INDIGO PARENT GROUP

Since April 2000, several email discussion groups have been started by Karen Eck (contributor the Indigo Children book) relating to “Indigo children.” Among these, the Indigo parents group was established for sharing personal stories and discussing issues of health, education and parenting. This sampling of anecdotes from around the world. were posted by parents over the past few months and are being offered here with their permission. They are meant to give you a view to the gifts, hopes and and challenges these children are bringing to all of us:

PORTRAIT OF A MILLENNIAL CHILD HANNAH:

Hannah and Laura of London, England, twins, 4 yrs. 8 mos. old: Firstly, from the moment I knew I was pregnant I dreamt I was having twins, so the scan wasn’t a surprise. From conception, literally, their presence was felt—and it was far from easy. For twenty-four weeks I threw up morning, noon and night and eventually had to have medication. I ate almost nothing but baked potatoes. The pregnancy was a nightmare, especially as they shared a placenta, and I was hospitalized for keeps once they managed to arrest premature labour at thirty weeks. I lasted until thirty-four weeks, went into labour again and was given a Caesarian as they were both breech. They each weighed just over 5lbs. Hannah was resuscitated at birth and again about three days later. They were tube fed and had a few other minor complications, but after a week they were going it alone. The girls used to stare and stare at each other in absolute wonder. The nursing staff said such thing as, “These babies are from another planet;” “they are a special gift from God;” “those twins make me cry just looking at them;” “they give me goose bumps, there’s something amazing about them.” Frankly, tube feeding two babies every two hours, plus expressing milk, I was too tired to really appreciate them.

David of Berlin, Germany, 8 years old: In the sixteenth week of my pregnancy when I was having an ultrasound, the doctor said: “Hey, look, what he is doing. He is trying to do something with his hands.” You could see that this little being in my womb was making a strong effort to move his fingers to show us something. Then suddenly the doctor called, “Look, he is making the Victory-sign! That is incredible! But he IS! Look!” The doctor was laughing very happily. So was I. It was not only that David was showing us the Victory-sign, but the energy touching us when he did that was really beautiful. It was a strong and happy energy.

When I gave birth to David, it was also special. At one point I had the feeling that I could not go on; there was no power left to continue giving birth to him. I felt like I would die. I said, “David, please help.” Immediately he slipped out of my body. I realized that there had been two doctors and two nurses with me. Normally there is just a midwife and nurse. Help was needed and it was given to us. Later I was informed by higher sources, that THEY had guided all, even his birth. They also informed me about David’s importance in later life.

After he was born, the hospital staff forgot about us so we had the opportunity to stay with each other without being disturbed with washing and medical check-ups. David watched me in a very intense way for some minutes! He was constantly looking at me—and into me. We both looked into each other’s eyes. Then, back home, of course, we spent endlessness times sharing with each other by looking into each other’s eyes. David is a VERY OLD, VERY WISE SOUL.

Savannah of Linden, Michigan, 4 years old: My husband and I had been told it would probably take three to six times before we would conceive a child, but we conceived Savannah immediately without the help of fertility drugs . . . Savannah weighed eight pounds eight ounces when she was born. We were in room eight in the hospital. My research told me that eight is the number of rebirth . . . When she was born, she held her head up right from the get go. She has always been strong, even though she’s not real big.

Victor of Zurich, Switzerland

Victor of Zurich, Switzerland, 7 years old: Two month before my pregnancy I went to a “fortune teller” for the first time in my life. I waited until I felt now is the right moment and this is the right person. Among other things, she told me that after two months I would become pregnant with a very special son. She then described his character and health problems (like allergies). I was VERY astonished because I was not married and didn’t intend to get pregnant. I didn’t believe in what she said about a baby.

When I learned that I was pregnant, I instantly had a very close feeling towards my child. I felt the soul that would be coming into my life and instantly knew the names I would give (Victor as a boy, Lani, which means heaven in Hawaiian, as a girl).
Two days before his birth I wrote into my diary: “I think this child doesn’t want to come out down here, too much work.” Although I prepared everything for a so called “gentle birth” with music, low lights and gentle voices . . . After thirty-six hours of pains they had to fetch him with C-section.

From the beginning we had a very close relation to each other. We felt when the other didn’t feel well. Yes! He too felt when I wasn’t well. Even when he was sleeping, I could awake him with my thoughts. I knew this was a very big responsibility coming to me.
In spite of the close relationship, more and more I had the feeling that he didn’t like to be here. As an infant he was crying all the time, waking four to five times per night (for fourteen months). From month to month, each time he could do something more HIMSELF, he seemed to like it a little bit more “down here.” I imagined that he was thinking, “Oh no, not once more beginning an incarnation on earth!”

