Well i think a great deal of care needs to be exercised.
Here we have children that do not fit easily into society and then along come a bunch of people telling them they are special and then feeding them all kinds of often totally misguided junk that only sets them further apart and will often give rise to an even greater sense of isolation.
On the other hand some of these children develop an ego that they really don't need because of all the talk about being special.
Others simply pull away because they know instinctively that what the are being told is simply not true; they may not know why exactly but they know.
Yes these children have abilities, but again its not new at all. As for psychic's well its a bit like healers, finding the real deal is difficult. Its unfortunate that once the New Age movement got hold of the whole indigo thing it became a bandwagon that was difficult to stop; this makes finding genuine assistance that these kids need even more difficult.
All children see auras/playmates when they are young but for the majority this ability fades in the face of ridicule and ignorance; its easier to submit to life as a human being rather than maintain a strong connection to Spirit.
So many people are going around in circles
We do not need to cherry pick peoples words
It started with a simple question
On a none so simple subject
Everyone of us has beliefs
And no one has better beliefs
If we believe in ourselves

[COLOR="DarkRed"]There is no reason to believe anyone is telling them anything. Except the words of the doctors, educators and the tears of their mothers.On the other hand some of these children develop an ego that they really don't need because of all the talk about being special. [COLOR="DarkRed"]You mean like a natural athlete or a concert pianist? Yes, we must be careful not to let people with gifts feel "Special".
Others simply pull away because they know instinctively that what the are being told is simply not true; they may not know why exactly but they know.[COLOR="DarkRed"]You're kidding, right. You are on a Reiki/energy healing chatroom and you don't believe in any possitive diversity?

[COLOR="DarkRed"]I am stunned at your negativity. I am just stunned

Well... I'm not sure about "ALL CHILDREN" anything.
I see something but ignored it, because I put up walls against the onslaught of noise and emotion that I was overwhelmed by. Now that I am allowing information in? I have to limit my contact with others.
There is a possitive and a negative to being open and receptive. There is a possitive and a negative to every gift...including the negitive judgment of others that don't have it or believe it exists.
I falsely believed that this would be where I would find the most open and enlightened people to grow with and find answers from and share with.
BUT...I have found myself, my voice and a powerful feeling of arriving (like when you are climbing a mountain and reach each new resting place on the climb upward). Some of this growing was from the pain caused by the judgement, criticism and lack of understanding of some people. Some was from the understanding and support from others. Some of this growth came from the exercises and the experiences of the last couple of weeks. And some was a reconnection to who I was meant to be.
I can only hope that the experience of having me here has been helpful to someone else that needed to see this unfold. As much as I wanted to leave here and tried to disengage...I continued to feel like there was something more I needed to learn in this experience and/or something I needed to give. I think I did what I was supposed to do. We shall see.
A special thanks to the "hermit" who says little...that means so much.
I am 63 years old and technology is challenging to me but I think I uploaded the link to a youtube video that if watched to completion will clean up any questions about what a lightworker might be.
I put it in a note. I'm sorry. Click on it and you will have to cut and paste. This is kind of difficult to do from my phone.

Negativity no just a lifetime of being different and living some of the experiences that you are trying to understand. My honesty does have a habit of pissing people off but that's ok i will call a spade a spade.
I bless this experience.
Hi Stephanie
I awoke this morning and had a thought, it happens from time to time. 🙂
We have a lot more forums on this site than this Reiki & energy healing forum, whilst some people see Reiki and energy healing as a form of spiritual development and healing, most see it as personal development and healing which is a completely different thing, so whatever you ask on this forum you will get an answer that follows the understanding of the people who practice Reiki or energy healing etc, apart from the people who do not practice either who frequent this forum.
Each of the forums on this site has people in it who understand things in different ways in accordance with the different things that they do and practice, so if you are not finding the answers that you currently require in the Reiki and energy healing forum, then perhaps if you also asked some questions in the spiritual healing or spirituality forums, you might find that the answers that the people who practice spiritual healing and spirituality can give you are more psychic and spiritually orientated.
LOL...Thank you for asking me to leave. The humor in it makes my day:-)
I have found my answers. Just like Reiki, this chatroom was just a class for me to take and experience on my journey.
I bless this experience.
I don't think our Moderator was asking you to leave 🙂
He has made a valid point about different types of forums
However, forums are failing out there at an alarming rate
Our journeys are many and varied, covering many dimensions
If it feels right then it is right, however, this is your right
We cannot go head to head in our searches, as opinions differ
And people can agree on so much and so little in life
Never stop searching, for something new arrives every time a mouth is opened
Then it is our turn to use our minds to filter all the information available to us
No matter what book you open, you are looking at someone else's life and methods
You are not them, and the life they talk about is their's, then you can cherry pick for yourself
I really don't mind that he asked me to go elsewhere. It's funny. The people here are a very diversified group of people with one link...Reiki and/or energy healing. I share that link but I get it.
I have been invited to join other groups. And if you had your choice...anyone would rather be where they are wanted or feel like they belong.
I have learned something very valuable here. I'm OK with the results of this adventure. I bless the experience and can laugh about how a small question could make people so uncomfortable.
I'm kind of surprised at how ... and I'm trying to express this... in order to stand up and address the subject with courage. ..I lost my softness and conection to the others. I don't know. ..my spirit guides didn't want any part of this.
So...believe me...I get it. I have learned a great lesson here. And I prefer the spirit to people. But the gentle folk left here and have gone elsewhere. They have invited me to follow.

