The Rainbow Children"
Excerpted from the book, Angel Medicine
by Doreen Virtue, Ph.D. (Hay House, updated edition, September, 2004)

There s a new generation of psychic and sensitive children who are just beginning to come to earth. They re called, The Rainbow Children.

The Rainbow generation is here to bring us, rainbow healing energy, as this article explains. It begins with light. Sunlight is an important catalyst for production of the brain chemical, serotonin. Serotonin is a chemical involved in the brain s electrical transmissions that regulates mood, appetite, and energy levels.

Every night as we sleep, our brains create a supply of serotonin to use for the following day, since the chemical can t be stored. If we make enough serotonin during the night, we awaken refreshed and energized. But with too little serotonin, we feel hung-over and irritable. Low serotonin levels are also correlated with premenstrual syndrome, bed-wetting, mood swings, carbohydrate cravings, and depression.

Staying indoors too much, not exercising, and drinking alcohol or other sedatives at night can all interfere with serotonin production. With an unhealthful lifestyle, we wake up listless and often turn to caffeine and sugar to get going in the morning. Then, after using artificial stimulants all day for energy, we may use drugs or alcohol to fall asleep at night. This vicious cycle of chemical dependency is all-too-common.

Many people don t realize that the cycle can trigger depression and anxiety. So, they take psychoactive drugs which treat depression and anxiety by increasing serotonin levels. Millions of adults and children take drugs like Ritalyn and Prozac, when they could use natural means to achieve even better results without side-effects.

Getting enough sunlight and exercise is one way to insure that your brain creates sufficient serotonin. That s because sunlight converts from melatonin in the skin, into serotonin in the brain.

My guides called, The Angels of Atlantis said to me about this: Many people turn a deaf ear to their angels guidance, because they believe the angels are trying to control them or ruin their fun. They don t want to hear the angels advice about improving their diet or taking better care of their bodies.

Yet, the guardian angels give guidance that will increase the flow and regulation of your serotonin. When they ask you to eat healthful foods, to connect with nature, and to exercise, these are ways to naturally improve your mood and energy levels.

Then the Angels of Atlantis talked to me about rainbow energy. They said, The bands of natural sunlight are composed of the colors red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet the colors of the rainbow. You ve seen these colors in prisms through water droplets and clear quartz crystals. Rainbows are associated with smiles and happiness, because the human body was designed to absorb and assimilate rainbow energy through sunlight. You each have a rainbow inside of you, which you call your chakras. The chakras are your natural connection to the Divine light, and to the physical sunlight. With sufficient sunlight and rainbow absorption, you feel naturally happy and alive.

Yet, when the air became dirty with pollution and humans began spending more time indoors, their absorption of the rainbow energy was diminished. This led to human aggression and suffering. Instead of recognizing the simple solution (going outside), humans tried to find happiness through increasingly artificial means.

Part of our answer to your prayers for happiness was in new ways that we sent you the rainbow energy that you need and crave so much. We first asked the dolphins to swim closer to your shorelines and to play and swim with you more often. Dolphins emit rainbow energy, much like humans once did. That s because dolphins are in the sunlight regularly, unfiltered by city pollution, and they exercise continuously. These two components give dolphins the joyful disposition that you always notice.

The second answer that we gave to you was through the attention we called to energy healing. The rainbow energy is concentrated in Reiki, Chi Gong, Pranic, and the other names given to channeling rainbow energy through your hands and hearts. The crystals also give you rainbow prisms by focusing and directing light into the colored bands. Their words reminded me of the Atlantian healing temple s pyramid of light. We priestesses directed the colors from the pyramid s rainbow prism into our patients chakras. Clearly, the healing power of rainbow light was powerful.

The angels continued. Now, we re bringing the rainbow energy indoors to reach more of you, through the birth of the new Rainbow Children. Many of you have intuited the birth of these new children, who are just now arriving upon earth.

The angels explained that the Rainbow Children were the generation after the Crystal Children. Rainbows are highly sensitive, loving, forgiving, and magical like the Crystal Children. The difference is that the Rainbows have never before been on earth, so they have no karma to balance. The Rainbows, therefore, choose entirely peaceful and functional households. They don t need chaos or challenges to balance karma or grow.

For this reason, the Rainbow Children are being born to the older Crystal Children (the scouts who initially came to earth in the 1980's). As the other Crystal Children grow older, they will be the peace-loving parents who birth the new Rainbow Children. The Rainbows being born right now are the Scouts, and the large influx of Rainbows will occur during the years 2010 through 2030. This follows the 20-year pattern we ve previously seen with the Indigos being largely born during 1970 through 1990, followed by the Crystal Children in 1990 through 2010.

Rainbow Children are absolutely open-hearted and unconditionally loving. Unlike the Crystal Children who only display affection to people warranting their trust, the Rainbows are universally affectionate. They heal us with their huge heart chakras, and envelope us in a blanket of rainbow-colored energy that we so sorely need. They re literally angels upon the earth.

I ve personally only met two children who I know for certain are Rainbows. They both had a maturity well beyond their infant years. Both beings showed no sign of fear toward strangers (including closed-hearted strangers who Crystal Children are repelled by). Both Rainbows had a very centered-in-their-power energy. And both Rainbow Children were more interested in giving me energy treatments of a very high level variety, than they were in playing.

We re in an exciting time right now upon Earth, and heading toward an even more exciting time as the Crystals and Rainbows mature and populate the planet. We re heading toward a time of great peace, cooperation, and healing. We re heading toward a time when the earth is encircled by rainbows once again.

MerAngel Surveys
