Who are the Indigo, Crystal,
and Rainbow Children?

Who are the “Indigo”, “Crystal” and “Rainbow” children?

These names have come to represent the New Age children because of their similarly colored auras.  The Indigos display a deep indigo blue in their aura.  Crystals have transparent auras reflecting many pastel colors.  The Rainbow children are said to radiate energy like a rainbow.  Each of these groups is perhaps more easily identified by various characteristics and personality traits.

Born since the early 1980’s, the Indigo Children are highly clairvoyant and possess what has been called a “warrior spirit”.  They often display a temper and tend to act out in traditional educational settings, which only serve to confine them.  As a result, many of these precious children are misunderstood and all too often medicated into submission.  Their high intelligence, feisty temperaments and intolerance of the status quo are designed to “wake us up” so we can see the lack of integrity that exists in our society today.  The Indigos’ collective consciousness is here to help us break down old standards that no longer serve us, particularly in education, law and government.  They are leading the way to change.

Following on the heels of the Indigos are the Crystal children, born since the mid-1990’s.  This group is quite different, as they possess a very sensitive, loving and gentle nature.  These kids are easily recognized by their eyes, usually their most prominent feature.    When locking eyes with a Crystal child, you feel as if your soul has been exposed.
These children are what I call “hard wired” for spiritual communication.  Often late talkers, these toddlers rely on telepathy and other forms of non-verbal communication during their first few years.  Many Crystal children are tested for speech delays or autism.  Once talking, they joyously tell of past lives, spirits and angels.  They are fascinated with rocks and crystals.  They are particularly drawn to animals and the elderly.  They often have food and environmental sensitivities.  They are extremely empathic.  Crystal children are marching to a different beat and when in their presence, they are so lovable that you can’t keep yourself from joining them.  And that’s exactly what they want us to do!

The Rainbow children are the smallest population of New Age children, as they are just beginning to arrive.  With early arriving Crystal children as their parents, these kids are simply here to serve others.  The Rainbow children are without karmic ties and fear nothing.  These special children are very psychic and spiritually aware.  They embody our true potential as human beings.

In my mother’s day, the adage “a child should be seen and not heard” dictated how she was raised.  Today, her grandchildren are seen, heard, recorded, reflected upon and learned from.  The New Age children have much to teach us.  By listening, we can help guide a generation into their greatness.
