A dramatic account of the deadly avalanche on Everest—and a return to reach the summit. On April 25, 2015, Jim Davidson was climbing Mount Everest when a 7.8-magnitude earthquake released avalanches all around him and his team, destroying their only escape route and trapping them at nearly 20,000 feet.

The human body, which encompasses the Indigo Soul, in essence, radiates energy at a higher level than that of their counterparts. Many writings have described the characteristics (or behaviors) of Indigo and suggest ideas of how we can support them in school and at home. All valid! Most Indigo have difficulty conforming to society standards, when it was the non-Indigo population who made the rules in the first place. In the mind of the Indigo, the rules, technically, do not apply to them. Indigo think, Why bother with the restrictions or expectations attempted to be placed on me when the end result is not my normal but yours?

Allow them to step into purpose and bring balance to where we all live. Help make way for the Indigo Soul.
