Might there be someone out there who knows what I'm talking about?

Hi Sharyl,

I have always related somewhat to indigo characteristics, but after having read your list of crystal attributes, I see that I am so much more crystal. Some of the good news is, I don't feel like such a freak in this world.

A few months back I read a list of characteristics that I completely related to and it turned out to be written by someone with mild autism. Therapists and partners in my life have always wanted me on meds for anxiety and depression and I was for about ten years. I came off of them about six months ago and there's not much difference, other than the relief of not having to take them.

I am a recovering drug addict and alcoholic, now almost ten years clean. I knew at 14 years old that my path would be one of addiction and possible recovery, and yet I had never been around drugs or alcohol. I am super sensitive to everything, including "negative" emotions that you mentioned. If I am close to the person, the emotions become mine somehow and they feel better. I have all that magic happen around me and to me in absolutely amazing ways. On Sept. 11, 2001, I was driving to work not knowing the first plane had hit, and suddenly I felt so much chaos come over me, and I saw two paths, like a fork in the road. One was called fear, the other Love. I was told that I need to choose one, because up until then it had been easy. I am choosing Love. We are all One and there is no fear.

I am so sorry to be spewing this stuff to you, but I cannot believe that there might be someone out there who knows what I'm talking about. Perhaps I am not such a freak. Does this explain why psychics and palm readers are completely amazed with my cards and lines and usually want to do further readings or research for free? Does the crystal thing explain why I build muscle very fast too? Is that why I have such a deep connection to the man who was Jesus? I have so many questions, but I appreciate what you have done so that I may be comforted. Thank you so much.

Greetings A,

I am so glad that you have found us and have enjoyed the Crystal Attribute article. I have heard from any number of what I call the Elder Crystals who, like you, felt some resonance with the Indigo attributes, but feel as if someone can finally see who they are when they read the list of Crystal Attributes. There are more of you than we might think, but since you are not the ones drawing attention to yourselves, you have felt quite alone.

Yes, I have also seen that many of the Elder Crystals would, in certain settings, be called "mildly autistic." We humans so want individuals to fit into categories that when something doesn't fit a pattern, like the Crystal kids, we find the closest explanation and go with it.

Being Crystal could very well explain why "seers" get excited when they see you. There haven't been that many of you around and those who have been, have often been in hiding or killed.

I don't know about the ability to build muscle. I have not seen that the Crystals are particularly sturdy or muscular. My Crystal son is, but he works at staying fit. My feeling is that the musculature has more to do with genetics and astrology than being a Crystal, but I could be wrong.

I think at this time that many, many on the planet feel very connected to Jesus, one of the early Crystals. This is probably due to a number of reasons, including the shared Crystal Attributes.

Thanks so much for writing and God bless,
Sharyl

Can you tell me how to handle being a Crystal?

Hello Sharyl,

My name is C, I am from Peru, and I feel daunted and at the same time confused. I don’t know how to explain it, but I feel as if I have found the answers to some of my questions.

I really don’t know how I found your page, it was strange, but everything began when I heard about the Indigo children, and that sparked my interest. I began to notice the behavior of my two-year-old son and without a doubt I can tell you that he is either an Indigo or a Crystal.

What is most amazing is that I just realized that I have some of the characteristics, and I don’t know if this involves adults, I am 25 years old, but I presently have many of the characteristics of the Crystal children, as I read your article I became more and more involved. I could be wrong but I don’t think so.

I have the strange power to read what people are thinking or feeling and it becomes clearer as I spend more time with them, the sad thing is that almost always I end up withdrawing because I feel negative emotions.

As a rule, I have a very strong connection with children and when I look into their eyes it is very special, like free and pure energy, and we smile at each other after this communication, it is very tender. When I feel depressed, which happens often, I seek communication with nature as this relaxes me and gives me peace almost instantly. Too often, people take advantage of my noble character, even if it sounds conceited, I am a person who is sensitive and sweet and I have many talents and generally I do well in anything artistic and creative, that is why I am studying fashion design and I am also a model. I don’t like meat and eat it rarely, I prefer vegetables and sweets. I can feel other people’s pain, their jealousy, their lies, etc. I generally walk alone, I feel that people do not understand me and I feel different.

You will think I’m crazy but the things that I have wished with all my power have come true. I can name a number of things but nothing comes to mind, I only wish for you to read this mail and give me an answer, perhaps you can tell me why (I am this way) and how to handle it, if you do so I might be able to help others. Perhaps I will have an answer, God willing, but regardless, I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart. Greetings and many thanks.

