Understanding The Children Of Today

I have noticed alot of people asking questions on what is an Indigo, Crystal, Rainbow child. I have three children who have their own unique traits and personalities. I believe the children of today are all here for a reason. I have read alot of books and have spoken to a number of people about the children of today. Just last week I had my daughters new teacher call me to discuss her behaviour in the classroom in which she had explained my daughters characteristics. I asked her if she had heard of the Indigo child and she replied No and in that sentence I told her that what she had said was the characteristics of an Indigo child.

From reading and listening to what others have said I do believe these groups of children all need to be fully understood and require alot of support as they can experience deep emotional pain as they strive to utilize the gifts they have been blessed with.

Each child is unique and does have a gift of their own. We are all born with intuitive abilities and have them, many just need to learn how to use them again. This knowledge is always there but we forget it because of the mass consciousness of society. That is why the children of today, society does not understand them, teachers punish them, parents take them to the doctors and doctors prescribe them pills from their essence.

All children are equal and there is no naming any one child as more special than another. I have put together a summary of the two most common characteristics found in some children today:-

Indigo Children

The “Indigo” which I call my daughter “Indigo Warrior” are the children that are often mis-diagnosed as having ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder). They have an enormous amount of energy and refuse to follow orders of direction.  They do not like discipline and authority and get bored very easily. They  need to be given as much freedom to flourish and time must be taken by their parents to listen to what “They” have to say. They look at their parents as role models and like to be treated as a best friend. With the Indigo child you need to be very supportive and help them remain positive in their quest as they already know their life path.

Most common Characteristics of a Indigo are:-

• Usually strong willed, but sometimes can lack self esteem.
• Highly energetic, true warrior spirit - very athletic.
• Have difficulty with authority and discipline.
• Are talented, intelligent, creative with what they choose to do.
• Often powerfully intuitive, psychically aware and quite often telepathic.
• Easily bonds with animals and nature.
• Gets bored rather easily.
• Refuse to follow orders or directions, lacks patience and waiting in line is difficult for them.
• Often sees better ways of doing things at home and school.
• Does not respond to guilt trips, want good reasons.
• Often express anger outwardly rather than inwardly and may have trouble with rage.
• Looks for real, deep and lasting friendships.
• Need, want and respect boundaries that are consistent and fair.
• Intolerant to those who display hypocrisy, ignorance and arrogance.
• Needs parents support to discover themselves.
• Possess a deep desire to help the world in a big way.

Crystal Children 

The “Crystal” children is what I call one of my sons. Very special and have an air of authority around them emitting to others “I know what I want”. Most have beautiful penetrating eyes which appear to hypnotize you and their personality is usually happy, loving, forgiving and nurturing. They are normally blissfully content and love to climb and explore with utter confidence and balance. You will find that many of them have delayed speech patterns and may wait until three or four years old before they begin to speak.

Most common Characteristics of a Crystal are:-

• Loving, forgiving, sensitive, magnetic personalities.
• Beautiful eyes with an intense stare.
• Very affectionate and nurturing.
• Have food allergies, can be “picky” when it comes to food.
• Do not like clothing, like clothing that is soft, loose and natural.
• Start talking late in childhood.
• Have a strong desire to help others, especially children in need.
• Like to play with stones and crystals.
• Love being outdoors in nature and love animals.
• Exhibit healing abilities and communicate telepathically.
• Sensitive to planetary and cosmic energy, such as the moon.
• Most are highly intelligent and Wise old souls.

While many people are uncomfortable with certain aspects of these characteristics and especially with the expectations being placed on these children, it is gaining greater acceptance in the mainstream because of the solutions put forth by its proponents - that our schools need to be overhauled to deal with  todays children, that drugging our kids is NOT an answer, and that todays children need to be understood properly and prepared for the world.

Also, I believe childrens emotional wholeness is the foundation for their life. When their emotional wholeness is strong and clear, they can accomplish so much and be fulfilled and happy as a person. This is the most important gift you can give your child. You lay an emotional foundation for your child, whether you are aware of it or not. Every interaction with your child and every experience they have in life creates the emotional environment in which they develop, whether your child is 7 weeks, 7 years or 17 years old. These experiences help them build strong emotional resources and the ability to flourish.
 
I would like to see parents today making a commitment in making their childrens emotional wholeness a priority and to watch what new things as a parent you discover and what experiences occur in your childs life and in your own. The children today are here to change the world and help us all to live in greater harmony, peace and happiness with one another.

Chakras + Balance = New You

Life has its challenges, especially in today’s current economic climate.  Stressed out?  Feeling Angry?  Many people attempt to treat their situation by drinking, smoking, taking pills or even simply taking a nap to forget about it. They just bury their heads in the sand and hope that the problem will simply disappear. In our lives we experience various problems, sometimes on a daily basis. What is even worse is the fact that we do nothing to fix these problems at the source.

Every mental, physical or emotional experience is connected in some way to a specific Chakra. Chakras are energy centres in the body. There are seven major Chakras located  along our spine from the base to the crown of the head. Each one has a special attribute that helps the body use energy most effectively and has a distinct purpose in the body. Where they are located, is indicative of the task each Chakra is responsible for. Without our Chakras our bodies would be empty shells and they must all work together in order to create balance in our lives. For example, if you are stressed the Chakra itself will become unbalanced and you will need to balance the Chakra related to stress in order to solve it. If you do not take care of your unbalanced Chakras, you will become physically ill over time.

Everyone has the ability to get in touch with their Chakras and balance them properly. The Chakras are very powerful elements in our bodies. Just by using the right methods, you can instantly get a jump start and be on your way to better health and feel more alive than you have ever felt in years. The best way to balance your Chakras is by meditating each day. Also by going for regular check ups and getting plenty of rest is important. Cleansing your soul in taking time out on a regular basis and doing something for your happiness will create a healthy new you.

Don’t be like most people today who discredit the Chakras. The only reason why they think that way is because they don’t understand them. You have the opportunity to take the step that many people never take and gain control over your life by simply learning how to use the power of your Chakras. Remember, when the Chakras are open, aligned and balanced you are at an absolute optimal level of health. But when one or more of your Chakras becomes closed, unbalanced or out of alignment you can suffer from great discomfort and even a wide variety of health problems.

Affirmations for each Chakra are very beneficial as well, as the thoughts we think and the words we speak create our experiences in being able to balance the Chakras. For each Chakra your mind, body and soul can obtain a clearer perception and acquire a new inner strength and guidance to be able to handle any issues that life throws at you.

Below you will find a brief explanation of the Seven Major Chakras. All are associated with different body parts, emotions and life areas. Each Chakra is represented by a colour of the rainbow - Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo and Violet (ROY G BIV) :-)).

Make Your Dreams Become Your Reality

Do you want to live the lifestyle you have always dreamed and wanted?  If so, you have to learn how to make these dreams come true. You deserve to live your dream life.

I believe that everyone can live their life this way. You have the capability and the potential. All you have to do is learn how to turn that potential and capability into your reality.

You can certainly make it happen if you genuinely want it to happen! Here are some points to help you on your journey in living your dreams.

 

-  The first step to making your dreams come true is to find out what your dreams are. You have to know what you really want to achieve in your life. Many people live a mediocre life because they do not have any targets in their life. They work from 9 in the morning until 5 in the evening without knowing the reason. You need to have a direction in your life and you need to know the reason you wake up every morning. So find out what you really want to achieve now.

If you are doing something that you love, you will automatically come up with energy to keep doing it. You will be able to stay up late and never feel tired because you are passionate about it. This is the reason successful people are able to work longer hours and harder than most people, this is because to them, it is not working, it is enjoying the process.

-  Once you know what you want, you must make them into goals. You must write down what you want to achieve on a piece of paper and paste this paper where you can see it often. Many people underestimate this step. In fact, this is the most important step to manifest your dreams and your goals. Therefore, take out a piece of paper and do this step right now. Make sure your goals are specific and have deadlines.

Your visionary will determine your success. You must be able to project into the future and manifest what you want to achieve in your life. Think forward from now, and think what kind of lifestyle you want to live, how much you want to earn and how are you going to live your life?  Finding out what you want to achieve in the future is the fundamental success in living your dream life.

-  Next step is to take consistent action according to your goals. You must develop a to-do list that allows you to make your goals come true. And as long as you follow through this list of action, you will definitely achieve your goals. The key is to take consistent action everyday and move one step closer toward your goals. Your commitment is a factor that will determine whether you will achieve your dreams. Put in 100% commitment into making your dreams come true. Do whatever it takes to make your goals come true. You must decide from now that failure is not an option, and you need to spend time and energy to realize your dreams.

You must also be willing to learn in your industry or your field. In order to be successful in what you do, you must adopt the habit of constant and never-ending learning. Read and keep on improving yourself in your field and you will succeed.

-  The final step is to believe that you can achieve what you really want in your life. If you do not believe that you can achieve what you want, you will never achieve them. When you believe that you will achieve what you want, you will tap into the full potential and you will do whatever it takes to make them come true.

Just remember that imagination, visualisation and your subconscious mind are so powerful in helping you achieve your dreams. Make full use of these to live your ideal life! Remind yourself that success is about getting things done.  As long as you follow through and take the necessary action, you will achieve what you want and Live Your Dream.
