically. Those who are thrown off their life path early, that is to say, their push for progress is thwarted or forgotten, often turn in on themselves.

ADHD

Indigos are often treated for attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder and prescribed drugs such as a Ritalin to calm them of a perceived irregularity. In reality, indigos are just dealing with the pressure of being trapped in these earthly bodies with the added pressure of helping humanity in some greater capacity.

Depression

We have witnessed many Indigos deep in depression, low self-esteem, addictions, and even suicide. So strong is this governing battering ram, it can turn inward when they are unable to create the changes they are adamant need to be made. The worst outcome for an Indigo is to be ignored or mocked… for their perception is hawk-like and they are able to foresee the pitfalls and are compelled to drive change at massive levels.

Indigo adults are even more susceptible to depression as they become older, especially if they have the perception that they haven’t been able to enact significant change in the world. Indigo adults should find others like them in these situations and form support groups or know that there are others out there struggling too.

Integrity

Of the most blessed attributes of the Indigo Children is their integrity. They carry it within and can sense when others are dishonest. They may not always see this as a gift, for the world can be corrupt and indifferent. However, they carry a deep knowing they are “right” even though, if pressed, they may not be able to explain their assuredness.

Starseeds

Crystal children, Rainbow children, and Star children are all different manifestations or variations of Indigos. Crystal children are believed to be the offspring of Indigos, while a Starseed is the overarching term for a soul from another part of the universe who has been incarnated here on Earth. For more information on the various types of Starseeds check out this comprehensive article.

If ever you’ve looked up at the night sky and felt a connection with a bright planet or glowing cluster of stars, you might be feeling your soul’s connection to a past or future life. Given that you came from stardust and have been infused with divine light, you might feel this connection deeply in your bones. Is this an illusion? Or are you born from a distant star, a true descendant of a faraway light-body or planet, a Starseed?

After hundreds of years of analysis and lately more precise evaluation, it’s estimated that there are over 10 billion galaxies in the known Universe. Many say that there are over 100 billion stars in The Milky Way, our home galaxy.

When you piece that together in an equation, it looks something like:

10,000,000,000 X 100,000,000,000 = 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 STARS!

5) They were rebellious at school, refused to do their homework and rejected the teacher's authority. Or they seriously wanted to “revolt”, but did not dare, as a rule, because of parental pressure.

6) These children often experience early existential depression and feelings of helplessness. This can range from mild sadness to complete despair. Thoughts of suicide as early as middle school, or even as early as elementary school age, are not uncommon among indigos.

15) Anger at the right of the authorities to take away and deprive of something, fear and rage because, as it seems to them, someone is watching them and controlling their life (secret organizations, etc.).

Indigo children ✔️ Signs, features and expert opinion

The phenomenon of indigo children has been of interest to scientists and parents for several decades. Some consider them fiction, others - the future of mankind. We tried to figure out if they exist and how to live in harmony with what we tend to think of as indigo children.

Indigo children - who are they: fact or fiction?

Prostock-studio/Shutterstock. com

For the first time the term "indigo children" was coined by the American psychologist and clairvoyant Nancy Tapp - in 1982 she published the book "How color helps to better understand your life", in which she claimed: more and more children are born with unique mental, intellectual and emotional abilities. They can be identified by the violet glow of karma.

In France, such children are called “teflon”, in the British Isles they are called “children of the millennium”, in Russia they are called “children of light”. These children were credited with telepathic abilities, abilities for alternative thinking, increased susceptibility and highly developed consciousness.

The term came into wide use at the turn of the 20th and 21st centuries after the publication of the book Indigo Children: The New Children Have Arrived by American mystics Lee Carroll and Jen Tober, which immediately became a bestseller. After that, statements began to appear, including from scientists, that Indigo Children are a "new race of people" designed to replace the current .

In 2002, Hawaii hosted the first international conference dedicated to indigo children. About 600 participants discussed the exceptional abilities of unusual children.

However, although the term "indigo" is quite common, there is no concrete scientific evidence for this phenomenon . Although many books, studies and television programs have been devoted to such children, scientists and experts still differ in their assessments, and some even consider this term a hoax.