Noah of Fairfield, CT, 20 months: I knew he was special right from my pregnancy, and boy did he make his presence known. He kicked me a lot, and now that he is out his feet have never stopped. He was tens days late and came by C-section. He is our first child. Now that he is here I can understand his lateness. He likes to do things on his own time, and when he wants to do something, it is usually his way.

Ashley of Boston, MA, 5 years old: When I was pregnant with Ashley I was sick all the time. At seven weeks, I started to bleed and was told that it was a miscarriage in progress and to go home and wait. There was nothing I could do. I went home and thought there is no way I’m giving up this child and I knew that she had no plan of leaving me.

WOMB and BIRTH MEMORIES:

Savannah of Linden, Michigan, 4 years old: Savannah says she remembers that when she came to me, there was a man and other babies, and the man took her to the stairs.
She told me that in my tummy, the “rope” bothered her, and when she came out she saw daddy “cut the blue rope.” Recently she recalled going to the doctors. “It was all white and the doctor had something over his mouth and you could only see his eyes.” The only time she’s been in the hospital was when she was born.

I asked her once how I was so lucky to have such a wonderful little girl. She informed me that she picked me. She told God she wanted me as her mom and God gave her to me. When I tell her she’s getting to be a big girl, she tells me, “Don’t worry, I’ll be a baby again.”

ALLERGIES, HEALTH & DIET:

Hannah and Laura of London, England, Identical twins

Hannah and Laura of London, England, twins, 4 yrs. 8 mos. old: They had raging colic for twelve weeks, screaming themselves purple from six at night till one in the morning. Only very recently have I stopped getting up to them about eight to ten times a night (it’s now down to about four) despite trying more things than I care to count.

Ashley of Boston, MA, 5 years old: Ashley never stops moving. She has been diagnosed ADHD, but is also being tested for digestive problems. From what I have been told this can have a lot to do with behavior problems. . . . She was also one of the Indigos that was born screaming. She would go into fits and scream for the whole day. Luckily she slept through the night. She also had problems with reflux and pyloric spasms. They gave her Zantac and Propulsid at six months. It helped a little. She stopped breathing quite a few times as a baby and I rarely slept through the night. I would hear a tiny gasp and jump from bed to find her thrashing in the crib and not breathing, a quick flip and whack on the back and she was fine, but I was a wreck!

. . . Ashley is allergic to milk, she is not a severe case, she vomits, gets cranky and sometimes a few spots around the mouth, but the food coloring makes her violent! She has started to bite me and at five years that is not good. We never went through this in the twos! What is up?

Zac of Houston, TX, 13 months old: We were in the hospital the first week of his life because he would throw up most of his formula (he is adopted and I wasn’t able to breast feed much because of the short notice.) I begged the doctors to take him off of lactose products and after four long, long days succeeded. He was a little better. We managed to get him out of their care and into the trusting care of our family’s health care practitioners. Our physician discussed the need for “living” foods and cultures. I researched his advice and we switched to almond milk, Probiotic and calcium ascorbate with a couple of tablespoons of organic baby food. I can’t express how wonderful this milk is. He has had no weight problems, no colds and no ear infections. The episodes of what his first pediatric checkup called colic were gone immediately, the reflux problem is gone and his skin is so beautiful! (Of course he hasn’t been vaccinated either.)

Noah of Fairfield, CT, 20 months old: He was always and still is a slow weight gainer. He is a very picky eater.

Hannah and Laura of London, England, twins, 4 yrs. 8 mos. old: Food—ye gods. Laura is by far the most difficult. She drinks vast quantities of liquids, but is only on the second percentile for weight but the fiftieth for height. Both drive me to distraction with their eating (or lack of). Supplements have helped a lot. I use a combination of vitamins, minerals and botanicals.

Ian of Idaho Falls, ID, 3 years old: At mealtimes he never can sit and eat. He has to take a bite and wander around. We have tried to make him sit at the table, but this is so hard for him, and all three of us (Ian, myself and my husband) end up frustrated—not a good thing for proper digestion. It takes him at least an hour to finish, sometimes longer. We let his plate sit there and he comes by and nibbles until he is done. . . At Preschool this is obviously a problem at snack and lunch times. I also worry that he doesn’t get enough to eat. He is pretty skinny.

Savannah of Linden, Michigan, 4 years old: She has narrow feet and hands, and is generally thin. She’s not concerned with eating—doesn’t eat much at all—but is extremely healthy and has rarely been sick.

Victor of Zurich, Switzerland, 7 years old: Victor sometimes eats nearly nothing for days. I never recognized that he wouldn’t have enough energy, so I haven’t been afraid. When he is ill (which is VERY seldom!), he doesn’t eat for two or three days, just drinks. After that he feels fine and recovers. I feel that he knows best—so I let him do it . . .

