Recently, I've gotten a lot of interest and questions from those recently discovering that they too are Indigo Adults. Last year I wrote more in depth about what and who an Indigo Child/Adult is. Many of these questions are incredibly common and don't seem to be addressed in other places. So I thought I would devote this blog post to answering those questions.

Q: I seem to have many of the qualities of an Indigo, now what? What do I do with it?

Indigo's are simply people who were born at a higher vibration than the generation before. So we feel, very starkly, the contrast from the previous generation to this one. Many of us are angels, guides, fairies, Masters, etc born into a human body. Because of this and the resulting amnesia from incarnating we have a lot of issues being on Earth and then not knowing why we feel so powerful when everyone around us treats us otherwise. So what you do with your amazing energy is up to you. The overall purpose is to help those who are not like us. Many Indigo's have a propensity to separate and isolate "us" from "them" but this is the opposite of what the higher energies want us to do. Unfortunately, not many sources outside of yourself can tell you exactly what you are supposed to be doing. In the process of discovering your purpose you discover your "soul self" or who your higher energy is (guide, angel, etc). So this is a bit of a lonely journey of the soul. Some people can tell you that you are supposed to be a healer or that you are an Earth Angel but not much beyond that. That is because the guides want us to discover this for ourselves. In doing this we then can help others in the process of discovering themselves. Plus, as Indigo's we don't like people telling us what to do…so you wouldn't really listen if someone did give you the answer anyway.

Q: I want to learn more but can't seem to find any more information. Why not?

There is not a lot of information out there beyond the characteristics. That is because the path of the Indigo is unique even though we exhibit similar characteristics. It would be like saying all people of Italian descent have one purpose. Being Indigo is more of a culture than anything else. We come from other galaxies or dimensions so we all struggle through the human and Earthly experience in a similar way. We are all immigrants but now that we are here our paths are as unique as the bodies we were given. There really is no road map once we get to this planet. The guides ask us to find our intuition and develop a relationship with them individually rather than depending on others for information. Since each connection and purpose is unique following another's word or theory will lead us astray. The answers will be given to you directly from the guides. Strengthen your relationship with them and you will be on your way.

Q: I feel this urge this power or this need to do something but I don't know what.

This is incredibly common in Indigo's and is probably one of the most defining characteristics in my opinion. Since we are from such higher energies and we were incarnated for a very specific purpose then we have an incredibly amount of power and drive stored up inside of us. Added on top of that a feeling of limitation by our bodies and minds since we are not used to dealing with these normally. But there is a time and process when this is expressed and opened within us. For some our purposes are not now, soon, but not now. The feeling inside can be painful and frustrating. Some things that help are creative pursuits such as art, music, even raising children. This is because our job here is to create a new world which is the highest form of creation. Being creative in more "mundane" ways can help tremendously. Another thing that is really important is to make peace with being here. That means get involved with life instead of waiting for that purpose to arrive. Make friends, have fun, and drop your anchor. You have to be committed to being here to start your purpose.

Q: What can I do with the label "Indigo"?

Nothing really. Indigo helps people identify and validate their feelings and experiences. It helps Indigo's feel like less than a freak and then you can go out and meet others just like you. It also helps to know that there is a reason you are here and a purpose to be fulfilled. Once that happens the "job" of knowing you are an Indigo is done. Drop the label and then move onto discovering who you really are on a soul level, connect to your guides and begin discovering, then living your purpose. But sticking to the label and culture of Indigo can really limit your power. It can also begin the process of separating yourself from others who are seeming non-Indigo's which runs counter to your purpose being here. So it really is important to just move on knowing that you are special and there is a reason you struggle so much just being in your own skin.

There are so many other questions about what it is like or what it means to be an Indigo Child/Adult. Please feel free to post them in the comments section and I would love to add them to this article.
