Purple shares many of the same symbolic qualities as blue. Although there are many different beliefs concerning the color of each of the 7 chakras, I see the third eye chakra as blue or purple. However, purple differs from blue when it indicates the union with your higher self, your higher consciousness and with spirituality. It is the color that opens the consciousness and brings awareness of higher planes of existence and connects us with the energies of spirit and light.
The third eye is located in the same area as the pineal gland. The pineal gland is a small endocrine gland in the brain. It produces melatonin, a serotonin derived hormone, which affects the modulation of sleep patterns in both seasonal and circadian rhythms.
I believe that the real talent of a good psychic lies in their ability to control the sleep process. They are able to hold an alpha state that allows them to contact spirit. The 4 alpha states are part of the process of falling to sleep. So, the pineal gland that controls sleep is crucial in achieving and holding that state of consciousness for extended or for momentary amounts of time. When they accomplish this connection it is purple. I see the pineal gland in my mind’s eye as being purple.
Purple is also symbolic of intuition, clairvoyance, divination, spiritual protection, wisdom, idealism and psychic manifestation. It is a universal symbol for the royalty of the gods. It can often be found in the religious garments of priests and priestesses.
Purple is used in rituals to initiate psychic ability and create contact with spirit. Many times, psychics will wear purple for that very purpose.
Whenever I see purple in a psychic vision for a client during a psychic reading session I know that it means several things for me. It represents the connection with spirit during the reading, the presence of spirit during the reading or that someone will be going through a spiritual transformation.
Sometimes I see colors in layers. When I do I have to apply the meaning of each color as it relates to the color on the bottom layer. For example, I may see black over purple. The correct interpretation for that combination is that someone is acting unspiritually or is simply unspiritual.
Lastly, of the colors in the visible spectrum, purple is the one that vibrates at the highest frequency. It is this high frequency that gives it the ability to connect us with spirit. This is because spirit also vibrates at a high frequency.
Don’t miss the next two colors that I will be discussing in the next two posts as I continue with this series on color symbology. They are very important colors.
