As is true with a lot of indigo adults, I have always had a strong connection and communication with plants. I have never doubted the intelligence of plants, and this is a beautiful experiment that has been conducted over many decades to show that they truly are wise beings…

I am writing this during my week off from school.

I must admit, I am feeling awesome! It feels nice to be able to accomplish goals AND feel good while moving forward.

But, as I have mentioned earlier, Chicago is an out of balance city in terms of masculine/feminine energy.

The healthy balance I have achieved this week will just not do with some people.

Example: Getting on the bus yesterday.

The driver may or may not have been out of sorts before I got there, but when I stepped on, oozing of feel good goddess energy, he got pissed and tried as he could to take me down.

I found amusement in his efforts.

He got more and more pissed the more I stuck to my feel-good presence.

And then something shifted.

I watched him as he took a deep breath and started to smile and giggle.

It was a little weird and I was not expecting it.

I watched as the muscles in his body relaxed. He turned off the heat he had been blasting into the crowded and sweltering bus. This made everyone else on the bus relax a lot, too.

I got off at my stop, but not before yelling back at him, “See you later, sexy.”

He just smiled.

My work for the day was done.

But my point is that this energetic mush we call the collective is in a constant desire to balance. I was technically out of balance with the collective, but I feel that it is important, dare I say… a DUTY… of indigo adults to hold onto their feel good feelings (when possible) when they are in that feel-good space.

Why?

Because look at the impact – the shift – of the bus driver.

He changed his vibration, and I wasn’t attached to him doing so, but I had the intention of holding my clear energy – which is really all we can control when we go out into the world.

He turned off the heat and entire busload of people felt better.

And then, if the bus passengers take that feeling-better vibe into their day, they can effect others in the same way. This has the power to shift an entire collective.

Think about how powerful that is.

This is Pay it Forward on a subtle, energetic level.

But if a bunch of indigo adults and other enlightened beings lived in this space and spread it to others every day, think of how that could shift the planet!

When I think about this, I get excited. This is how I see the world progressing. All of this stuff that is rooted in 2012 really comes down shifting up consistently, or shifting downward.

I’d like to call this the Star Wars paradigm; whether we will be pulled to the dark side or use our Jedi force to spread light and goodness.

I think love and light has a much better chance.

For the past few months I have been working out by alternating (yin energy) Five Tibetan Rites, with high intensity (yang energy) workout with Zuzka Light.

This seems to be a good combination because I find that sometimes my body just needs a lot of jumping around movement (like a jog or something that bounces my body around), mixed with the calming effects of yoga or 5 Tibetan Rites.

I started with Zuzka a few months ago and my heart rate recovery time has gotten a lot better, but I’m writing this because something interested happened the other day.

I normally do my workouts with Zuzka’s youtube videos without my Rejuvenizer on, because the chain I have it on is long and when I’m jumping up and down it tends to hit me in the face.

Silly… I know… I should just get a shorter chain.

Well, I was really excited to work out because I had given myself a rest of a few days and was ready to go back into it.

Anyway, I was so excited that I forgot to take off The Rejuvenizer.

I found that in my workout I was infinitely stronger than when I usually work out, especially at my core.

I guess one could say that it was due to the rest I had allowed myself, but I have given myself other rests over the last few weeks and none had as strong a comeback as I did today.

This clearly was not conducted in a scientific lab, but it’s just an observation I made and thought I would share.

And it wasn’t a self-fulfilling prophesy because I didn’t realize that I had forgotten to take it off.

And that’s great!

I love this little Rejuvenizer.

Also, when I do take it off, I have been putting it on my dog while I exercise. He seems so much more chill with it on and seems kind of disappointed (I perceive) when I take it off him and return it to my neck. I think I will be buying a pet Rejuvenizer quite soon!

What do you think about that?

I posted a comment, and thought it would be good to share it here.

Interesting post and it made me quite happy actually.

I am “indigo”… but only if indigo means that I can CONSCIOUSLY do “stuff” and have awarensses that go beyond the normal day-to-day “normal” earth plane existence.

And you and I and anyone sensitive knows, the world is energy and have direct impact on the lives we live. A thought can create something physical, have effects on other people, can be felt across the world… basic stuff.

So my definition of “indigo” has always been (1) people who have conscious awareness of that invisible energetic world (in my case, I am empathic) and (2) those who want to improve the state of the state of the world.

