Good question. If you scoot around the Internet you’ll find a lot of very ungrounded and often contradictory information about crystal children ranging over ground covering the moralistic, mystical, and even apocalyptic. Crystal children are about evolution and revolution and Christ consciousness and all this other jazz. They are the new kids, god’s gift, angel sent, the next step in our evolutionary process, and yada, yada, yada. This material often sounds reasonable but in the end can be very unsatisfying because it doesn’t seem to answer, in a very grounded fashion, the simple question–What are crystal children.

Crystal Child?

So what are crystal (or indigo) children. Well, if you want our opinion crystal children (and indigo children) are simply children born in a healthy and fully functioning physical body without the chakra blockages and genetic “negativity” that other children are born with. If you conceive of your body as having many energy centers (think Chinese acupuncture here), if you consider the fact that these energy centers can be blocked up and gunked up, and if you realize that this blockage can extend, through the programming of your genetic material, across lifetimes, then crystal children are simply children whose parents have cleared and healed and unblocked to the point where they are no longer passing on the fears, issues, and trauma that block the energetic development of the physical unit. This means simply that crystal and indigo children are born with better energy flow through the energy centers of their body.

Now as innocuous as this might seem, it is nevertheless very significant. The human body (all bodies in fact) are very powerful creative devices that have capabilities and functionality far beyond what we consider “normal.” Our bodies are (potentially) amazingly sensitive, powerful, intelligent, intuitive, and rational. When they are born without past life damage, and when they are nurtured properly, they become these wonderful, sensitive, intuitive, powerful, and connected vehicles. The rub is, the problem is, because of the toxic conditions we live in, our bodies do not develop properly. While some of our capabilities become highly developed (our rational side, for example), other aspects of our bodies become stunted. Because of the negative and toxic socialization we experience, our bodies become emotionally disconnected, our intuitive and connective abilities (our “higher senses”) are cut off, and we become isolated in walled off boxes that are shadow of our true potential. This is our “normal” existence and it is a profound limitation. We don’t notice it, and we don’t think anything is wrong with it, because everyone else is the same way. If everybody around you has a broken arm you never stop to think that there’s a problem. You accept it as normal and go on with your life as if nothing is wrong.

This is what makes crystal and indigo children so hard to understand. In a world where everybody suffers the limitation of a broken arm, they do not have the limitation. Right from the get go they are fully functioning and this can be startling and disconcerting for those who have accepted the limitation of a damage physical body. What do you do with a child that will not bow to authority. What do you do with a child that does not fear spiritual contact, or that understands the need for pleasure and fun, or that demands affection, love, and good will, or that speaks their mind and tells you what they really think. It doesn’t sound like much, especially if you have never dealt with a child like this, but believe me, in a world that expects deference to authority, in a world where children are supposed to be seen and not heard, in a world where everybody is too busy to have fun and seek pleasure, crystal and indigo children can cause some pretty big waves not only for their parents, but for their aunts and uncles, teachers, and others. They don’t intend to (at least when they are children), but it happens anyway just because. Put somebody with two fully functioning arms into a room full of people with broken arms and you can’t help but cause waves. People will react, sometimes angrily, often defensively, and always with confusion and misunderstanding. The “new children” are a challenge. They challenge our sense of what is normal. They challenge our sense of what we are capable of. They challenge the “one armed” the systems we’ve put in place. They challenge everything.

So what do you do if you are dealing with a crystal or indigo child?

Well, there are two things you can do. One the one hand you can beat the child into submission. You can force them to be silent, punish them till they defer to authority, ignore them until their heart breaks, and indoctrinate them until they are afraid of God, Spirit, consciousness, and creation just like everyone else . If you do that, however, you take a glorious and fully functioning child of God and turn it into a normal human being just like everyone else. You can do this if you want, and it does work. Most of the children whom you destroy in this fashion will go and have normal careers with normal lives living the scripts put in place for them to make all that “normal” seem, well, ok. Of course, some (many?) of the children you destroy in this fashion won’t be able to live their normal lives and they will slowly self destruct, drinking, doing drugs, taking pills, and slowly destroying themselves and others around them. Unfortunately, this happens a lot more than you might think, especially if you trust what the psychologists are telling us, which is that the market for prescription anti-depressants has skyrocketed in the last couple of decades. The reality seems to be that there are a lot of crystal and indigo children out there, now adults, who are slowly self destructing because they were beaten (usually emotionally and intellectually, sometimes metaphorically) into submission.

The other thing you can do, if you are a parent of an Indigo or Crystal, or if you are yourself are an Indigo or Crystal, is learn and change. Having an Indigo or Crystal child, or being a crystal or indigo child, is a great opportunity to make this world a better place but you can only do that if you are willing to learn and change because that is what is called for here. If we want to raise healthy adults, if we want to retain the “powers” that crystals and indigos bring to this world, then we are the ones that have to change. There is no other way. If you try and force and Indigo or a Crystal child into the social structures, institutions, and behavioural patterns (i.e. scripts) that do not nurture their power and capabilities, they will suffer and they may break.

And why would you want to do that?

And besides, despite what you might read on some of the websites out there, these children are not special in any way. They are not God’s gift or the next step in evolution or anything like that. They are simply models for what we can be, for what we are if we just step outside the box and become what we are truly capable of. We, and by “we” we mean the general population of this earth, are already Crystal Children and Indigo Children. We live in bodies with the exactly the same features and capabilities as even the most “evolved” crystal child and all we have to do is return to our beauty and innocence. It can be a challenge at times, but we can all do it together. And you can start your journey right here where you will find (as the site grows) articles, forums, and books for crystal children that you can use to help you with the transformation that is necessary if you are going to provide a safe and healthy environment for your crystal child).
