Indigo children & the future of humanity

Indigo children require lots of attention in our modern world. They tend to think holistically and intuitively, and are understood to process emotions differently than other types of people. The increasing diagnosis of ADD and ADHD in children may overlook the reality of a different kind of generation that has arrived for a purpose. Is this more to this than science fiction? Since new kinds of intelligence are emerging worldwide that defy normal explanation, and medical treatment isn't working, maybe its time to look further than just outside-the-box?

Wendy Chapman, a foremost expert in this field, has written The Complete Idiot's Guide to Indigo Children (Alpha Books, 2007). She explains this phenomena and how parents can recognize and encourage these kinds of "higher-level children."  The readership and orders for this book are growing steadily. Does this imply more people are opening their eyes to this idea?

Meg Blackburn Loosey, Ph.D. has written Children of Now (Career Press, 2007).  Her research reveals that a large number of babies come into the world bearing inherent gifts that are beyond strange to most people.  These youngsters discover they're telepathic, grasp subtle energ levels, and/or have amazing psychic abilities that society would describe as unbelievable.  Yet, are they really? With more research in this area being funded and released, are humans not more than curious?

P.M.H. Atwater, known for extensive research into Near Death Experience (NDE), has also written a book about Indigo children called Beyond the indigo children : the new children and the coming of the fifth world (Bear & Co., 2005).  This book refers to a prophecy: the fifth sun or fifth world of the Mayan calendar will supposedly move into ascension on December 21, 2012. Will this date open a "gateway" of planetary development that will open humanity to new ways of living and new worlds of opportunity? Ancient traditions have foretold the transformation and passage of our world with the aid of the wisdom of the indigo generation and others.

Doreen Virtue, Ph.D. has also written widely on indigo, crystal and rainbow children. She has written about The Care and Feeding of Indigo Children (Hay House, 2001) and other books.  Her work encourages human beings to open up and connect with angels, Higher Forces and sentient beings all around us meant to assist us to reframe our earthly perception.

Peggy Day brought us Edgar Cayce on the indigo children : understanding psychic children (A.R.E. Press, 2005). This work reveals how renowned dream analyst Edgar Cayce understood the shift in human awareness that was taking place.  Why is it taking us so long to recognize what Cayce predicted as inevitable? What would it take for you to perceive yourself, friends and strangers in a new, positive light? What if indigo difference wasn't illness or controversy, but hid an incredible gift?

Seek to unveil the truth about yourself

One approach people take to strengthen a sense of well-being is to embark on a journey of dream analysis and interpretation.  To learn how to self-examine honestly enables you to work through whatever holds you back.

Only the past tends to be retained in memory as you perceive it in waking life.  All of your associations in dreams are formed to somehow keep your past alive and the present on the back burner.  You can discover that this may not be what you truly want.

To work with someone skilled in dream analysis is a means to empower yourself to learn to interpret your own dreams.  What kinds of information would you like to get out of them? How do you seek to change your life? Dreams hold clues that you can tap into anytime you choose. 

Rather than say you don't understand what dreams are for, decide you will figure out what made them what they were.  They will surprise you with the details they contain about the real you.  Decide you will expand and strengthen your conscious memory. Explore a world that exceeds the memory your perception chooses to see. Find out what you've been missing and why.

Embrace all that you are

To begin to see the world differently, you need to step back and learn to perceive yourself differently.  This implies its time to embrace all that you are, even those parts that cause you to feel discomfort.

Now is the time to get out a sheet of paper and draft a plan for self-improvement.  List those areas of your life that make you feel good and those that don't. Its up to you to listen to yourself and decide how to take action to change your life for the better. It begins and ends with you. 

8 Kahuna steps to heal & transform

As the story goes, a highly-developed spiritual system called Huna emerged. This word means "secret" in Hawaiian. System leaders were Kahunas or "keepers of the secret." These priests, healers and prophets radiated distinct views. Their profound ability with invisible forces led to miracles. Rhonda Byrne referred to this concept in The Secret. People like Richard Webster apply more than intuition to such folklore.

The Kahunas believed we consist of three selves: the Low, Middle and High Self. Picture each of these selves like an invisible layer of energy with a thin, sticky film over it (aka). Each Self is inter-connected with the others and the physical body they serve. Imagine the analogy of layers of an onion or Russian dolls one inside the other, even partly transparent and intermingling.

The Kahuna ritual (Ha Rite) involves focusing on your Middle Self to decide exactly what you desire. As you do, the desire mixes with life force (mana) and is sent to the Low Self, to be grasped, transformed and passed on to your Higher Self, from where the idea will have consequences outside the Self. Faith and repetition are vital. Consider these 8 Kahuna steps and learn to effectively work your own miracles:

1) Visualize with intent. Go where you’re undisturbed. Think about your specific desire and its purpose. Imagine you already experience how fulfilling life is. Inhale consciously with a series of deep breaths. Allow your muscles to relax and exhale.

2) Regulate your breathing. As you relax, get up, stand with your feet about eighteen inches apart. If possible, continue deep breathing near a window or outdoors to strengthen your mana with fresh air. Exhale slowly. Listen to each breath. Realize it nurtures the three selves with symbolic life-sustaining energy.

3) Inhale abundance. Take four, slow, deep breaths. Inhale as much air as possible each time and hold it for a few seconds before exhaling and again, breathing slowly. Sense focus will generate a bountiful offering to the Higher Self.  Feel this life force filling your body and flowing out your head as if you were a container of water.

4) Align energy. Imagine a circle of radiant, white light. Feel its radiant warmth. Picture this in the area of your solar plexus. Sense how this burst of mana energy shoots upward through your chest, neck and head, to your High Self. This intensifying circle of vibrant energy above your head is your transformed offering.

5) Will your desire into the circle. Its crucial to remind yourself of your desire, why it drives you, and picture the circle of energy above your head. Keep this vivid desire in your mind as long as you can, while adding as much detail as possible. Believe with every fibre of your soul that you have what you are requesting.

6) Speak your desire aloud. Utter “I desire (whatever).” Explain why this request will harm no person or other creature. State you desire to attract this thing to you right at this very moment. Repeat this aloud three times consecutively.

7) Express gratitude. Its desirable to openly express thanks for the life you lead and all you have already learned. Say to whom and for what you're grateful and why. Be honest with yourself.  Don't hold back.  Speak from the heart.

8) Leave it to the High Self. End the ritual with positive feelings and a sense you've done what you can. No need to dwell on your desire. You’ve passed that hot potato to your High Self energy and it will reverberate. The how it will happen part isn’t up to you. We aren't  meant to be concerned with what the Higher Self will do next.
