Intuition, Creativity, Auras & Chakras: Are You an Indigo Child? 

Yup, I can relate.

Why many spouses soon pass after their love passed.

True and hard to deal with sadly when you wake up and so many betrayed a HSP it can be devestatign and hard to come back from too. I feel you. 🙏

I’ve always thought Anna Nicole Smith died of a broken heart when her son died. She died approximately five months after he did.

Carrie Fisher-Debbie Reynolds

We turn ourselves inside out for others until there's nothing left in us. Selfishness is very healthy for us to rejuvenate. I treat myself to a spa day whenever I can.

Sounds just Like me. - I’m an indigo adult with all 17 also , it’s so hard to be here yet I love being here and jus want to be with my plants and cats and land and sea souls

As another AuDHDer, I had the same thought.

My thoughts exactly.

👏🏼🫶🏻👏🏼🫶🏻👏🏼

Agreed

Me too! I went from "gifted kid" to "emotional problems" to "highly sensitive person" to "indigo adult" to.... formal autism level 1 diagnosis :) turns out i'm just a person with some differing skills and different needs.

Thank God for great grandma's. I had one also and she was my life raft.

Such a great explanation "Attention was Dialed to a Higher Dimension". I don't have ADHD but i know those who do are very gifted

Yes!

I prefer loan Wolf over black sheep. Sheep are followers and I've been the cycle breaker in my family when it comes to abusive relationships. I moved out of home at 15. Growing up, in the 80s I was one of only a few living in a single parent household. My parents divorced when I was 18 months old, and my mum had been my primary caregiver, my dad thinking he could do a better job at raising me, kept me away from my mum for 3 months. My mum had witnessed physical abuse between her parents, so of course has her own mental health issues, which involved drug and alcohol abuse and me never knowing what mood my mum was going to be in and also witnessing her boyfriend after my Dad, being physical with her for 2 years. To cut a long story short, my childhood can't be explained as a happy one, hence moving out of home at 15. I was a mother at 2 months off 17 and when my son was 5 months old, I left his father, who was physically, emotionally, socially and financially, abusive towards me, and despite everyone thinking that I'd reconcile with him, I didn't as it meant far more to me that my son had a better life than that. I left the father of my younger 2 boys for similar reasons. He abused alcohol and drugs and when drunk would be verbally abusive towards me, so I kicked him out and have raised my 2 youngest boys on my own for the last 11 years. Not once did I move back home, but this is the 3rd time my mother has lived with me and it's been 12 years. She still self-medicates and puts me down, despite my leaving school at 15, and now having 2 diplomas and a bachelor degree to my name. I'm the only 1 in my family who has gone to University and the only one seeing a therapist to heal my childhood wounds, which are constantly being ripped open by my 3 parents (mum, dad and step mum who married my dad when I was 4, I'm now 46, you'd think after 42 years she'd class me as family wouldn't you?) I know it's because I scored 17/17 that I'm doing what needs to be done, in order to live an authentic life with purpose and meaning. I've got a Bachelor in Social Work, Diploma in Youth work and Diploma in Community Services. I'm a ThetaHealing, Compassion Key and Sound Healing Practitioner and a Breathless Breathwork Instructor. I'm highly intuitive, empathic and sensitive on all levels and I'm learning to give myself compassion and understanding, which is hard when you've never received from any parent. Geez, I didn't intend for this to be a mini bibliography. I know my story isn't unique, and for all of you Indigo/HSP/CPTSD/Neurodivergent/ Highly intuitive empathic souls, the world needs more people like us, who accept a person holistically and have time to be there for others, coz we know what it's like to suffer alone. Celebrate your weirdness and embrace standing out from the crowd. The reason youve never fitted in, is because you werent meant to blend in with the crowd, you wete meant to shine. People are drawn to us because we are authentic, and authenticity vibrates at the highest frequency. People admire us because we won't compromise our values in order to fit in and it's fear of being alone that holds them back from authenticity and living a life with meaning

that would be so great! a non- communal category undefined, non-kook aid drinking cult

Again with the ADHD… anyone want to back me up that ADHD IS often related to many of these traits and people can have both a psychiatric disorders and such metaphysical phenomenon ….it is a highly researched reality for many actual psychiatric disorders … there is unbelievable bias however. It’s pervasive (I am also bias I guess lol.. bc I was dx with ADHD at 53. ) The treatment changed my life tremendously . Still, I am intuitive and an “indigo” adult haha

being an empath is exhausting sometimes! However, finding out I was an empath gave me some relief and understanding.