Your friend,
C



HOLA:
Mi nombre es C y soy de Peru, realmente me siento consternada, confundida y a la vez no se como explicarlo pero siento como si encontre respuestas algunas preguntas que tenia en mi ser.Realmente no se como llegue hasta su pagina fue extaño, pero todo empeso de algo que escuche sobre los niños indigo, y mi interes empeso a despertar pues empese a notar comportamientos en mi hijito de 2 años especiales, y sin duda les puedo decir que es un niño indigo o cristal.Pero lo mas sorprendente es que acabo de descubrir me parece que yo tengo algo de esto y no se si se involucra con los adultos pues yo tengo 25 años y tengo muchas caracteristicas de un niño cristal actualmente, cuando leia el articulo y me iba involucrando mas en el, puede que este equivocada pero me parece que no.

Tengo un poder extraño de saber lo que la gente piensa o siente y con mas sertesa conforme paso el tiempo con ellos, lo triste es que casi siempre termino retrayendome porque siento sentimientos negativos. Por lo general tengo un magnetismo fuerte con los niños casi siempre los miro en los ojos, es muy especial, es una energia como libre ,pura y luego de esa comunicacion sonreimos es muy tierno cuando me deprimo mucho que me pasa seguido, busco conectarme con la naturaleza pues me tranquliza y da paz casi enseguida habeses la gente se aprovecha de mi nobleza aunque suene poco modesto soy una persona sumamente sencible y dulce tengo mucha habilidad para varias cosas pero por lo general me va mejor con lo artistico y creativo, por eso estoy estudiando diseño de modas y soy modelo como de todo pero no me gusta la carne rara vez la como prefiero las verduras y los dulces logro sentir el dolor de los demas, sus envidias, mentiras etc.por lo general ando sola pues siento que la gente no me entiende muy bien y casi siempre me siento rara. Me creeran loca pero lo que he deseado con mucha fuerza se a cumplido en fin podria enumerar mas cosas pero ya no se me bienen a la mente, solo quisiera realmente que se lea este mail y me manden una respuesta de como manejar esto un porque y de ser asi poder ayudar a otras personas.

Ojala pudiese tener su respuesta sera si DIOS quiere, independientemente les agradesco infinitamente les mando muchos saludos y agradecimientos.
su amiga.

Dear C,

What a wonderful letter! You are the classic Elder Crystal that I have written about so many times on www.planetlightworker.com. In fact, as I have so often said, I used my son Trevor who is now 29 years old, as the foundation for my list of Crystal Attributes. So relax, know that you are loved and doing everything just right. Getting exercise, being out in nature daily, being around water, time alone are all necessary for you to stay in balance.

For every one of you Elder Crystals who has stayed on the planet and is living a balanced life, I count it no small miracle. Thank you, thank you!!

You will be a wonderful parent to a carefully chosen child or children, whatever they are, Indigo or Crystal.

God bless and thanks for writing,
Sharyl



Querida C!

¡Que carta tan maravillosa! Eres la clásica Cristal Mayor sobre las que he escrito tantas veces en www.planetlightworker.com De hecho, como lo he mencionado muchas veces, yo uso mi hijo Trevor que ya tiene 29 años, como la base para mi lista de atributos. Así que relájate, quiero que sepas que eres amada y que estas haciendo todo correctamente. Hacer ejercicio, salir afuera a la naturaleza diariamente, estar cerca del agua, pasar un tiempo sola son cosas necesarias para ti para que mantengas tu equilibrio.

Por cada uno/a de ustedes Mayores Cristales que se han quedado en el planeta y que estan viviendo una vida equilibrada, me parece que no es un pequeño milagro. ¡Gracias, Gracias!

Serás una madre maravillosa para ese niño/a o niños elegidos, ya sean Indigo o Cristal.

Dios te bendiga y gracias por escribir,
Sharyl

How can I prepare for my Crystal
daughter's arrival?

Dear Sharyl,

I am 21 years old and feel that I may be connected with a part of the Crystal Children and even more because I know that in a few years I am going to have a lovely daughter named Regina. How can I prepare for her arrival?

V.

That’s a very big question, so it’s hard to know where to begin. I would say that the first thing that you must do is to make certain that you are healthy, strong and fit. Even some of the pregnancies are quite challenging to the mother's physical body. So get yourself in tip-top shape.

Do the best you can to assure that your life is stable. If you have to worry about rocky relationships or money, it can be difficult to give the attention you need to yourself and your child. Do all you can to free yourself from stress. If you have "issues," address then now. Go get any help you need dealing with buried emotions, unresolved traumas, etc. When a crystal child is born into a family, all of the hidden issues are brought out, so don't wait!

Learn how to stay in the present – consider reading Eckhart Tolle's book, The Power of Now. Accept yourself as you are and if you are having trouble with this, get some help. This is crucial!

I do hope this helps a little, thank you for your question and for your courage.

God bless,
Sharyl
