So these are the Indigo traits I believe to be true, and I would like to know if you have any of them….just remember that Indigo’s are born, to create lightworkers…metaphorically Indigo’s are the new world teacher, you can be taught the arts and the ways of the Indigo’s but only Indigo’s are born that way….and I am using the word Indigo now cuz the institution has exhausted all the other terms and totally alienated the experience/gift.
1. You feel ancient to the core, as though you have existed forever.
2. You are soul tired, and simply want to go ‘home’.
3. You remember what home feels like even if you can’t verbalize it.
4. You felt unique as a child, as though no one else was like you, it felt like there was them (humanity) and you. You may have even felt special or lofty regardless of your social stature.
5. From as far back as your earliest memory, your life has been littered with paranormal and psychic experiences. This may have manifested as: seeing ghosts, or other entities, seeing inte-rdimensionally or into other times, seeing beyond the illusion, reading others thoughts, dreams that came true, UFO sightings and much much more.
6. Your empathetic gifts are so strong it can almost be too much at times.
7. Your body functions differently to others. It is more finely tuned and has a habit of reacting unlike other peoples. Doctors are often stumped by you and a natural lifestyle is imperative to your good health.
8. You are very intelligent, but not necessarily interested in academics.
9. You struggle to find what you want to do with your life because nothing in this reality really intrigues you enough to be dedicated to it. A part of you remembers so much more that life here is almost banal.
10. You have trouble being in touch with your body, or its limitations frustrate you, because you remember far more freedom. Part of you feels you should be able to fly, teleport or instantaneously manifest.
11. You have known since you were very tiny that you had a purpose or a mission to fulfill, even though the details may be elusive.
12. You have an extraordinary dream life, and waking life seems dull in comparison.
13. Others are often wary of you, and you were most likely singled out as a child and bullied or ignored. Friends were and are often few and far between. People instinctually know you are different even if they don’t understand why.
14. You can read people, they don’t even necessarily have to speak, you can just feel who they are, which is why you cannot be lied to. You see beyond the facade, and that makes people uncomfortable around you.
15. Babies and small children are often drawn to you, something about you fascinates them.
16. Animals tend to trust you, and you have a natural understanding of their wants and needs, as though you can communicate on some level.
17. Conversation frustrates you because you know what the other person is going to say long before they say it. Often you appear rude in conversation, either appearing disinterested or butting in and answering the question before it is completed.
18. Some may describe you as aloof, but when they get to know you, you are actually incredibly warm and loving.
19. You have created certain protective elements to survive in society because you find being around people quite hard, even painful at times, and you can only handle large crowds of people in very brief doses.
20. You are aware that you are an inter-dimensional ascended being here to assist humanity at this time, and you may have some memories of your incarnations on this earth, leading up to this time. This knowledge is within you.
21. You have natural healing abilities, whether it be with your hands or through the comfort you give with your words.
22. You often find random strangers tell you their problems and friends seek you out for counsel, even from when you were very young.
23. You were advanced as a young child, speaking, reading, walking earlier than normal.
24. Some may have described you as a precocious child, you weren’t afraid to speak your mind.
25. You have had trouble sleeping most of your life, whether it was due to insomnia or to fears that reared their head at night. Visions you see at night don’t help the sleeplessness.
26. You have felt great despair or depression in your life, often connected to a desire to want to go home. Life here feels so very wrong.
27. You have difficulty comprehending why you would want to spend your life working at something you hate, so that you can spend all your money paying off your debts so that you can be like everyone else with the cool car and the mortgage. None of this makes any sense to you. You’d rather be poor than a slave to the system. People may view you as a drop out or lazy, but that has nothing to do with it.
28. You often feel connected to another place or time, and long for something deeper in your life.
29. You have an understanding of the divine beyond books, beyond religion, even if you can’t put it into words. Spirituality is part of you, it is inseparable and not learned but definitely built upon. You didn’t wake up to your spiritual self, because your spirituality has always been an intrinsic part of your nature.
30. You know that your origins are not human.

Please if you can relate to this post in any way, comment below. I would LOVE to talk to anyone who is tired of feeling like there is something wrong with themselves, or that being here is a mistake.. You are here for a reason

