Some years ago, I was called by the principal of a local high school. She called me to find out whether I treated "Indigo Children". I had never heard of this term, but I gave it some credibility since she appeared well-versed on the subject. I did some cursory research which was interesting. Fast forward about five years, and the clinician with whom I was doing a training, had this focus as her specialization. After a year of some training by her, and reading extensive literature, I began to contact a few clinicians at Harvard and several other universities. While they did not use that specific term, they discussed with me the fascinating history.
At one point, after I was convinced of the efficacy, I had a conversation with my daughter who was then about 27. She agreed with some resistance to view a documentary with me, so that I could share my interest. I made the ultimate parental mistake of watching her reactions very closely, and mentioned I was certain that she was in that category (and still am!). Well, that led to her censure of this, calling "Indigo" a "label". While the documentary addressed that very subject, I was a little cranky about her view.
No less than a week had gone by, when I read about that very debate in the professional circles who were actively researching it! It seemed that she had highlighted the controversy immediately! Well, I never called her an "Indigo" again, but still kept my sense that this group had to have some sort of identification in order to study and investigate. But I never use the term any more without giving silent credence to my daughter's wisdom, and prefacing it with, "Well, some people fell that....". You get it.
Since then I remain acutely involved and interested....so for starters let me provide a little "new" history....for there is actually much before that.
time, and many have contributed much to our advancement- some were famous, many were not. All were unique and gifted.
The current heavy surge of Indigo Children arrivals have manifested in five distinct and discernable decants or generations of one decade each. Each generation has distinguishing characteristics,
auric veils, and Awakening/Saturn’s Return years.
Generation One (Alpha): Born between 1958-1968. Born with blue-green-violet overlays, camouflaged with tans. Saturn’s Return/Awakening years for this generation were 1986-1996. (Age 28 for each year.) This generation is now in their Post Awakening years, and is in the process of rediscovering and recovering their Gifts. Some are currently transiting into their
Octarine phase.
Generation Two (Beta): Born between 1968-1978: This generation also came in with the blue-green-violet overlay, but without the tan camouflage. The Saturn’s Return/Awakening years for this generation were 1996-2006. This generation is also Post-Awakening.
Generation Three (Gamma): Born between 1978-1988: Here is the first generation of minimally overlaid Indigos. If they have an overlay at all, it is generally violet, with some appearances of
Crystal/Octarine. This is where some of the earliest manifestations of apparent ADD and ADHD in Indigo children began. Saturn’s Return/Awakening for this generation will be from 2006-2016.
Generation Four (Delta): 1988-1998: The first of the ‘pure’ Indigos with no color overlay at all- only the highly chameleonic Crystal/Octarine. These are the ‘wildest’ of the apparent ADD/ADHD group, and Guidance states that it is possible that it is the rapid-fire overstimulation by the public media of this time acting on the crystal overlay that is driving the Indigo child to distraction. Suggestions of the use of slower rhythms and deep, warm colors in their environment, rather than the use of drugs, may stop these ‘oscillations’ that make them ping off the walls, and give the Crystal/Octarine element in their overlays something to use for grounding. This will also soothe the Indigo child when he/she is overstimulated by the noisy, flashy environment. It will also make their transition into adolescence smoother- this group will have the hardest puberty, and, if not carefully monitored, the highest drug/alcohol and suicide rate of all the cohorts. For this group, Saturn’s Return/Awakening will be from 2016-2026.
Generation Five (Omega): 1998-2008: According to my Guidance, this will be the last decade of pure Indigos, and the end of the major cohorts. They may have as many difficulties in
acclimitizing themselves to the environment as the Delta generation, and depending upon the local conditions, may have an extremely difficult childhood. Many of these Indigos will be born of earlier Indigos, and some will be reincarnations of Alpha and Beta generation Indigos who chose to leave early.
Depending upon local conditions, this generation will experience its Saturn’s Return/Awakening from 2026-2036. Other elements may speed up or back off the time table. The number of people of the Indigo ray will drop off sharply during this generation. They will still be born, but not as frequently.
If you are a Beta generation Indigo Children , on the verge of or are presently in the midst of your Saturn’s Return period, this guidance should help you. It is very rare to see a fully Awakened person under the age of thirty. For Indigos, this difficult time serves to strip away the overlays and camouflage, and reveal to them their true potential and psychic capabilities. The transitory period for an Indigo is generally longer than that of a normal person- sometimes up to three years. Indigo Children may feel totally naked without their overlays, and if they do not understand what is happening to them, they may panic and think they’re going mad. Careful direction, close peer contact, and compassionate guidance is essential during these vulnerable times. You will make it, and wonders will await you on the other side of this passage.
A note: These dates and generations aren't set in concrete. If you were born before 'Alpha', that doesn't diminish your status at all. There were just fewer of you around. There will always
be Indigo Childrens in the population, but sometimes there are more than other times.
