Many people go through their entire lives not realizing why they feel "different" or why they don't "fit" in with their peers. They may be teased and chastised. They may struggle to make sense of the world. Other people may look at them oddly. They may grow into old age as reclusive and avoidant of others. They don't know why they feel "different", just that they do feel as though they came from another world.

If any of these things describes you, odds are good that you are an indigo child or indigo adult. If you are fortunate, you have grown up in a family of indigo children and indigo adults. You are aware that you are "special", that your family is genetically "special", and that you can grow or enhance your gifts and abilities. If you are unlucky, you have grown up in a family that hides and punishes you for being "different". Your parents or teachers may have labeled you as "spacey", "inattentive", "eccentric", and "quirky". They may have put you into special classes or even medicated you to quiet down your active mind.

Maybe you are a parent of an indigo child, and you are curious about opening up your child's skills, gifts and abilities. These abilities might initially scare the parents, teachers, or the child.
