Who Are the Indigo Children?

And why are they here?

Who Are the Indigo Children

There is a group of people that are often talked about in metaphysical circles, and their identity is shrouded in mystery. They are known as the Indigo children. Some say they are the next step in human evolution, while others claim they are here to save the world. So who are these special beings? And what is their mission? To answer these questions, we first need to take a closer look at what Indigo children are said to represent.

Who are the Indigo Children?

This is a question that has been asked by many people, as well as one that has been the topic of much debate. There are many different opinions on who the Indigo children are and what they represent. Some say that they are a new kind of human beings who are here to help lead the world into a new age of enlightenment. Others believe that they are a sign of the end times and that they are here to help clean up the world’s messes.

What is known for sure about Indigo children is that they are different from other children.

Common traits among Indigo children are said to be:

• born with a feeling of royalty (and often act like it)
• have difficulty with discipline and authority and can be seen as defiant and rebellious
• question everything and do not like to be told what to do
• treat adults as equals and expect to be treated as such
• often see better ways of doing things, both at home and in school
• have an innate sense that they deserve to be here and that the world is theirs
• tend to struggle with rigid systems (hierarchy, sexism, rules, etc.)
• display exceptional creativity and passion

• are more advanced than previous generations: read earlier, study longer and learn faster — early talkers or walkers who mature quickly through all developmental stages from infant to teenager.
• remember past lives and have a higher understanding of other dimensions and reality
• are often misdiagnosed with ADD/ADHD, Dyslexia, and other disorders or learning disabilities. They may be labeled as “behavioral problems,” particularly if the child is spirited and has trouble paying attention to boring adults in authority.
• Because the Indigo child concept is based on aura colors, it’s not likely that anyone but a psychic would be able to identify them.
• Indigo children are intuitive, empathetic, spiritual, and have a deep sense of knowing.
• They are born knowing and feel they are unique and should stand out from the crowd to be recognized for their special abilities.
• Indigos possess an uncanny ability to read people and situations; they know when things aren’t right in their presence and will react strongly when in an environment that is essentially negative or inauthentic.

Who Discovered the Indigo Children?

The term “Indigo children” was coined by Nancy Ann Tappe in the 1970s to describe a new generation of children who she believed were exhibiting special characteristics. According to Tappe, these children were different from other kids because they possessed an innate intuition and wisdom that set them apart from their peers.

Nancy Tappe was an American self-proclaimed psychic who first started noticing the special characteristics of Indigo children in the 1970s. Tappe also gave seminars around the country where she taught parents and teachers how to deal with Indigo children, who often appeared troubled.

The term Indigo children relates to auras and their colors. Tappe, who said she could see auras, discovered that this group of children had a different color aura than any other children: indigo. Her belief is that the first of the Indigo children were born, starting around 1958.

The subject of Indigo children was then further popularized by the book The Indigo Children: The New Kids Have Arrived by Lee Carroll and Jan Tober.

Why Are the Indigo Children Here?

There are many different beliefs about why the Indigo children are here and what they represent.

Some people believe that Indigo children are a new kind of human beings who are here to help lead the world into a new age of enlightenment. They are here to raise the collective vibration of both children and adults, which will lead to world peace.

According to this theory, Indigo children are “cosmic” beings whose purpose is to bring us up to their level. They carry high vibrations (energy) and are able to pick up on this energy faster than adults who have lower vibrations. Because they can do this, they possess psychic abilities that allow them to predict the future or know things without being told by others.

What About Indigo Adults?

Since the first of the Indigos were thought to arrive around 1958, many are now in their sixties. Some of the first Indigos are reaching retirement age and beyond. Several Indigo adults, who were once labeled as “troubled,” have gone on to become some of our most respected social activists, artists, doctors, and authors.

Indigo adults are inherently rebellious and can often be found challenging the status quo. They are alchemists, healers, shamans, prophets, and teachers.

They also tend to gravitate toward one another; many believe that Indigos only feel truly fulfilled in relationships with other Indigos.

Indigo adults have a strong sense of self-worth and do not take well to being told what to do. In the Indigo worldview, everyone is equal and should have equal opportunities, regardless of their heritage or color of their skin.

In addition, they also believe that there is no “higher power” per se; instead, they often look for God in nature (i.e., trees, sunrises, etc.). They are very community-oriented; they don’t like to live alone and tend to live lives filled with meaning by helping others through artistic means (writing, painting, music) or professions where they can be of service (medicine, law enforcement).

Conclusion

It’s been over 50 years since the first Indigo children were discovered, and they are still an enigma. With no concrete answers to their origins or purpose on this earth, it seems likely that we will never know why these kids think differently than their peers. What do you think: are you an Indigo, or do you have an Indigo child?
