Meaning of the color violet

In a few words, we can say that violet is the color of balance and spirituality. Besides stimulating calmness, which ensures balance, it also favors intuition, which connects us to that which can only be reached by listening to our inner self. Thus, it is an ideal color for those who are developing a process of self-knowledge.

Other powers that the color violet has are the incentive to transformation and the ruling of the seventh chakra, located in the top of the head, known as the Coronary. Notice how all the benefits of the color are related to each other! It is not possible to develop one's own self-knowledge without transforming oneself or finding a center of balance within oneself.

In order for you to absorb all the properties of the color violet, all you have to do is perform one of the practices we have separated below. Choose the one that best suits your lifestyle and what you want to achieve!

Meditation with the color violet

The simplest way to feel the power of violet is to meditate by thinking about it. To do this, sit in a comfortable position and close your eyes. Do this in a quiet environment without distractions, and imagine that a beam of violet light is streaming through your body, starting from the top of your head and filling your entire body.

At this moment, you should mentalize what you want to improve in your life. Do you want to investigate more about your inner self? Do you want to stimulate your spirituality? Do you need more calm when meditating? Do it and allow the color to act on you!

Color therapy is a form of treatment that has as its premise the use of the energy that each color emits to aid in the healing or evolution of a person. Since the color violet has as its principle the stimulation of calm and intuition, it should be used mainly for meditation.

In this case, lighting a violet light in the place where you meditate can be a way of silencing your being to hear more clearly what your inner self is trying to tell you, connecting you with your spirituality.

Another way to incorporate chromotherapy and the color violet into your daily life is solarized water. For this, you should use a violet glass bottle or a bottle wrapped in violet cellophane paper.

After separating the bottle, fill the container with mineral water and leave it in the strong closed sun for an hour or in the weak sun all day. By drinking the solarized water from the violet glass, you will be able to feel more tranquility, to rescue your beliefs, and to pay more attention to your process of self-discovery.
