MENTAL TORNADOES or MENTAL HURRICANES

In talking with a lot of Indigos and in reviewing the questionnaires to date (Aug 10, 04) I realized that I should explain what a Mental Tornado or Mental Hurricane is and why it happens, and of course, what you can do to deal with it or lessen its effects.

Definition: Usually when in a crowd or around more than 5 people, or in a new location, you might experience what the Medical Community calls Anxiety or Panic Attacks.

But, it goes much deeper than that, especially for an Indigo, or a sensitive person. These mental hurricanes seem to begin when an Indigo goes from the awakening stage to that of the first transition. I have found that there are 3 main stages to the budding Indigo's life:
1. Awakening
2. Transition 1
3. Transition from Indigo (soul development) to the Crystal stage of soul development.

For this purpose I am going to address the transition stage. This is when you not only know that you are different (awakening) but that you are really ready to find yourself and figure out why in the hell all this crap is happening to you. Excuse the terms but in all the conversations I've had with budding Indigos, my words are quite tame.

But you see, it's one thing to know that you are different, but it's yet another to suddenly be more purpose driven than ever before in your life. And the Transition stage can only happen after you've really given up on everything else and start calling out to the Higher Energies for help, and I mean real help!

Naturally, because you have called out, those energies around you can now finally respond and begin working with you and guiding you. And I call them energies only because if I use my regular words it might put some people off. I don't care right now if you call them angels, guides, spirits, teachers, whatever you like, use it. Later on in another level I will begin to get more specific with the proper terms, but until then, all that matters is that you understand these mental storms. Back to the energies that help you.

When you ask for help, it is always provided, but sometimes in ways that we are not aware of. In this case, those higher energies begin to rally around you to teach you, usually in your sleep or dream state, so you usually are not aware of it. But it literally opens your mind to the higher teachings or energies and you are no longer paying as much attention to 'self' as you should be or have been accustomed to, and you will not realize it until you are in a crowd, like going shopping.

It can be a bit disconcerting to feel like you or your mind is suddenly overwhelmed and it almost feels like you are experiencing or watching a tornado. It can be downright disastrous when you really lose it and can't even 'think' your way through the steps of turning around and leaving the store. Quite literally these effects can be as gentle as a grumbling stomach, to outright nausea, diarrhea, vomiting or passing out. If you don't get yourself squared away by shielding yourself, it can even lead to simple to severe health problems.

It's all caused by the fact that you have had your 'awareness' opened to levels you have never been before, and believe it or not, you are literally picking up on the people's energy surrounding you. And everyone has energy, from the worst to the best, the lowest to the highest, from love to hate, and so on, but now you are becoming a perfect receiver and are subject to all of it.

The Answer: First of all, you should take time to understand what is happening to you and allow yourself to stay out of crowds, or arrange your shopping trips to the time of evening or early morning when the energy of the planet is more calm; or if your life style permits, allow yourself to become a recluse for awhile. If you fight it, the transition process will drag on and on, even causing you to seek medications/sedation. But if you understand what is happening and take the time needed to allow it, well, it will be a near painless transition and will be over much sooner.

Second: This is the time to really start working on yourself and how you relate to the world. This shift or transition is not happening to make you feel aloft or separate from the world around you, it is enabling you to become so much more tuned into it. But, you HAVE to use your own powers of mental energy to shut the doors (shield yourself) when around groups of people, or whatever it is that triggers you.

This can be done easily. Before you go wherever it is that triggers you, tell yourself that you know what is going on, and concentrating on pulling your own energy in closer to you to protect yourself. Use it as a shield. And be aware of what you are doing all the time. If you get too sidetracked the tornado/hurricane will sneak up on you again, so just shield yourself with your energy again.

Believe me, if you don't know how to shield yourself, then you are not yet going through a transition. So think very hard about what is happening to you. There's only one way things happen to us in the awakening/transition process, meaning things will not happen to us unless we are at a certain stage of development.

Remember, all your life you have known you were different, and probably all your life you've known that you were here to do something important or helpful. Doesn't it stand to reason that it's time to acknowledge it and tell yourself, "Ok, this is it. This is the first step of why I came here."

Not everyone will experience these mental tornadoes or hurricanes, thank heavens, because they can make you think and feel that you have lost your mind. You don't understand them and your friends and family don't understand your behaviour either. So allow the changes in you.

Lastly, if you have or know of an Indigo child, it's very important that you / the parents know that sometimes what your child is going through is not their fault. Usually, it's just that they are responding to a myriad of energies around them that they don't understand, and with their childish coping skills they get just as nuts as the energy around them. Teach them how to shield. Look at our Links page for connections to sites that deal more with Indigo children. (Starchild and Metagifted for example)
