Ever feel like you don’t quite fit in?
Like you’re meant for something bigger? You’re not alone.
A whole generation of us is out there, often called Indigo Children.
We’re here to shake things up and bring about change. Let’s dive into what makes us tick.
“Unfortunately I’m an indigo adult and completely misunderstood. I feel like I am different from normal society and don’t really fit in. For years I’ve been told I would do the opposite when given advice and I’m just difficult.
I’ve struggled in jobs because that corporate environment isn’t me. I feel like I know what people are thinking before they tell me and I know when I’m being lied to.
I strive for knowledge and to find out how everything works. I’m 33 years old and have not found my purpose. I have loads of mental health issues anxiety depression etc because for so long I’ve been trying to fit in and live a “normal” life.”

Where did the term Indigo Children come from?
The term “Indigo Children” wasn’t cooked up in some corporate boardroom or dreamed up by a marketing team. No, this came straight from the mind of a parapsychologist named Nancy Ann Tappe back in the 1970s.
Tappe wasn’t just any researcher – she was a self-proclaimed synesthete and psychic. That means she didn’t just see the world like you and me. She saw auras, baby. And what she noticed was a trend that was about to flip the script on human evolution.
Tappe started noticing something wild: kids were being born with indigo-colored auras. We’re not talking about a few random cases here and there. This was a full-blown phenomenon that kicked off in the late 1960s and kept snowballing.
But Tappe didn’t just sit on this information. She went all in, publishing her findings and blowing the lid off this discovery. By 1982, she had a book out, and by 1986, she’d expanded it into a paperback that started spreading like wildfire.
Now, here’s where it gets really interesting. Tappe’s concept caught fire in the New Age community. It wasn’t just some fringe idea anymore – it was a movement.
In the late 1990s, authors Lee Carroll and Jan Tober took this ball and ran with it. They cranked out a series of books that turned the volume up to eleven on the Indigo Children concept. Suddenly, everyone and their spiritual guru was talking about these special kids with their royal blue auras and world-changing potential.
But here’s the kicker – this wasn’t just some feel-good spiritual trend. The Indigo Children concept was a direct response to what many saw as a crisis in American childhood. With youth violence on the rise and ADHD diagnoses skyrocketing, parents were looking for answers.
And you know what? The Indigo Children concept gave them exactly that. It provided an alternative explanation for why their kids might be acting out or struggling to fit in. It wasn’t a disorder – it was a sign of their higher purpose and evolved consciousness.
So there you have it. The term “Indigo Children” didn’t just appear out of thin air. It was born from one woman’s unique perception, developed through years of research, and exploded into a full-blown spiritual and cultural phenomenon.
Whether you buy into it or not, you can’t deny the impact it’s had. It’s challenged our understanding of child development, spirituality, and human potential. And in a world that’s constantly evolving, who knows? Maybe the Indigos are exactly what we need to shake things up and push humanity to the next level.
10 Powerful Indigo Children Traits
So, what sets us apart?
Here are ten traits that define Indigo Children:
1. Heightened Intuition and Psychic Abilities
Ever had a gut feeling so strong it felt like a punch to the stomach?
That’s our bread and butter. Our intuition isn’t just a hunch; it’s a superpower. We often have vivid dreams, strong gut feelings, and sometimes even psychic experiences.
This heightened intuition helps us navigate complex situations with ease.
2. Strong-willed and Independent Nature
We don’t just march to the beat of our own drum; we’re the whole damn marching band.
Our strong will isn’t stubbornness; it’s conviction.
We know what we believe in and stand by it, no matter what.
This often leads us to question authority and challenge traditional norms.
3. Advanced Problem-Solving Skills
We don’t see problems; we see puzzles waiting to be solved.
Our minds work in ways that make others scratch their heads.
We approach challenges with creativity and out-of-the-box thinking, often finding innovative solutions that others might overlook.
4. Deep Empathy and Emotional Intelligence
We don’t just understand feelings; we feel them.
Our empathy isn’t just sympathy on steroids; it’s a direct line to others’ hearts.
This deep empathy allows us to connect with people profoundly, but it can also be overwhelming if not managed properly.
5. Resistance to Authority and Traditional Systems
We’re not rebels without a cause; we’re rebels with every cause.
We resist authority not because we’re troublemakers but because we see a better way.
A fairer way.
A more just way.
This resistance often puts us at odds with traditional systems and structures.
6. Creative and Innovative Thinking
Our creativity isn’t just about making pretty pictures; it’s about reimagining the world.
We’re artists, sure, but we’re also innovators, visionaries, and dreamers.
Our creative energy is a powerful tool for communicating our unique vision and inspiring others.
7. Sense of Purpose and Mission in Life
We’re not just living; we’re on a mission.
Our purpose isn’t something we find; it’s something we know deep in our bones.
This sense of purpose drives us to pursue our goals with passion and determination, often leading us to significantly contribute to society.
8. Difficulty with Structure and Routine
The structure feels like a cage to us. We’re not lazy or undisciplined; we just know that creativity doesn’t punch a time clock.
Traditional educational systems and work environments can be challenging, as we prefer to follow our own rhythm and intuition.
9. Advanced Communication Skills
We don’t just talk; we communicate. Our words aren’t just sounds; they’re bridges that connect hearts, minds, and souls.