ENERGY & ACTIVITY:

Noah of Fairfield, Connecticut

Noah of Fairfield, CT, 20 months old: He is full of energy, and determined. Noah stood at five months, and walked at seven. He has been running and climbing since nine months.

Savannah of Linden, Michigan, 4 years old: She was walking at eight months.

Ashley of Boston, MA, 5 years old: Ashley is a very independent child. She was walking at nine months and climbing out of her crib by ten months. My family compares her to the Energizer Bunny!

Hannah and Laura of London, England, twins, 4 yrs. 8 mos. old: Physically very active—insatiable consumption of gym, ballet, tap, swimming, cycling, generally running free. Highly tuned slim bodies with muscle definition to die for. Almost never seen with their clothes on indoors.

Addy of Surrey, British Columbia, 10 years old: My son needed entertainment from four weeks on as he slept only a hour at a time. As an exhausted parent in serious need of rest I was not afraid to allow him to stay over at his grandma(s) places just to get rest but my time with him was always special.

Zac of Houston, TX, 13 months old: He is FULL of ENERGY! He takes three 15-20 minute naps a day to recharge & moves the balance of the day. Sleeps most nights pretty well.

Ian of Idaho Falls, ID, 3 years old: Wow, I am glad that all of you have commented on the sleeplessness issue. Ian is three now, but for the first eighteen to twenty months he did not sleep through the night and I wondered if it was me. He also started getting up in the middle of the night to do things like “fix breakfast,” (eggs all over the floor).

Tannah (2 years old) and Tae (4 years old) of Durban, South Africa: Tannah currently is just a ball of energy. We have nicknamed her Taz after the Tasmanian Devil, because from the time she started walking she was like a whirlwind of destruction. She is not naughty at all, just very busy like the beginning little phrase of the indigo book, “They think of things that are fun to do at 10 per second.” So while I am cleaning up the toilet roll she just shoved down the loo, she is in her bedroom redecorating the walls with her crayons.

Tae, my 4-year-old is quieter than Tannah. She is extremely sensitive, very artistic and would sit and paint and draw all day if she was permitted to. She loves to hear stories and just be still. When things get tough around her, like her sister bombarding the house with business, she just retires to her room for quiet time. Or she makes her sister sit down and breath in and out and think of nice things. This was something I started with Tannah when she started getting a little out of touch with things . . . just sitting and closing her eyes and breathing in and out and in and out and thinking of the sea and the sand and clouds up in the sky and so on. It works wonders.

COMMUNICATION

Hannah and Laura of London, England, twins, 4 yrs. 8 mos. old: People say they’re always surprised about what they say and do. Hannah is a great wordsmith, delighting in every new word and using her huge vocabulary to great effect—Laura less so, but still startling.

Savannah of Linden, Michigan, 4 years old: She has an excellent memory. She knows when you’re teasing her, or not being truthful. She reasons like a much older child and can pretty much keep up with my fourteen-year-old . . . She began using full, understandable sentences at fourteen months . . . She’s been so “easy”—never into everything, never talked back and never went through the terrible twos. If I explain the reasons for something, she accepts it and goes on. She’s very reasonable.

Victor of Zurich, Switzerland, 7 years old: Well, he started to talk very early. He said “mama” for the first time at nine month, and at the age of two years he could speak normal sentences and started to ask written letters and very complicated questions—also very philosophical and technical ones.

Aaron of Ennis, Ireland

Aaron of Ennis, Ireland, 2 ½ years old: My mother was sitting in the kitchen talking to my aunt and Aaron was in there getting crisps or something. My father and I were sitting outside talking. Aaron came back out to us and after awhile he came over to me and told me the full conversation that he had heard in the kitchen between my mother and aunt. He was able to tell me that my cousin was gone to Dublin on a train from Galway, that my aunt was talking about one of my other aunts, etc. I was amazed, he was only in there about ten minutes and about half an hour later was able to tell me everything that occurred in that time. At two and a half this to me was a warning for the future, even straightaway—that is, watch what I’m saying when he’s around! We are actually already finding ourselves spelling words in front of him rather than saying them. He himself will tell you that he is a ‘nosy Parker’ and a ‘copycat,’ Well, they do say that one of the indigo traits is that they don’t lie!

Zac of Houston, TX, 13 months old: He started saying words like mamma at around ten months and has recently started saying small words in what is apparently German. This is strange since we are not German and do not speak German. (A native German friend came to visit and was shocked.) He was born on my Grandfathers birthday who was the only person that spoke German in our family. My Grandfather has been dead for around eight years. Coincidence?

