Calling all Indigo Children! The Silkies have arrived on Bonanzle!

I'm an old one, and I have raised three. I have worked with hundreds of Indigos both in my wellness practice, and through the Juvenile Justice system, mental health and family service providers, and our local school system which all referred Indigos to my programs at the Holistic Youth Center which I founded and directed until 2006.

I believe that Indigo Children are perfectly wired for the higher Earth frequencies that are now in progress. They are pioneers in blazing the trails to the next phases of human evolution. Indigos are normalizing paranormal abilities, multi-dimensional awareness and telepathy. And although many children labeled "Indigo" are (mis)diagnosed with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, or described as anti-social or uncooperative, all are incredibly empathetic and creative. They are just a little ahead of their time! And that can be very stressful.

What is an Indigo Child? According to the official Indigo Child Website, there are the ten attributes that best describe this new kind of child, the Indigo Child.

• They come into the world with a feeling of royalty (and often act like it)
• They have a feeling of "deserving to be here," and are surprised when others don't share that.
• Self-worth is not a big issue. They often tell the parents "who they are."
• They have difficulty with absolute authority (authority without explanation or choice).
• They simply will not do certain things; for example, waiting in line is difficult for them.
• They get frustrated with systems that are ritually oriented and don't require creative thought.
• They often see better ways of doing things, both at home and in school, which makes them seem like "system busters" (nonconforming to any system).
• They seem antisocial unless they are with their own kind. If there are no others of like consciousness around them, they often turn inward, feeling like no other human understands them. School is often extremely difficult for them socially.
• They will not respond to "guilt" discipline ("Wait till your father gets home and finds out what you did").
• They are not shy in letting you know what they need.

I've found that Indigos are magnetized to Tachyon-energized wellness products and are greatly comforted by the Tachyon field of influence. The Tachyon field of influence promotes balanced energy, resistance to the effects of stress, and deeper relaxation. Also, it supports enhanced mental focus, greater physical endurance, and protection against the harmful electromagnetic field radiation that Indigos are so sensitive to. Tachyon textiles on the body increase and stabilize the human aura, and protect and nurture your child as they improve awareness, calm and reduce anxiety and irritability. I've been using Tachyon blankets in my practice for years, they are my all time favorite wellness tool... until now.

Meet the Silkies! Silkies are wonderful Tachyon take-everywhere-favorite-companions to help provide a calming, balancing effect in any situation. They are ideal to bring along when making transitions, traveling, to diffuse stressful moments, and for hospital stays. Silkies are the ultimate "security blanket" because they can be "worn" as a scarf, a belt, or a head wrap.

So, what's a Silkie? We think they might be magical sea creatures from a faraway land, maybe related to seals... but ask your Indigo, they'll know for sure!

May you be blessed!

Imagine the world as a village of 100 people...

This is a great little experiment that I do every summer with my Lil' Sprouts Program. I give each child 100 pennies in a paper cup. And then we begin...

Imagine that we could reduce the world’s population to a village of 100 people, with all existing human ratios remaining the same. The demographics would look something like this:

The village would have:

60 Asians

14 Africans

12 Europeans

8 Latin Americans

5 from the USA and Canada

and 1 from the South Pacific

... we spread the pennies around on our world maps.

OK, 51 would be male, 49 would be female

82 would be non-white; 18 white

(That gets a wow! here in New Hampshire.)

33 would be without access to a safe water supply

39 would lack access to improved sanitation
( I explain what that means.)
Eeeeewww!

24 would not have any electricity (And of the 76 that do
have electricity, most would only use it for light at night.)

only 7 people would have access to the Internet

and 1 would have a college education

5 would control 32% of the entire world’s wealth; all 5 would be US citizens

and 67 would be unable to read, ever!

That's where we pause. This year marks the 15th season I have created and facilitated a Lil' Sprouts program at our local natural history museum, The Libby Museum. It's all about embracing earth-friendly concepts of diversity, oneness, community, respect, and tolerance through multicultural, age-appropriate literature. I throw in a generous dose of art, music, and a hands-on, active learning approach. Sticky, muddy, messy fun!

Lil Sprouts are asked to create a community where all creatures are embraced for their similarities and appreciated for their differences. The emphasis is on understanding differing points of view and creative peace-making. The Sprouts know the importance of books. Sharing ideas. Getting to know about the world. Caring about the world.

And we vote on what do to with the pennies.

I highly recommend this book:
If the World Were a Village
David J. Smith & Shelagh (ILT) Armstrong

There are currently more than six billion people on the planet! This enormous number can be difficult to grasp, especially for a child. But what if we imagine the whole world as a village of just 100 people?

In this village 20 earn less than a dollar a day, 17 cannot read or write.

In a time when parents and educators are looking to help children gain a better understanding of the world's peoples and their ways of life, If the World Were a Village offers a unique and objective resource. By exploring the lives of the 100 villagers, children will discover that life in other nations is often very different from their own. The shrunk-down statistics will encourage readers of ALL ages to embrace the bigger picture and help them to establish their own place in the global village.
