My Story: A personal account of being an Indigo Child

By Daniel Brian Roth, BA
Creator of  Indigo Energy

    First off, I would like to thank the individual who sourced my website in the Indigo Children page on Wikipedia.com. I noticed an abundant increase of hits in the web statistics for IndigoEnergy.ca and was inspired to re-write my personal story as a result.

     Within the write up on Indigo Children in Wikipedia I noticed skeptics are saying that all children will demonstrate the behaviours listed in the “Indigo Child Quiz” but what they are not realizing is that a true Indigo Child experiences most of those traits simultaneously, continually, for their entire existence. Not just once and awhile.

     A.D.H.D does exist; however, a number of cases are misdiagnosed in children who need to learn to control their experience.

     I have a theory that the elder  Indigo people were born remembering more about how to control their experience on Earth as we are the ones who have to teach everyone else. For example, when I was six-years-old I can remember sitting in my Grade 1 classroom being totally aware of everything going on around me. I could hear everything at the same time…the clock ticking, others whispering, the birds outside, the sound a pencil makes against the paper when someone is writing, people walking in the hallway – everything.

     I was also highly intuitive, So, I always knew where the teacher was going with the lessons, being incredibly bored as a result, and I’m clairsentient. (I feel energy – literally.) If someone was feeling sick, I could feel their sickness. If someone was upset and crying I could feel their emotions.  Multiply that by 25 other students and a teacher, and add to that the constant noise around me; it would overload the untrained mind. But I was able to consciously separate and control everything.

     I just knew how to do it. What is unique about my situation is that I didn’t act out. I was shy, and didn’t like to be around groups of others…for obvious reasons - I was six and I needed an energetic break. But as more and more Indigo people entered the school system, higher frequency energy would come with them and made things tough to deal with. As a result kids act out because they cannot handle or process the energy.

     The easiest solution is to pump them full of drugs and they will be fine. Drugs may numb the pain of the constant bombardment of energetic and physical stimulation. But, aside from the physical problems which could develop after years of taking a suppressant-style medication, is that the only thing that this intuitive child learned is that it’s OK to take drugs for problems.

     It would be to everyone’s advantage for self-control to be taught. The brain can process extraordinary amounts of information, if we let it. Over the years I’ve learned to hone my skills.  I learned Reiki and I feel that this is an excellent practice for me as I feel energy.  Reiki is the channeling of higher frequency energy to bring balance to the situation or people around me. That skill combined with self-control result in me being able to do really cool things. I still hear everything and feel everything at the same time, but through meditation and visualization I have learned to use this to my advantage.

     I can sit in a bustling restaurant surrounded by people and servers and listen to eight, or 10, or 13 conversations simultaneously. Add to that I am intuitively picking up the physical attributes and emotions of my fellow diners. That is followed-up with psychic flashes of what is going on in the lives of all these people.  And to the average person sitting near me it would merely look like I am quietly perusing the menu, or daydreaming. I can talk while doing this but it slows down the process significantly.

     I have re-written my piece on Indigo Children to get people excited about helping their kids advance in society, not to fight the critics or skeptics – they can say whatever they want. The proof is there to support what I am saying, but to find it they will need to look outside the box.    

    What’s different, and probably surprising, about me is that I’m not overly understanding with other Indigo Children when they cannot control their demeanor. If I teach show a youngster, usually a teen, how to control their emotions and sensitivities, and they don’t adhere to my advice I will use those same tools against the energy they are putting out to show them how to behave. The result is similar to the one the boy had in the store.  I guess you can say I teach through example…

     Remember the point of indigo Children being here now is to enforce change in all aspects; regardless of what is done to suppress these people…Change will come inevitably. For now it is best to learn how to deal with the existing energy issues and help the Indigo people adapt to the tumultuous existence on this routinely negative planet.      

Indigo Children, the Next Step in Human Evolution

Written by Jan Yordy, M Ed., MSW, Certified Play Therapist    

     There is a new type of child with distinct characteristics which therapist, teachers and other professionals working with children are increasingly recognizing. These children are more highly evolved with an expanded consciousness, sensory awareness and are intuitive, creative thinkers. Because they are right hemisphere dominant they tend to think in a nonlinear, holistic way grasping the meaning and significance of information quickly. This style of thinking creates a child who can think outside of the box and who may not easily conform to rules and regulations he/she sees as non-productive.

     Approximately four years ago I read my first book on Indigo children and was surprised to notice that many of the typical characteristics of an Indigo child resonated with how I had experienced my daughter. The more I read and understood about these children, the more I recognized the many Indigo children I was currently working with in therapy. Since that time I have had many amazing teachers but my most significant teachers have been my own son and daughter who are both beautiful Indigos in their early 20’s.