I do not control my empathy with drugs but I do control it by staying away from people I am basically (mostly) a hermit. I have tried to block the feelings all my life so now i struggle to know how to talk to the few people i do love to help them. It does absolutely suck being an empath.

@@COSjultrakay I think I have add as well as being an empath but i do not believe only people with add or other things can see or feel energy. I think sensing energy is an instinct that all people have but it is subconscious and people ignore it and some like me feel it too strongly. If i do have add is not really bad my brain is just way way too busy and it exhausts and annoys me.

My son has diagnosed ADHD & ticks all the boxes and in his late teen years seems mildly autistic and his school diagnosed him as such but he has a lot of the indigo child traits too. Is it possible to be both or does his extreme personality, just make him seem ADHD? He tried the meds but they never seemed like they made much difference, so I discontinued them when he was young. The last few years he wanted them again & takes them religiously & is quite interested in them & how all these drugs work, like a dang pharmacist. He says they help him but I don't see an improvement in school performance etc. He just doesn't give a rip about expectations or authority. He's too smart for his own good, but someday he may change the 🌎.

@@idid138 he doesn't sound like he fits the characteristics for indigo, in my opinion, which is not professional. I'm sure he is wonderful and I hope he can find some thing that balances out his life. He has way too many things going on to be classic type indigo. for the record, I don't believe in pharmaceuticals and being an indigo child and having conditions that need to be medicated are entirely different things but yes, it would be possible to be both.

I respectively disagree a little. ADHD and autistic spectrum disorder are highly correlated with many of these traits, which are not necessarily negative. There is a theory out of the university of Virginia. I think that has studied individuals who have similar traits, and their correlation with Nuero divergency, specifically ADHD and autistic spectrum disorder..

@@COSjultrakay ADHD, and autistic children/people are considered low functioning and somewhat disabled capacity mentally. I'm not personally judging that scenario, just saying that indigo children are extremely bright, interactive, well-behaved, read very early and are exceptional old souls, so as you said, I respectfully disagree. this entire podcast and conversation is way off base when it comes to indigo

ADHD imo is a label to prescribe medicine. ADHD traits can be equated to a lot of things. Health, nutition, allergies etc...

What is a HSP ?

highly sensitive person @@LifeIsBetterWithLove

I know! This is so cool. I grew up watching her and now she’s speaking my language! 🤩

Your group probably disbanded because “Indigos” don’t follow through with tasks and find if difficult to get things accomplished

@reelincoln7747 I can't speak for all of them, but I have PTSD from various things, and that keeps me busy and tired. So I don't know.

I wish I could find people like that. It's hard to feel this much on your own. I feel whoever I date will have to understand that part of me

⁠@@reelincoln7747it’s OK to change your mind tooooo

I would have loved that chat room as a child unfortunately I was a 1990s baby so yuuuus before this would have been easily found

PLEASE CHECK INTO AUTSIM.... it sounds like autism and a neurodivergent brain.

Always had an animal in my life, I have far more critter friends than humans because they're real, no bill 💩. I'd love to know all they know.

Agreed! ❤🥂.

@@katiekane5247after tremendous betrayal I feel you!!!!

Thank you for the last sentence 😌

I really don't understand this statement. Indigo children are not notoriously difficult. In fact, they are quite mindful and intelligent

Also, not to nitpick, but that shirt is not indigo.. it’s more of a blue-green and indigo is blue-violet. Just sayin’

Oh my gosh, loved your comment, but that second one got me😂😂😂 Oh how we struggle with colors

Truly a gift and blessing, glad you're able to appreciate his gift

@@hatakekakashi517 he said yellow-green.

