Indigo Adults and Elders: Personality Traits and Characteristics

The people who we refer to as Indigo Adults or Elders are Old Souls who started incarnating on Earth from about the mid 1950s.  Their purpose is to assist in the Ascension of the Earth and Humanity.  They are considered to be the first group in the next significant human evolutionary process because they are "wired" differently.  This article explores the unique combination of the hallmark traits and characteristics that define the Indigo personality.

1.  Extraordinary Sensitivity.  Indigo Adults and Elders are extraordinarily sensitive in every aspect:  emotionally, physically and mentally.   On the emotional level, they are very empathic and compassionate.  They are prone to over-react emotionally, although they can be very adept at shielding, i.e., hiding their emotions.  On the physical level, they are very sensitive and responsive to touch, light, odors, changes in temperatures and so on due to their highly developed senses.  On a mental level, they are very sensitive to the nuances, subtle meaning and intent of the information that comes their way. 

2.  Natural Intelligence.  Indigo Adults and Elders have an innate, natural intelligence.  They process new information very quickly and are highly inquisitive ~ always needing to know the particulars of why, how, who and where.  Although they often reject and/or do not get the highest marks in the formal education system, the quest for knowledge, knowledge itself and life-long learning is of upmost importance to them.  They are voracious readers (often reading at least several books, magazines, periodicals, etc. at one time) and deep thinkers.  They do not just accept information ~ they question, evaluate and then decide for themselves.  They are usually not tolerant of deliberate stupidity.

3.  Highly Intuitive, Often Psychic.  Indigo Adults and Elders are intrinsically and precociously intuitive, perceptive and insightful.  They are able to instinctively and quickly discern people, situations, matters and things through their highly developed senses.  Many are naturally psychic, clairvoyant, clairsentient and second-sighted.   Many operate and act on the basis of intuition, perception and second-sightedness ~ whether they are fully aware of it or not.  This is because for them ~ this occurs automatically, effortlessly and spontaneously.  Most have had some type of psychic or paranormal contact or experience early on in life and many have repeated and recurring psychic experiences.

4.  Ardently Independent.  Indigo Adults and Elders are fiercely independent and sanction individual rights and freedoms. They rebel against and/or reject most, if not all, man-created systems (caste, class and others) that are designed to subordinate, control and manipulate the masses.  They often take issue with any authoritative system or structure (whether governmental, institutional, organizational, religious or other) that seeks to restrain, dominate, repress or exert power over individuals.  They are not followers and, hence, generally do not do well in service-oriented occupations, prefering instead to be self-employed or in leadership positions.  Socially and at home, they are often uncomfortable with (or outright reject) the mainstream lifestyle.

5.  Deep Interest in Spirituality, Religion, Philosophy, Esoterical Knowledge.  Indigo Elders and Adults have an intense interest in spirituality, religion, philosophy, the occult and paranormal, metaphysics, alchemy, astrology, numerology, arcane mysteries and esoterical knowledge.  For most, this interest began at a young age and culminates into a heartfelt passion later in life.  Many have a profound feeling of needing to find their purpose, change the world, make a difference or create something worthwhile.  Until they find their purpose and method of self-expression, they feel frustrated and restless.  Ultimately, self-expression of their purpose is somehow achieved through spirituality, religion, metaphysics or the like.  Many awakened Indigo Adults and Elders are on the path of Ascension through Lightbody Activation and are Lightworkers

Ascension - How Lightbody Activation Can Play Out in Daily Life

As individuals transit through the various levels of Lightbody Activation, they find themselves observing the more mundane aspects of life from a higher plane.   Those things (objects, events, desires)  that once seemed so imperative or essential to the dense physical body and to the materialistically confined mind are now becoming significantly less important or no longer hold any importance at all.   These observations are not those of a detached, impartial spectator ... they are the transformational outpourings of the evolving soul itself, which then feels strongly compelled to express them in the physical world.  

While each Lightbody experiences the activation process uniquely, the following examples reflect my personal experience and/or have been reported by others: 

Changes in Diet

• The onset of cravings for highly nutritious "pure" food and/or for food in its "purest form".  An example of this would be craving a fresh, raw apple instead of a slice of apple pie ~ which typically contains processed white flour, sugar and perservatives (if store bought) and in which the apple itself (a product of nature) has been processed. 
• An increasing preference for a plant-based (vegetarian) diet, in cases where the lightbody is still consumming animal flesh.
• An increase in appetite, particularly for vegetable protein and wholesome foods.

Changes in Sleep Patterns

During the lower stages of activation, more sleep is often required as the physical body sheds toxins, repairs and heals itself.  During this time, old emotional wounds and past karmic debts are also being resolved and this may affect sleep. 

During the upper stages of activation, less sleep is often required as the requisite emotional healing has taken place, the physical body has been purified, is now being properly nourished and cared for, and is functioning optimally.

Changes in Lifestyle

• A greater need for natural light, which may include more time spent outside in the sunlight as well as bringing more natural light indoors.
• A compulsion to create a harmonic, free and positive energy flowing personal physical space ~ which may result in emotional and sentimental detachment from objects, systematic decluttering, obsessive cleaning, re-arranging of furniture and furnishings, and even moving.  
• An ever-growing desire for quietude and the reduction in background noise.  This most often results in television time being replaced by other activities such as reading, studing, meditating and reflecting.
• A sudden interest in the welfare, safety and plight of humanity, animals, plants, Mother Earth, followed by proactively and frequently bestowing random acts of kindness, and volunterring for charitable or community work. 
• Minor to major changes in the practice of religious or spiritual beliefs.  This could mean going to the usual place of worship (church, temple, synagogue, etc.) more often, or stopping altogether.  Going to a new place of worship.  Or, creating a personal space for worship (such an altar) within the home. 

Relationships

• During lower levels of activation, many lightbodies experience an intense fear of "losing people".  This fear is not always without merit and there may be temporary or permanent changes in important relationships.
• Emotional or physical alienation, separation, divorce, employment severance or business disassociation is not uncommon during any level of the Lightbody Activation.

The foregoing are but a few examples of some changes that can occur in the physical world of the ascending Lightbody.  It is human nature to fear the unknown and, hence, to resist change.  For some, it is a longer and more painful process.  But, there comes a time during the journey that is the turning point ~ when fear is replaced by not just acceptance and courage but by a deep knowing and a profound comprehension of where the soul has been and where it is destined to go in this incarnation.