POWER, WILL & DISCIPLINE

Hannah and Laura of London, England, twins, 4 yrs. 8 mos. old: Both are very willful, and seem to have a great deal of power in so many ways . . . Discipline is a nightmare. They manage to stay safe, but struggle violently against any sort of convention . . . The first time I knew I was in deep water came at five months when they were spitting food at each other in their high chairs, hysterical with giggles. Not a single thing I said or did made the smallest difference. I’d like to say it’s changed but it hasn’t. My request that Hannah should tidy her toys was met with “OK, tough guy” last week. She did it, though!

Ashley of Boston, MA, 5 years old: Ashley was born screaming and has not been able to stop. She wants to get her point across anyway she can and gets very frustrated when people don’t understand her.

Addy of Surrey, British Columbia, 10 years old: He has loving guidelines and specific rules. He always questions me about them so I explain why and usually it is the end of the story. These children will ask lots of questions and you will need to answer them. They are very grown up yet they have a unique quality of being very young at the same time.

Zac of Houston, TX, 13 months old: Waiting is probably difficult for all children his age. However, if he wants something and you can’t be there instantly, he will try to accomplish “it” himself. He cries some but mostly structures those around him to assist in achieving his needs or goals.

CREATIVE EXPRESSION:

Noah of Fairfield, CT, 20 months old: He is creative and is real big with music. He dances, sings and plays instruments . . . He loves to play a keyboard and has a recorder. He plays it like he knows how to play . . . He can even blow on a trumpet and make the correct lip and sound from it.

Hannah and Laura of London, England, twins, 4 yrs. 8 mos. old: Constant art activities —they use a 30 metre roll of paper each per week on their easels, and will do several art projects each day before school.

Ashley of Boston, MA, 5 years old: Ashley draws great pictures. I wish I had a scanner to show you all. At four years old she was drawing my chakras. She told me they were the spots where my light shines. She also draws in third eyes on everyone. It is so much fun to see her draw in her “wings.”

Savannah of Linden, Michigan, 4 years old: I recently bought her a classical music tape and when I played it, she danced around the room. When a waltz came on, she started dancing really slow. At the end, she put her hand across her waist and bowed—like they did years ago at the end of a dance.

Addy of Surrey, British Columbia, 10 years old: The music that comes out of his flute strictly by memory is awesome and heavenly. When he is in the shower he sings like a lovely bird with music I have never heard. I think that he is bringing back some of the Atlantis songs lost so long ago.

Victor of Zurich, Switzerland, 7 years old: Victor is a very quiet child, not hyperactive at all. He plays alone for hours, is very creative, highly talented in languages, drawing and painting, technical things and is very philosophical in his thinking.

PLAY:

Noah of Fairfield, CT, 20 months old: When he does play by himself, in his playroom, all the toys are knocked over, pulled off the shelves, and brought to the middle of the room. He is creative with his cars. He puts them on the window ledges, and this is the track. He has to be at the same level as the wheels of the car . . . He will look at the wheels for an hour sometimes.

Zac of Houston, TX, 13 months old: He makes the play rules. He loves to play with cars. However, he prefers for them to drive on other objects or on walls not the floors. He also likes to play ball but he wants to play in a triangle (not two people in a line). If it is only us playing ball, he will still throw the ball to the third “player,” go retrieve it and then throw it for that person too. By the way he has been kicking balls since he was about four months old in his jumper and playing catch since he was around six months old. He also dances, turning in small circles (his chiropractor is amazed in his pivot ability).

FOCUS:

Noah of Fairfield, CT, 20 months old: When he was younger, he would look at books for like an hour, just looking with intense understanding of the books, all by himself.

Savannah of Linden, Michigan, 4 years old: At four years and three months, she is writing her name and is a whiz on the computer.

Zac of Houston, TX, 13 months old: He is a never-ending ball of energy! He is almost sponge like to his surroundings. Example: He walks in to the post office with our keys, places the key in the box and opens the box door. I am an adult and still search for the box from time to time and fumble with keys! Music and mechanical devices seem to be his focus right now.

CHARISMA:

Noah of Fairfield, CT, 20 months old: In public he is very social, he says hello to everybody, and if they do not say it back, he keeps saying it till they do. Elderly and middle aged women and him are like magnets in public. They come over to him, some say how special he is, and he lovingly smiles at them . . . Some tell me he is an angel or that he sees and hears God . . . When a healer who works on my mother met him for the first time she said, “I am looking at a very old wise soul, who has been here many, many, times.”

Hannah and Laura of London, England, twins, 4 yrs. 8 mos. old: They seem to exercise a charisma over people (even when I take them out without their twin). I’m quite cautious with how they use or abuse these glamorous powers, and how I can help them to use them for the greatest good in the future.

Savannah of Linden, Michigan, 4 years old: People are drawn to her wherever we go—kids, adults, it doesn’t matter. My mother also noticed this. People are always making comment on her looks, and other kids (even strangers on a playground) try to get close to her.

