What is an Indigo Youth, Anyway?

First of all, hello world! My name is Emer ní Brid (that's Emer, daughter of Brigid/Brid, for those of you who don't know Irish Gaelic), and I'm here to spread the word about the Indigo Youth in Action organization and various aspects of spiritual and psychic growth and awareness. No, this isn't a Pagan blog, don't worry. The information here will be applicable and useful to people on all walks of life, no matter what your spiritual leanings. This is a place for anyone who's interested in metaphysics and exploring or strengthening psychic abilities. 

So what is an Indigo youth*, anyway? Named after the abnormal amount of indigo coloring in their auras, Indigo youths are young people who exhibit a wide variety of psychic gifts and are often thought to have incarnated now as the next wave of human evolution, or to help save the human race from themselves. Regardless of why you think Indigo youth are here, we're here and people are awakening to their Indigo nature every day. 

Personally, I have empathic abilities. That means I can sense the feelings of others around me, even vaguely, and can project my own emotions if I'm not careful. Empathy is generally considered to help with divination and healing, but can be extremely detrimental if uncontrolled, like all psychic gifts. Other members of our group are clairsentients (they 'know' the future, or things happening in other places that they couldn't physically know about), spirit communicators, and intiutives. We definitely range the gamut of psychic gifts. 


Some common traits of Indigo youth: 

• Very clear knowledge of who they are after a certain age
• Difficulty with authority 
• Extreme stubbornness 
• Hatred of standing in line/waiting, and other various activities
• Nonconformity 
• Either strong empathic tendencies or is completely shut off 
• Displays symptoms of ADD/ADHD 
• Easily bored
• Generally very intelligent
• Creative
• Frustrated with ritual-based systems
• Wisdom beyond their years

 Of course, Indigo traits aren't restricted to children and young adults. Indigo adults do certainly exist! And some of them are the fantastic leaders of the IYiA. So, if you feel like you may be an Indigo, have psychic gifts and are interested in exploring them, or are just want to learn more, please stop by often! And don't be afraid to drop by our Facebook page, either. We'd love to see you! 
 


*For the purposes of this blog, I will not be using the term "Indigo Children," as most of us in the IYiA organization are no longer children, but youths and young adults!
