Lesson 5: Purple
The color of leadership and destiny Welcome to week five! Last week we focused on creative expression with Emerald Green. This week we focus our attention at the bottom of the throat/top of the chest, and focus on the radiant Purple light. Purple light tends to be an easy color for most people to incorporate. It is seen around heads of state, CEOs of a company or anyone in a leadership position. Purple is the color of the divine plan. It helps us to return to our path and feel connected to the blueprint of our lives. Purple invokes the leader in all of us and teaches us the simple technique of delegating tasks to others. If you struggle to feel like you are the leader in your own life, Purple will be an especially powerful color to utilize. This is a great week to host a gathering of friends, or initiate any kind of social plans that you organize. Goals: Your goal this week is to find the natural born leader inside of yourself. If you tend to give your power away to your job, spouse, family, friends or anything else, let the Purple light help you find your strength. • This is a week to assess how well you are doing with achieving your goals. While you do this, check in with yourself and make sure that these goals are your own, and are not just the expectations of other people in your life. The Purple light helps us connect with our divine plan -- to see our path in life and hold our heads high while we walk our truth. • This week, try to focus on making bold moves in your life. When the Purple light is activated we are fearless and effective leaders.
• If you are not a natural decision-maker, use Purple this week whenever you are presented with any choice. This can be used for anything; what you eat for dinner, what you will wear today, or even choosing a movie to watch. The idea is to imagine these choices in the Purple light, to help you get comfortable with making decisions. Practical Application: • This week our goal is to manifest the leader within ourselves. Try to make conscious choices as much as possible this week. We are strengthening our leadership muscles by using them in every area, no matter how minor. o If you like to cook, decide what meals you would like to have and make a list before grocery shopping. Go to the supermarket with your list and stick to it; don’t just wander around. § If you normally eat out, decide which cuisine you would like and the dish you want before you get there. • If friends want to spend time with you this week, try making the decision of what you will do. Invite them along to whatever activity you pick, but do not change your plan. You are strengthening your inner leader here, and this is an easy way to hone your decisiveness. • This week is about personal power. When working with Purple, it is the time to launch new thoughts. o Form a book-reading group with friends o Start any kind of business o Initiate a pot-luck cooking club Remember that a leader doesn’t wait – a leader leads. • Ask yourself; what have I been hesitating about? Pick one of those and make a bold move! Purple is a color that is I tend to see reflected in people’s clothing. In Medieval times it was reserved for Royalty only. I like to wear purple to special events. I may use purple as an accent in a tie for a business meeting. If I am traveling with a group that I am leading, I will wear a purple shirt to remind myself of being a balanced leader.
For those of you that have trouble ‘seeing’ color, the feeling that Purple invokes is strength. Your head is held high, your shoulders are tall and you walk with gentle grace. What To Expect? While working with Purple, you will notice people asking for your opinion and guidance. When the Purple light is activated it draws attention to you. If you are self-employed, you will see a boost in business. This week you might hear from old friends or family members you haven’t spoken to in years. The Purple light is almost like a lighthouse – it draws people to you. Simply put, Purple light is a very accessible color. If you have been emotional in the last few weeks this week you will feel strong, confident and powerful! Inspirational Images:
