Book Reviews of Spiritually Healing the Indigo Children (and Adult Indigos, Too!): The Practical Guide and Handbook
Book Review: But honour individuality too
Summary: 4 Stars
The author of this book, Rabbi Dosick, collaborating with his wife, an experienced psychotherapist, shows great compassion for metagifted children, and obviously draws on the rich heritage of his faith to create rituals for their spiritual healing. Families who have long been familiar with - and participated in - the ceremonial aspects of formal religion (even if other than Jewish) may feel quite comfortable with proscribed rituals like these. (You are told the exact movements and wording to use.)
However, families whose beliefs fall outside of the scope of organised religion may want more latitude in expressing their personal values, as well as giving their children more choice. Such parents may prefer the books of Maureen Gath or Connie Bowen, for example, or may want to develop their own ideas with input from their child - even to change the healing context altogether.
The important point is that empowerment for each child occurs in a highly individual way; it may or may not be through some form of formulaic expression. Having worked with many similarly gifted children, including my own, I have seen about as many variations as there were children! This, in my view, is part of what makes them "Indigo" and as such needs to be respected.
It must be emphasised that this book is not a parenting manual and isn't intended to be: If you want one you will need to look elsewhere. In rearing such a child (or in "re-parenting" the Indigo child in yourself as an adult) it is vital to cover every aspect of life using a holistic approach. For this reason I would also recommend authors like Michael Mikalko ("Cracking Creativity") Roger von Oech ("A Whack on the Side of the Head") , Tony Buzan ("Mind Mapping") Mari Messer ("Pencil Dancing") Jonathan Mooney and David Cole ("Learning Outside the Lines") and Jeffrey Freed and Laurie Parsons ("Right-brained Children in a Left-brained World.") I also found Ostrander and Schroeder's "Superlearning 2000" invaluable. Wendy Chapman's website for the multi-talented is one of the best on the subject of Indigos, adults as well as children. (As with the title, any reference in the Dosicks' book to adults is afterthought.)
Even though I would not wish to apply this book to the letter, I did find it greatly stimulated my own ideas. However, I did have a reservation: I cannot accept the authors' historical interpretations, particularly regarding the advent of "Indigo" children as being only recent (Rabbi, your Hebrew prophet, Samuel, may well have been just such a child!) Maybe we are simply recognising them more. Neither can I accept the origins of Indigo chldren as so authoritatively given - which is that they are Vietnam veterans reincarnated.
And one last note of caution: Let's not create spiritual elitism in these children. All children are special in some way. In fact, I have had some major soul-lessons from those whom society unthinkingly refers to as handicapped.
Summary of Spiritually Healing the Indigo Children (and Adult Indigos, Too!): The Practical Guide and Handbook
Indigo Children can be recognized by their high intelligence, intuitiveness, creativity, and energy. They are also can have trouble "fitting in," can be depressed, and in deep emotional pain. Contemporary society has made numerous attempts to help them heal. After-school programs, counseling, medication?all can be good and valid?but their cognitive approach has not addressed the spiritual wounds that cause many Indigo Children to feel out of place in this world.SPIRITUALLY HEALING THE INDIGO CHILDREN (AND ADULT INDIGOS, TOO!) is the first book to provide a therapeutic process, sourced in the world of Spirit, that celebrates these children?s inherent knowing; brings life-changing transformation to their attitudes and behaviors; and affirms their soul-vision of a perfect world. Parents and children play games that take the shape of sacred ritual, to bridge the gap between how they intuitively perceive the world, and the experience of the pain and unjustness surrounding them. This healing process will soften, and hopefully remove, the pain and discomfort Indigos feel in being who they are, and give allow them the space to come into the fullness of their purpose.
