indigo girl

There’s this song I remember from when I was much younger.  It was my very first ringtone, back when cellphones just started playing tunes as ringtones.  It was called, indigo girl, by Watershed.  I could never understand why I liked this song so much.  It’s not really particularly memorable,  very basic chords, easy lyrics..   But when this song plays on the radio, it immediately draws my attention.  I can be inside the shop at the garage, buying cigarettes, I can be busy typing a difficult email at work or maybe just talking to someone in the car.. I can be in a crowded room with people yelling and screaming, doesn’t matter.  If it plays, I hear it.  It must have touched my soul for some reason, so I decided to do a bit of research to find out why:

Let’s start with the colour INDIGO:

INDIGO relates to the BROW chakra or third eye which is in the centre of the forehead.  (Amazing hey!!)   The related organs to this chakra are the eyes, lower head and sinuses and the endocrine gland is the pituitary gland.

Indigo relates to self-responsibility, that is to say, being responsible for one's own life; responsibility to oneself to follow the soul's path and needs and trusting one's own intuition. The ability to see things from a 'higher' viewpoint rather than purely for satisfaction of the ego or one's material comfort.  Intuitive messages are unique to you and are for your own personal development.

How gorgeous is that?

So what is an Indigo Child?

Indigo children is a term used to describe children who are believed to possess special, unusual and sometimes supernatural traits or abilities. The term is pseudoscientific.   The idea is based on New Age concepts developed in the 1970s by Nancy Ann Tappe and further developed by Jan Tober and Lee Carroll.  The interpretations of these beliefs range from their being the next stage in human evolution, in some cases possessing paranormal abilities such as telepathy, to the belief that they are more empathetic and creative than their peers.

Kinda like Heroes, or the X-men... AWESOME!!!

Descriptions of indigo children include :

• the belief that they are empathetic, curious, strong-willed, independent, and often perceived by friends and family as being strange;
• possess a clear sense of self-definition and purpose;
• exhibit a strong innate sub-conscious spirituality from early childhood (which, however, does not necessarily imply a direct interest in spiritual or religious areas);
• a strong feeling of entitlement, or "deserving to be here."
• a high intelligence quotient, an inherent intuitive ability; and
• resistance to rigid, control-based paradigms of authority.

Interesting…

Mmmmm.... I don’t know what to make of all this yet…
