“Reiki Kids” A Creative Exploration of Energy is a one-day workshop for children. Students get in touch with their subtle energy and learn simple Reiki methods. This course is designed to be fun and interesting for children who have an awareness of their energetic being and would like to spend time in a nurturing, supportive atmosphere which allows them to explore their unique potential.

This program is designed for children that march to their own beat and hear the sounds and feelings of all. Students receive the ability to channel Reiki through an energetic process of attunement. The emphasis is placed on experiencing Reiki, putting words and feelings to this experience through art, movement and sound. The workshop is conducted in a child friendly environment. The class includes: energy exercises, sensing the energy field, Reiki attunement, healing with plants, animals and people, Reiki art, stories and meditation.

Successful Technique:
By using energy sensing techniques children will easily understand that they are electromagnetic beings as well as a physical being. Have them create an energy ball between their hands. First help make your hands sensitive by rubbing them together quickly like you would to warm your hands up if they were cold. Put the palms of your hands facing each other about 6 inches apart. Just leave them there for a minute, noticing what you feel between your hands.

Slowly move your hands closer together. Then move them farther apart until you begin to feel something gently resisting the push and pull of your hands. This is the energy ball and with practice you might even be able to see it.

Even if you don’t see it doesn’t mean it isn’t there. We can’t see radio waves, but if we turn on a radio we can hear them. We can’t see the satellite transmission to your TV, but when we turn on the TV we can see the picture. All energy works the same way. We need a transmitter and a receiver in order to sense how the energy is working.

After you have guided the child to feel the energy ball between their hands, have the child lie down on a large sheet of paper and trace an outline of their body. Give them paints, markers, sparkles, glitter, paper and glue. It is amazing to see what they create. Sparkling auras, flower like chakras, spirit guides and angels will appear on the paper as they freely express what they are seeing, sensing and feeling.

Future Goals:

Barbara will continue to supply information and materials for Reiki Masters to teach Reiki to Children. Barbara is developing the first certification program for Reiki Masters to teach Reiki to children. She will continue to support and assist setting up these programs throughout the world.

Sarah Wood teaches groups of children meditation and conducts a training program for adults who want to teach meditation to children. Sarah has developed The Satya Method, which shows teachers how to create respectful partnerships with their students, promotes organic education and shares how the classroom space is a path of inner growth for both the teacher and student.

Sarah offers a weekend workshop for parents and others interested in encouraging a child's already natural metaphysical awareness and abilities. The course certifies participants to teach children how to meditate and work with their chakra energy system. Participants also learn how to create their own meditations for children addressing a particular issue.

Successful Technique: Many children become distracted because of their ability to experience a rapid continuous flow of intuitive information. I find teaching children what to do with this stimulating information is the most effective way to help them find focus and peace. Close your eyes, take three deep long breaths, and imagine a cord connected to the root chakra (bottom of your tailbone), extending down into the floor, through the ground and into the center of the planet. This cord may look or feel like anything you choose, as long as it is able to carry particles of energy through it. This cord connects to the center of the planet. Once you feel this connection, imagine particles of energy moving out from all the areas of your body toward your root chakra (bottom of your tailbone). These particles of colored dust represent energy you just don't need anymore. Now release it down the cord, where it travels to the center of the planet and finds it's complementary energy and balances (since you don't need it anymore, it goes where it needed). This simple meditation is excellent for those who have trouble falling asleep, need calming after an intense activity or feel stuck in a frustrated space. It is best to draw a picture of yourself and your grounding cord, so that it becomes real in your mind.

Intuitive information also shows itself very intensely within dreams. Therefore, it is a good idea to encourage children to understand how dreams directly relate to our waking lives. Keeping a dream journal helps us recall, interpret and most importantly RELEASE this information.

Future Goals: Sarah plans to promote her book "Children, Meditation and Growth - Teaching Children Meditation Using The Satya Method." She hopes to expand her already established training program for adults who want to teach children meditation.

Location: Chesapeake, VA


The Spiritual Renaissance Summer Camp nurtures Indigo's special talents, abilities, and needs. The camp addresses the Psychological, Physical, Spiritual, Social and Emotional sides of children, so that he or she can grow up creative, healthy, strong, happy, and wise.