Are you stalking me? (lol)
I’m at least 90% of all of that, perhaps 100%, but there were a few words you used that i would not. I don’t think i remember “home,” but i sure would like to feel how i believe “home” should feel… if that makes sense.
Also, i feel as though almost all of this is “a little vague,” and could be perceived as “relatable” for quite a many individuals. Still, most of this accurately describes me… whether it’s all “new age woo,” or has any actual merit.
I don’t feel like being here, as who i am, as a human being in this world, is “a mistake,” because i don’t feel like i chose it. I think i’m just naturally here. I don’t think the word “mistake” can be applied. I don’t just “feel like” something is wrong with me. This world causes me such pain that i find myself spending quite a bit of time on a suicide story blog, because i’m willing to exit this world, even if i end up doing so before this supposed “purpose” is fulfilled.
Since there is a term for these types of people, these “indigo children,” i suppose that means there are others… and if i am unable to complete whatever “purpose” i’m supposedly here for, then the others will have to have better luck, be less stifled, and make up for what i couldn’t accomplish.
I found it interesting that you linked to tool’s ‘intension’ …
There was a time i used to listen to “disposition” on repeat, for hours on end.
“Mention this to me… watch the weather change…”
Hey! I am an Indigo. Just realized the term for it within the last year. I’ve always struggled with depression and suicidal thoughts. “Home” has never been this place. I’ve also felt with serious substance abuse issues. Lately my depression and suicidal thoughts are pretty intense. “Home” sounds better and better each time I go through these bouts. Any suggestions? Thank you, Savannah. Love & Light.
I don’t subscribe to the “indigo child” thing, but this describes me to a T.
“2. You are soul tired, and simply want to go ‘home’.”
This one resonates with me so much. I’ve moved many times, and my rationale I explain to people is “I want to find my home.” I don’t believe I’ve found it – yet – I love where I live right now, and people keep trying to make me move but I keep staying. I think maybe I’ve found my place, but I haven’t yet found my people.
I think I’m an Indigo as well and this makes it hard to relate to others, especially in a romantic way with women. I have always had dreams of flying and they are by far the best dreams I’ve had. People love coming to me with their problems and expect me to solve them, but come one, I have my own problems to deal with.
I have yet to test my healing abilities, but my palms do warm up during meditation and I have studied Reiki healing. I interrupt people when they’re talking too, because I am really good at reading people and knowing what they are going to say. God, I never asked to be like this. I just want to be ‘normal.’
I’ve read about Indigos before, but these characteristics seem to really resonate with me. I wonder how many people on suicideproject consider themselves Indigos?
Clevername,
Lol well, I am glad you enjoyed this post. It is eerily accurate isnt it? It is left somewhat vague for a reason. Simply making the point that these people are here and widely spread, but most of us don’t even know that WE are special, or that they can make a difference. It is the whole act of questioning “LIFE” that makes you different from other generations. If you change just one persons life/perspective for the better you have made a difference in the world. It’s the domino effect. You help one, he helps another, and so on. All we have to do is speak on it, talk about it, and that there is making a huge difference. The purpose of the indigo IS to speak out and question what is normal and what is accepted. to push the possibility of more to life than just this…
By mistake, I was referring to a lot of us that feel like they really don’t belong here, not so much as it was a mistake by being “here” or “choosing to be”, but more so not feeling as though they fit into “this reality” that modern day society tells us is normal . Because we don’t! We are the beginning of a new awareness. Of a new shift in this world, that has been spiraling since our very beginning, called evolution of consciousness. Evolution doesn’t just stop at homo sapiens, and the indigo’s are here to help push us forward into evolution…
But of course this is only my perception of this subject. I am open to any comments you have 🙂
This is the song started my search for the meaning of the indigo child.
Of course the great Maynard James Keenan has helped me through his music

Embargo,
Thank you for taking the time to read my post. Home is where the heart is. Look within your own heart.
It might sound cheesy, but most of those cheesy old quotes out there hold good intention. I am still learning this one myself
Love, Mother of Flowers
Dave_N,
I would say most, if not all, of the beautiful souls on this site are.
I try miniture healing sessions with my husband. massage his back while i concetrate on the parts that need healing and heat flows from my hands, like you described. But if i practice too long at one time I get horrible cramps in my hands, and have to shake off the pain. I literally feel pain flow into my hand then out again once i release. It is an amazing experience for both myself and my husband. He says he can also feel heat in his muscles.
I would definitely recommend the book “The Celestine Prophecy” to anyone who is interested in energy and the importance of awakening. It will blow your mind. The author wrote it as a novel to touch more than one type of reader, but the importance of the lessons in the book are real.
Peace be with you. 🙂
ha, funny you should mention ‘The Celestine Prophecy.’ I read it with my ears, on audio cassettes, back when those were still used.
I’ve been recommending it to people for about a decade. Despite it being “fiction,” there are many good lessons in perspective, to take from it.
Also, funny you should mention the hands-thing… i tend to be rather naturally adept at using mine. It’s almost like i can see inside someone when i put my hands on them. It’s rather unfortunate that they mostly only get used for typing and gaming these days.
Clevername,
Somehow The Celestine Prophecy was just under my radar for quite a while… I remember hearing ABOUT the book but never actually read it myself. Just recently (About a few months ago) I came across it in a free auction website called Listia.com. The book was worn out and looked as though it has been through many hands. The insights have helped me see that I am not the only wierdo who believes that LOVE can overcome evil, no matter what evil we have endured. And that this world is obviously changing at a fast pace. Our voices need to be broken out of just whispers. We need to open the eyes of the people to this so-called “life”. I received the book at the perfect time in my life, a huge time of growth and understanding. I just want to bring as many people as i can to the truth.
I get pleasure, or more like satisfaction, from bringing joy and relief to someone. to exchange energy and to recharge another. I am obviously still learning about all of this, but I am more than open to receiving it. Life as we know it will progress as long as we stay together in LOVE. But we have to be aware of our surroundings, and be able to question them. We were born with such amazing power, and our conscious knows that in order to understand this power we have to be aware of our strengths and practice them. Without practice you never know your full potential
Peace & Love <3

Hmmm….interesting….gotta give this some thought…any ideas about distinctions between Indigo Children and the intellectually gifted?
Is there a point to the belief system of what is called the “Indigo Child”?
i totally believe im a star child/indigo child.. thats why we go through the most crap. because if we can make it past the pain there is something huge at the end.