This isn’t a NWO thing. It’s a very practical matter, and, dare I say, self-motivated a lot of the time.

As an empath I did just fine in a small town in Arizona.

There’s no one around and not a lot of energetic debris.

Flash forward to Chicago and I am constantly bombarded and very much resemble the “disconnected’ indigo that Lewis Carroll talks about if I don’t constantly cleanse myself.

And yeah… I kind of like the idea of nutrient dense food. Clean Water and Air. Happy people around me. So if that’s what the NWO looks like, that’s what I’m putting my energy toward.

But I think the CIA’s version of NWO is a bit different.

I don’t consider “indigo” to be exclusive, but I will say that I have met people who had energetic awareness and abilities and would NOT call them indigos because they had no intent of using their abilities to improve the world.

I have met people with a strong intention to help spread love across the world but did not have the energetic awareness, so I would not call them indigos either.

But I do think that someone having one trait that I have outlined can eventually grow to have the other trait.

By the way, all of the information on my site is free. I do have adsense, which will probably pay off in about 5 more years (they don’t let you cash out until you reach 100 bucks).

It would be nice if I could make SOME money from it because that’s not an area of my life I’m doing too well in, but I hesitate to monetize that site for the very reasons that you outlined. I don’t want to be like all of the cheesy people charging a bunch of money for a target market and I also believe that information that relates to helping bring more love and balance into the world should be free.

Plus, it was started as a personal space to write my own observations about the energetic world and to query the whole “indigo”thing because I wasn’t buying the “indigo trait list” either, which you will find no where on my site.

The article (linked above) did make me reconsider whether it is wise to write publicly about my experiences. Maybe there are nefarious beings who can take advantage of my openness. Maybe I’m putting myself and others at risk.

I read the article about a week ago and since then I have not really felt this conspiracy theory to be true. Trying to stop a bunch of positively intentioned people with special abilities is like trying to heard cats. We seem to be growing in number and eventually it seems like a force that is too powerful to contain, even by unconventional means.

What do you think?

Side note about the adsense ads… I tried to deactivate the plug-in and nothing happened. They still appear.

Another side note… I’m a having some tech work done on the site and it may be down for a few hours over the next week or so.

I am in the process of adding more books, but this is what I am starting out with. I have been reading on this topic for many, many years so there is some remembering about what helped me the most when I discovered I was an indigo child.

I would love to get some recommendations from you since I am always looking for good books to read to improve my abilities.

The Urban Indigo Adult…

That’s what I am now.

There are moments that I really love, but one of my least favorite things is public transportation, especially during rush hour.

The other day I was standing on the subway platform and thinking about how that space never gets any sunshine, which I consider to be a great energetic cleanser.

I then remembered a program a workbook I bought (and highly recommend) called Diamond Feng Shui.

Marie Diamond wrote an entire section on space clearing and used visualization to send a variety of different colored light through spaces.

Each color cleared a different element (past discordant influences, thoughtforms, etc).

I decided to try this on the subway station and the subway cars (even though they do have access to light and go above ground eventually).

I don’t have the workbook right now because I lent it out, so this might not be exactly what Diamond says, but this is to the best of my recollection and in combination with other places I have learned to clear energy.

I started with white (general cleansing), then I moved to blue because I remembered Diamond using blue.

I then imagined purple flames coming up through the ground. The purple flame is supposed to be very cleansing. I have had several people clear my aura with the purple flame and so I sent this up to engulf the entire underground subway station.

Then I sent pink through with the intention of creating the vibration of love though out the subterranean transportation veins of Chicago.

And then the train arrived.

But it really did feel better. And maybe I was looking for it, but I thought people were being more civil than usual. And calmer as they got on the train.

Has anyone else tried anything like this?

I feel that if enough people did this on and it was practiced on a daily basis, it would have this great impact on the entire collective, especially over the long run.

Lately I’ve been feeling the hip-swivile of the goddess overtaking me.

I have been feeling the urge to wear dresses and dance and show off my curves and not do things in a serious, linear fashion.

I feel like embodying massive amounts of feminine energy.

I think this has a lot to do with living in Chicago. This is a town that is saturated in masculine energy…

Before we go any further with this post, I want to emphasize that I am NOT bashing masculine energy in this post. Not at all. In fact, most of my life I have spent feeling that I not only can embody masculine energy quite well and play hardball with the boys, but I can beat the boys at their own game of hardball.