Children learn to create positive change in their lives and in the lives of those around them. Campers learn how to make these changes in a peaceful and focused way. Learning activities include Yoga, Qi Gong, EFT, Brain gym exercises, Quantum Physics in relation to Spirituality and leadership/ teamwork building skills. Camp leaders facilitates weekly coffee house-type presentations, field trips and community service projects.


Successful Technique:
Emotional Freedom Simon Says - Begin with a game of Simon Says. Then tap on the top of your head, middle of middle of your forehead, temples, cheek bones, the space between the nose and your lips, the space between your lips and chin, your collar bones, or in your armpits and have the children follow your moves. Then ask the children to think of something that bothers them while they follow your tapping in these places. Or, ask the children to think of an uncomfortable feeling and have then repeat this phrase while they tap their bodies: “Even though i feel... I completely love and accept myself” This is the Emotional Freedom Technique. The tapping moves energy through our energetic meridian system. This frees up the energy so it can break up and let disturbances go. Yawning while your doing it is a good sign that it's working, yawns are one way we release larger amounts of energy.

You can also get them to do Brain Gym exercises during it, like cross crawls, where you get your knees to touch your opposite elbows, this exercise helps the child to use both hemispheres of the brain to more easily integrate information. This helps with many skills including reading. You could also have the children massage their earlobes, which increases blood flow to the brain, or to rub their carotid artery (where it runs just below the collar bone), which stimulates the blood going to the brain.

Future Goals:
Brien plans to open a school centered around the camp activities/lessons integrated with Sudbury valley, Waldorf, Montessori, Reggio Amelia, He also plans to publish a book about being Indigo.

Location: Arlington, Texas (DFW area)


Heartlight DFW Learning Community (HLC) is a place of self-discovery and self-directed learning with no religious affiliation. The learning community follows the Sudbury Democratic Model School and will also incorporate spiritual concepts such as: awareness, honesty, responsibility and gratitude.
The enrolled students will be in complete control of their learning. There is no limit to what avenues the student can take and the adults will be right there to help facilitate what the child needs. Using the democratic model, entering students will have the ability to make laws, break laws, decide consequences, etc. There are no grades or tests as these concepts simply hinder learning and enter competition into the equation.


Successful Technique:
This activity allows children to come together to support one another while exploring various topics. Create a space for children of similar ages to sit together and openly discuss a particular subject. This dynamic works very well with teens however younger groups can also form. We have found that when children are given the opportunity to completely be themselves in a safe environment, their own wisdom will assist them through their tough childhood issues. Discussion groups can cover every imaginable topic such as sex, relationships, parents, pressure, friends, school, world issues, etc. It is a beautiful site to witness children using their own wisdom and intuition to help make their lives and the world a more peaceful and loving place.

Future Goals:
HLC plans to open an adult learning center in the near future. The adult activities will include study groups, parent/child circles, parenting workshops, and inner-growth work. In addition to HLC, we hope to take our wisdom out to local schools to assist children with drug prevention and sexual awareness. HLC also plans to open additional locations throughout the DFW area.

Contact: Dr. Jean Antoinette Schweizer, Center For Universal Learning

Website: www.indigoeducator.com
Location: Boynton Beach Fl


Center For Universal Learning, Inc. is an active supporter of the arts in both education and therapy. The Center offers Workshops for parents and professionals, Training for teachers and therapists, Curriculum design for schools, and Movement therapy for children. Dr. Jean Antoinette Schweizer , the founder, identified twenty-two rhythmic patterns (codes) which reveal how the Indigo, Crystal and Magenta children learn. When all twenty-two patterns are done consecutively with the whole body they create a tapestry of energy, a dance where all the instruments are in tune for balance for creativity and for expansion.

The children of the new consciousness do not do well when their unique energy patterning is interrupted, they literally bounce off the walls. This is why it is important for them to do the movements, sounds, thoughts, colors and tones to bring in the vibratory motion within each of their nine centers. These centers, when in balance bring them naturally to the stillpoint of the heart where new thoughts flow in and old patterns are released.