Victor of Zurich, Switzerland, 7 years old: When Victor was a baby, sometimes people in supermarkets or on a walk would stop me and talk to me about my “very special child with that very wise look.” They were mainly elderly women. I knew exactly what they where talking about. Me too! I sometimes had the feeling that an old man was talking to me, and even he himself told me before his second birthday, “Isn’t it Mom, I’m old?!”

RELATING TO OTHERS:

Noah of Fairfield CT, 0 mos. old: He is into to everybody when we go out. He will address almost everyone he sees with a hello. If you do not say hello back to him, he will just keep saying it till you do. Then he will say goodbye. I call him “Mr. Mayor” when we are out. When he sees other children, he has to hug them.

Hannah and Laura of London, England, twins, 4 yrs. 8 mos. old: Laura is quite an activist, and will speak out strongly against any sort of offence or injustice. Just before she was two she accosted a man in a shop and stood crossly in front of him with her chin up and very loudly said, “Say sorry for smoking!”

David of Berlin, Germany

David of Berlin, Germany, 8 years old: When David was about three or four years old, I took him with me to my workplace, which is with kids in a kindergarten. One kid started to pick on him. David simply smiled at that kid very lovingly and then turned around.

Ashley of Boston, MA, 5 years old: Ashley can be the sweetest person to a stranger. I always hear what a sweet child, such good manners. Always uses please and thank you, excuse me and oh, let me get that for you . . .

Recently Ashley met a woman I work with for the first time. She was all over the woman. Ashley could truly SEE how nice this woman was. She asked her to pick her up. The woman did and while in her arms Ashley asked, “Do you love me, because I love you.” The woman replied, “Why yes, I love you because we are all angels.” Ashley was so happy that someone could see beyond the usual and could love her for her true self. I was in tears . . .

Savannah of Linden, Michigan, 4 years old: She CONSTANTLY is telling everyone—cats and dogs included—how much she loves them. She sticks up for the other kids who are being picked on at her one-day-a-week playgroup . . . She loves to tease and laugh. She’s always laughing! . . . She’s very laid back and shy in new situations and around new people. It’s almost like she has to size you up before she’ll be bothered. That used to bother me, but now I don’t push her to do anything she doesn’t want (within reason) . . . But she only is close with a few different kids. She sticks to the same friends, even at playgroup. If her friends aren’t there, she’ll play mostly by herself . . . She is loaded with common sense, and if she doesn’t like something, she will definitely let you know. If someone is being mean or crabby, she’ll come right out and ask why they are being that way. Savannah tells it like it is—right down to telling her older sister she didn’t like her haircut!

Hannah and Laura of London, England, twins, 4 yrs. 8 mos. old: Both have special gifts with animals, and are animal crazy. Especially horses. When they first heard about Pegasus they talked about him and acted it out for weeks (still do!). Same with unicorns. Their imaginations are vast, highly creative and forever expanding in worlds populated by mythical creatures, horses, magic, loving natures and necessary battles between good and evil.

Addy of Surrey, British Columbia, 10 years old: My son loves animals, music and art and he is extremely compassionate towards others. He truly believes that the world is a wonderful place, and it is really difficult to explain to him that the world is not always a great place. He will learn on his own. These Indigo Children are trying to get the rest of us to see the love and to forgive our fellow man.

Addy plays soccer during the summertime as the lead goalie. His father is the coach. On one particular day, when they were playing against a team they had played before, the second coach on my son’s team brought in a new player who was also trying out for goalie. My son was very excited for this young boy but noticed that the boy did not have goalie gloves or a shirt. He proceeded with great pleasure to run to his bag and hand over his spare shirt and gloves. He then said, “You play goal today. I’ll play next time.”

In my son’s heart there was compassion not competition. These two boys support each other at all their soccer games, instead of worrying about who is first. I think that if more of these kids could continue this way, the world would change before our eyes.

Victor of Zurich, Switzerland, 7 years old: He is very open-minded, likes to communicate with other people, but manly grownups. With other children he has his difficulties. They often don’t understand him and think he’s oversensitive.

Zac of Houston, TX, 13 months old: Is not afraid to speak to anyone or to go anywhere. It is as if he belongs wherever he is. There are no strangers or strange places to him and he doesn’t understand when the public refuses to speak or respond to his prompts. It is as if he knows they will cherish him if he can just get their attention. (He usually does and they do.)

Aaron of Ennis, Ireland, 2 ½ years old: Aaron is also a dog lover. We have three boxers and a Shih Tzu all of whom adore him. Freya whom he has grown up with from a puppy especially loves him. They take turns following each other around, share food and sleep together. When Aaron lies on the floor she stands directly over him as if protecting him whilst he is in a vulnerable position. There is a fight in the evening to see who will get to sit by him on the couch. One of them, Tess, who was rescued and is in poor health, was particularly bad about a month ago. Aaron asked if we could bring her to see my mother (she runs a holistic centre and often gives Aaron treatments). He said “Gran will make Tess better.” Tess had to have an operation two weeks ago and was out for the count after the anesthetic until nearly the following day. As Aaron was going to bed the night she had the operation, he put his arms around her and started crying saying, “You be better soon. It’s all right. Night, night sweetheart.” The love he has is generated towards all animals and it has been noted that the more they appear to avoid him the more effort he puts into getting their attention and making friends.

