Where did the term “Indigo Child” come from?

A teacher and Counsellor ‘Nancy Ann Tappe’ researched about the human auric field, which is also known as the electromagnetic field of humans. She identified that this field surrounds every living thing.

In her book “Understanding Your Life through Colour” Nancy was able to institute a shockingly accurate method to psychologically profile a person using her new auric colour method. What she noticed was that 80 percent of the children born after 1980 had a new deep blue coloured auric field which wasn’t common for the humans who were born earlier. She called this new colour “indigo”.