Successful Techniques:
1)This exercise helps a children align their mind with their heart. When the mind and heart are not in alignment it is more difficult to focus and process anger. Have the child put his or her fingertips together with both hands. This will bring the child immediately into his or her home in the heart center for grounding. Ask the child to imagine a golden sun, which will open the crown center, allowing energy to come into the body through the top of the head (crown charka) and out the solar plexus center (below the chest).
2) Energy Sharing: Have the child face you hold the child’s right hand with your right hand and hold the child’s left hand with your left hand. This makes a crossing point, an eight, where the energy flows into infinity. This is a more natural energy flow than flip-flopping around from one pole to another. Give the child a quality you wish to share with the child. For example, “patience." Ask the child to feel the quality/energy move from your hand into his or her hand. If you shared patience, ask the child to say aloud, “I feel your patience.” Repeat this process with other energies such as "love" and "courage.”

Future Goals: To reach as many parents, professionals and educational and healing institutions as possible to help these beautiful children maintain their balance in order to assist them in giving out their own teachings far and wide.

website: www.achildsvoice.net

A Child's Voice operates from a belief that there are positive answers to everything. They teach how frustrations can be eliminated, negativity and anger can be released, and stress can find an outlet by shifting thought processes. Their mission is to work directly with children, parents and teachers providing them with tools, strategies, resources and information to achieve a more fulfilling life..

ACV works specifically with Indigo Children, Gifted, A.D.D. and Crystal Children to resolve these conflicts. By working with parents they are better able to understand their child and assist in strengthening their relationship. Parents are also provided with resources, information and tools to help maneuver through the many issues involved in their child’s school and home environment. Teachers also benefit from understanding supportive engagement techniques™ to use with children in their classroom.

Successful Technique: “Releasing Fears Box”: First explain to the child that they will be making their very own “Fear Box”, in which they can put anything that is bothering them into so they don’t have to hold on to it. Have the child create their “own box” by taking a small blank white box, writing their name on the lid and then drawing pictures all around the box of their favorite things. You may want to cover the box with plain white paper if the box has words and logos on it. Depending on how the child decorates the box you can learn more about the child and what he/she is interested in. Once they have finished drawing on their box, give the child small blank pieces of paper on which they can write down all their fears on to; anything that is bothering them and put them in the box. This way the fears get pulled off of themselves and put in the box, relieving any “baggage buildup” that currently plagues many adults.

This activity also gives the parent insight into a child’s fears and concerns that they may be able to help with through future conversations. The child can place their “fear box” on their shelf for any future problems or fears that may crop up in their life. By putting it in the box, the child gets rid of the fear.

Future Goals: As Features Editor of Parenting and Education Sections of Children of the New Earth Magazine, Tracey plans on providing more tools and resources for parents internationally to better equip themselves for their parenting journey. Tracey is also in the process of publishing “Parenting Indigo Children” a book based on case studies from her practice. She also plans on launching a series for kids based on seven kid characters that are Indigo Children, entitled Daisy Button Adventures.

Angela offers Yoga classes for children, Meditation classes for children, Chakra and Aura Workshops for children, Partner Yoga for parent and child promoting communication, bonding, and workshops for school teachers providing simple techniques for getting great results in the classroom.

Angela Moore is a mother of two “indigo” children, an intuitive lightworker, and an energy healer. She holds certifications as a Children’s Yoga Instructor, Children’s Meditation Facilitator, Reiki Master, and Rainbow Touch Practitioner.

Successful Technique:
This activity is used with two or more children. First ask the children to close their eyes and take some deep, cleansing breaths to calm them down. Then ask them to see a chord going down from their root chakra (at their tail bone), down through the floor, down through Mother Earth, all the way to the core of boiling hot magma. Then ask them to see a beam of light filled with love coming up from the center of mother earth, up through their root chakra, through their naval chakra (behind their belly button), through their solar plexus chakra (behind their stomach), their heart chakra, their throat chakra, their third eye chakra (between their eyebrows), through their crown chakra (at the top of their head), up to Father Sky. Then ask them to see a beam of light filled with love coming down from Father Sky and going in through their crown chakra, down through all the chakras and blending with the light from Mother Earth.
Then ask them to see themselves as the golden angels that they are. Tell them to feel their wings on their backs and to begin to move them. Remind them that one day soon they will be conscious of their wings all the time and that then they will remember how to fly. Then tell the children to open their eyes and to look at each other. Ask them to look at the other child or children next to them and see their friend or sibling as the angel that he is; to see his wings. Then ask them to start to flap their wings and to see each others wings flapping. Remind them that one day soon they will be flying together, going on adventures and having great fun. It is always a pleasure to see the look of joy and wonder on their faces as they flap their angel wings for each other and anticipate their fun adventures together. This activity always helps to replace feelings of animosity with warm and fuzzy feelings.