@@hatakekakashi517 green: healing, calm, connection with nature, empathy. Yellow: intuition, optimism, creativity, generosity, spirituality.

“My soul is very old and very tired” I felt that! 🥲😂❤

Maybe it was autism that you latched onto... because that's more "normal" these days.

Did you eventually get assessed for autism spectrum or adhd? Because what you described are traits. Too sensitive to noise, light, people, The asking too many questions that could get taken the wrong way is an autistic trait. It’s also seeking details within the information to understand.. a deep need to understand everything and not fitting in are relatable experiences.

@DanniBby I fought for 15 years to get tested, but didn't get a diagnosis. The test was showing traits, but my impulsiveness and hyperactivity didn't reach high enough. I absolutely think I land somewhere on the autism spectrum, but I compensate with other things. I did get diagnosed with obsessive compulsive personality disorder which I feel "dampens" the adhd traits. Luckily I now get occupational therapy, and I think it will help making routines to calm my daily living.

@@haten4 just so you know, hyperactivity isn’t always externalized, it could also be internally experienced, such as constant thoughts, feeling of restlessness, hyper verbal talking, impulse shopping. I know many people only think of it as something that can be seen from the outside but that’s a stereotype so they might have judged wether you have ADHD wrong. And there’s a video that Orion Kelly has on his channel about how OCD relates to autism spectrum. There’s videos YoSandySam has on her channel about how ADHD and Autism hide the other one’s traits.

@DanniBby Yes, I am aware of all this, but I can't really do anything about getting the diagnosis right now, but as long as I can get treatment for my problems, it doesn't really matter at the moment. It doesn't change that I still am about 90% sure I am on the autism spectrum. I only recently started to realize how much I mask and hide a lot of the traits, and they are starting to come out with certain (safe) people and situations. I have OCPD, which is different from OCD, although there is some similarity. But yes, the connection with autism spectrum seems glaringly obvious.

​@@haten4auto didactics are the way forward imo, university is for indoctrination more than knowledge

They are diagnosing a lot of people with autism. They just want to put a label on anything. You are not autistic

U sound so narcissistic

Indigo children are not autistic. That's thoroughly inaccurate

@@sbrooke210Indigo children are actually level 1 autism. The traits fit.

@@alternativetentacles1760 her interpretation and information is not accurate. So no, not true

@@sbrooke210 Wikipedia page states it’s pseudoscience from the 1970’s. And it most definitely is linked to modern diagnosis of adhd and autism. We have the DSM5 now that offers more concrete answers in clinical psychology. I accept my gifts come from being level 1 autistic. I’m glad my parents tried to give me a normal childhood and not tried to tell me I was an Indigo child.

@@alternativetentacles1760 indigo children are not autistic , that is preposterous. Traits can overlap but two different things entirely. So no.

It’s the first time you’ve heard about indigo children. And yet now that you’ve just heard of it your are in fact convinced that u urself are indigo. Do u realise how stupid u are you

😂 look at that ego

I’d love to hear!

@@Blahlalovely Thanks for asking! This is a short story about a 5-year old using the tools she learned at Spirit Camp to help her mom... Lily was a sensitive five-year-old who remembered a previous life, and talked openly with her parents about things that seemed way beyond her years. Her mom was a busy woman who juggled finding a balance between being a working mom and raising a family. One day, her mom came home from work exhausted and depleted. When Lily looked at her, she said, "Mom, why don't I check your chakras and align them before dinner? I think it might help you feel better." Her mom was surprised to hear her five-year-old daughter suggest nurturing her mom with a technique she learned at Spirit Camp. Her mom said, "How can one not be amazed when one realizes their child, who is in Kindergarten, is now capable of using her knowledge to help her parents feel better!"

I love that you do that. That’s wonderful. We all have unique gifts. Have you read ‘the child whisperer’ by Carol Tuttle? I highly recommend it. 💖

@@katiegreenwood8738 thank you for letting me know about the book. I will order it.

