It can feel challenging as a parent no matter what your situation. Even the most “perfect” of parents go to bed every night with doubts about the day, fears about tomorrow, and concerns about their child’s future. It just goes with the territory.
Becoming a parent was one of the most selfless choices you’ve ever made. It extended your life and love unconditionally into the life another, a brand new Soul who entered this world because of YOU. That is a true honor on both ends.
One of my friends recently asked me what the best thing about parenting is. I told him, “The Joy. I never knew joy until I had my son. I thought I did. But what I knew was happiness. Joy is something divinely inspired. The depths are deeper than anything I’ve ever known. And the unconditional love that you have for your child grows exponentially every day. Becoming a mom was the best thing that ever happened to me.”
One of the challenges I wasn’t expecting in parenthood was what it would be like to be an Indigo Child (me) raising a Crystal Child (my son).
Although spiritually we’re both New Children, I had no idea how different it would be. I knew what I went through in my childhood, and it wasn’t pleasant. Being an empath felt painful, lonely, confusing, and scary.
But Crystal children seem to have come here already risen above all of that. They came with a joy and a strength already instilled. This is partly due to the downloads they received prior to coming here and the sacred spiritual time they spent learning before returning here in this lifetime.
I am constantly amazed at the things my son (who is now 3) came here already knowing. One day, when he was only 18 months old, I watched him perform a healing on our dog. It was amazing. I never taught him how to do that.
When he was only a year old, he saw a painting of an angel in my room and pointed to it with a beaming smile. I asked him if he’d seen anything like that before, and he nodded, and proceeded to fly his hand through the air and say, “Swoooooosh!” like an angel was taking off into flight.
A few weeks ago, a friend of mine reached out to me about healing his lower back pain. It was challenging to find the root cause of it, and many of the usual answers were not popping up as being the issue.
I sat down in the living room to read one of my reiki books, and my son casually walked over to me, took the book out of my hands, randomly flipped it to a section, folded down a page, closed the book, and handed it back to me. He walked away as if nothing had happened. I immediately opened the book up to the page he marked and saw that the entire page was about lower back pain and how it’s often caused by overactive adrenals. I was shocked. That was the answer, and he knew it.
This brings up another important aspect of Rainbow and Crystal Children: many of them are not only intuitive, but they are also clairaudient and can read thoughts. This happens frequently with my son.
This means that as an Indigo, you have to be honest ALL THE TIME with your child. And more importantly, with yourself.
I remember being a kid and knowing intuitively when someone was lying to me. But I didn’t actually hear their thoughts. With Rainbow and Crystal Children, they often do. So when they hesitate to go near a certain person or they get angry because you’re not letting them do something, stop yourself and check in. What is really going on here?
Take a moment to feel into the situation and the deeper meaning or energy resonating from it.
Maybe they know something about that person that you don’t. Maybe they know something needs to be done, or you need to avoid going to a certain place that day. These kids are highly intuitive and tuned in with the Divine realm, higher energies, and universal energy. The best thing you can do for them is to check in yourself, and trust the messages that you receive.
As Indigos, we are Lightworkers and warriors of Love and Light. But that fighter side of us is a very different energy from the flowy, gentle, and joyful energy of the Rainbows or the strong and profound knowingness of the Crystals. So when you’re an Indigo parent of one of these younger New Children, be conscious of your energy around them and always act from a heart-centered place.
One of the best things you can do to improve your parenting experience is to clear, ground, and protect yourself, and rejoice in the differences of these generations.
Align yourself with Divine Truth. Unleash your intuition. Set yourself free to love unconditionally. Your skills and rewards of parenting will leap a thousand times forward.
Unconditional Love and Light,
Lauren