SCHOOL:

Hannah and Laura of London, England, twins, 4 yrs. 8 mos. old: They can’t see the point of (morning nursery) school, but usually behave well when there. Hannah, bored in ballet, reduced her ballet teacher to tears because she just wasn’t able to control her.

Ian of Idaho Falls, ID, 3 years old: His last pre-school teacher was quite alarmed at how different he is and even suggested that he is autistic because he didn’t like playing “Duck, Duck, Goose.” Well, that and other things. He is quite active (hyper even) and doesn’t sit still for story time—but can tell you all about the book when you are finished. Is extremely friendly and loves to play with others—but not always. Does this sound like anyone you know? Right now he is in “fixing” the toilet. I am letting him because at least he is not breaking anything.

Evan of PA, 3 years old: Evan starts pre-school in two days, and I am afraid of what the school will say. I have had him evaluated by a developmental physician because he was delayed with language and she felt he was autistic or ADHD. I thought, “Here we go. The doctor won’t diagnose him until he has preschool experience—what’s that all about?” Evan could be running around and act if he doesn’t hear a blessed thing, then later he is repeating whatever was going on. We have been kicked out of numerous classes (music, play dates, etc.) because “we don’t think Evan is getting anything out of this, and besides he is to disruptive.”

Victor of Zurich, Switzerland, 7 years old: At school he seems to be very intelligent, but lazy. The teachers tell me that when he is really interested in something he can do it for hours, but otherwise . . .

Last week he told me that at his school (Montessori school) there is another child “like me.” I knew immediately who it was. I can see it on his face and feel it while he speaks. His name is Oliver.

Ashley of Boston, MA, 5 years old: Ashley just started indergarten and wants to bring her invisible brother Steve with her for show and tell! How can I say no, she could just sneak him out!

EMPATHY, INTUITION & HEALING:

Ashley of Boston, MA, 5 years old: I had an aura photo taken of me that came up on a video screen. My chakras (energy centers) were very distorted—not in balance at all. My daughter sat and was in perfect harmony! Astounded I sat again—same thing. Then Ashley moved up against me and just like magick, my chakras all balanced and my aura smoothed out to match hers. What a powerful healer she is turning out to be.

Noah of Fairfield, CT, 20 months old: I am starting to see that he is intuitive, even before we are. He can sense things before they are going to happen. This has happened two times now.

Hannah and Laura of London, England, twins, 4 yrs. 8 mos. old: Laura is empathic way beyond her years, and very intuitive.

Ashley of Boston, MA, 5 years old: Ashley cries true tears for the old, the hurt, the sad, anyone she meets that is hurting, she is crying for them. How can I console her? Or should I even try? . . . The level of sensitivity is enormous. She is one of the most caring people I know.

Savannah of Linden, Michigan, 4 years old: She is extremely intelligent, and caring. She knows when someone is upset or hurt—the last time I was upset over something, she came up behind me and brought me a little blue flower from her bedroom.

One time Savannah wanted an ice cream cone, and I SWEAR, there were no more left. She kept saying, “Just look, please.” Well, there was one left that I guess I missed somehow. She just knew. Another time, she wanted holders for her corn on the cob. I had taken most of them up to our boat for a bbq and had one lone one sitting in the drawer. I had searched for the matching one and couldn’t find it, so this one had been sitting there for the longest time. I told her there was only one and I looked in the drawer. I found the loner one as usual, but I moved some spoons aside and there was the match! I KNOW it wasn’t in there before. Just like the ice cream cone.

Zac of Houston, TX, 13 months old: He has helped me face so many of my insecurities that it is incredible. Sometimes, I feel like he is here for me to learn instead of vice versa. Yet, I know there is much more to both of us.

His eyes are beautiful in an antique sort of way. People often comment on how he seems as if he “understands” when they are talking about difficulties or situations. They are shocked on how he can “help” them feel less stressed. He also seems to comfort our aging dogs. He will pick up objects and arrange them around people or animals with intense meaning. If we move them around, he will place them all back in order.

Tae and Tannah of Durban, South Africa

Tae of Durban South Africa, 4 years old: Tae is amazing at sensing how you are feeling and usually taps into it very quickly. We have to be very careful what is said and done around her. She is very intelligent and doesn’t miss a thing.

