Adult Indigos - - Not Just Another Label

I'd believed myself to be the mother of an indigo child, but most of my casual reading led me to believe that indigo children were relatively new, and quite young. My children are all teenagers, and of course, I'm biased. I think ALL three of my brood are gifted. In my searching for more information, I found Wendy Chapman's site, Meta Gifted.

As I read (for a few hours, the site is an enormous data base of information) I ran across her Adult Indigo description, and joined her forum. It's a moderated base for Adult Indigo's to gather and discuss relative concepts about being who & what we are.

While I admit, I haven't been an active participant YET, I can't adequately express the relief I have experienced in "finding my tribe" so to speak.

I don't fit just a few of the indicators of being an Adult Indigo, I fit the "profile" perfectly. It was a diamond peg into a diamond hole, and it's never happened in my career of trying to discover what it was that made me a diamond peg trying to fit into a square hole.

I'd try to subscribe to certain "belief systems" or "labels" and none of them fit.

I knew I was a highly sensitive person, and while HSP was a label I could live with, it still wasn't the "tribe" I wanted to claim.

In fact, I'd done my best to avoid that whole "you're this and that" label rhetoric for years. Therapy didn't do me much good - - I was labeled everything from Bi-Polar, Borderline, Schizo, DID, to just "a raving lunatic".

Studying Enneagrams was an eye opening and somewhat comforting experience, but putting myself into a space between a "Mostly Four" and "Six" left me wanting.

Again, I can't define the "A-hah!" I had at understanding the concept of "Adult Indigo".

While I don't expect to spend too much time here, it's a solid foundation for the Web Ring: Adult Indigos; essentially a starting point for links, ideas and communication when necessary.

And no, I DON'T live in the Vatican, nor is my career in religion.

Happy Surfing, and if you join the web ring, thanks for spreading the love. Visit Wendy Chapman's site, may you be well, and may you be happy.