What that looks like without the trite feminist phrases is that if business is conducted in the masculine world… suit and ties, 9-5, no pain no gain… not only can I do that, but I can do corporate attire in high heels, 8-6 and have the most painful menstrual cramps in the world and still kick ass…

BUT…

That’s starting to feel a bit silly to me.

Life is not linear. Not even for the men.

And the goddess energy is about feeling good as the work gets done.

Masculine energy is about muscling through the work even when it feels horrible.

Goddess energy is about setting the intention that things will get done and then going to play at the beach with my dog. Surprisingly enough, not only does the work get done on time, but it’s usually better than if I HAD muscled through it.

Sad to say, but this out of balance masculine energy to be the mentality of almost everyone that is surrounding me right now.

To be clear, masculine energy gets things done.

And when masculine energy is in balance, things get done and feel good and fun and flow.

I have been out of balance with too much feminine energy in the past and I usually just end up swimming around in my feel-good emotions all day. Not a bad way to live, but also out of balance.

And when I am out of balance with too much masculine energy for too long, I start to feel like shit. I get tired, I look like crap, I’m grouchy and I have a general dislike for life.

Being an empath, I get to this unbalanced place when I am surrounded by tons of people that are also out of balance.

This is what I have been struggling with lately.

My antidote to that is focus on the flow of life and feeling good. It is to get into my body more, rather than my mind. To dance. To laugh. To tread outside the lines of what is protocol.

It has been written in other sources that one of the traits of indigo adults is that sexual energy tends to be ambiguous in indigos, in terms of masculine or feminine. I find that this is true with me, and that I switch this energy depending on what is around me, to balance things out.

I think that this is one of the duties of the indigo adults, and not just the females.

The world has placed strong emphasis on the masculine, but also warped the masculine ideal with behaviors like machismo and power over others which is out of balance.

I think that indigo adults are meant to bring the masculine/feminine into balance.

And I think what it would look like is that both men and women would be both productive and goal oriented AND feel good while progressing toward their goals. I think that the importance of play and beauty and nature would be emphasized. I think violence would be diminished and healthy sexual energy would not be shameful nor obsessed over. Life would feel abundant and lush and juicy, AND thing would still get done.

Do any other indigo adults struggle with this? Or have you come to a comfortable place with this? Please share your thoughts and what you think the ideal, healthy balance of masculine/feminine would look like.

While I have eaten in a variety of ways and have embodied a variety of levels of well being, no eating style has been better for me than that of Weston A. Price.

I will not get into the details of his life here, but I will say that due to his extensive studies, he brought traditional foods and preparation to mainstream America. And though most Americans have rejected his teachings due to the brainwashing that has occurred by big food companies pushing unhealthy food, more an more people are starting to wake up and jump on the traditional foods bandwagon.

How can we not? Our food is patented and manipulated. Even the most staunch industrialist has to raise an eyebrow to that.

Here is a link I found to some of Weston A Price’s book, Nutrition and Physical Degeneration.

Here is a link to the Weston A Price Foundation Website.

It will contradict a lot of what you have been taught about nutrition. This may stop you from exploring these sites, but I highly recommend you continue to read. Even try out some of the food choices and preparation styles (fermented foods, bone broth, cod liver oil, coconut oil, high vitamin butter oil, etc) and see how you feel!

In the meantime, I will give you an example of misleading nutritional information that has become so widespread that people presume it is fact.

Since I was a kid I was told that saturated fats were bad.

I remember a tv report in the 80s stating that M&Ms were taking coconut oil out of their chocolate because it is unhealthy.

The reason that that report is misleading is that it doesn’t mention that the coconut oil has been chemically manipulated, which changes the cellular structure and makes the coconut oil unhealthy.

But unadultarated coconut oil is healthy. I would even dare say that it is heart healthy.

I’m not a doctor but you can get more information on the Weston Price foundation website mentioned above. Do a search for coconut oil. Do some research on the cholesterol theory and if you dig a little deeper than the surface you will find that many studies say that cholesterol is NOT an indicator of heart disease and older women have statistically been shown to be healthier with higher LDLs.

But that would make expensive drugs like Lipitor completely useless and those poor drug companies would lose millions.

