Parenting Children with Indigo energy

Congratulations! In accepting to parent a child working with Indigo energy, you have chosen assignment level 10 out of 12! That shows that you are a courageous person, ready to increase your vibrational level to new heights to keep up with your task.
"Mumbo-Jumbo" New Age talk?
Really?
Let's look at the practical side of parenting "Indigos" (short for children working with Indigo energy, not to be confused with a fixed label). Since the Russian scientist Kirlian Semyon accidentally found out that the auric field (consisting of energy) can be photographed, even hard core scientists reallocated "aura-talk" a slot in "facts and figures".
Fast forward... Your bosses wife has just spent a fortune on his credit card. Miserable the entire day he shut all your inventive world-improving ideas down. Your sister phoned you up because she desperately run out of money and your wive has been moping with PMS since yesterday evening. Your cellphone was stolen in the morning and the taxman announced an audit. Mentally you are still sending the taxidriver that cut you off to Jupiter with a one way ticket. Desperately trying to recharge your batteries you're watching your favorite "lions" playing the "cheetahs" - and your team is busy losing. Your 4 year old keeps on tugging at your shirt because you have to help her dress her barbie...a normal day in the life of a 21st century parent.
The deep dark thunderclouds forming inside your head can be seen without the help of Kirlian Semyon. But hey, most important to your 4 year old right now are you and the little bit of energy you got left. Many moons ago, when you were tugging the shirt of your dad, he shrugged you off to go play. Maybe you accepted, grumbled and went off. Your 4 year old doesn't. She goes to bed at 8 pm and is wide awake at 5 am. Relentlessly she claims her share of you if you had a crappy day or not.
You ask yourself where she has got all her energy from. You are running on reserve from about 10 am after spending it all on the traffic jams, the negative billboard-headlines, the the world's doom on radiowaves and the chatty blonde at reception that gave you an unwanted update on your bosses mood and his wive's latest tricks.
30 to 40 years ago, kids could be shrugged off without too many consequences. Today's children working with Indigo energy are less forgiving. They start to act up. Most of them operate on a very high energy and activity level. They teach us a new level of living. You carry on with your lifestyle as above, your youngster will most probably be sent to the school psychologist with the diagnoses adhd/add and a prescription to enrich the pharma cartell.
According to Doreen Virtue, "add" stands for attention diverted to a higher dimension (Care and Feeding of Indigo Children, HayHouse 2001). In the pharma dispensers books it stands for attention deficit disorder! Whoa, that is so true. But whose deficit? Who lacks attention? The attention deficit from parents/teachers/caregivers directed to the children?
Children working with Indigo energy are usually high maintenance, require fine tuned parenting skills to prosper and need a set of values from their parents that almost made it on the endangered species list. Our kids behave in ways that reflect our crazy lifestyle. They're mostly right brain dominant when current educational systems are still catering for a left brain dominant world. They're wired differently and think out of the box. Nobody said it's easy to keep up with evolution.
For today, let's look at a hurdle a lot of down to earth parents have to overcome. Extraterrestrial talk from their children (especially teenagers). On any given "Indigo" List or in chat rooms, children working with Indigo energy frequently refer to their "origins". That sounds something like this:
"My spiritual home is Orion but I have also had 2 lives on Sirius".
Depending on your culture and religion, that might get your neck-hair raising into cactus pose. You won't be the only one. Greta Hessel in her book "The New Children" (Urania press 2003) researches a highly esoteric trail looking into Drunvalo Melchizedek and his claims that Indigo Children can heal themselves of HIV and need junkfood. She took exception to one of the authors of "the Indigo Children", Lee Caroll, because he acts as Channel for Kryon. When she hits the "Santiner-Circle"with commander Ashtar, an esoteric movement that is either light years ahead of us or delights in constructing galactic fairy tales, she writes exasperately: "According to this the Indigo children are extraterrestrials!"
Aren't we all?
All major religions have taught us the past few thousand years that god/source created earth. That god/source is all there is. That we are connected to God/Source.
Extraterrestrial (Oxford adv. learner's, 6th Edition) adj. connected with life existing outside the planet earth: extraterrestrial beings/life.
Logic deduction: God/Source created earth, so s(he)it must be an E.T. (here before earth existed). As we are all God/Sources children and are connected with God/Source, a life existing ouside the planet earth, that makes us E.T's as well or at least earthlings with E.T. origins.
Does it matter if we were inhabitants of Sirius, Orion or Venus before we found our way to the here and now?
When people engage in E.T. talk, tolerate it. If you do not want to join, great, don't. If it is your own child, bear with it. Do not dispute it or argue the point. When people talked about aura's 30 years ago, they were called delusional "New Age" Hippies, today Kirlian Seymon proved the Hippies right.
So what can you do?
Firstly, we are our children's guardians. The greatest gift we can give them is to guide them as fast as possible to independence. Everything that leads towards making it without you in the big world is a step in that direction. The present (pre-sent) is "god's gift" to us. It is all we have. Unless commander Ashtar and his Santiners can provide us with an instant solution to time travel or teach us skipping from dimension to dimension, the present is the only dimension we can currently work in during our waking hours.
One of my greatest mentors, Dr. Wayne Dyer points out: What you think about expands, even when you think about what you find unnerving (The power of intention, HayHouse 2004:164). The more we argue a point negative, the more it expands. Wayne Dyer applied: Let it go and direct your energy into what is relevant for the here and now. Constructive and at the same time valuing your child could be to ask your child to think about the relevance of our roots to the here and now. What influence could it have on the present if we are from Sirius, Orion or normal earthlings?
Let the here and now expand.
Are there advantages coming from Orion to process his/her current live in the present moment? Great. Enjoy these advantages together. On some lists there is a lot of talk about the density of 3D live and all its disadvantages. A gentle invitation to look for solutions can "enlighten" these discussions and raise the energy. Do not be afraid if your child is very young. If they are old enough to discuss their roots, they are old enough to have this discussion with you.
My 4 year old takes me on daily treasure hunts. Her simple, yet profound truths let me rediscover what I seem to have lost in the jungle of live.
So long, be good...
