"See the Light within yourself and everyone else. Everyone has a beautiful light within them, no matter what they look like or how they act. This light is pure. The more you focus on the light within others, the more you can help them be healthy and happy."

HUMOR: THE LIGHTER SIDE OF LIFE

A New Teacher

A new teacher was trying to make use of her psychology courses. She started her class by saying, "Everyone who thinks you are stupid, stand up!"

After a few seconds, little Johnny stood up. The teacher was surprised, but realized this was an opportune moment to help a child. "Do you think you're stupid, Johnny?" she asked.

"No, ma'am," Johnny replied, "but I hated to see you standing there all by yourself!"

SO I'M AN INDIGO - NOW WHAT?

In honor of World Indigo Weekend, and the unveiling of the New Indigo documentary that delves into the practicalities of understanding and taking care of these sensitive children, I am reproducing a snapshot article that I had written last year after the first Indigo movie came out January 2005. This is also an adapted from the upcoming book: The Indigo Survival Guide)

In the last article , I introduced you to the world of the Indigos. I described their unique characteristics, and some of the challenges that they face coming into this world. If you resonate to the Indigo energy, wonderful! The trick now is figuring out how to BE an Indigo, amidst this rapidly changing world, as well as how parents and educators can better understand the Indigos among us.

Here is a ‘small’ shortlist of tips and strategies for parents, caregivers and educators:

1. Show them respect.

Indigos and even non-Indigos, especially children, are wise beings in small bodies and age. And treating them as equals is necessary for their well-being and process through life. If you don’t show it towards them or talk down to them, they will know it, resent it, and won’t show it to you. They come from the place of understanding that all beings are equal. And it’s important to acknowledge them in return.

2. Be fair and honest with your communication and behavior towards them.

Be direct in your communication without any guilt trips or manipulation tactics. Indigos are very intuitive and can sniff out deceitful behaviour or superficiality. It’s like a Beagle in an airport. You can’t put one over on them. So don’t even bother trying. Indigos are intelligent and usually show great maturity in comparison to their age. Try to give as complete and honest explanations for everything.

3. Always explain the Why’s to everything that you say and do.

Indigos do not accept the notion of blindly ‘doing’ things. ‘Because I said so’ will not work. They always need to know and understand why they are being asked to do something, and what the underlying purpose is. Otherwise it’s meaningless to them. So always explain, even in a simple form will do.

Acknowledge their abilities, sensitivities and knowingness.

Being intuitive and sensitive on many levels is normal for an Indigo. They are naturally tapped into multi-levels of awareness. It is part of who they are, and they consciously know it and show it. Do not discount or negate what comes out of their mouths. It is not in their imagination. Acknowledge and accept the ‘normalcy’, despite the fact that it may run contrary to what you believe or feel.

Be patient with their desire to be contrary.

This can be by far one of the most challenging. Far too often, having a child that is constantly ‘contrary’ can be misconstrued as ‘talking back’, ‘argumentative’ or ‘difficult’. To an Indigo, the purpose of their ‘contrary’ nature is not to be difficult, but actually reveal different angles or sides to a situation. Young children may not have yet developed tactful ways of expressing opposing viewpoints, and instead may just blurt things out and be emotional while they do it. So be patient, open and receptive. You just might end up seeing something new.

For the older Indigos, especially teens and adults, here are brief coping strategies that you can utilize:

Know you are here for a purpose.

Where you are going in your life may not totally be apparent at this time in your life. Being Indigo is about process, which includes awakening to it and transitioning from the recognition and into the active Be-ing of it. Your purpose and reasons for being here unfolds over time, and you have much to contribute. While there may be many, and I mean many, moments of frustration especially since your purpose may be not apparent, know that you need to hang in there. The Indigo process is like the bulb in the ground, you may not see the flower yet, but that does not mean nothing is happening underneath.

Your strong emotions ie. anger, frustration are often the impetus to change

I liken this to the bowling ball analogy. In order for the ball to roll, you need a force behind to push it and get it going.

Strong emotions are normal, however, understand that the expression of those emotions can be used to effect change and get something happening. It is equally important to bring yourself into balance as much as possible because the continuous roller coaster of emotion can be taxing. Take a walk, surround yourself in nature, meditate, use aromatherapy, and/or doing something creative. These are all effective in centering yourself, especially when you are waiting for the next tidal wave of emotion to hit.

NEWS YOU CAN USE

January 27 - 29 is officially World Indigo Weekend! And on Friday January 27 a new Indigo documentary will be unveiled worldwide. This is a sequel to Indigo, The Movie! which was shown in January 2005 and is a documentary that explores the lives of Indigo children from a spiritual, educational and scientific viewpoint. For more information on screening locations in your area, please go to http://www.theindigoevolution.com

PARENTS: I have received many emails asking about different resources on how to get their little Indigos/Crystal children to sleep. These SuperSensitive beings just love to stay awake and often will do just about anything not to go to bed. The following CDs came across my mail, and I've (and my own Crystal child) declared them to be winners in the relaxation category. Even though these children may still want to be awake, at the very least it will create a relaxing and peaceful environment so they can easily transition into sleep. Check them out:

I QUESTION AND CHALLENGE MY BELIEFS

"Words and beliefs have the power to change body chemistry. Think of how the words "I love you" make you feel. Examine your beliefs about yourself, the world, and the future, and determine if any of them need changing. Examples of irrational and self-defeating beliefs include "It is important for everyone to like me all the time," "I must be perfect in all that I do," "I shouldn't have to suffer," and "It is my fault that I am depressed."

Since upsetting feelings come from upsetting ideas, if you question and challenge the beliefs behind your uncomfortable feelings, you can become more and more free of negative emotions.

(Douglas Bloch, M.A.) Excerpted from: Beyond Prozac: A Holistic "Brain Maintenance" Program for the Treatment of Depression

SPIRITUAL "FITNESS" COACHING with OLENA

Question: What is the difference is between our Intuitive Guidance Sessions and Spiritual Coaching? Answer: The time involved, the depth of where you going and what you want to achieve.

Spiritual Coaching is a longer, more expanded version of our Intuitive Guidance Sessions. Rather than having a one-time informative session, spiritual coaching is about actually helping you expand yourself and connect Mind, Body & Spirit. This is partnership between yourself, the coach, and our intricate band of 'spirit' helpers. And by working with another who also has experienced spiritual growth, it is easier to grow and share yourself.

So - Are YOU ready to stretch and grow? Want to fly and figure our your next steps? Do you need help staying on track? Or do you feel that you have a purpose here, but don't know how to uncover it or what to do? Developing a personal plan, creating a vision, setting and achieving goals, staying on track, discovering your uniqueness, are just a small handfull of ways that we can help you to become spiritually "fit". Our 6-month coaching plans were designed specifically for all of these reasons, and more. For more information, visit IndigoCrystalCoaching and click on Coaching and What To Expect.