We were planning on buying her a pony that had become available and I did not want to get her hopes up until it was definite so we never spoke about it in front of her. Just the other day she said to me. “Is my grandpa, you and daddy going to be buying me and Tannah a horse?” I nearly fell of my chair. I don’t know how she knew.

She also talks about things I have watched on TV while she was sleeping. My only explanation is that she was there watching with me (not in body of course). She says something like, “Remember on TV that man that ate the big burger?” I will say “When?” and she says something else about it. I sit there and go “but you weren’t with me when I saw that,” and she says, “Yes, I was laying on the couch next to you.” I clearly recall her giving me a full recall on the movie Nell the following day after I had sat alone with my mother watching it. She told me all about the lady who spoke funny and she played in the water and with leaves and danced around and around. It really amuses me when she does this.

Tae started this thing when she was about three of putting “Energade” (energy) into sore muscles by laying her hands on the sore area. When she was about two and a half she sat on the floor with her legs crossed, and my mother and I asked her what she was doing. She said, “dimitating.” We both presume that meant, “meditating.”

PAST LIVES AND CONTACT WITH OTHER DIMENSIONS:

Hannah and Laura of London, England, twins, 4 yrs. 8 mos. old: Laura recently remembered in detail a past life where she used to ride horses, and a friend of hers (a little girl called Enny) was killed by a tree falling on her whilst out riding. This explained why she’s been talking about her friend “Enny Angel” since she was able to speak! She has another angel, a lavender coloured light, who comes to play under the duvet with her at night. Laura receives and gives healing energy very well.
At three Hannah gave me a spontaneous account of St. Michael and his role in “fighting all the bad people” and how he had reincarnated. This is completely without any of these subjects ever being discussed with her to my knowledge. Again at three, on the way to meet a friend of mine for the first time she announced “I like Maureen. She used to be my mummy when I was a lady.” . . . Hannah responds really well to healing and sometimes asks me to move my hands away a little as “it’s too strong.”

Noah of Fairfield, CT at 16 months: He says normal range of words for his age, but he has his own “talk.” When playing alone, he sits and talks. He nods his head and looks as if he is talking to someone. I just can’t see these people. He obviously can.

Ashley of Boston, MA, 5 years old: She cries that she misses her great grandfather, who she never met! She says she knew him BEFORE! She also says she was with her Aunt Lillian (whom I never knew and am still trying to find on the family tree) and great grandpa when she was a baby, but she says she was with them, not in me!

Ian of Idaho Falls, Idaho

Ian of Idaho Falls, ID, 3 years old: Ian has very vivid dreams that he tells us about every morning. The other day he woke up and said “God took me to dreamland in his car . . . he drives fast!”

Tannah of Durban, South Africa, 2 years old: My baby of nineteen months old speaks her own language. I cannot see whom she is talking with but they make her laugh a lot so they are welcome in my home. She often sits and looks at “nothing” and rolls around with laughter. It is great to watch . . . (update) Tannah still talks to her friends while she is playing. It is very amusing to watch but she generally does not sit for long periods of time in quiet play. When she is quiet you have to check up on her to see what she is doing because generally it is something she should not be doing.

Victor of Zurich, Switzerland, 7 years old: From the time Victor could speak he was talking of “another planet where I come from. It’s called India-desert (translated from German). Everything is better there; people are behaving better with each other; the animals are not as wild as here; you can go in the houses without opening the door, if it’s yours.” He often compares “here” with “there” and sometimes he invents very practical ways of doing something and then says, “That’s the way we did it in India-desert.”

About a month ago he asked me: “Mom, why are people so cruel to aliens?” “What do you mean?” I said. “Well, everybody talks of them like monsters or little green men from Mars.” “And what do you want to say with that?” I asked. He said, (he was standing on a bench, looking down at me) “You know, the aliens are good people. They come to earth to help save the world, like we children do. We have to purify the air and save nature. Otherwise nobody can live here anymore!”
Lately Victor said to me, “Oh sure, there is plenty of living beings on other planets. I used to be a scientist of the stars and they esteemed me because I found new ones. You know Mum, we were laughing so much in that other world, when men of the earth came with their rockets to explore moon, they stepped through us and the plants and everything because they could only see the floor but nothing else. It was so funny to see them walking through our bodies. They took stones with them and when they were back on earth, with great importance they said, “No, there is no life possible on the moon.”

. . . Once, at the age of about two and a half, when we where waking up in the morning (we slept in the same room. I’m living alone with him), I took him into my bed. He pointed to an antique Hellenistic (Greek antique) vase, made out of clay and said, “Mom, what’s that?”
“Oh, that’s a vase I once got from very special people.” “Yes,” he said, “I know, you got that to keep it till I’m grown up. I made it once a long time ago with my hands, but I made it for me, not for you. Please give it back to me when I’m grown up.”

