Indigo Adults

What is an Indigo Adult?

The Indigo's are a group of souls who were born on Earth over the past century or so. In the 1970s and 80s, a major wave of Indigos was born, so we have a whole generation of Indigos who are now in their early/mid thirties who are about to take their place as leaders in the world. However if you were born before the 70s and this stuff resonates with you, you are still an Indigo adult. There have always been Indigos, they were the ones who stood out or were ahead of their time.

The term 'Indigo' was originally used by psychic Nancy Ann Tappe, who noticed that the aura's of this group of people were Indigo in colour.

From Doreen Virtue's article on Indigo and Crystal children:

"Indigos have a warrior spirit, because their collective purpose is to mash down old systems that no longer serve us. They are here to quash government, educational, and legal systems that lack integrity. To accomplish this end, they need tempers and fiery determination."

...though the Indigo purpose is broader than this, this quote does capture a little of what it's all about. Indigos are warrior spirits, but are also sensitive under their armour. A fun combination :) It's all connected to the New Age, 2012 and Ascension - that's why we are here, to change the World.

Yes, really.

Are you an Indigo Adult? Here my own list of Indigo characteristics, based on what has already been written but in a way that makes more sense to me, with some of my own additions.

Indigo Adult Characteristics:

Are very intelligent and perceptive, but did not achieve top grades at school due to boredom or frustration at the restriction or repetitious nature of lessons. May either have rebelled, or may have become introverted and 'hidden' and complied through fear of standing out.

Always question, especially when very young – always need to know WHY you're being asked to do something, always wanting to know the point. You were therefore thought of as 'difficult'.
Have experienced depression or anxiety, feelings of helplessness and deep anger at the world or even yourself for being different. Suicidal feelings stemming from a lack of understanding of your place in the world. Will probably have taken medication for your condition at some point.

May also have turned to drugs or alcohol as a coping mechanism, a way of escaping a world that feels so out-of-kilter to you.

May have been born into a difficult family situation, or even an abusive one. Or, may have problems relating to the family you were born into, feeling like the 'black sheep' of the family. They may not understand you and dismiss you as being 'weird'.

Tried to fit in and run with the crowd by making friends, doing 'normal' things but all the while feeling out of place and not knowing why.

Have issues with any sort of authority being imposed, either through school or work. Indigos do not 'do' authority.

Work very well on your own and often prefer a lot of time in their own company. May be seen as a loner or anti-social because of your self-reliant abilities.

Have a lack of intolerance and no patience with what's perceived as 'stupidity'.

Will have a deep sense of superiority when young (or unaware). Indigos are often said to feel and act like Royalty because of this. Really, this is because of your deeper levels of 'knowing' and feeling so different.

When young may show a complete lack of emotional shielding – crying at the drop of a hat for example. Will be hurt (emotionally) very easily and may be perceived as over sensitive. Or will be completely the opposite. Either are possible depending on the individual's coping mechanisms.

Have problems controlling your anger and rage before they remember who they are. Will be strong willed and defiant.

Will challenge systems you perceive as obsolete or 'broken', e.g. politics, education, health systems. Will have little interest in politics because you feel your voice doesn't count. Feel angry at being 'watched' by Big Brother or having rights restricted. Have a sense that organised religion is inaccurate but cannot explain why – it's a 'knowing'.

Will feel frustration and will reject social 'norms' such as marriage, family, 9-5 job etc as they are too restrictive for your energy.

May be perceived as argumentative or radical because you challenge these norms.

Have a strong sense of 'mission', want to change the world and may become involved in activism of some kind.

Probably did not have any like-minded Indigo role models growing up, and may have felt alone and misunderstood.

Have strong intuition and deep empathy for others.
Had psychic experiences when young such as seeing spirits etc. may have shut down this ability due to fear and lack of understanding. May have had telepathic experiences. Will probably have had 'imaginary' friends in childhood.

May have been diagnosed with ADD/ADHD. May want to finish other peoples sentences because you know what's coming before they do. May jump around in conversation. Focusing on one task at a time may be a challenge.

May also be dyslexic or have other so-called learning difficulties. This does not reflect your true level of intelligence.

Electro sensitive – make lights flicker or watches break. PCs may crash, especially if you experience a strong emotion. May have other environmental issues such as food intolerances and being sensitive to other people's energy, may take on other's emotional reactions without knowing it. May feel dizzy or sick in a 'negative' situation.

Have a deep sense of truth – you can't lie to an Indigo. Doreen Virtue says that an Indigo can sense dishonesty like a dog can sense fear. Indigos will often speak as they find because of this. Will also bring out truths in others, especially ones that have been buried deep within. You may find people pour their hearts out to you at the drop of a hat.

Will sense hidden agendas, injustices, emotional blackmail or passive aggression and will not tolerate this treatment. Will also not tolerate mistreatment of others, whether animal or human.

May have natural healing abilities, and the ability to 'know' what is really causing a person's dis-ease.

Are deeply affectionate and will be 'huggers', though you may have built up barriers around you as a coping mechanism. When you let these barriers down you are very affectionate.
Not everyone will be comfortable in your company because of the huge capacity for love and the energy you emit. You have huge capacity for compassion.

Age is of little relevance, when young you will be wise beyond your years and when older you will look younger than your Earth age.

You often feel like a stranger in a strange land. But – you are not alone. When you connect with more of your soul kin, life gets easier. I promise!