For example, Sarah Whedon, an American religious scholar, professor of theology and history of religions, Ph. also in the spread of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.

The expert stressed that it is more profitable for parents to consider their child indigo, special, than to bring up his child's behavior, which does not cause understanding in the eyes of the surrounding people.

What are indigo children like?

Prostock-studio/Shutterstock.com

Despite being skeptical of the term by psychologists, American psychologist Lee Carroll has done some serious research into what might be called indigo children.

According to her, indigo is a smart, developed child who does not want to obey the usual stereotypes of childhood behavior. The expert was convinced that such children from an early age perfectly understand their characteristics, know what they want and who they will be, and from the outside it may look like a rapidly developing megalomania.

The psychologist identified three main types of "indigo", describing their characteristics and possible social development scenarios:

Humanists are hyperactive, sociable, easily assimilate new knowledge and find application for it. But at the same time, they are physically rather clumsy, it is difficult for them to do any manipulations with material objects. Vivid examples of such people can be Albert Einstein, Andrei Sakharov or Lev Landau.
Conceptualists are dynamic, well adapted to physical activity, innate leaders, and from early childhood. They strive for thrills, so they can easily become addicted to drugs and alcohol. Such were Napoleon, Hemingway, Mikhail Bulgakov.
Artists - have incredible levels of creativity, empathy and emotionality, they can simultaneously master creative skills in different directions. They hardly survive in real difficult conditions, they need protection and guardianship of more adapted individuals. An example of such a person was the famous artist Salvador Dali.

Researchers of the indigo phenomenon cannot determine what was the cause and what was the effect, but a sharp increase in the number of such children and a qualitative breakthrough in computer and information technologies are linked together .

Indigo is now considered to include Steve Jobs, Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, Barack Obama, multiple world golf champion Tiger Woods, Eminem, Orlando Bloom, Angelina Jolie, Dakota Fanning, Johnny Depp, Princes William and Harry, as well as Gregory Smith, who is one of the top ten child prodigies in the world and was nominated for the Nobel Prize at the age of 12.

Is my child indigo? Signs of Unique Children

Prostock-studio/Shutterstock.com

Until now, scientists have not decided on clear criteria. Many parents take advantage of this - they want to see their child as non-standard, different from everyone else, telling everyone that he is indigo, while at the same time attributing difficulties and problems in education to the term.

A number of scientists even connect the non-standard children, called indigo, with the diagnosis of ADHD (attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder). In particular, this point of view is present in the book "Indigo Children" by Tober and Carroll. Such children are restless, they have difficulties in communicating with both children and adults. They are characterized by impulsiveness, sudden mood swings. They do not perceive and do not try to understand the traditional forms of education and upbringing.

Autism researcher Mitzi Waltz has suggested that indigo traits are related to the autism spectrum If you follow this point of view, then you can explain such characteristics as supposedly telepathic abilities, avoidance of social contacts, a desire to withdraw into oneself, an unwillingness to recognize authorities and obey, and a lack of stable attachments.

Child psychologists are seriously concerned that scoring a child as indigo can lead to negative results. In this case, correct diagnosis and treatment are impossible, and the study of the method of education that caused such behavior is simply not carried out.

A vicious circle arises: parents are sure that they are raising an indigo child, and they try in every possible way to convince him of this. The child himself begins to do everything to meet these ideas.

Prostock-studio/Shutterstock.com

But what if you still consider your child an indigo? Let's define a list of signs that you should check :

The child has a high level of intelligence, high self-esteem, a harmonious system of his own views and beliefs, often different from the parent. He cannot be influenced through manipulation, blackmail, pressure, intimidation, threats of punishment.
He loves animals very much, while keeping aloof from society and peers, it is easier to establish contacts with adults.
Perfectly reads other people's emotions and intentions, which can sometimes be mistaken for telepathy or the ability to read minds.
Always knows what he wants and speaks about it without hesitation.
Phenomenally masters new knowledge, especially in the digital sphere, while relying mainly on intuition, rather than on classical teaching methods.
It is difficult for him to concentrate on one lesson for a long time.
Likes to break rules and prohibitions.
Favorite occupation - creativity.
In any, even the most difficult situation, he behaves self-confidently, does not concede.
Needs friendship or a reliable partnership, but at the same time feels comfortable being completely alone.

