September 2002

This month Sharyl hears from elder Crystals and a teacher with strategies for helping the new children at school.

Dear Sharyl:

Thank you so much for your wonderful article on the Crystals in last month's issue of PLW! And your follow-up in this month's issue on Elder Crystals. When I read last month's issue, I immediately KNEW I was an Elder Crystal - sent here as part of the advance team - but I felt so alone I was afraid to claim that identity with friends, even those friends who also read PLW.

It was not until reading this month's article about other Crystals connecting with each other that I realized I too could come forward.

Like Toby, I have had innumerable orthopedic injuries, all of which have miraculously healed. I dislocated my shoulder two years ago and have complete recovery and complete range of motion - this is not a young woman! I am incredibly sensitive to light and sound. My friends and companion laugh when I wear earplugs at a movie theater or any time we listen to 'live' music. I am very telepathically connected to my son and my companion, and they realize it too. At times, I wonder if my son is also a Crystal. I cannot stand to deal with money - I don't want it, I don't like it, I couldn’t care less about earning it or having it. I do not measure abundance nor success according to a standard based on 'money'.

I am a Reiki Master and when our microwave oven malfunctions, my son calls,"Mom, please come heal the microwave." And I do! With Reiki. My friends won't let me near their computers and electronics, because I disrupt them so they malfunction. I am never lost, can navigate unerringly through the wilderness–a psychic says it's because of the large 'dish antenna' on top of my head. Silly me, I thought it was from all the magnetic material in my brain. I can call elevators to the floor I'm on just by wishing the elevator was there, and it appears, elevator doors open, no one on it, no one has pushed the button to bring the elevator to this floor. I have demonstrated this ability to my friends and they are impressed, awed, and slightly nervous about it.

I was told by several intuitives that I was led to the geographic location where I currently reside, to'anchor' an energy here. I hope so, because I feel like a stranger in a strange land!

When I was going through my divorce, I sought counseling with a psychotherapist and I announced to her, "I only want to be normal." She blurted, "But you're not normal." It was then that I realized that I'm not 'normal', and it's okay! Other friends have told me that I am in so much 'resistance' to who I really am, although none of us knew who I really was. Rather than resistance, I think I was trying so hard to 'fit in', which we know is hopeless.

I would so love to correspond with other Elder Crystals. I can write my story if you want, although I hope you have enough of those by now. But to connect with others like me would be so wonderful! Please pass along my email if you are helping Elder Crystals to form a 'network', because we so need to communicate with each other. Just knowing that others like me exist has given me such a lift emotionally.

Thank you so very much for your great articles! Now the first thing I search for in PLW each month is an article about the crystals!!

Acer

Greetings Acer:

One day, you and others like you will be normal! Not much consolation now, is it?

I have thoroughly enjoyed reading your letter and I just want to thank you for being here, hanging in during the hard times and for coming forward to share with the rest of us.

God bless, Sharyl

Dear Sharyl:

I am a 48-year-old Indigo living in Seattle, Washington. I was born and raised in Pullman, a small college town in eastern Washington. I received my undergraduate degree in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Washington. After spending 25 years in engineering firms, more recently I have been working as a math tutor, both privately and as a volunteer in the local school system. I am devoted to exploring the potential of my own journey with a range of energy medicine disciplines including Qi gong, meditation, drumming and sound.

Over the last several years I have tutored math from elementary through high school levels. I love the clear wonder as I see children gain skill and understanding. When that spark comes forth with deep, almost surprise in their own mind, I know there is a luminous connection. It is a spiritual gift from an intelligence that is bigger than the two of us sitting there trying to master a few numbers.

When I tutor I look for the strengths and weakness of each student. A valuable text reference for me is "The Secret Language of Destiny" by Gary Goldstein and Joost Elffers. This provides quick information in each individual’s personal core lessons, gifts and challenges. This gives insight for what can work for the each student by accessing the potential of his talents which would complement his weak areas. I continually hold a student’s strengths visible while utilizing talents to work around their challenges.

Children show their strengths in what they love and in how they play. Playing can open up the many parts of the brain’s thought process. I believe that swimming and music are key in accessing this flow. In staying in a relaxed and fresh mode of thought, students can enjoy learning when they are best able to absorb and contribute the most. I emphasize playing or learning in the spirit of fun to enhance this flow. Some possible areas to increase this spirit include:

  1. Music - which can activate and maintain that mode of play for increased concentration. Different kinds of instrumental music at a low harmonious frequency can help move through learning blocks. "The Mozart Effect" by Don Campbell shows how music can diminish the tension and expand attention. Of course, each individual may respond differently depending on her own personal development as well as likes and dislikes.
  2. Interactive board games - which can enhance flexibility and exchange of information. A few board games that stretch the learning experience of math include Mastermind, Chess, Battleship, Parcheesi, Monopoly, Stratego and Clue. One main purpose is to playfully increase the patterns and sequencing along with strategies which can help tap into learning.
  3. Movement through swimming - which can activate cross-lateral brain activity. This cultivates learning and opening of new patterns and thought processing.