Future Goals: Angela plans to bring awareness to schools and communities of children’s innate goodness and awesome abilities and how these qualities are easily displayed when children are trusted and guided rather than feared and controlled. She also plans to continue providing an environment in which children’s physical, emotional, creative, and intuitive abilities may flourish, as well as to help children reconnect with their inner power, guidance, joy, and peace.

"Investing in Adult Understanding of Special Children" is a 2-day workshop approved for continuing education for teachers, social workers, professional counselors, registered nurses and advanced practice nurses in the state of Illinois. Many states have reciprocal agreements that allow this workshop to used for continuing education credits in other states.
Workshops are interactive multi-sensory experiential learning that reconnects the Soul with sources of personal meaning and satisfaction. Holistic practitioners facilitate experiences that can be duplicated in classrooms, counseling sessions, or at home with your family. The latest cutting-edge scientific research and information is used at the basis for personal and cultural change.
Deb Redman, president and founder of Legacy, has been working as a catalyst to help families and children deal with the everyday issues, concerns, and situations that adults, teenagers, and children face. Deb works one-on-one and in groups with parents, counselors, teachers, and other adults to help them understand the children and teenagers with whom they interact.

Successful Technique:
Sweeping Away Energy: Heavy energy has a tendency to settle around us throughout the day. Using your hands, wipe them over your entire body, reaching around to your back as much as you can. Starting at your head, move down the neck, sweeping the shoulders, upper back, lower back, arms, chest, belly, butt, thighs, calves and shins, ending at the feet. Once you have reached the ground, hold your hands parallel to the ground and ask Mother Earth to transmute all of the energy you just took off into positive, useful energy. It doesn't matter if you touch the ground or not. You may also perform the sweeping technique on another person. People report feeling lighter, clear headed, and able to vocalize much better. They usually feel energized, relaxed, and in a better frame of mind for learning. For best results, have fun while performing this technique. You may want to introduce it as a game to children.
For sleep walking and intense dreams: Tell your child to go to the Temple of the Masters while sleeping. This is a safe place to rest our consciousness during sleep. Many children and adults report that the nightmares and sleep walking stops immediately and they finally get a good night's sleep. The primary thing to teach here is that children can have control over what happens to them while their Souls continue working during slumber. They can tell their Guides that they don't want to play or work that night and they can decide for themselves when they want to interact with their Guides. It also helps children and teens to know that they are receiving significant information during their dreamtime. It's very important to write down as many details as possible, as the meaning may become clearer later. If your is too young to write, you can keep a journal for them. This creates a wonderful bond of trust and communication if the parent does not judge the information, try to change a child's interpretation or attempt to interpret the information for the child. The parent's only role is to record EXACTLY what the child says. If the child wishes to discuss the dream, then do so in an age appropriate way.

Future Goals: To work with human service workers and families to facilitate the healing of everyone so that the groundwork is laid to help The New Frontier of Children usher in the 1,000 years of Peace that is their mission.

 

Canada

Contact: Nicolette Groeneveld, Indigo Sudbury Campus
Location: Edmonton, Alberta, Canada
Email: sendlove@telusplanet.net
Website: www.indigosudburycampus.com

The Indigo Sudbury Campus is modeled after Sudbury Valley School in Framingham, Massachusetts, functioning on two main premises: self-initiated learning and participatory democracy. Self-initiated learning means students initiate all their own activities. The Campus makes available abundant resources, time and space for students to discover, explore and express their passions and interests. Students become whole people who are inner driven.
All students and staff members have a vote at the weekly Campus Meetings, making decisions on matters affecting the day-to-day operation of the Campus. Other keys to the successful democratic functioning of the campus are staff elections and student participation on the Judicial Committee, which addresses all disciplinary questions at the Campus. Thus far, students have fully participated in organizational meetings and have voted on key issues such as the Campus name and Campus rules.