Hi Stephanie
I try to express in kind thoughts that I believe the members here had every intention to welcome you and to try to not only respond to your post but also share their beliefs and view which may help to expand your own knowledge and experiences and of course makes good conversations.:)
I don't believe there has been any negativity projected against you as a person for which you are a good person and like others continue to travel on our own paths, sharing our experiences on the way.
I hope you may come to consider how others views were in good faith to you and more importantly maybe to consider how this experience has possibly been uncomfortable for you?. Feel free to explore why this experience has been uncomfortable for you if it has, so we can all learn and grow with helping you also overcome anything you feel may contribute to your mission as a lightworker.
I agree it is all about learning. Maybe you could consider your valuable contributions as a HP member and we can all continue forward sharing and experiencing life together.
Take care
Andre:)
Hi Stephanie,
Paul didn't ask you to go elsewhere, that's just how you've interpreted it. His point was merely that you've targetted your question on a select few members within the Reiki and Energy Healing sub-forum of Healthypages, and yet there are other members within other sub forums who may give you different perspectives or answers, and may be more like the people you are currently wanting to connect with. It seemed to me that he was simply trying to suggest something that may be helpful to you... not actually telling you that you must leave here.
There are plenty of gentle folk here, and I don't believe they've been uncomfortable with the conversation, though perhaps more a little surprised at how you have interpreted what they've said as if it's something negative rather than just sharing of knowledge between like minded people (and yes we are all like minded people, that's why we share on these forums). From what I've read of everyone's responses, people have not tried to be judgemental or to tell you what you must do, they are just sharing from their own experiences. You talked of indigo children and the like, and these are not new concepts to many of the people who are here, who have many years of experience in leading "spiritual" lives (to put a label on it :D) any many recognise these concepts as new age things, but choose not to be limited by them. As an example, I myself, several years ago was "told" by someone, who believed themselves to be in contact with spirit, that I was born here with healing abilities to support and guide the indigo children. At the time it all seemed wonderful, but I've learned a lot of things and put things to the test to gain knowledge since then and I cannot hold what I was told as being completely true any more.... for why should I limit my sharing and caring (to summarize it) to just one group of people rather than all?
What is good to hear though is that you've found some benefit from this experience, even if you perceive some of it to have been negative. Maybe in time you'll be able to re-read what people have posted and see something different or new in it for yourself.... maybe you won't... that's your choice on your journey.
Thanks for posting the link to the youtube video, I'll take a look at that later when I'm home and can access youtube (can't from work!)
All Love and Reiki Hugs
I have enjoyed this thread immensely
A single question generated so much
70 posts of a very diverse nature
And all holding many differing views
If only all threads generated so much
When many differing views are generated
Words can be written and meanings lost
That is that nature of the written word
We all read what we believe the meaning is
Sometimes this is not always the spirit of the words
We are all human and that is what makes us

And you are right on more than one level. Part of why I am OK with this experience is that I have had a great deal of self reflection on the very subject of why some of the things said bother me so much.
As one of those bright artistic children, that did not do well in school but did very well studying at home alone or endless hours in the library. As a person always feeling on the outside and not being able to force interest in sports, politics or any exciting or contentious activity. As a person unwilling to play the pecking order game until later in life when having my own business forced me. Unwilling to fight unless backed into a corner and had no other option.
I came to a realization of a "label" if you will, a definition or a category that I fall into. And this came at a time if great awakening in me (spiritually and psychic ly). A time of upheaval, during a time of great searching and study, triggered by a reiki healing session. A vulnerable time. A joyous time, a frightening time. The label was comforting.
I came here, or was lead here. But the questions that came in response to some of my questions...
Why do you need a label? Why do you want to be special? How do you know you have a misson? Why do you have to have a mission? That there was some disconect with my oneness and connection with self, others and the source. OMG? Questions that undermined my joy at finding or reconecting with who I am and why I always felt outside and different. OK I'm different. It's Ok. I'm not the only one. Where are others like me? Let's have coffee?
Because I was a natural healer and I am a Reiki master/teacher (in two traditions) and this event was triggered by a energy healing...I found my way here thinking this might be an experience had by others on this same kind of path. To have it suggested that I go elsewhere is funny. I get it. Until I find the "others" like me, I will not fit anywhere. I get it. I am OK with it.
I have always seen my end life as a hermit, witch, crone, artist in a cabin in the woods, being sought out by those in need of comfort. Strange vision I know. But I'm Ok with that also.
When I say I bless the experience... I hold not pain, anger or resentment against anyone and take this as a learning exercise. In other words...I remember the lesson but let go of the emotional conection to the discord (real or imagined) 🙂
