We Are the Adults of the New Era

Indigo, Crystal, Rainbow — and The Spiritual Calling That is Awakening Now

Have you always felt different? Deeper, more sensitive, intuitive… as if there’s something inside you that doesn’t quite fit the mold of the world? Maybe you grew up wondering why you seemed to sense things others didn’t, or why you felt so much — even when there was no clear reason.

If this resonates with you, you might be one of the “new era children” now grown into adulthood.

Yes, the Indigo, Crystal, and Rainbow children have grown up.

And many are awakening — often in the midst of emotional turmoil, spiritual restlessness, or a powerful inner knowing that “there’s something more.”

But what are these New Era souls?

The term “new era children” emerged to describe souls who came into the world with a different spiritual and energetic frequency. Sensitive, intuitive, often gifted — they were born to assist in the planetary transition, opening new paths of awareness, connection, and love.

And no — they didn’t all arrive after the year 2000.

Many came earlier, in the 70s, 80s, and 90s — and are only now, as adults, starting to remember who they really are.

Indigo: Disruptive, bold, and justice-driven. They came to break down old systems and prepare the way.
Crystal: Loving, empathic, and deeply connected to energy and healing. They vibrate with heart-centered consciousness.
Rainbow: The most recent wave — but already appearing in adults. They bring joy, lightness, and high-frequency presence.

You might resonate with more than one of these.

What matters isn’t the label — it’s the calling your soul feels right now.

What does it feel like to be an adult of the new era?

Deeply sensitive, yet highly analytical
Spiritually gifted, even without formal training
Easily connected to the subtle, the unseen
Uncomfortable in rigid systems — like certain jobs or social structures
Craving purpose, truth, and freedom
Often torn between “going with the flow” and “meeting expectations”

Many don’t yet know how to live their truth — but they know they can’t keep ignoring it.

You’re not alone. There are many of us. And we are awakening — together.

What was once labeled “too sensitive” can now be seen for what it truly is: intuition, empathy, healing ability, energetic awareness, spiritual connection.

This is part of a new consciousness we’re stepping into.

You are part of the change. You’re here to remember, not to conform.

Your energy is needed — for yourself, for the world, for the collective.

And maybe… your child is one of them too.

Many new era adults, upon starting their own spiritual awakening, begin to notice similar traits in their children: highly sensitive, intuitive, perceptive — attuned to emotions, energy, and the environment in profound ways. Often, these kids don’t fit traditional molds.

They might be described as Crystal or Rainbow children — or even recognized as Highly Sensitive People (HSPs), a scientifically studied trait indicating a more responsive and finely tuned nervous system.

These children feel everything more intensely — love, beauty, pain, chaos.They can be deeply creative, affectionate, and wise — but also more prone to emotional and sensory overwhelm.

Recognizing these traits in yourself or your children isn’t about adding another label — it’s about creating a space of understanding and support. So that this sensitivity becomes a source of power, not suffering. A light, not a burden.

If something stirred in you while reading this… the remembering has already begun.

And remembering is the first step to living your truth.

You don’t need all the answers right away — just presence, courage, and a little faith in what your heart already knows.

Welcome. You are an adult of the New Era.

And your time has come.
