Do You Belong to One of the 5 Indigo Generations?

There are many reasons why you may feel unique. Could you or someone you know be part of the Indigo generations?

The following article will answer some of the questions you may have about indigo children and will help you find the “miracle children” in your close circle. One of the New Age theorists is Ms. Nancy Ann Tappe, who worked on the Indigo generations in an almost scientific manner and divided them into five categories according to the date of birth of these children.

Here are the five Indigo generations, according to Tappe:

Alpha Generation

The first generation, which was called Alpha, includes children born in the period between 1958 and 1968. According to Tappe, the period of the awakening of the Alpha generation was from 1986 until 1996. Their aura was seen as dark blue and green with purple shades.

The aura was also under the influence of the metallic beige hue, protecting them from external attacks and excessively early showing of indigo potential. Since early childhood, the Alpha had a feeling of being different, as if they did not belong to their home, country, or parents. The reasons for these differences were always vague and never provided a satisfactory explanation.

Beta Generation

They are people born in the period between 1968 and 1978. The period of their awakening coincides, roughly, with the period between 1996 and 2006. The colors of their aura are blue – green – purple, but no longer the color of the metal shield.

A typical feature of both generations, Alpha and Beta, is that they look much younger than they actually are, Tappe says.

Gamma Generation

The Gamma is the third generation of Indigo children, born between 1978 and 1988. The period of the intellectual awakening of these children coincides with the period between 2006 and 2016. This is the first generation with the minimum protective shield. It is usually purple with markings of ocher or a crystal color.

Delta Generation

These children are born between 1988 and 1998. One of the characteristics of the fourth generation is the pure indigo color of the aura. The period of maturation and spiritual awakening of the delta generation coincides with the period from 2016 until 2026.

This generation is too sensitive and needs plenty of help. These people are overactive and quite extroverted. They like to show the world who they really are and often do this with great self-confidence. In their environment, they want blue and purple colors and enjoy slow music. They avoid crowded places and anything that causes nervousness.

The Delta generation usually has difficult teenage years. Many of these kids think that something is wrong with them, they may dabble with drugs or have suicidal tendencies. The best remedy for them is Nature.

Omega Generation

Children born between 1998 and 2008 belong to the so-called Omega indigo generation. Supposedly this is the last “pure” indigo generation. According to Tappe, this generation will experience the “Dark Night of the Soulfrom 2026 until 2036.

Children born in the Delta and Omega period, are also called Crystal Children because of a particularly bright, crystal color in their aura.

These children are particularly vulnerable to various dermatology problems, allergies, and diseases (especially to those of the upper respiratory tract due to high environmental pollution). Also, a large proportion of them are characterized as autistic or suffers from Asperger syndrome. Tappe claims that autism in children is a way of self-protection from the attack and neurosis of the outside world.

The Awakening of Indigo

For each of the indigo generations, the process of awakening begins around the age of 28-29 years and lasts about 7.5 years. The “Dark Night of the Soul” is a period that can be particularly difficult because it is the final return of an indigo person to their mission in this life. This period is full of different problems and various difficult challenges.

In the mature age (37 – 39), the recovery of psychic abilities begins, Tappe claims. Until then, this person had enough time to finally learn to trust their psychic powers without being startled or trying to share their experiences with others.

Tappe claims that these internal experiences may include: having a clear insight, direction, and possible internal communication with the spirit world; the ability to read thoughts, feelings, and intentions of others; understanding the parallel levels of reality; a true insight into the nature of time.

While there is no evidence to support the claim that Indigo children are real, many people believe that they are. So let’s keep our mind open, shall we? If you are a spiritual person, maybe believing that you are an indigo child or adult could help you realize your potential. You may not have realized the awakening as it was happening. Maybe you just know someone who is part of the Indigo generations.

Whatever the case, this may be the real reason you or someone you love feels different. After all, the indigos are said to possess unique qualities, so maybe it’s just a metaphor for being a gifted, sensitive, and highly creative individual.

  • Alpha gen here. I knew something was up all the way back in 2nd grade, when I found myself floating about 50' over the playground looking at my classmates below. Many other experiences since.

  • This is so accurate it's eerie. I'm a delta. I've struggled with depression since I was a teenager. But everything has been changing this year and it's all because I've been spending more time in nature. Being surrounded by nature has definitely healed me! Aw yeah it's awesome

  • I was born in 2001 which would make me an Omega...
    I always known I had this innate motivation to do something important in this world but i've not really had any psychic experiences except when I was very very young. And I can eat most foods (dairy,meat,any of that) without problems, however if I eat too much acidic food I get heart burn which I think happens to most people?.. The only sensitivity I have is with soap. My mom used to say I had very sensitive skin when I was a baby, but most babies do, so she couldnt use soap or i'd get rashes. Today, i'm 14 and I still get rashes and my skin peels when I use soaps.
    The only psychic experiences happened when I was very young and I only remember about 2 or 3. Once before I started school I remember my babysitter calling me from my bed in the middle of the night to come say goodbye to her. The memory is foggy since I was very young but I remember that this happened actually a few weeks or a month before died in her sleep from breast cancer.
    Another strange thing that happened to me when I was young was that I remember waking up in the middle of the night and I had accidently knocked off the glass of water on my table onto the floor. What was strange was it was almost like the glass of water was reversing itself, like it was spilling onto the floor and than reversing back onto the table and back again and that happened for about 3-4 times until it actually stayed on the floor for me to pick up. The memory was still very foggy because I was half asleep.
    I think i've become out of tune with myself since because those are the only experiences i've ever had and they all happened by myself and in the middle of the night so my parents don't know. lol.

  • I believe that the Indigo started earlier than stated here. There are many from the 40's who definitely relate

    • I was born in 1940 and this fits me exactly. My earliest memory is from less than a year old. It was strongest when I was very young, then faded until I was about 29. I learned to use and deal with it from then on.

  • If u have suppressed your abilities to the point where they seem to no longer exist, how do you make them resurface?