Successful Technique: Anger Release Visualization: Imagine yourself in a room with a big screen. Onto that screen project the person or people you're angry with and know that their role while they're on your anger screen is only to listen; they can't talk, defend their point of view or answer you, they can only listen. Now step back into the screen yourself and start telling these people why you're angry. Let them hear the works! Whatever you're angry about, tell them. Whatever you think is unfair, share it with them. Whatever you've been wanting to say, say it. Express absolutely everything you're feeling and keep right on raging until your anger's gone. When you truly feel relieved of your anger, freeze the scene on the screen ... place an imaginary bomb beneath it, and blow the whole thing up. This, once again, tells your subconscious mind that you're letting the whole thing go.
Once your anger screen in gone, put up a new and beautiful screen that reflects a safe place for you (your bedroom, a tree house, an empty beach, etc.) Often underneath the wrath of your anger you are actually hurting so in this safe place you're going to ask someone who is very special to you - friend, [relative], guardian angel, etc. - to come help you heal your pain. This person will come hold you and console you until you feel at peace.

Future Goals: It is Nicolette's personal goal to bring as much awareness as possible to the Sudbury model, which she is prepared to do through speaking engagements and written work.

Successful Techniques: Top 10 Tips for Teaching Indigos by Wendy H. Chapman

1. Treat them with respect. If you do not show it for them, they won't give it to you despite your position of authority. Listen to their opinions. They need to know you care and recognize them as people of value.
2. Empower them. Give them choices such as what type of product to create to demonstrate learning, what order they do the work in, perhaps between two activities (as a class decision). Having a voice that makes a difference will do wonders for their self-esteem, will usually encourage them to participate in the choice they have made, and consequently will improve their attitude towards you and towards education.
3. Solicit cooperation and avoid giving orders. Indigos do not respond (at all or not positively) to those who attempt to control them. They will respond to those who treat them fairly and kindly.
4. Help them do things that make a difference. If they are frustrated with the way something is - from homework in the school to homelessness in the world, encourage them to do something positive to change it.. Like writing letters to the school board or the paper, creating poetry about it, making posters, t-shirts, organizing a school or community group to focus on the issue and work to change it.
5. Help them discover and develop their talents and strengths. Encourage their creativity and unique personal expression.
6. Be tolerant of their extreme emotions
7. Help them balance by using aromatherapy, allow them to drink water in the classroom, quiet moments or visualization practice
8. Encourage students to be peacemakers for each other. Indigos are here to be peacemakers for the world. Let them practice now. This helps develop communication and compassion. Be a guide in this process.
9. Explain WHY about everything. Why certain rules exist, why they need homework (Do they really if they already understand the concept?), why the world has to be the way it is. If you don't have an answer, acknowledge their frustration and show empathy.
10. Discourage medicating for ADD. Often it is not ADD, but Indigo nature creating selective attention. If they can focus on a topic of their own choosing for long periods of time, it's probably Indigo, not ADD. Even if there is a problem with attention and distractibility, there are alternative methods of therapy that, unlike Ritalin, do not suppress the natural creativity and leadership of Indigos. Encourage organizational aids.


Future Goals: Wendy plans to continue teaching and traveling to other states and countries, as well as offer services via online chat, phone, and email.

Conscious Parenting for a New Paradigm seeks to lead and accelerate enlightened and empowering change in the world by recreating the worldview beliefs about parenting and children. Offering parents, teachers, and other adults who care about the welfare of our children, a way of developing the insight and behaviors necessary to empower the Indigo Children to develop their abilities to the utmost, so that they can complete their role as the "peace makers". Participants learn effective strategies for today's adult/child relationships that can make parenting a lot more successful and fun. This class helps you deal with the stresses in today's family, while furthering the understanding of the Indigo Children.
Barbra also teaches "Awakening Inner Child Consciousness" focused on healing the parents of the Indigo Children from their childhood wounds. She has twenty years experience as a therapist and is the author of "The Unofficial Guide For Living Successfully On Planet Earth", as well as contributing author to "An Indigo Celebration".

