In a world that has lost touch with its soul, the indigo child is here as a light-bearer, path forger, and paradigm shifter.
Although the concept of indigo children originated in the 1970’s, there have been groups of individuals all through the ages whose mission and purpose have been to awaken humanity.
If you’re an old soul who feels a strong and profound urge to create change in society, you are likely an indigo child.

What is an Indigo Child?
Also referred to as a crystal or star child, an indigo child is a person who has come into this world destined to create change and spiritually awaken humanity. Indigo children are considered to be freethinkers with profound insight into the human condition and an ability to see the truth clearly. As spiritually gifted old souls, indigo children find it hard to fit into mainstream society and often become misunderstood, rejected, or misdiagnosed and medicated. The indigo child is also thought to possess strong intuition and varying spiritual gifts such as the ability to communicate with spirit guides or see visions.
Truth and Deception
The primary role of the indigo child seems to revolve around exposing truth and deception. From a young age, indigo children are able to see through the illusions, half-truths, and falsehood rife in society. To their parents and teachers, they may seem like overly inquisitive, headstrong, and even obnoxious children. As precocious truth tellers, child and adult indigos can’t help but see through the bullshit facades of other people and expose them. This desire to bring the truth to light seems to be written into the indigo child’s DNA.
Enlightened teacher Jiddu Krishnamurti sums up the indigo child’s philosophy when he writes,
It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society.
Many people criticize the indigo child concept as being one that can be misused by parents seeking to make their children look special, particularly if they have special needs. Others claim that signs of being an indigo child are so vague they can apply to anyone (this is called the Forer effect).
While it is true that the indigo child label can be misused, just as any label can, the true signs of an indigo child are so specific that they cannot be widely applied to every person. As I just mentioned above, indigo children are obsessed with finding the truth – this cannot be said of every person or every child. Every rule, belief, structure, and institution will be questioned and ruthlessly challenged by the indigo child – this trait is truly unusual and extraordinary.
It is also common for people to criticize the indigo child label as being delusional. While all labels and concepts used to describe the ego are illusory constructs of the mind, finding a sense of affinity with the indigo child label is extremely beneficial. Identifying with this label helps us to develop self-understanding and acceptance, which are important elements of spiritual growth.
Indigo Children Who Are Misdiagnosed
It is common for the indigo child to be misdiagnosed with behavioral issues such as ADD, ADHD, and other mood disorders. Because of their headstrong and freethinking nature, such children are often feared, misunderstood, and therefore medicated at young ages. Unfortunately, medications such as Ritalin and Adderall often end up numbing the indigo child and causing them to lose contact with their intuitive capacities and truth-seeking nature.

17 Signs of an Indigo Child
Are you an indigo child? Perhaps your children are indigos? Below I have included a list of seventeen authentic signs.
I have omitted typical signs often mentioned on other websites like “sense of entitlement” and “feeling special and like you should be revered” because these, to me, represent narcissism or unhealthy parenting styles more than genuine indigo child signs.
If you possess more than half of these traits, you’re likely an indigo child:
1. You are strong willed
You are a passionate person who will do anything it takes to accomplish your goals or dreams. Even if other people criticize or don’t support you, you still keep going no matter what.
2. You’re an old soul
You feel as though you’ve lived many lifetimes, and possess a wisdom that others your age don’t yet have. As a child, you may have behaved like an old man or woman, and as an adult, you have a deeply spiritual and philosophical outlook on life.
3. You’re a freethinker
No idea or belief is too holy for you to dissect or reject. You prefer to think for yourself rather than blindly following the crowd. As an indigo child, questioning is everything to you.
4. You’re a headstrong nonconformist
As a child or teenager, you may have been thought of as “naughty,” “obnoxious,” disobedient, and contrarian. As an adult, you still cannot stand being boxed in or controlled by others. As a headstrong nonconformist, you prefer to find your own truth and forge your own path.
5. You’re a passionate truth-seeker
Truth, to you, is of primary importance. You are always seeking to distinguish truth and reality from lies and deception. When you are around others, you can immediately tell when someone is lying or hiding something. Although the truth hurts, you honor it above all else. You would prefer to suffer from the truth than be happy believing lies.
6. You’re perceptive and intelligent
You can see and understand things about humanity and life that most other people don’t perceive. Your keen perception allows you to discover the truth about the human condition, and how to ultimately help.
7. You are highly intuitive
Your keen perception also makes you highly intuitive. You can often intuit the best course of action as well as know things about others that are secret or hidden.