Children are usually very shy, avoid eye contact with strangers, and need constant support from their parents. But not those who are considered to be indigo children. Indigos seem mature beyond their years: a serious direct look, non-linear logic, the choice of authorities according to their own criteria, not always clear to others.

Harry Potter is often cited as an example of such a child, the magician boy from the famous book series by JK Rowling.

Signs of special behavior in a child can be detected quite early - literally from the age of three or four . And if a psychologist and a neurologist claim that your child is fine, can, indeed, contrary to the opinion of experts, admit that indigo grows in your family?

How to live next to indigo?

Prostock-studio/Shutterstock.com

How to build relationships with an indigo child, how to educate and educate him? There is good news and bad news for these parents.

The good news is that you may have a genius growing next to you who will change the world. The bad news is that you will never dominate him and cannot guarantee that he will not be an "evil genius". But let's sort it out in order.

Your child is a separate person from birth

Not your continuation, not a funny “baby”, not a reason for touching posts in social networks. He may be weak or helpless physically, but assume that he (or she) understands everything, and not just verbally.

The indigo child does not study in the classroom

Or at certain times allotted for it. It reads information from reality as a whole: it observes how you behave, how you speak, how you react to the world around you. So, you can’t watch a ridiculous TV series now, and in an hour read a book about quantum physics to him - he will unmistakably recognize falsity.

You are not an absolute authority for him.

Ordinary children cannot exist without the approval and recognition of their parents; for them, for a long time, the opinion of their father or mother is beyond doubt. Indigo children themselves choose authorities for themselves from the surrounding adults, and if there are none, then they live by their own rules, which they form for themselves.

Indigo children can be "uncomfortable"

Prostock-studio/Shutterstock.com

They will never follow commands or orders that could harm them, even if given by parents or loved ones.

They cannot be manipulated by referring to social norms or standards - they will always act in their own interests and according to their own internal code.

Indigo children do not need to worry

From an early age, they have a high potential for survival - physical, emotional and intellectual. You just need to show them as many possibilities as possible, they will determine how to use them most effectively.

But even if you don't think you can give your child much, don't worry, he (or she) can get what he or she needs on his own. Only they themselves can impose restrictions on their growth and development. Therefore, they are more likely than others to experience depression at different stages of their lives.

And a few more tips for parents:

Do not try to bring up an indigo child with a system of punishments and rewards. It doesn't work on him.
Do not demand and order, but ask and support. This is the only way to get the child to fulfill tasks and obedience.
Treat the child on an equal footing with adults. But do not fawn and do not dissemble - he will quickly “bite through” this.
Do not show aggression, irritability, anger towards a "special" child. They react very sharply to this because of their sensitivity and emotionality.
Learn to give in - so you will gain trust and authority in the eyes of the child.
Do not limit the freedom and choice of such a child. Indigo has a very developed sense of responsibility.

Do not overprotect the indigo child, but continue to keep him safe. To provide freedom without your control, use the Find My Kids app. With it, you will always know where your child is and what is happening around him without annoying calls, questions and SMS.

And finally…

Whether or not you believe in indigo children is up to you, of course. Moreover, perhaps you yourself are a member of the “Crystal Generation”. What should be considered in any point of view and in any circumstances?

First, even the most unusual features should be checked by a specialist in the beginning in order not to miss the first signs of mental illness or neurological disorders.

Secondly, a child or an adult - an indigo - is not a superman who can do anything. As one amazing book said, “A genius can really do anything, but only in what he is a genius at. And everything else is impossible, like everyone else. This means that respect for others - their features and boundaries - is above all.

Thirdly, an indigo child, even to a greater extent than a normotypical one, is important and must be accepted and recognized as he is.