Successful Technique: Changing You First: When your Indigo is behaving in a way that makes you want to pull your hair out, and you have utilized all your conscious parenting skills, you might want to try changing you, rather than changing them. When you have someone in your life whose behavior pushes your buttons, it is best to release your thoughts/judgments about this behavior, rather than fixating on it. Continually thinking of the person's negative behavior creates an energy that literally holds their frequency (and their behavior) in place. You are thinking, "That's the way they are!" And guess what? You are right. That is the way they are as long as you hold them that way!
What you need to do is think about them the way you want them to be. Your feelings will go along with your new perception. In doing so, you are creating a space for them to change, along with the energy to help them. Therefore, releasing your thoughts/judgments about the behavior will allow them the freedom to move out of the behavior. Try this process over a period of a few weeks, you will notice it gets easier and easier each time.
Here are some techniques and questions you might want to ask yourself:
Where in my life am I trying to change my child?
What can I do to change my perspective of the situation?
What can I do to change me?
What is my child trying to teach me?
Bring your child into your meditation and communicate with them there.
Send your higher self to their higher self, to help work it out.
Surround them with white light and release them to their highest good.


Future Goals: Barbra plans to continue traveling throughout this country training facilitators and educating parents and teachers in opening to the possibility of conscious families so that the mission of these new souls will be accomplished!

Phone: (562)-907-9239

Carolyn, a Mother of three and Co-Founder of the Wings of Light Center, is an Intuitive Lightworker, Energy Healer and Certified Spiritual Counselor. Carolyn guides people to heal the issues, which block them from seeing their true and higher selves. She aids in teaching them ways to heal their lives through listening to their inner guidance and bodies. Carolyn also works with Children of today and helps to bring awareness about these children, to parents and teachers. She is available for workshops on Indigo Children, Healing Meditation and other various topics, and for private Spiritual Counseling and Energy Healing sessions by appointment.

Successful Techniques: The following exercises work well with both adults and children, especially if they are used daily #1Energy Cleansing and Balancing: Energy work itself is a great way to help children, when it is used to cleanse both their spirit and their environment. Indigo children are energetic sponges. They pick up on all the energy around them, especially within their own environment. This energy overload comes from picking up on fear, anger etc. and the only way they know how to deal with the uncomfortable energy is to act it out. They may throw tantrums, be verbally or even physically abusive. The following activities are tools for releasing this energy. Have the child focus on what they are feeling, maybe something that happened that day or just that moment when they were experiencing anger, resentment, fear, sadness etc.. Then ask them to blow these feelings into a balloon (either a real balloon or an imaginary one). Have them blow the balloon up as much as they need, releasing all the feelings, hold onto it for a moment and then thank the Angels and Universe for transmuting or clearing everything that is in the balloon into love and healing energy. Let the balloon go. Observe the child have so much fun watching the balloon zip all over the place, while their energy completely shifts.
#2 Grounding for Focus and Peace: Many children tend to float or journey outside their bodies, leaving them very distracted and with what seems to be an Attention Disorder. Grounding their energy in their body helps them to be in the present moment. Simply, have the child imagine a white light coming down, starting at the top of their head and running down through their body, down the arms out the palms of the hands, down the legs out the souls of the feet and out the base of their tail bone, all going down into Mother Earth and spreading roots like a tree.
#3 Strengthening Psychic Abilities: Take turns thinking of a color, see it in your mind's eye and feel the color in your body. You may repeat the name of the color in your mind, then send all that you are feeling, seeing, hearing, and smelling about the color to your partner's third eye (between the eyes) and heart center. The partner tunes into the color by bringing it through their senses. Then allow the receiver to share what they have picked up on about the color you have sent them. This may take practice but make sure you keep laughing with it and keep it light. You can also do this with numbers, animals, sports, words, and shapes. Or use pictures; sit in front of each other, while one looks at a picture and sends it through their mind to the partner.

Future Goals: Carolyn is presently writing a book, which will bring about awareness of how to understand and work with the Indigo Children. She plans to travel promoting this awareness. Carolyn is also creating an Indigo Support Group and learning center for The Children of Today

The Sanctuary School and online program offer online and text-based courses that enable Indigo and other children and youth to develop their creative abilities, academic brilliance and leadership potentials. For those in independent study and classroom programs, the courses provide a foundation in kind living and love of nature by encouraging compassionate service, partnership with all life and individual creative expression. The wisdom within the student is nurtured and allowed to come forth. Children are encouraged to actively serve the planet and develop global links and partnerships with other schools and organizations in order to share their cultures, dreams and new ideas.