I would LOVE to know how you teach them to work with their energy. As a teacher and apparently an indigo child myself, I struggle so much with helping others. It's a life goal of mine.

🙏

How cool, where at?

Not referring to the sun, btw

I remember the TV show, “ The Outer Limits”. Loved it!

I feel your gift is a blessing too. Let me know if you picking up anything from this comment.. and while I might be a sarcastic person I am in fact serious about the question ❤❤❤😂😂😊😊❤

It can also be a painful curse. Knowing someone is going to die from a disease or the age/year they will die. My ESP was tested by a research scientist. Perfect score.

@@ericafrenk6747 I have never read someone from a photo or writing, I have only done in person. But I don't read anything of ill health.

@@lyndachele Wow, that's as accurate as it gets. Truly a blessing, not a curse.

I agree that it can be a curse ... I'm also a raw medical intuitive ... it's hard to "see" these things and people refuse to listen or be open to it until it's too late.

Same!

I agree, labeling of any sort needs to stop. It is only used because they need to categorize everyone to cause division.

Autism is also a label is it not!

@@katiegreenwood8738 autism spectrum disorder is a literal medical diagnosis, whereas “indigo child” really doesn’t mean anything lol it’s like a new age hippy term and I’ve heard many different variations of what it means because honestly anyone can say whatever they want it to mean to make themselves or their child fit into that category. It’s not science-based or real. I think the only benefit of the term is that it may provide some people with a brief sense of comfort.

I'm only halfway into the questions, but I was already thinking "this just describes many gifted folks!", especially sensitive, idealistic types. Like me. Edit: I'm back. Yup, it's all just about idealistic, introverted, sensitive, creative, independent-minded gifted people. I think "indigo" overlaps or describes a much older theory posited by the Polish psychiatrist/psychologist (he was both) Dobrowski, who said that gifted people really are _different_ and these differences are sometimes pathologized and misdiagnosed as ADHD, Autism, Bipolar, &/or Narcissism. A decade ago, I attended a fascinating day-long seminar at a local university by an expert in this and while everyone else (including some mental health professionals attending) were going "Really? That's a gifted thing? Who knew?", _I_ was saying "Yeah, of course, _that_ fits with most gifted folks I've known, including me. So that's a gifted thing, huh?...interesting...makes sense." The lecturer explained it is possible to be both gifted _and_ have other conditions, but she laid out which "symptoms" are just "gifted" quirks and which indicate a true "condition". It was pretty illuminating for all of us. I also learned about "existential depression" and another kind (I forget which) I'd never heard of that made _so_ much sense of my own depression which started at age 12. I highly recommend reading up on this and perhaps letting your gifted kids &/or their parents know. It may help them avoid being misdiagnosed and could help them not feel so "different in a 'less-than' way".

During electrical storms, plants sometimes react to the electrical fields caused by the storms by discharging tiny sparks of electricity. These sparks can create a faint blue haze known as a corona. Mary, the Mother of God, will surround us in the blue mantle of her prayers. A woman is not ready to 'give birth' until her cervix is dilated to the full measure of 10 centimeters. A soul is not ready to be 'born again' until the Holy Spirit dilated it to the full measure of the 10 Commandments. Keep in mind the eyes 'dilate' too. Pupil dilation also occurs when there’s activity in the part of our brain that helps us feel emotion. This may occur while we’re experiencing our own emotions as well as when we’re empathizing with someone else’s emotions. Proverbs 30:17 says the eye is the window to the soul.

You need to elaborate this is intereting

@kgonzalez8098 I found a lot by googling. Also try the phrases crystal children and blue children. Not to be that guy, but there are even genocidal connotations as such with people like Hans Asperger, which is another tangentially related but completely separate rabbit hole to explore which borders on the functioning labels and person first controversies, but is way more involved and has really sus history. It's even mentioned on the Wikipedia page about indigos.