Your information will never be shared.
8. You want to change the world
Deep in your heart, you feel a driving force to create positive change on this planet. As an indigo child, you know that your destiny is to be a paradigm changer/destroyer. This strong sense of purpose forms the axis of your decisions. Whatever is not aligned with your inner sense of purpose quickly dissolves in favor of soul-based decisions.
9. You’re empathetic and compassionate
You care so much about this planet and other people that it often hurts. Every time you see or hear of violence, destruction, and cruelty, you feel sorrow and anger. Your high level of empathy and compassion means that you often struggle with anxiety or depression.
10. You’re a change-making leader
Since you were little, you’ve always gravitated towards leadership. You may find it hard to work in teams or for other people and function better when you’re in charge or working for yourself. You find it difficult to obey authority, particularly when that authority is corrupt, illogical or outdated. You want to offer better, wiser, and healthier ways to live life, making you destined to be a spiritual elder.
11. You’re idealistic
You have high expectations for yourself and other people. While idealism can be a positive trait, it can also carry disadvantages such as being overly critical or demanding. Nonetheless, your idealism is what helps you to strive for the highest and do the absolute best you can for the planet.
12. You have a loner/autonomous personality
As a free spirit, you don’t like to be held down by anyone or anything. You find it difficult to be around too many people at once, and often prefer to spend time in your own company. As a lover of autonomy, you enjoy solitude and the insight it can bring.
13. You’re highly creative
Your nonconformist brain loves to express itself through art and creativity. Whether it be drawing, dancing, singing, building, painting, writing or crafting, you love creative self-expression.
14. You have a strong connection with nature and animals
As an empathic and compassionate person, you gravitate towards the natural world. You feel most at home when you’re near the ocean or surrounded by trees and animals. Nature is so pure and grounding that you find it a welcome break from the pretension of humanity.
15. You’re drawn towards spirituality over religion
To you, spirituality is falling in love with the message, and religion is loving the messenger. As an indigo child, you are drawn towards truth in its purest form – not diluted by dogma or fundamentalist teachings.
16. You struggle with boredom
Because of your sharp and inquisitive mind, you tend to struggle with routine and conventional structures. As a result of your tendency to get bored easily, you may have been misdiagnosed with ADD or ADHD as a child.
17. You are prone to experiencing existential angst
Existential anxiety and depression go far beyond usual anxiety and depression, and this is because it is more concerned with life itself than the self. As an indigo child, you tend to ask questions such as “Why do we suffer?” “What is the meaning of life?” “Why is there injustice?” “Why was I born?” Such deep philosophical questions cause you to lose interest in the meaningless pursuits carried out by the majority of humanity.
Other potential traits of indigo children include:
- Tendency towards addiction to numb feelings
- Seeking only loyal friendships
- Proud/bossy
- Fiery tempered
- More sensitive to environmental and food pollutants
- Spiritual gifts such as clairvoyance or telepathy

Well I’m not a child. I’ve experienced this for quite some while. My latest experience when I had a cousin passed away. So we have a close connection but not what are hope. His death it was a shock to me. Well, few weeks after his passing. I don’t know if it was a vision or last opportunity to talk to him. But I did see him and asked him if he was happy or not. Talk brief then I had a vision of us another person. But that person was him for probably the be the new him. Sounds kind of weird, and what made it even more strangers that he knew who you was going to be. Well the last thing I said was I love them and I hope you was happy. Some days I want to know how far should I go. That was the last experience I had. If you have any insights please let me know. Thank you
I did not have a pentagram so I used a pearl necklace it went back and forth and around in circles wow
I’ve “seen” loved ones right after their passing, but in a vision, of sorts. I wss during on my couch when the vision of my grandpa walking up a long set of steps suspended in the sky and my grandmother was sitting at the top waiting. My mom came home shortly after, crying bc he had died. I told her what i.d seen and she began to tell me before passing, he’d asked her if she saw her “Mammy sitting at the top of those steps”. It surprised me bc I thought it was probably just a random thought until she said what she had.
I’m extremely empathetic when it comes to animals, most of all.
Ive also has a near death experience where I was able to experience traveling to a heavenly realm.
I don’t know that I’m an Indigo child, but I do know I’m an old soul. Spirituality has become so important for me to learn about and know. I can’t learn fast enough.
I have experienced substance abuse bc I craved the numbness they can bring..I don’t consider myself to be a leader. I’m more comfortable in very small, intimate groups or alone. Being by myself is peaceful. I live taking in nature and watching the sky. At this moment, I’m practicing the law of attraction, or I believe it’s the faith we have in God’s word to us, that if we ask and believe, then we will create it bc he made our minds to be able to do this. Im seeing it in my own life, as well as my children’s and my family members. It’s amazing to discover how powerful our belief is!
I am very young but yet I still obtain all of these symptoms. I communicate with my very own spirit guide a few times a week. And I’m the most stubborn person in the family. I’m often perceived as strange. And I have had dreams that foretell the future. So far all has come true.

