I have encountered the term indigo [in the context of designating of a category of people] only 3 years ago, when someone told me that I was an 'indigo'. I did not understand what was said, it was just another terminology of some psychological attributes I thougth.
And indeed, when searching for some information on the 'indigo person', the websites were overloaded with psychological pointers, which I - at first - even did not recognize for myself. I played with 'pretending to be an indigo' for a while and then just let it drift away. I forgot about it. I was and still am 'just' who I am.
But then, 2 weeks ago something happened during a talk with my best friend. She highlighted in a conversation that I was too 'quick', too 'charged' for her to understand the flashy things that I understood in a second. It there and then became clear to me that I have a totally different way of 'communicating' than most of the people. I used to think that others were not very 'willing' to cooperate in a conversation. However, she and I found together that it was about a different type of handling information, also influencing how one thinks, walks, and lives. It has a direct impact on the kind of people one meets as well, it is far stretching.
An indigo has a way of communicating that seems to go much faster, almost instant. Indigo people have an immediate understanding of other people's thoughts, of their masks, what the others really are about. They have an immediate intuition that tells them what is really happening, and know very well how to deal with urgent situations. They are 'electrified', charged and have this capacity of immediate deep action and understanding. They have an innate capacity to by hyperfocused and will go to the goal with an immediate lightning force.
This ability to focus is highly energized with them. When understanding this, they will choose wisely to be diligent in what they focus on, so that they do not injure others or themselves. An indigo needs to nurture wisdom to handle the hyperfocus.
I thank my friend, because she made me aware that I need to be understanding when talking with others, to first sense if the other is an indigo or not, or how that person communicates. Then I can adapt myself so that my interactor gets the space to express him or herself. It takes just a bit of understanding, and a kind attitude. Thank you, dear Joanna.