Successful technique: Ask your child to draw a picture of their heart and then to draw the earth inside of their heart. Ask your child if they feel differently about Mother Earth when they imagine the earth inside their own heart. Then work with your child to practice asking permission before you pick a flower, break off a branch or pick up a stone. When you do this, talk to your child about feeling the relationship between you and the lower, the tree, the stone? And practice saying "thank you" for the flower, the branch, or the stone. Thank you is a magical power!

Future Goals:Additional courses for teens are being developed. Expanded curriculum to include all subject areas (a complete home study curriculum) will be provided. Partnerships with other schools and an on-site learning center are envisioned.

Hay For Kids is a children's spiritual/self esteem program based on Louise Hay's concepts Our program consists of a children's Treasure Hunt workshop which playfully encourages children to understand that they have beautiful unique gifts and talents to share. The children are introduced to the concepts of affirmations, positive thoughts, mind, body, spirit as one, ecology, etc with the help of fun exercises. Creative visualizations are used to introduce meditation and breathing exercises.

Hay For Kids also offers rhyming affirmation card packs which are a fun way for children to transform potential negative thoughts, speech and actions. 30 beautifully designed cards in a set, each affirmation accompanied by its own fun rhyme to encourage the children to say them.

Successful Technique: Affirmations: You can help your child change negative thoughts and negative speech by the use of Positive Affirmations. Positive Affirmations are positive statements said in the first person singular and in the present tense. Have your child say Positive Affirmations looking at themselves into a mirror. It bounces the positive thought deep into the subconscious. Children love mirror-work - it's fun. Babies also love to look at themselves in a mirror and you can say all the wonderful things for them. Encourage your child to say their affirmations regularly. You can help your child make their own personalised Positive Affirmation cards. Buy some colored cards, decorate them with glitter and stickers and ask your child to write their own Affirmations.

Here are some examples to get you started:
I AM UNIQUE AND SPECIAL
THERE IS NOBODY QUITE LIKE ME AND I HAVE UNIQUE GIFTS AND TALENTS
I LEARN NEW THINGS EVERY DAY
I HAVE A LOVELY SMILE
I BELIEVE IN MYSELF
I AM MY OWN BEST FRIEND
I ALWAYS LOOK FOR SOMETHING POSITIVE IN EVERYONE
I KNOW I AM SPECIAL AND HERE TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE
I MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE IN MANY SPECIAL WAYS
I ENJOY AND USE THE TALENTS I HAVE
I TREAT EVERYONE AS I WANT TO BE TREATED
I HAVE THE POWER TO CHANGE MY THOUGHTS
I LOVE MYSELF EXACTLY AS I AM

Future Goals: Hay For Kids plan to develop our material further. We hope to pilot the workshops in schools in the UK and envisage a pregnancy and pre-pregnancy program.

The SoulPoint process works with and integrates the family with the basic components they would have if they had been born as Indigos, and allows them to step into it as if that was all they had ever known. It gives them the opportunity to see through the eyes of the child from within themselves and know what the child really needs. Bonding is a natural result. Another facet of the SoulPoint work is working with a woman during pregnancy, allowing the parents to come into alignment before giving birth. SoulPoint is the connecting link that allows all the aspects in life to function easily. It's the basic translator that opens the inner files of understanding.

Successful technique: This very simple technique can be used from the moment of conception, into school years, and beyond. It speaks very strongly to the natural senses of the Indigo by using the language they understand. The message is one of trust, safety, blossoming, and being nurtured. It can smooth out rough situations and help you and the child bond in more ways than you could possibly imagine! Go into a relaxed, meditative space with your child. Have your child imagine the following process with you. This image is of a flower in a very tight bud. As you are seeing this, allow the bud to gently start to open. Imagine you can feel the sun, the breeze, smell the air around this budding flower, even to knowing the texture of the soil it's in. Add in as much sensation as you possible can, make it up if you need to, pretend. Let the colors come alive in your awareness as you are doing this. Allow the bud to slowly, gently transform into a blossoming flower in it's full majesty. Feel the smile within you as you are experiencing this miracle of nature, and sense your ability to appreciate it. Then simply come out of the meditative state. Notice how you feel. Notice what thoughts come to you. Notice what your senses start to perceive in the environment around you. Most importantly, enjoy the process! If it is difficult or challenging in the beginning, just know that it's still working. It will become easy and fluid the more you do it.