     Learning that my gentle, artistic son was also an Indigo was an important lesson in helping me recognize the many flavours and varieties of Indigos. While there is incredible variation in Indigos themselves, there also are some similarities which help to pick out these special children. Here is a brief summary of some of the frequent characteristics that I have seen and experienced:
• May be strong-willed, independent thinkers who prefer to do their own thing rather than comply with authority figures/parents
• Have a wisdom and level of awareness and caring beyond their youthful experience
• Traditional parenting and discipline strategies don’t appear effective with these children. If you try to force an issue, a power struggle is the typical outcome
• Energetically Indigos are vibrating at a higher frequency so they can get scrambled by negative energy (human or machine)
• Emotionally they can be very reactive and may have problems with anxieties, depression or temper rages if not energetically balanced
• Are creative right brained thinkers but may struggle to learn in a traditional left brained school system
• Often Indigos are diagnosed as having ADD/ADHD since they appear impulsive (their brain can process information faster) and they require movement to help keep them better focused
• Indigos are very intuitive (often psychic) and may see, hear or know things that seem unexplainable
• Indigos tend to be more visual, kinesthetic learners so remember best what they can picture in their brain and create with their hands
• Indigos have more problems with food and environmental sensitivities since their system is more finely tuned
• When their needs are not met, these children appear self centered and demanding although this is not their true nature
• These children have incredible gifts and potential but may be shut down when not properly nurtured and accepted

     In therapy I often have Indigo children referred because they are having trouble managing their emotions. Some come because of anxiety problems and may have developed obsessive compulsive behaviors or suffer from panic attacks. Others appear to be significantly depressed and may be self harming or talk about not wanting to live any more. Some Indigo children are brought because they have anger and rage problems which have no reasonable explanation and can be very frightening to parents. Another group of children come to therapy because they are very bright children but are struggling to learn in traditional ways. Frequently these children have very low self esteems and will give up on trying to complete their school work.

     For many people it may appear confusing that all of these different emotional or learning problems are connected to a new type of child. The way I have begun to make sense of their extreme difficulties is to look at what is happening to these children at the energetic level. As mentioned previously Indigo children are vibrating at a higher energy frequency pattern. For people who see energy, this vibrational pattern is often seen as an Indigo colour in their aura and also within their physical body. This higher vibration creates differences in the way their body and brain function.

     All of the Indigo children I have met are right brained thinkers. When stressed these children develop a brain organizational pattern which shuts down the logical, rational thought processes and increases the emotional reactiveness. Depending on the child, this could be acted out as anger, sadness or fears and anxieties. How the parents/teachers respond energetically will either help the Indigo to regain their balance and control or to escalate out of control. Once emotionally triggered, it can take a significant time for this sensitive child to regain composure. Some children eventually become stuck in a perpetual negative energetic state know as psychological reversal.

     Functioning in this stress mode where the child is literally thinking with half of his brain’s capacity also contributes to learning blocks since the child is not able to adequately access the left, language/communication hemisphere of the brain. The left side of the brain is also the executive control center of the brain so is vital in helping children control impulses and maintain focus. It is interesting to note that many Indigo children are being diagnosed with ADD/ADHD and placed on Ritalin or some other form of medication. Perhaps we need to work more at re-patterning the brain (Brain Gym) to facilitate shifting out of an inefficient, stressed brain organizational pattern instead of medicating them to cover up their symptoms.

     Not every child with emotional, learning problems or ADHD is an Indigo child but it may be helpful when working with children in therapy to consider whether they contain a lot of these Indigo characteristics. Understanding some energy basics and being able to detect when a child is energetically unbalanced may be especially helpful in therapeutic work with these new Indigo children. It is important to teach the Indigo child and their parents energy balancing techniques and how to get the body out of the stress mode. Grounding the child’s energy as well as teaching them protection techniques so they don’t take on negative energy is also extremely helpful for these sensitive energy beings.

     In therapy I often encounter parents who are struggling to understand and parent this new type of child. Some parents are frightened by behaviors they don’t understand or find themselves locked in power struggles with their strong willed child.

     Indigo children are here to help change outdated systems and relationship patterns and require us to interact with them in new and creative ways. Parents of these powerful, spirited beings need support and insights to let go of traditional ways of parenting to develop more respectful, cooperative relationships. Taking time to explain things to Indigos plus really listening to why something is important to them enhances our awareness of their thinking process and deeper purpose. Flexibility, openness and honesty are other qualities which enhance the development of relationships which nurtures the soul of the Indigo child.

     One of the most important things we can do as therapist is to educate ourselves about this new type of child who is here to help bring in a new age of peace and love. There are currently five books, numerous websites as well as a new video called Indigo Child, the Next Step in Evolution. The video contains interviews with parents, educators and the Indigo children themselves which will inform and enlighten those who come in contact with these special beings.
