For 10 years now, the term indigo children refers to children who represent a higher stage of human evolution in the context of the New Age era. The partidari of this hypothesis argue that this upper part of evolution is the protagonist of a spiritual, ethical and mental progress. A kind of race whose mission is to challenge the established system.
"At the end of the Second World War, indigos began to emerge, increasing numerically during the 70s and 80s," explains psychologist Esther Morales Leon. By this time, many of these young people have reached adulthood. Such adults, now, they don't know if they belong to this group or not; therefore, they have problems understanding each other and managing their emotions.
Dr. Morales Leon clarifies that the task of the "indigo people" is to accept, appreciate and discover what their mission in life is, setting in motion all the talents they have from birth and their high level of awareness. "All these elements favor planetary evolution," says the psychologist. Today we will share with you the main characteristics of "indigo adults".
“The soul is what we live, feel and think for”.
(Aristotle)
Indigo adults feel different from others
The personality of the "indigos" is based on high sensitivity, intelligence and creativity. These individuals, therefore, love to create objects and experiences, releasing a strong empathy with the environment that surrounds them. Nonetheless, they feel different from others and struggle to adapt to the imposed model of social life.
It is difficult for them to understand the gestures of others made with reluctance or with little effort and they can't handle the anger and rage that comes with it. They prefer to work alone and be leaders; they also know how to cooperate in a group, but, even in this context, they prefer individuality.
They perceive lies and untruths more easily
It is clear that no one loves lies, however small they are. We do not like others to decide what we should and should not know. The "indigo" people, having a highly developed sense of justice, they dislike lies and untruths when they have to relate to those around them and to themselves. They perceive sensations that others do not detect, therefore they are more intuitive, they easily understand situations that are foreign to them and it takes very little time to realize that something is not right.
Wendy Chapman, American writer of several books related to this topic, gives us some other ideas thanks to the results of her research: «Indigos are intelligent, even if they do not necessarily have received the highest grades. They always need to know the "why" of things, especially when they are asked to do something. When they went to school, they got annoyed and even hated most of the repetitive jobs they were forced to do. "
They are spiritual people when it comes to improving the world and their inner self
From an early age, "indigo" people have a great awareness of themselves, thus being able to be intuitive and perceive many more things compared to the other. They have innate inner wisdom and develop abstract thinking from childhood. They also have a strong ability to achieve everything they dream of and propose. Consequently, they need to be active in order to carry out actions that help them improve the world and change it, even if they may encounter obstacles in identifying their path.
The conscious search for inner happiness as a daily priority is a hallmark of highly sensitive people, capable of understanding life, as in the case of "indigos". Understanding the world through spirituality, the feelings that the people we love give us and self-help advice are fundamental elements in everyday life.
They have psychic experiences
There are those who argue that "indigo" children enjoy paranormal abilities, such as telepathy, the ability to read minds, empathy or a keen creativity. The name "indigo" derives from the belief that these possess an aura of the same tonality.
When we talk about psychic experiences, we refer to premonitions, extra-sensory experiences and "hearing voices". There are many who believe that certain people have the ability to connect with other dimensions, to perceive the energy around them, to create mental visualizations, to dream of future situations and to have imaginary friends.
They are highly sensitive people
"Indigo" people have an extremely sensitive emotional personality, they express their feelings at the first opportunity or do the exact opposite, that is, they do not even show the shadow of an emotion. Sexually they are very expressive or reject sexuality out of boredom or the desire to reach a higher spiritual connection. They seek the meaning of their existence, their vital mission and understanding of the world.
Obviously, we don't feel the same way every day and, fortunately, we can count on various mechanisms that allow us to express what we experience. The problem lies in the magnitude of the oscillation of our emotional state. Due to the high sensitivity developed both with one's own emotions and with those of others, "indigo" people can fluctuate from sadness to utter despair.
"The human body is nothing but appearance and it hides our reality, the reality of the soul."
(Victor Hugo)