Here are some pages that also back up what I’m saying:
http://www.westonaprice.org/know-your-fats/land-of-oz-attack-on-coconut-oil

In a recent interview, for example, he blames foods full of saturated fats, “like croutons,” for everything from obesity to aging.1 The only problem is that commerical croutons are made with vegetable shortenings, full of trans fats, not saturated fats. While the writings of Roizen and Oz mention trans fats in passing, their gunsights are focused on the innocent bystander, saturated fats.

http://www.westonaprice.org/know-your-fats/saturated-fat-attack

The study discussed in this article was supported by a Pfizer Cardiovascular Lipid award. Pfizer makes over ten billion dollars per year from sales of Lipitor, the world’s best-selling cholesterol-lowering drug.

http://www.westonaprice.org/know-your-fats/latest-studies-on-coconut-oil

One of the very useful oils in the food supply comes from the coconut. Coconut oil has suffered from unjust criticism for more than 30 years in the United States because some of the governmental and food oil organizations, as well as consumer activist organizations such as Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI), have claimed that coconut oil as a “saturated fat” is shown to be atherogenic. This is not true.

On a personal level, I used coconut oil, bone broths and raw milk, as WPF encourages, to heal myself a few years ago of terrible digestive problems that no specialist could cure.

But the true litmus tests is, “How do you feel?”

How do you feel when you incorporate a new food or habit into your life?

If you feel good, you’re on the right track.

Once I started eating foods in most of the ways that Weston A Price Foundation prescribes, I felt a lot better.

All 5 times I got very, very, very tired.

Granted, the first time I tried, I was in college and my version of vegetarianism was bagels and brownies from dining hall.

But the last time I gave it a shot, I did all the research and I made sure I was getting it right in practice.

I gave ample time to go through that detox effect that everyone talks about.

I did it right.

But nothing felt better than the first time sinking my teeth into a grass fed, pastured hamburger after several weeks without.

I’m not saying eating meat is right for everyone.

But these experiments in vegetarianism have given me some insights as to when a vegetarian lifestyle might work for me.

A few years back I went to a meditation event called Illumination Intensive.

It was five days long, and we ate very little food.

All we did was meditate and sleep occasionally.

The food was all vegetarian. This worked for me.

I came back from that event and I was still in that meditative space.

The event had opened me up so much that I was having conversations with fruit in the supermarket and walking down certain isles or holding a bag of nuts would make me violently ill.

I was, what I call, up in the air.

Totally ungrounded and able to feel into everything.

In terms of chakras, I would say I was at the 7th (crown) and above.

That is what it is. It’s not good or bad or more virtuous. It’s just a state one can take on, especially if one has been involved in an intense and long meditation experience.

THIS is when I think vegetarianism works, at least for me.

If I know I’m going to an ashram in India for 6 months, and will only be sitting and meditating, then I am pretty sure that I could eat this way and it would be in alignment with my goals of being on this plane on a primarily spiritual state.

The thing is that most people don’t live like that.

I’m guessing you have a life.

Even if you spend most of your time sitting and thinking, it is different than being in that high a spiritual state and for indigo adults that are empaths, it is really tough because being that ungrounded means feeling into EVERYTHING.

I used to joke that a spider farts in China and I feel it like an earthquake.

That’s not a functional place to be in the concrete, physical world where things get done.

Therefore, when it comes to eating vegetarianism, I think it is good if you are wanting to go into your higher chakras.

(Higher chakras does not mean better than lower chakras, it just means not dealing as much with the physical world.)

But if you do want to go that direction, make sure you have a life that supports that.

I do not.

I make movies. I hop on buses. I go to the grocery store. I walk my dog. I have conversations with people.

I cannot be that up in the air.

Therefore, I eat meat. I eat meat ethically – I buy from farms that are local that let their animals out in the sunshine (which increases the nutrients in the meat) and that are treated well and killed humanely.

And the whole thing about killing being inhumane…

Vegetarians kill plants. And the plants have bugs and microbes on them that are often not detected. Do these organisms have less of a right to live than animals?

I feel that if native tribal cultures can eat meat without moral qualms, than who am I, an American living in a big concrete city, to say that eating meat is wrong.

I think the key is that the process of the animal going from slaughter to meal must be a loving and grateful one. I read somewhere that tribal cultures that were hunting would give thanks to those animals that would offer themselves to be killed and give their nutrients to the tribe.

Energetically, this feels like the right way to go, no matter what you are eating. And I think it makes eating meat ok.

Because whether it is vegetable or animal, it is the way that it is harvested – the intention, the process and the love and gratitude that is most important.

This is true for the preparation and the consumption, too.

This is why I think prayer at the table developed. It changes the food energetically in a positive way.