Future Goals: To have conference call workshops for the SoulPoint process, a workbook and tape series that can be downloaded off the website, and study/support groups so that everyone can realize and recognize their true innate Indigo nature and live from that space of harmony and nurturing.

Type of Program: Alternative Medicine

Phone number: 305-551-0695

Dr. Monica Moreno combines homeopathic medicine with acupuncture and colortherapy. Samassati Colortherapy uses the vibrational frequencies of colored light. For example, If a child is hyperactive, there may be excess of the color red being sent to the brain, enhancing activity. We then balance it with the color green, its opposite, which changes the pattern and calms the child. Blue has a soothing effect, enhances peace, tranquility and is very effective for use in treating ADHD. Yellow is an anti-bacterial (throat infections) and also aids the digestive system (spleen/stomach).

Homeopathy is a health option for treating children because all the ingredients are non-toxic. The natural ingredients used and the philosophy of diagnosis is why many parents are drawn to this modality. Homeopathy treats the whole person, meaning practitioners take into consideration other elements in addition to physical symptoms. For example, sleeping patterns, eating habits and emotional states.

Successful Technique: Better Sleeping: The following are some suggestions for helping your child fall asleep more easily and have a better nights sleep all around. (1)Use a blue colored bulb in a lamp in your child's room (2) Spend quiet time with your child about an hour before bedtime. You can talk with your child, read to him or her (no bedtime stories that have "monsters" in them, or bad endings)or listen to soft music. In fact stimulating TV shows can affect your child's falling asleep. It is best to not watch TV for an hour before bedtime. (3) It is best to give your child a good meal about two hours before bedtime. If a snack is needed it is best to feed your child food high in carbohydrates. Chamomile tea or linden are also great right before bed. (4) The parent can also press gently on the acupoint called YinTang, which is approximately between the eyebrows, this will relax you child.

Future Goals: Dr. Monica plans to continue treating children and women and operating her successful health clinic in Miami Florida.

Arizona
Program Type: Delphi Kids' Club (Earth club)
Contact: Susan Hunt
Location: Tucson, AZ
email: delphiclub@earthlink.net
website: http://home.earthlink.net/~delphiclub/
phone: 520-292-9308

Inspired by the book "Six Lessons with Delphi: How to Live Happily with All Life" by Patricia Jepsen and Delphi, a golden retriever, this club for children and their families focuses on partnership with the earth and caring for all life. Children and their families take part in games, projects and activities which promote listening with the heart, kindness towards all living beings, and respect for the connections we all share. Community outreach and partnership with other programs is encouraged.

Successful Technique: Circle of Life Game -- Have everyone stand and hold hands in a circle, except for one or two individuals who remain outside (the "actors.") This circle represents the circle of life. Have each person in the circle choose an animal or one part of nature that they would like to represent, i.e. a turtle, rock, ocean, tree, bird, cloud, etc. When everyone is ready, allow the "actors" to push or pull on the arms of someone in the circle, and notice how this movement causes others in the circle to move as well. (What happens when you pull on a circle?) Talk about how everything is interconnected, and how what we do to one part of nature affects the whole. What positive actions can we do for those living around us, and how will they affect the planet as a whole?

Have each child choose a positive action they could undertake to benefit the earth, and carry it out. For example, “I will water the tree in my front yard so that is can grow big and strong." Or, choose an action that you would like to undertake as a group to help the earth. For example, "We will pick up litter at the park." As an outgrowth of this discussion, let each person write his or her own Earth Treaty: a promise or agreement with the earth about the positive actions they would like to undertake. Take the treaty outside and read it to the earth. Can you hear her response?

Future goals: As more clubs form, children will be able to connect with others around the world, learn about their cultures, and work together on common projects related to the earth and world peace.