This is true! I had a boss label me as an indigo child and use the cultural discourse around Indigo People to dismiss my valid accommodation needs as an autistic adult.

Yes, this! I used to run in those circles and was gaslit so many times about my disability. "You chose it before you came into this lifetime", "your thoughts created it" , "it's your karma" etc. I am neurodivergent but also have an invisible physical disability (or should I say, when people see me...which is when I'm well enough for the couple of hours to go out and interact). Ableism is rife in the new age community. What I also didn't know at the time was how many narcissists are in that community, as well as how many "empaths" (ie so many traumatized people who are spiritually bypassing). They attract each other, sadly. Or should I say, the narcs are predators and the empaths often victims. So many highly sensitive "empaths" are carrying childhood trauma and are hypervigilant, hence their extreme sensitivity and "ability" to read people. It all came to a head one day when I heard someone in a position of "leadership" say that another's parent had to be raped in order to fulfill their karma. WtheAF came out of my mouth and I shook my head awake. I had therapy before and still considered myself spiritual, but didn't realize I was still doing some spiritual bypassing of my own. I got more therapy and came to realize the difference between spirituality and magical thinking (sometimes still an ongoing process). How to recognize narcs, set boundaries and how to undo a lot of conditioning. I have had quite a number of precognitive dreams, lots of deja vu and other unexplainable incidents. But I would never call myself psychic or gifted in that respect. It's not at will and I can certainly be comfortable that there are many mysteries in this world without having to explain all of them. So many of these traits of so called indigo children - let's say so many can relate. Creative? Sensitive? Introverted? Strong onnection to animals? They're very general, and of course self identified. I've known wildly creative people who don't think they are, and others who scrapbook and think they are. I'm not the one to judge but creativity is a feature of humans. We tend to think of it as the arts, but I disagree. People can be creative in how they problem solve, for eg. Or even how they arrange their tools. I have a relative who has always thought they are an indigo adult. In fact, they are a malignant narcissist. (when I figured this out and showed all the info about malig narcs to other family members, they all agreed) New age is commercialized "spirituality". We are all special and unique. Yes, some are more gifted in certain areas than others - that can be a blessing and a curse. But do I personally believe in indigo children/adults? No.

You worth more than social media. That being said, maybe look up some videos on how to promote your work or get more views on your art. I joined some art pages on social media. They understand me much more than my family and friends. I'm sorry you feel so alone

Interesting... I appreciate & respect you for sharing your personal truths. Keep your mind & spiritually Positively Strong. 🥰🌟 Blessings to you 🙏🏼💝🌹

Instagram!!!!! It feels good when new people follow you. F facebook

Do not judge yourself or your creativity by how others view or appreciate it. Love yourself and the creative process so many people will never have or understand. Be the light in the darkness, keep being yourself..who cares about the rest!?

I'm clairvoyant and Empath I'm a healer.medical as well

@@Icare4uboo I’m also Clairvoyant, an Empath, a little bit of a Medium, and can do some healing using my energy. I’m a Starseed as well.

Isn't the starseed ideology like... Born out of antisemitism, white supremacy, and far right UFO occult?

My son is an indigo child turned to an addict. It's been a horrible life for him. He didn't know how to handle the energy he picked up from others. He is a natural born healer. Once he taps into it. He was asked to go to the Phillipines at a young age to be a healer and work side by side w a world healer. He was to young and we didn't have the money. Wished I had done it.

@@stayfit57 I’m so sorry 😢. It’s actually not uncommon for Indigo children to have a really rough time in life. I have battled depression off and on my entire life. I hope he finds the path that’s right for him. All Indigo children need is supportive friends and family along the way.

I’ve read a bit on the topic & crystal children are unique in the fact that they have no pressing need to communicate with “humans” b/c they have a direct connection to the creator. At this point in time are often labeled as Autistic. A new labeling system for individuals who don’t fit the norm 💜

@@naturalherbremedies1388 thank you for sharing! I will have to research that more as I am autistic and I was born in 1999 which is within the crystal generation.