At the middle school level, students can excel in sports while juggling the many dynamics going on in the classroom and schoolyard. Amid large amounts of stimuli, they are learning organization and self-management techniques to support their needs. They may flag potential areas of difficulty and find ways to work around them. As they grow in social skills they are expanding several levels of their mind and body. This could aggravate already potentially impulsive, competitive and/or sensitive personalities.

Last June, a 6th grade teacher referred a student to me. He had given up on himself and was getting 9% on his class work and tests. While working with him, I found him diligent, sensitive and genuinely motivated to stay up with his classmates. He was accomplished in music, poetry, skateboarding and soccer. I found his lapses in memory more from lack of useful strategies. When he broke up the lessons into ten to fifteen minute progressive exercises each day, his retention of the material improved along with his self-confidence. His mental process needed shorter time periods to maintain positive, consistent access to his personal wiring.

I recommend Dr. Mel Levine’s book "A Mind at a Time" which discusses techniques for working toward the success of all students. Dr. Levine’s work was helpful to me as I tutored a sophomore in high school algebra/geometry class. She was advanced in her writing, arts and communication skills. With positive coordination skills, she had motivation and confidence in her capabilities. Her freshman year in math confused her in part because of several changes in instructor. The following year her first exam resulted in a failing score. After coaching her through the baseline of multiplication, division, fractions, ratios, percents and irrational numbers; I found a consistent weak link. Her brain would mix subtraction and addition symbols in the middle of the algebra steps. This mix-up in the middle of several sequences caused major problems in accuracy as you can well imagine.

I used Dr. Mel Levine’s book to identify the weak links of symbols combined with sequencing. After showing her the repetitive confusion, she was able to support her mental wiring by writing each step and slowing down to minimize overload in the process. It encouraged her to accept and appreciate what she did know while understanding where she could improve.

I recommend staying open while both encouraging the individual and identifying strengths as wonderful ways to directly support each student to be the best that they can be. Clearly identifying talents and then using techniques for working with difficulties will help each student gain confidence in his own abilities. As Dr. Mel Levine would say, "Every student deserves to be successful," and I genuinely applaud all our collective efforts toward positive change in education for our future generations.

Doris W.

Dear Doris:

Thank you for sharing with us some of your success, particularly in working with middle school students. I have always been aware that we lose a lot of kids at the middle school level. It is a challenging age and it has been my observation that many of the teachers are very tired, even burned out and just plain overworked and underpaid. I have also observed something else that I never hear people talk about. When children are little, in elementary school, for example, the system or the collective sort of looks at them as if they are inherently good. Then when they enter middle school, the system (at least the one that I observed in Seattle) suddenly sees them as inherently bad. The rules, the attitudes, the whole set-up says, "You are not good and we must control you, restrict you and reflect this to you every way we can." There is a real loss of innocence when this happens. This is already an age when kids feel they don’t really know who they are and are confused about many things, so this change in attitude by the system is not only devastating it also confirms what these young people are already beginning to feel.

Anyway, that is one of my issues to bring up on my soapbox! Thanks again for all that you do and please keep up the good work. I am sure that parents, tutors and teachers can use some of your tips for success.

God bless,

Sharyl

Dear Sharyl:

A friend sent me Planetlightworker at the first of June.  I then read what you wrote about Crystal Children.  I am 62 years old and yes, we have always been here.  When I was 16 months old I asked my sister " Why am I here?".  My sister was 16 years older than I am and she told me before she left this world that I did ask her that question many times.  I have been able to know what people were thinking all my life.  When I was small I would tell people what was going on in their lives and what they could do to make it a happy place for them.  My mother told me I must not talk to people about those things because it made them have a lot of fear.  I have always seen colors around people and heard sounds.  Your list of qualities that crystal people exhibit fit me to a tee.  I could tell you so much more but after 60  years of not telling about my life and the things I know and have seen, I do not feel as if I could tell.  I have worked with children, and they have always known about me. I have walked many across to the other side and at that time they knew about me. If I could help the children in anyway I would be more than happy to do that...May you be blessed in your work and may it bring you joy and love. 

Ruth

Dear Ruth! 

 And I thank you so much for writing! I will admit that you are the eldest living crystal that has found us and written so far.   

I honor your desire not to speak of your experience, but I also honor the work that you have done while being here.  Today we bow to you in gratitude and admiration.

Take good care and God bless,

Sharyl

Hi Sharyl:

I just found this website a couple nights ago and signed up to get the newsletter. I am SO HAPPY there is information out there to feel connected with even one other person. I am 45. My daughter is 16, my son is 13. I am divorced, twice. Our lives have not been easy, yet this year. BOTH of the children have come to me about feeling different. I have gone back and re-read your initial article. THANK YOU!!! As one of the pioneers I have led a very lonely life feeling so different and so isolated, yet at the same time having lots of friends. It was not the fact that I was ALONE but LONELY. The attributes you described are right on. My daughter said the other day, that they have no father because it was SUPPOSED to be just the three of us, we all incarnated together to form this little team of lightworkers, and I must say she is very wise. The stories I could tell! Just wanted to drop you a line and say thank you, and what a comfort it is to know that outside of our family of 3, there are other families like us.