This is me all the way.i can communicate to Spirits and they also or tell me what to tell their loved ones and what had happened to them and there was a case in California and I’m in Virginia and I had solved a murder I told a friend what had happened and what I saw..and the found the gun that no one could find.i told them where it was and they found it
This has been the only thing that’s made sense to me since I started trying to make sense of life and everything about it.. I never understood but I knew there was more. Growing up I seen what I thought was ghosts I spoke to one apparently in my window… found out he was a hessian soldier I was 5 or 6 at the time … always felt something. Energies … also the feeling of being watched was constant … anxiety… never fit in with one group but got along with everyone … started questioning the government big time and researching … and eventually my research got to all of this. And it feels right .. I also have a child I think she’s a cusp between crystal and rainbow … I feel I could be a little of them all … but she came to me before I knew I was pregnant in my dreams… a girl looked exactly like her.. I knew everything about her and her personality.. her name rolled off my tongue didn’t even have to think .. Isabella jewel.. but I still remember that dream as if it was a movie I watched … we are both connected deeply with animals… they feel the same too (the animals) I tend to notice them react differently with me as if they’re communicating … I’m very very intuitive and my intuition is always right … my daughter is all about love and bringing people together… and knows things only someone very wise would know …. this gives me peace inside and gratitude I get to share this with others and not be laughed at. My traits match the indigo/crystal to a T… and as my daughter .. she’s all of them lol. So amazing .. was born with her eyes wide open it was like seeing life finally when she heard my voice and looked at me like she already knew … that connection was so magical. !!
This is so interesting! My mother tells me about a similar experience she had. Apparently a year before she was even trying to get pregnant, she had a dream where a young girl came to her and told my mother her name, and that she was going to be her daughter. Flash forward a few years to when I was three years old, and apparently I looked exactly like the little girl, even down to tiny details! Crazy.
I’ve also had a woman who was psychic (I didn’t know this at first, my mother and I only learned this later) tell me just out of the blue that I was an indigo child? We’d never heard the term before but it fit me to a T, and my mother has some special traits of her own. Funny our experiences are so similar!
ARE YOU SERIOUS? My aunt had a dream the night before I was born that I came to her and said “MY NAME IS JENNIFER”
My mom didn’t know about the dream until after she had me and named me Jennifer and she didn’t know I was a girl. She wanted it to be a surprise and wanted a girl but EVERYONE was insisting that I was going to be a boy.
Every sign explains and describes me perfectly. I am all of those things magnified x2.
Thank you.
This was not spot on and then…..?
I have spend a lot of time lately trying to find some answers. I have master degree, speak 3 language but choose to become a housewife. As a child i tend to have violent dreams, where i would run from A to B with gunfire around me. I saw myself lying at the end of a stairway shot in the shoulder in my future. All those years I had pain in my shoulder until i had it remove with cranio sakral therapy.
One evening, many years ago, among friends one (N) started talking about a girl who got sex killed (X), I knew X. Then N told us, that the X told her that she would not grew up to be very old. Then I got very cold, because i had sense X´s dead. As a child I saw X having a disput and i recalled saying to myself, ” dont mind, she is soon going to be dead”. And worse, having the dreams that i had i my childhood i knew that i wasn´t going to be old either.
I made it my life mission to turn my future into another path, fail all most my exams at the university on purpose. I stopped having dreams and only recently did i “start” again. Becoming a mom have been a huge part of my heeling proces. I tell all my kids and their friends to be good friends and be kind to one another.
My problems today is, that i have turn the outside world down. My door seems to be to strong to break down again.
Think i better read your book
Love from here :-)
This was nice. It helped me feel less alone and a lot less crazy. I am a stronger feeler especially as I have gotten older I can feel and sense peoples emotions a lot more intensely to where it can effect me in a physical way. Lately when a vibe is very strong, negative, and dark I get really bad nausea and once I even threw up. I have this really deep feeling that I know I need to leave a huge mark on this world and get people to be more aware and happy with their surroundings. My goal ever since I was a child was to help others heal and impact this wild society in a positive and healthy way. I just have been struggling to feel more grounded and not let everyone else’s energies and emotions take a toll on me, but it can be difficult. I’ve been going on more walks, journaling, and practicing yoga everyday when I can, but when I am around others I can get pretty overwhelmed. It is a process and I hope to only get stronger and really start making changes in this society.
Another thing you can do to confirm you’re an indigo child is to either get an aura photography reading or try holding a pendulum in front of your crown or third eye chakra to see if the pendulum spins in a circle. The pendulum will often spin like a helicopter for many started children, which can be a signal that you’re probably a star children
I feel connect with almost details in 17 signs.
Thanx for writing this , bro.