Many of us possess exceptional communication skills from an early age, allowing us to express our unique perspectives and connect with others on a deeper level.
10. Spiritual Awareness and Connection
We’re not just aware of the physical world; we feel the universe’s pulse. Our spirituality isn’t about religion; it’s about connection—to everything and everyone.
This heightened spiritual awareness often leads us to explore metaphysical concepts and practices like meditation and energy work. (2)
Bashar Talks About Indigo’s
Questioner: One other quick question. Children are born in the world now, and people call them Indigo Children.
Bashar: Yes, a new species.
Q: Can you tell us more about that?
B: Vibrationally, those who have passed through certain vibrational gates will be able to remember more of who they are, and physiologically, they will exhibit more of the idea of altered DNA and altered genetics that will allow them to function as antennas for higher frequency energies and to express the idea of creative talents much earlier in life.
Q: And is that how we recognize them because they…
B: Generally speaking, although you will not necessarily be capable of recognizing all of them, when and where you may recognize them depends a lot on whatever theme they have chosen to explore and whatever service they have chosen to be part of on your planet.
Q: In so many young children diagnosed with ADHD or Autism, is that part of this?
B: It is, to some degree, because it is an opportunity to learn something new about the brain, consciousness, thought process, and awareness and to change the structure and nature of how you look at physical reality and consciousness.
They are your learning curves.
Dolores Cannon – 3 Waves of Volunteers
Dolores Cannon is a past-life regressionist and hypnotherapist specializing in recovering and cataloging “Lost Knowledge.” Her roots in hypnosis go back to the 1960s. She has been specializing in past-life therapy since 1979.
Estimating the approximate ages of the three waves came about while I was engaged in my work as a hypnotist in hundreds of regressions. After roughly categorizing my subjects by age in their present lives, I discovered three distinct generations of new souls.
The first wave of these souls, now in their late 40s to early 60s (the Baby Boomer generation), have had the hardest time adjusting to life on Earth.
They are horrified by the rampant violence of our world and want to return “home” – even though they consciously have no idea where it is.
Strong emotions like anger and hate deeply disturb them. Some rebelled against the status quo and even committed suicide to escape the chaos of Earth. They are the pioneers who paved the way for the second and third waves of volunteers.
The second wave is now in their late 20s and 30s, – [Generation X.] They have made the transition to life on Earth much more easily than the first wave. The second wave souls tend to work behind the scenes, often on their own, creating little or no Karma.
In the sessions I conduct as a hypnotist, they have been described as antennas that unconsciously channel energy onto the Earth. They do not have to do anything; they just have to be. Their energy affects everyone they come into contact with.
Their paradox is they are supposed to be sharing their energy, but they do not like being around people. (LOL, that’s me.)
Many first and second wave souls unconsciously realize that having children creates Karma. Many do not marry in the first place unless they are fortunate enough to meet another soul to whom they can relate.
They just want to do their job and go home.
The third wave [Millenials] is a group of exceptional new children, many of whom are in their teens. These advanced children are already equipped with enhanced DNA compatible with the frequency of the New Earth.
They need challenges to keep them interested, not drugs to treat their misdiagnosed illnesses such as ADHD. They are the new “hope of the world.”
Dolores Cannon
Indigos are not the first wave; they are the second wave after the “rainbows” (baby boomers), and according to Dolores Cannon’s teachings, they also correspond with the Second Wave of Volunteers.
But Volunteers are extraterrestrial beings incarnated in human bodies; indigos can be natives of Earth or ETs. They have a similar mission of raising humanity’s consciousness and destroying outdated social systems.
Indigo Adults are pioneers in conscious human evolution. They usually start their spiritual journey in their late teens or early twenties. The hardest lesson for them is realizing that most of humanity lacks an intuitive, caring, and sensitive disposition.
This may cause outrage when fully realized, but later on, this understanding will make it easier for Indigo Adults to lead humanity in a direction that will serve them better.

Personal growth, spiritual awakening, and life experiences can all contribute to developing Indigo-like traits in adults.
The Bottom Line
Indigo Children aren’t just some new-age fantasy. They’re real, they’re here, and they’re shaking things up. These kids are the system-busters, the rule-breakers, and the paradigm-shifters our world desperately needs.
Indigo Children aren’t just different – they’re evolutionary. They’re packing some serious intuitive and creative firepower that could revolutionize how we approach problems. We’re talking about kids who can see solutions where others see dead ends.
But let’s get one thing straight – being an Indigo Child isn’t all rainbows and unicorns. These kids often struggle with the rigid structures of our society. They’re misunderstood, labeled as troublemakers, and sometimes even misdiagnosed with conditions like ADD.
Here’s where it gets exciting. If we can harness the unique abilities of Indigo Children, we’re looking at a potential goldmine of innovation and progress. These kids aren’t just the future – they’re the upgrade our present desperately needs.
So, what’s the play here? Simple. We need to recognize these Indigo Children, nurture their gifts, and give them the space to flourish. Because when we do, we’re not just helping them – we’re investing in a future that’s brighter, more creative, and infinitely more exciting than anything we’ve seen before.
Remember, in the game of life and evolution, the Indigo Children aren’t just players – they’re the ones changing the rules of the game itself. And that, my friends, is how you create a legacy that lasts.
