Who are the Crystal Children?

The concept of crystal children has been introduced largely through the teachings of Doreen Virtue and follows on from her earlier concept of indigo children.

As Doreen Virtue herself has written, these are children born in-and-after the year 2000. They are held to contain great spiritual power and divinity and are said to have come to Earth to promote love and peace. But isn't this what children have always done?

Doreen Virtue Writes

"The first thing most people notice about crystal children is their eyes, large, penetrating, and wise beyond their years. Their eyes lock on and hypnotize you. This generation of new lightworkers, roughly ages 0 through 7, are like no previous generation. Ideal in many ways, they are the pointers for where humanity is headed ... and it's a good direction!

"The older children (approximately age 7 through 25), called indigo children, share some characteristics with these children. Both generations are highly sensitive and psychic and have important life purposes. The main difference is their temperament. Indigos have a warrior spirit, because their collective purpose is to mash down old systems that no longer serve us. They are here to quash government, educational, and legal systems that lack integrity. To accomplish this end, they need tempers and fiery determination.

"Those adults who resist change and who value conformity may misunderstand the indigos. They are often mislabeled with psychiatric diagnoses of Attention Deficit with Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) or Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD). Sadly, when they are medicated, the indigos often lose their beautiful sensitivity, spiritual gifts and warrior energy. In contrast, crystal children are blissful and even-tempered.

"This is the generation who benefits from the indigos' trailblazing. First, the indigo children lead with a machete, cutting down anything that lacks integrity. Then the crystal children follow the cleared path into a safer and more secure world.

"The terms "indigo" and "crystal" were given to these two generations because they most accurately describe their aura colours and energy patterns. Indigo children have a lot of indigo blue in their auras. This is the colour of the third eye chakra, which is the energy center inside the head located between the two eyebrows. This chakra regulates clairvoyance, or the ability to see energy, visions, and spirits. Many of the indigo children are clairvoyant.

"The crystal children have auras with beautiful multi-colours in pastel hues. This generation also shows a fascination for crystals and rocks.

"It's not surprising that the generation following the indigos are incredibly telepathic. Many of the crystal children have delayed speech patterns, and its not uncommon for them to wait until they're 3 or 4 years old to begin speaking. But parents tell me they have no trouble communicating with their silent children. Far from it! The parents engage in mind-to-mind communication with their crystal children. And the crystals use a combination of telepathy, self-fashioned sign language, and sounds (including song) to get their point across.

"Crystal Children are among the most connected, communicative, caring and cuddly of any generation. They are also quite philosophical and spiritually gifted. And they display an unprecedented level of kindness and sensitivity to this world. Crystal children spontaneously hug and care for people in need. An autistic person wouldn't do that!

"These children are worthy of awe, not labels of dysfunction. If anyone is dysfunctional, it's the systems that aren't accommodating the continuing evolution of the human species. If we shame the children with labels, or medicate them into submission, we will have undermined a heaven-sent gift. We will crush a civilization before its had time to take roots. Instead, let us nurture them as the crystal children tred the spiritual path to our future."

My Guide Patricia adds that it it not just the crystal children who walk the path towards greater spirituality, for people of all ages are now becoming much more aware of the spiritual world that exists within this physical one.

The media's massive coverage of spiritual subjects reinforces this major shift of thinking and belief. Just think over the last 15 years how many books, CDs, DVDs and teaching materials have been created to help us learn more about the Spirit world surrounding us.

It must be said that many of the characteristics of crystal children are attributable to children of every generation. ALL children are naturally psychic and spiritual, and most young children have a deep sensitivity towards caring for others.

It may just be that we are now recognising and embracing the intuitive abilities of all children through the use of terms such as indigo and crystal children, but one message remains clear despite the verbiage: that children are here to teach us lessons about our natural psychic abilities; and to remind us to be gentle and compassionate when we interact with one another.

As much as we do teach children thousands of life skills as they mature, when it comes to love, compassion and trusting our innate psychic abilities, children are the most pure and wise teachers we have.