So here is my food story…

History:

I didn’t realize as a kid that foods has the potential to affect me as powerfully as the do. And on so many levels.

I also didn’t know that eating a lot of processed foods would lead to me not being able to east most foods in my late 20′s.

But overall, this was a good thing because this illness sent me off on on a mission to heal and a desire to learn all that I could about eating and food and nutrition.

if you have read 4 Hour Body, you know that Tim Ferris does a lot of self experimentation. Some things work. Some don’t. This is how I go about things, too.

And i was driven to do this because during that time that I could not eat most things, I went to about 10 different specialists and none of them helped.

I did better testing foods and supplements on myself than blindly listening to some expert that gives me terrible advice for $200 a visit and then keeps me on that program even though subsequent visits showed that I was not getting better.

MY HEALING:

My healing came to me when one of my massage clients came in and told me about raw milk and Weston Price (which I will go into in future posts).

After following this new (and seemingly absurd) regimen for about 3 months, I noticed I was able to eat and successfully digest more varieties of foods.

After 6 months I was able to eat whatever i desired without any digestive problems whatsoever.

WHERE I AM TODAY:

Currently I am still eating in line with Weston Price, though not as much as a few years ago because I do not have access to raw milk and my time to prepare foods is minimal, so I do the best I can.

My eating patterns are similar to Alternate Day Diet. I tend to eat more one day and then less the next day. It feels natural to me, and then someone told me about that diet and I was like, “I already do that!”

I do eat meat. (that will be another post, too).

I take a number of whole food supplements and am always testing new ones to see how they feel.

I am physically active: exercise a lot, walk a lot and play with my dog a lot because it’s fun, not because I feel like I have to.

I consume healthy fats (for me that is Olive, Coconut, Butter, Tallow and Lard… yep… I said Lard.)

I drink coffee and consume caffeine and I’m totally ok with that for where I am in my life right now.

I drink in moderation (2 glasses of wine). If I drink more than moderation I feel worse than death. That was not the case 6 months ago, but I have to honor that something shifted and now I drink no more than 2 glasses of wine at one time.

I do use protein shake supplements (and I will tell you the ones my body seems to like the most RIGHT NOW) but I by the “clean” ones. I know these are no where near close to nature, but again, I am ok with myself because my lifestyle is as it is right now.

I eat a lot of veggies – tons of variety – because I get it delivered. That way I’m not habitually selecting the same veggies every time.

I eat some fruit. Again, with lots of variety.

I eat lots of eggs, ideally free range but they can be hard to get in my area and are quite pricy.

I eat dairy. I prefer raw cheese, but then I put it in an omelet and wonder why I’m buying it raw. I make yogurt when I can, but I can’t find milk in my area supermarket that I like. I know raw is illegal in Illinois unless purchased at the farm, but I can’t even find organic unless I go to Whole Foods which I don’t have time to do most of the time.

I eat nuts and beans. Wish I could soak them, but again, it’s a time factor.

I eat lots of soup. Extra special treat when i can make bone broth!

OVERALL PHILOSOPHY:

Eat what feels good. Eat what your body tells you feels good.

Eat things that are as close to nature as possible prepared as traditionally as possible.

Eat a variety of color and type of food.

Pay attention to how I feel after I eat something, especially if my body isn’t used to it.

Go Organic if possible.

Don’t be so strict that breaking my overall philosophy ruins my day/week/month. A Cadbury Egg is an indulgence I enjoy once a year. I also enjoy a Starbucks Frappaccino once in a while. My body can handle it if it’s in moderation. Sure, it may not be healthy for me but neither is the iron fist of unwavering discipline 24/7, which I consider to be out of balance, also.

Food habits and patterns may change over time based on location, access to food types, climate, age, stress, physical activity and a infinite number of other factors. Let it change and be easy on myself.

I am full of contradictions, but overall I skip most processed foods so I am doing pretty well and certainly better than most of the population.

*************************

I don’t know if writing this helps you but my point isn’t to tell you you MUST do this or that, or that my way is the only path. I am always tinkering on my own philosophy on food and you should, too.

I have a strong aversion to those that insist that the way they eat is the right way. I know it comes out of enthusiasm and passion, and that their way has probably made them feel quite good, but it’s certainly not the only way.

I am simply sharing what has worked for me because I am aware that many indigo adults struggle with what to eat in this modern age, so maybe this will helps some people.

More to come…

~ Peace ~