Now, you have to know how I got that vase. At the age of thirteen I went to Cyprus for holidays with my family, like every year. A Swiss woman, married to a Cypriot doctor who was a friend of my parents, came to visit us in our hotel. As very often, I preferred to stay with the grownups instead of playing with my brother and sisters at the beach, so that’s how she met me.
The next day as I passed the reception area of the hotel, somebody called my name and told me that there was a package waiting for me. When I opened it there was an antique Hellenistic vase of clay and a letter. The Swiss woman wrote that she had been very impressed by my personality at the age of thirteen and that something in her heart told her to give me that vase. I was perplexed. I never knew why she gave that to me until twenty-three years later when my son told me.

. . . At the age of three, after I had blamed him for doing something, Victor said “But Mom, when I was YOUR Mom, I didn’t blame you like that. I was much more kind.”

Caspian of Idaho Falls, Idaho

Caspian of Idaho Falls, Idaho, age 2 years 8 months: He started talking very well at an early age. He’s always paid attention to the adult world going on around him. At times his understanding of our concepts is amazing, though by now I shouldn’t be surprised by the way he links situations in his mind.

Here’s a story of both his comprehension of his surroundings, and his inner-knowing as an Indigo.
I give readings and healings as a profession, and for awhile I worked out of my home, setting aside a room to work. Caspian would watch my clients come and go, and understood that while I was in there, I was giving readings. One day when he was near two years old, he decided he’d give me a reading. This was an effective delay of nap-time as well as an adventure into his mind. He said, “Daddy, me give you a reading.”

I agreed, and let him lead me into the reading room. When I give readings, I face the person, hold their hands, and close my eyes. He sat me down on the couch and repeated this process, squeezing his eyes tightly. He opened his left eye after a moment of silence and said, “Panda bear? Buffano?”

This was actually quite interesting. I’d asked him a few days before about his dreams after his nap, and he’d told me that he was dreaming about Pandas and Buffaloes. Of further interest is the fact that when giving a reading, you enter basically the same state you would if you were dreaming.
He was relating dreaming to giving a reading.

After awhile I began to ask him questions about the last time we’d lived together. The conversation went something like this:

Me: “Tell me about the last time you and I lived on the Earth like we do now.
Him: “Ummm… We ride horseys.”
Me: “What did we look like?”
Him: “Black hair, ride horseys.”
Me: “Was I your daddy then?”
Him: “No, we friends, we brothers.”
Me: “What did we do?”
Him: “Look for Buffano.”

He went on to tell me that we rode horses a lot, and played, but mostly we looked for Buffalo, and we were happy. At one point he became very excited and began telling me that one time we had to go really far to find the Buffalo, all the way to Murder Mountain. I’d never even mentioned the word murder to him, and know of no mountain with that name.

Days later when I was telling my parents about what he’d told me, and he was playing in their living room, he began acting out the whole scene.

He ran back and forth as if on a horse yelling about Buffanoes and waving his arms shouting, “Shoot, shoot!”

Since then I’ve had many readings from Caspian, as well as hands on healings that actually work. He’s amazing.

JESUS & GOD:

Ashley of Boston, MA, 5 years old: After watching an Easter special she was hysterical. “Why is he (Jesus) dead, those people were so mean to him. I think he is the king.” She was so upset, it took weeks before she stopped talking about it.

David of Berlin, Germany, 8 years old: I asked David if he would like it if I tell people who are interested in Indigo children about him. And, if yes, what could we contribute? He said, yes, he would like to participate, but only one thing came to his mind to tell about. I asked, what? And he said, “Well, not many words, only that I am the follower of Jesus.” At four or five he cried about Jesus’ death and was really upset about the fact that he was nailed on the cross. (We talked about that at Easter-time). He was crying as if Jesus was a very close relative. He told me, “I am the follower of Jesus. I feel like Jesus.”

Savannah of Linden, Michigan, 4 years old: Savannah is filled with light and love. If I tell her to be careful, she says not to worry, she’ll be fine. She is more “in-tune” and knowledgeable about God than she’s been taught.

DEATH & REINCARNATION:

Victor of Zurich, Switzerland, 7 years old: Two days ago, while saying good night: “Oh, it seems that they are not sure if after this life I have to come another last time to earth, but Mom, I don’t want to. What about you?” I said “you know, ever since I was a child I was looking forwards to die and go back to where I came from, and I don’t want to come back to Earth either.”

Ashley of Boston, MA, 5 years old: Ashley seems to be obsessed with death. It is a great sadness that she has. Any mention of death and she is so upset. We had a goldfish die and that was awful. I am so afraid what will happen if someone near us dies. She loves to walk in the cemetery and talk about our spirits and how they leave our bodies and how our bodies are just houses. It’s so intense! What will be next?

You just never know . .