Namaste,
Cathy

Dear Cathy:

Oh, what a joy to receive a letter like this! You have done a good job, Mom!  Yup, we are out here, hanging in and doing what we naturally do.  If you ever feel the urge (in all your spare time-teehee) we invite you to tell some of your stories.  People love to read them, you know.  Something happens which creates a lovely bond.  God bless and thanks for being here and being in your "sweet spot"! 

Sharyl

And Cathy continues:

Gosh, thanks for responding and SO FAST! I have been very careful to never interfere with my children as far as their own growth and my beliefs on why I lived my life feeling different. Both of the children came to me separately this past year, unbeknownst to each other. What a joy to realize that we are the same! There are nights where we sit around and talk about our interactions with people during the day, and vent our frustrations to each other. It’s really neat. Both of my children are such natural counselors, and it has been quite funny, and sometimes scary, the problems that their peers will discuss with them. This week my 13-year-old son was at a neighbor’s house counseling the dad and son because the wife has left them. He casually walked into the kitchen to get a drink, and said so matter of fact that he was needed at Mason’s house so he could counsel them. It was hilarious to me (and wonderful too) to watch my children grow into their gifts and accept them so matter-of-factly. The one time that I was uncomfortable was when my daughter was 13, and a mom and dad drove their son to our house at 11:30 PM so their son, who was suicidal, could connect and talk to my daughter. She handled it beautifully though, and he is now ok. You are right, we do not seek recognition, and in fact are a little uncomfortable with it. This is something I am currently working on because I know that what I am doing quietly away from this corporate job (I am now making and selling flower remedies) is important to get to as many people as possible, but I shy away from doing this on a grand scale. One day at a time, right? I too work with St. Germaine and was told that I am one of the quiet ones that need to come forth… thank you so much for already doing this! Create a lovely day for yourself! I will write more when I can do so at home in quiet.

In Light Service,
Cathy

The following letter is for adult Indigos who are themselves now having children. Mindy wants to talk to you, and I must say, I can’t wait to see what she learns. Enjoy!

Sharyl

My name is Mindy. I am 26 years old and working on a Master's degree in Humanistic and Transpersonal Psychology.  I am an Indigo.  I've known all of my life that I was quite different from the other children in the small town in which I was raised.  I was raised (with my younger sister) by my mother, grandmother, great aunt, and great-grandparents.  I always excelled in academics, but rarely "fit in" socially because I didn't care to converse with the other kids on their level.  I've usually resonated with people much older.  As a young teen I got interested in studying Edgar Cayce, and anything about esoteric studies, as well as research on "psychic abilities." 

I was also interested in astronomy, and thought I might want to be an astronaut.  Well, rather than studying and exploring the outer cosmos, I have dedicated my academic life to the inner cosmos, that is until recently.  I have become interested in the ancient civilizations of Lemuria and Atlantis and have followed some of the recent research about the genetic evidence of Atlantean/Lemurian DNA in different parts of the world, as well as possible "star people" ancestors.  As a result of my eclectic study styles, I kept finding a cord of congruence that led me to Twyman's information on the Indigos in Bulgaria.  I was astounded when I read site after site about the Indigo or Crystalline children.  My sister and I had been doing a lot of similar activities since I can remember, but it was sort of conditioned out of us.  We were taught not to do or talk about certain things outside out home. I have been studying evolution of consciousness in Psy for some time and this initially led me to the Indigos, which served to validate thoughts and experiences I've had all along.  I can't believe I hadn't paid as much attention to this stuff before.

Anyway, the reason I am writing such a long email is to inform you that some of us indigo forerunners are now having children.  I'd like some helpful information.  My sister and I both have a child. She has an 18 month old who is extremely intuitive and frustrated.  My niece communicates with me often more easily than with my sister.  (I guess because I've done more research, studied Psy, and have a more in-depth understanding).  I have a baby who is almost 6 months old.  I knew before he was conceived that he was coming.  I had an experience of visitation that I can go into at some other time. It was quite obvious I was about to conceive and that I would have a "special" child, a boy.  His name is Ashton.  There were 18 people present at his birth, and he came out of my womb looking around for me with bright eyes. 

Now he shows high levels of development, mentally and physically. Also he shows better than normal emotional development.  He wakes me up every morning before he actually, physically wakes up.  Either he tells me in a dream, or I hear him call me.  And when I mention other children it's as if he were looking for them in the same room, and sometimes it's like his eyes fix on eyes that I can't see but feel.  I'm interested in talking with other Indigos who have children of their own.  I'd like to do in-depth study into the psychological lives of Indigo children and the children of Indigo children.  If you would, please respond to this email.  I'm really intrigued and excited about this and would love to learn more.  Thanks.
