I found this quite interesting. Also quite accurate from a personal perspective:
Quote
The Indigo to Crystal Transitional Crisis
by Celia Fenn
I have been asked by Archangel Michael to write this
article in order to help the many people who undergo
the experience of a rapid shift into multi-dimensional
awareness, or, the shift from the Indigo state to the
Crystal state of consciousness.
There are people who make the transition in a
relatively gentle way, but there are many who
experience a crisis when this happens. These are
usually the people who have chosen to open up to the
higher dimensions. This choice is not made logically
by the rational mind, but is rather a soul choice made
in response to the available transitional energies of
the Earth herself. So, sometimes a person is thrust
into psychological, emotional and bodily changes for
which they can find no logical explanation. This can
cause a crisis. My experience has been that orthodox
doctors and psychologists are of very little help as
they have no idea of what the person is experiencing.
When tests come back negative, the person is often
considered to be hysterical or ungrounded or even schizophrenic.
This transition often happens to people who have been
on spiritual paths and are better equipped to handle
the shifts. But, my experience is also that Indigo
Children, no matter what their state of spiritual
awareness, are particularly vulnerable to the
spontaneous experience of transition or breakthrough to
the awareness of higher dimensions. I must also add
that the use of any kinds of drugs, fairly common
among Indigo adolescents, quite often precipitates
this transitional crisis before the person is really
ready to deal with the effects.
Below are a list of the symptoms experienced in the
process of crisis or breakthrough:
a.. Sudden extreme sensitivity to people and
environments. A person who has previously been
sociable and active suddenly finds they can't bear to
be in shopping malls or in crowded environments such
as restaurants.
b.. An increase in psychic ability and awareness.
This most often manifests in the ability to almost
"hear" the inner thoughts and feelings of others.
This can be disconcerting if the person imagines that
everyone else can also read their thoughts and
feelings. Also an extreme sensitivity to negative
energy in certain environments or people, including
the inability to tolerate certain people who had
previously been close.
c.. This increased sensitivity can lead to panic
attacks or anxiety attacks. These can occur at any
time, even when the person wakes up at night. Often
there is no valid reason for the attack, although the
person will often seek to find a reason.
d.. The person might also find themselves "zoning
out" for long periods of time, just wanting to sit and
do nothing. This can be irritating to someone who has
previously been very energetic and active. This is
just the consciousness adjusting to spending more time
in the higher dimensions and less time in the 3rd and
4th dimensions. Related to this is the need to rest
and sleep for far longer than previously, and a
general slowing down.
e.. Obsessive anxieties about humans being destroyed
(by pollution, lack of resources, aliens, technology
etc). This is because multi-dimensional consciousness
can access all levels of the group mind, including
that part which holds the fears and anxieties about
the survival of the species. Since the person is
often concerned about their own survival, they tend to
resonate with this part of the group mind or
morphogenetic field.
f.. An obsessive need to understand what is
happening, leading to the mind becoming overactive and
the person fearing they are losing it or suffering
from "burn-out". Also a fear of going mad and being
unable to cope with everyday life in the future.
Again, psychologists and doctors seem able to offer
very little help.
g.. Depression for no reason, or related to the
crisis state. This is often just the consciousness
clearing out old layers of energy that need to be
released. It is not necessary to "process" or relive
the experience, just allow the body to release the
energy. Have patience with the process and know that
it will pass.
h.. Disrupted sleep patterns, often waking up to 3
times a night, or just at about 3am.
Again this is just the consciousness adapting to new
cycles of activity. Higher consciousness is often
more active at night since the lower dimensions are
quiet at this time.
i.. Feeling strange electrical energy waves through
the body. The Crystal body is incredibly sensitive,
and feels solar and lunar waves, cosmic waves, and
energies from the galactic centre. Often these
energies are assisting in the process of "rewiring"
the body to carry higher energies. Speaking from
experience, I know how uncomfortable this can be. But
the body eventually acclimates to dealing with these
energy waves. You will probably find them to be more
intense around Full Moon. The best way I have found
of dealing with this phenomenon is to go outside and
stand barefoot on the ground and imagine the energy
running through your body and into the earth.
