Affects Purple has in our lives >>

PURPLE is the colour of CREATIVITY. The final purpose of RED and BLUE is UNIFICATION. Red wants to achieve oneness by action. BLUE wants to achieve oneness by surrender (letting go).

PURPLE is the combinations of the Male/Red and the Female/Blue which is the basis of creation. Depending on the amount of Red or Blue in Purple the need for Emotions/Blue or Action/Red is shown.

PURPLE is the colour of power and religion. The word religion comes from religerie... to join together. In the past only royalty or religions had the right to use PURPLE. Egyptians used PURPLE for burial services to protect from evil spirits. This was then taken by the Romans, firstly for long life and then came to represent the colour of death. The death penalty was used for any person other than Royalty who wore Purple.

PURPLE and VIOLET represent the Crown Chakra, at the top of the head. This is the area of our bodies which connects with spirit. This is the colour connected with our spirit entering (birth) our bodies, and our spirit leaving our bodies (death), therefore VIOLET is a good colour to have around a person who is about to depart this life and it is also a good colour for a pregnant woman to wear to help life enter.

PURPLE also represents the drive for enduring order... to bring order out of chaos. Teenagers often need PURPLE as a means of getting it 'all together' so do people who have gone through life shattering situations such as divorce. PURPLE is often needed by divorced women to feel that their lives are being put back together again.
