Indigo Nutrition and Healing Support

Since the late sixties, there has been a wave of new vibrationally high children coming to the earth in response to prayers for earth angels to help bring the planet into a new paradigm. Although it has taken some time for adults, teachers and healers to come to an understanding of who these children are, why they came, and how to help them, progress has been made simply by acknowledging them. n nWe have had the blessing of healers, such as Doreen Virtue, who have educated the public about these beautiful souls, providing a welcome mat and invitation for them to flourish on earth as well as the support and tools needed for them to accomplish their mission. On her CD Indigo, Crystal and Rainbow Children, Virtue re-claims the label ADHD (Attention Deficit with Hyperactivity Disorder) as "Attention Dialed in to a Higher Dimension," which I think is fabulous! I recommend her CD because it is very enjoyable and humorous listening and will create a space for you to have that "aha" moment of seeing the people in your life, and perhaps yourself, within a conscious evolutionary framework.n nI come to this theme and this article from both a personal and professional standpoint. I am what I call a "harmonized Indigo," where the Indigo intensity has been channeled and redistributed in constructive way. I am beginning to take on much Crystal energy, and believe that one may "transcend, mend and blend" as I phrase it. Recently, in a conversation with some Indigo, Crystal, and cusp sixth graders I work with, the question came up, "Teacher, which one is better, Indigo or Crystal?" To which I replied, "It's not about better, it's about holding different spaces at different moments based on what is needed on the planet. Both are important in their own way, and there are cusp children who are born with both Indigo and Crystal energies, as well as the opportunity for learning from and taking on the beauty of each."n nI wish to be clear that my article, website and professional support for these adults and children is not about focusing on labels. There is no diagnosis for "Indigo" or "Crystal." These are simply nuanced ways of describing the sensitive, vibrationally high and beautiful children (many now adults) who are here on the planet and who, at a soul level, would like to heal as well as help the planet to heal. Their frustration often comes from no self-recognition, no recognition by others, and a stuck, sad, useless feeling, which can even turn into a self-destructive pattern.n nThere is a photo of myself at around nine years old, sitting in a treetop, staring with intense, sad eyes out at the world, feeling misunderstood. It captures the essence of an Indigo child. The good news is that I no longer feel that way! I was, thankfully, identified as "Gifted and Talented," which really meant, "These kids are so smart and so intense, and so bored in a regular classroom, that we just don't know what to do with them!" So programs were developed in states like Maryland to hire talented and creative teachers (from the Lightworker generation, also addressed in Virtue's CD) who were interested in working with such "gifted" kids in small group settings. It was a start, and I can assure you a saving grace for me. Even with that, on the best of days I fueled my inner Indigo through angry and sad poetry, and speeding around in sports cars with drunk drivers to head-bashing heavy metal tunes on the worst days.n nIt is almost impossible to put into words the inner intensity that an Indigo feels, but one way is that it feels like megawatts of burning energy vascillating between "Can someone share this joy with me?" and sheer indignation about all the injustice, lack of integrity, inauthenticity, and suffering in the world. Indigo intensity can turn inward as self-destruction if not channeled and given arenas for expression. Yes, we were hyper, because we were anxious to do something with this energy--and were so frustrated about our spirits being squashed or contained.n nThe irony of this article is that I am in a very healed space and am only bringing my past to the table for the purposes of helping Indigos who are not being seen or heard, or who have just been recognized and would like to know that a 37-year-old adult has been in that space and understands the walk.nnThe following three lists provide some "food for thought" for those desiring to heal their own, or someone else's, inner Indigo.n nPotentially Harmful for IndigosnnPharmaceutical drugs such as antibiotics which further dampen their immune systems that are already weighted down by the societal stress they carrynPharmaceutical drugs such as anti-depressants or psychotropics which are used to "control" behavior with ADD and ADHDnHousehold chemicals, toxic fumes, or cigarette smokenCondescending tones of conversation which do not recognize who they are and allow for self-expressionnRefined sugarsnAlcohol or recreational drugsnArtificial dyes and coloringnPlastic, packaged foodsnWhite flournPastries, donuts, candy, cookiesnLow-protein dietsnPoor-quality dairy productsnSleep deprivationnExtreme temperatures, especially cold, damp, drafty environmentsnFeeling "trapped"nLack of contact with other Indigos or CrystalsnIsolationn nPotentially Helpful for Indigosn nLove, love, and more lovenOpportunities for creativitynConstructive and meaningful activity--academic, social, physical, and spiritualnKnowing they are understood and recognized (crucial)nWorking with teachers, nutritionists, and doctors who are well-versed in this phenomenonnHerbs and natural remedies when needed, instead of pharmaceuticalsnNatural healing plans for those who have been diagnosed with ADD or ADHD, which is actually a treatable autoimmune disordernTapping into Indigo or Crystal support groupsnJournalingnWatching movies or reading books about the phenomenonnAlternative school environments according to the needs of the childnIn some cases, gifted programs which can promote academic success and fulfillmentnAttending an alternative-style college, or one that involves travelnTraveling and adventure with a caring adultnSunshinenContact with naturen"Tough love" and "firm love" within a framework of, "I see you, I recognize you, I am committed to you"n nBasic Nutritional & Healing Notes for Supporting Indigosn nThink dark and rich: Indigos do well with dark, vibrantly colored foods, as these seems to match their vibration. Kale, dark leafy greens in general, wild blueberries, acai, cherries, dark organic chocolate without a lot of sugar, ripe red papaya, fresh-squeezed vegetable juice, and wheatgrass juice all tend to provide healing support for Indigos.nnSufficient protein, including choices from the animal and vegetable kingdom, are also important, as are healthy fats, which are very soothing for the nervous system.nnAnother good idea is to start with a 50/50 Raw-Cooked Diet to provide enzymes and easy-to-digest foods for the Indigo tendency towards having a delicate gastro-intestinal system.nnHair analysis by a qualified professional is very helpful in evaluating mineral status and deficiencies, heavy metal toxicities, and even emotional and spiritual patterns in order to create a successful healing program.nnStool analysis by a qualified professional is extremely helpful in assessing gut function, especially for ADD spectrum diagnoses. The healing process for ADD-type situations starts nutritionally in the gut, and improvements are tenfold when combined with the Regenetics Method (see below).nnThe Regenetics Method helped me tremendously, both as a client and a Facilitator, to transcend the parts of my Indigo that needed healing. This deep system of healing at the DNA level brings about profound changes in regards to self-empowerment, self-awareness, self-recognition, physical detoxification, and preparation for the lightbody, which is the new physiology for which these children began to arrive.nnFinally, ongoing nutritional, emotional, and spiritual coaching from a health professional well-versed in this phenomenon can be essential. I provide three-month coaching programs for all of my clients, including Indigo adults and children who would like special focus on transcending and healing.nnPostscript: The ADD-Autism Spectrum & the Indigo-Crystal PhenomenonnBroken down into basic spiritual terminology, the ADD-Autism spectrum is a vast arena where Indigos and Crystals exist. Depending on how these sensitive beings were received into the world, and how much information the parents had at the time, physical outcomes vary. This is in no way a judgement of parents. I am grateful to these parents for being the deliverers of these special beings, and I understand that they did the best they could with the information they had. My own Indigo path took me to a "bring-me-to-my-knees" near-fatal illness which opened up my Lightworker and Crystal energy to soften and heal the circuitry overload that occurred, otherwise known as "Chronic Fatigue Syndrome" (CFS).n nThere are major contributing factors that can determine the course of health for Indigo and Crystal children. With all love and respect for my parents, who thankfully brought me to this earth, factually speaking, I was born under anesthesia, vaccinated, raised on a standard diet including fast food and junk food, and given antibiotics--at which point I began depriving myself of sleep and rest in college, as well as consuming alcohol. On top of this, as part of the first wave of Indigos, I carried a lot of microbes and toxins "societally" for others, leaving me with quite a toxic load. Happily, CFS is now seen in the nutritional world as resulting from an immune-system breakdown, and when treated as such, it typically improves.n nThe place to start is a proper evaluation of minerals and gut function. The healing process is not as complicated as it seems. Through proper nutritional support, combined with evolutionary activation at the DNA level, Indigos and Crystals not only can heal, but can begin to strengthen and shine. At this point they often need less care and overprotection, become more prepared to feel the joy of being a high-vibrational being, and eventually even help hold space for planetary healing within a context of natural flow and rightness, without the need for deep suffering.n