j.. A whole range of physical sensations and
experiences, usually related to detoxification. The
Crystal body holds no toxins, but allows everything to
pass through it. In fact the eventual trick to being
Crystal is just to allow everything to pass through
and hold onto nothing. The ultimate state of
detachment. But at this stage the body needs to
release years of "toxic" waste, whether physical,
emotional or mental The release is always through the
physical body, which presents symptoms such as intense
fatigue, muscle and joint pains especially in the hips
and knees, headaches, especially at the base of the
skull, and neck and shoulder pains.
k.. Dizziness and "spaciness". This is because you
are in "higher" states of consciousness. You need to
get used to being at these levels and staying grounded
at the same time. These sensations tend to increase
with solar flares and full moons as well.
l.. Increased appetite and putting on weight. This
is because the body needs huge amounts of energy to
power this process.
m.. The ability to see beyond the veils. That is, to
become aware of spirits, devas, E.Ts and angels as a
reality and to communicate with these. This can be
very frightening if the person is not accustomed to
this kind of other dimensional awareness.
Coping Skills for the Transition: The best advice I can
give is to be accepting of the process and do not
resist. My own transition has been going on for
nearly 18 months. I found that the key was
acceptance. I kept hoping that I was going to wake up
one day and feel "normal" again. It was only when I
accepted that I would never again feel "normal" as I
knew it, that I was better able to feel more
comfortable in my new space and to cope better. Then
you can begin to explore the adventure or the positive
side of this new state.
Below are some tips for dealing with the transitional crisis:
a.. Be at peace with what is happening to your being.
You are becoming a Crystal being. Another term for
this is a "Christed being", which refers to a
mutli-dimensional being with full access to 9
dimensions, and maybe even 13. My experience at this
point is that some people only open to 5D, others go
through to 6D. If you make it through to
6D then you will probably achieve full 9D awareness in
this lifetime, if not in the very near future. What a
privilege and a blessing!!
b.. Be kind to yourself and nurture yourself.
Remember, as a Crystal being you carry an equal
balance of the "mother" energy and the "father"
energy. The mother says, nurture yourself as you
would a new-born baby, for in fact that is what you
are. You will need time to grow in strength and learn
the skills of your new environment. Trust is very
important here. I made the transition as a single
self-supporting person in my own business with very
little resources. I was terrified that my physical
state would prevent me from earning enough to survive.
But I was held though the process, and still have my
home and I have always had enough although there have
been some close calls.
c.. Don't take drugs of any kind if you can help
it. Obviously if you are on medication for your
health then you will need to continue. But do not
take recreational drugs of any kind, these will
aggravate the process and you could get lost "out
there" in the higher dimensions. Also try to cope
without anti-depressants or tranquilizers, although
again if you are on these you will need medical advice
and should not just stop them. The best path to take
is to use homeopathic and naturopathic medicine, and I
have found that Flower Essences are very helpful as well.
d.. Avoid crowds and crowded places. I have
perfected the art of the weekly one hour shopping
"blitz" in order to care for my needs while not
spending too long in tiring and toxic environments.
Gradually you will be able to tolerate more and more
exposure to these environments. The key here, of
course, is to hold your own peace and harmony so
strongly that instead of you being affected by the
environment, you in fact affect the environment in
positive ways. The Crystal person always holds and
carries positive energy, but you will learn to use it
in incredibly powerful ways once you have gained your
balance and are able to move among people again with ease.
e.. Stay grounded and centered. This can be very
challenging for those who are acclimating to higher
dimensional awareness. You will often feel dizzy and
spaced. But try to pay full attention to the physical
and grounded aspects of life. The key here is to
spend time on exercise, walking, food and artistic
occupations. Don't spend hours in front of the TV or
lost in computer games. These will only serve to
increase the ungrounded ness.
f.. Spend as much time as you can in Nature. You
will find spending time in fresh air and sunlight will
assist to strengthen the new bodies. Also the devas
are there to support your processes.
g.. Eat simply and eat as much fresh vegetables and
fruit as possible. I have been told by guidance that
brown rice and vegetables are the best kind of food
for this new body.
However, indulge your cravings - mine have ranged from
calamari to chocolate cake.
This is not the time to diet. Your body needs huge
amounts of nourishment to fuel the processes you are
passing though. You may even put on weight, but you
will need to accept that this is part of the transition.
h.. Finally - Celebrate your transition. You are
becoming a Galactic human, the next step in human
evolution! You are entering into your birthright.
