Clearing Your Path with Yellow & Purple

Are you feeling unclear in these times of chaos, untruths, and misleading information? For some, this can feel like layers of fog you are walking through. It also reminds me of being on my grandparents’ farm after it rained. Walking through the thick mud in my boots, I had to be careful that the mud didn’t suck the boot right off my foot as I tried to take a step. And if that happened, there was a muddy mess to clear up!

Today, I hope to help you clear up some of that murkiness.

When you feel unclear, it is your energy that is murky. In other words, reading the energy, knowing the truth of what is coming at you is critical. Coming into energy that is clear and aligned to what you know is true requires that we step away from old ways of thinking and gathering information.

How do we do that? Let’s discover how the colors Yellow and Purple can help us.

These colors complement each other. They are colors in our bodies and energy fields. You may have heard them referred to as chakras. Here we will refer to them as Color Energy Centers, differentiating them from chakras because at Transformational Tools, we work with 6 centers instead of the traditional 7 chakras (wheels of light).

Yellow and Purple can work together to clear up the murkiness. First, let’s learn more about these colors.

The Importance of Yellow

Let’s start with YELLOW.

The Yellow Color Energy Center is the Solar Plexus. It exists in the body from the waist to the bottom of the rib cage. It can also be seen in the energy around the body.

Some time ago, I had a camera that could take a picture of the colors in the body and energy field. When the color was bright and clear, the person felt that way. When the color was dull and murky, that mirrored how that person felt (usually depressed, unclear and frustrated).

Yellow was an important indicator of how the person felt. Here’s why:

Yellow in the Solar Plexus indicates how you see yourself in this human life and how you think others see you. In most cases, we have a lot of judgment about ourselves so the picture we see and what we think others see is often not flattering.

When you feel this, even without a camera to show it, you may be smiling on the outside, but the energy you radiate will tell a different story. Then, you may feel like an imposter,  as if you are showing the world a picture of you that isn’t true. That adds on another layer of distrust of yourself. That’s a sad place to live!

The Importance of Purple

Now, let’s explore what Purple shows us.

Purple in the head, down through the upper jaw and around to the base of the skull in back, is a center of your intuition, that natural knowing that can bubble up with important information. Unfortunately, it is often drowned out by what we think, not what we know.

Have you ever thought or said, “I should have listened to myself.  I knew this wasn’t a good idea or I knew this person wasn’t telling me the truth!”

This can happen when the mind takes over. It may have layers and layers of beliefs, thoughts, parent messages, and more that aren’t your truth, but you have taken them on as if they were.

One stumbling block I found in me and many others is “Don’t hurt anyone’s feelings.” That’s a sure way to get sidetracked into saying things and acting in ways that aren’t true to what you know. I’m not advocating being blunt and cruel. I’m talking about telling yourself the truth that comes from your intuition. How you choose to act from that information depends on the circumstance, but at least you aren’t victimized by a message that keeps you separate from your inner knowing.

Clearing Up Murkiness

There are several ways I suggest you can begin the task of clearing up murkiness usingYellow and Purple.

Ask yourself questions

Yellow: you hear yourself saying that you mess up all the time!

• Describe an instance when you messed up
  • What part did you play?
  • Is there a better way to respond to a similar situation that might come up?
• Describe an instance in which you handled a difficult situation in a helpful way
  • Can you still say you mess up all the time?

Purple: you don’t feel you can trust what your intuition brings you because you are not sure it is coming from your inner knowing.

• If you were an outside observer, would this intuition feel true to you?
• What does your heart say about this information?
• If this information came from a trusted friend, would you believe it or question it?

Clear the energy of each of the Color Centers first

If you feel unsure, your energy is probably murky or clouded. Before you can reach that inner voice of your truth, the energy must be bright and clear.

Complementary colors, like yellow and purple, can help you clear the energy. We show you these tools as part of Color Course 101. Here is a taste of how energy can be cleared in Yellow and Purple:

1. Focus on the Yellow Center in the solar plexus (from the waist to the bottom of the rib cage).
2. Here’s a breathing exercise to use that balances the energies in this center. This can dissolve some cloudiness and bring in greater clarity by transforming the energy into a brighter yellow.

Bring Purple from the head down into the Yellow Center.

Create a relationship with Purple. See it with inner eyes as the purple in a queen’s robe, a purple scarf, or a purple grape. Say hello to Purple. “Hi Purple, I’m so glad you are here to help me clear up my Yellow Center.”

Listen for a response.

• Imagine you are breathing the colors Yellow & Purple in the following way in the Yellow Center:

• Breathe Purple into the Yellow Center

• Breathe out Yellow from that Center

• Breathe in Yellow—then breathe out Purple

• Breathe in Purple—then breathe out Yellow

• Breathe in Yellow==then breathe out Purple

• Continue alternating the colors until they are balanced and the energy feels clearer 

• Invite Purple to return to its center in the head

• Feel into your Yellow Center. Has some of the murkiness cleared?

Bring Yellow from the solar plexus into the Purple Center.

Create a relationship with Yellow. See it with inner eyes as the yellow in a sunflower, the sun, or a yellow flower. Say hello to Yellow. “Hi Yellow, I’m so glad you are here to help me clear up my Purple Center.”

Listen for a response.

• Imagine you are breathing the colors Purple & Yellow in the following way in the Purple Center:

• Breathe Yellow into the Purple Center (the head)

• Breathe out Purple from that center

• Breathe in Purpl—then breathe out Yellow

• Breathe in Yellow—then breathe out Purple

• Breathe in Purple—then breathe out Yellow

• Breathe in Yellow—then breathe out Purple

• Continue alternating the colors until the they are balanced and the energy feels clearer 

• Invite Yellow to return to its center in the solar plexus

• Feel into your Purple Center. Has some of the murkiness cleared?

How does breathing color in this way clear up the energy?

When you allow thoughts, mindsets, beliefs, and old emotional attachments to dominate a color center, those patterns can cover up your truth. Trying to talk yourself out of these old patterns doesn’t work. They are set in place and have probably been there for a long time.

Breathing the colors in the alternating pattern tends to break up the energy. Using complementary colors also balances the energy. This allows the energy in the center you focus on to synchronize with your natural, innate color pattern. This allows your inner truth to become clear.

It’s as if you see through new eyes. You no longer look through the filters of what you accepted from outside you. Now, you see deep into yourself. Because the energy of your colors is synchronized with your inner truth, you begin to trust the information that comes to you.

You are no longer moving through life in murkiness or a clouded field. This allows your yellow to shine like the sun and your purple to sparkle.
