The Magic of Purple Plates?!

I have been enjoying Michelle Karen’s new book, Astrology for Enlightenment, that I mentioned in my previous post on New Year’s Eve 2009 “NYE Alert! Lunar Eclipse of Mythical Proportions“. It contains a wealth of information and tools for thriving during these turbulent times. Being such a color lover, I immediately zeroed in on her suggested use of Purple Energy Plates (www.purpleplates.com).

These plates are said to emit positive energy and affect certain objects placed on them.

There are countless uses for the plates from placing drinking water on them that then gives you more energy, to placing food on them that the plate clears of negative residues such as pesticides! Dr. Joshua David Stone, author of “Beyond Ascension” refers to these Nikola Tesla-inspired wonders as “one of the most extraordinary tools to raise my energy”. Astrologist Linda Goodman also wrote about them in her book, “Star Signs” back in 1968! I read Goodman’s book back in the early seventies and sure don’t remember anything about purple plates, but after looking up the website and reading the article “The Magic of Tesla’s Purple Energy Plates“, I am ready to give it a try! I’ll keep you posted!

Here’s a copy and paste of uses listed in the article (which I found very interesting!):

There are many uses for the purple plates. Here are only a few suggestions.

1. Place a small sized plate in a pocket or purse for more energy. (No body contact is necessary.

2. Place large plate in refrigerator (center shelf is best.) Food, with the exception of fresh meat and fish, will stay fresh longer.

3. Place beneath sick house plants, or water sick plants with water which has been placed on plate overnight.

4. Place small plate in dog or cat bed, or under food dish.

5. To energize crystals, place on purple plate for 12 hours.

6. Use the plate on injured area of any living thing.

7. Travellers can carry a small plate to energize their drinking water and eliminate\ illness and stomach upsets.

8. Small plate placed on forehead to alleviate headache pain, on joints to alleviate gout and arthritis pain, on stomach to stop nausea.

9. Placed on forehead in the morning will help you to remember your dreams. Also place on forehead to promote deeper meditation.

There are also testimonials from plate users who claim they help with cramps, headaches, stomach upsets, stiff joints, torticollis, swelling, ringworm, “clicking” jaw, alcoholism, anxiety, colic and depression.

“Paints that Bring Emotion to Your Walls”!

What a nice surprise to see Jane Freiman’s email this morning with a link to her newly posted article on AOL Home (www.shelterpop.com), “Paints that Bring Emotion to Your Walls”. I have to say, this is the best article I have seen on Full Spectrum Paints! Had I not known about them, I sure would be dying to try them after reading Jane’s article that starts out “Wall color drama increases with designer paints that blush, turn pale or flash hints of envious green.”

Of course, besides Jane being such a great writer, she has been living with our “Luminaire” (yellow) and “Seaglass” (pale blue) colors for over a year. I didn’t realize she was a writer until she called to interview me for the article and mentioned how much she’s enjoying her colors. I love that she used Color Consultant Lori Sawaya’s “Gustavian Grey” photo that does an amazing job of showing how it can look on different walls within the same space. The wall on the left looks like a totally different color!

Gustavian Grey is on both walls. Is it green? blue?

I also loved the photo of C. J. Volk’s luscious color she calls “Soul Sister”! Isn’t it gorgeous?

Citron's "Soul Sister" color certainly fits its name.

I know I keep going on about “gratitude” (last post “The Power of  Gratitude!“), but once again I am so blessed to be included in such a nice article and I know it’s because I continue to take time out each day to reflect on all my many blessings!

To celebrate, we’re having a sale on our certified “green” (by the U.S. Bldg. Council) Lifemaster VOC-free scrubbable flat interior paint. $5.00 off per gallon during the entire month of  February, if you mention this blog post when you place your order.

The Power of Gratitude!

Back on September 1st, I wrote about Tom Kenyon in my post  ”The Powerful Heart“.  I included links to two channels about what he calls “chaotic nodes” and how they will result in energy changes that include “severe fluctuations in weather patterns affecting the availability of food and water, earth changes including volcanic and earthquake activity, financial instability, and political ineptitude in managing world events”.  Well, I recently received his most recent channel “Haiti and the Chaotic Node” where Tom reminds us that we will be experiencing even more volatility in weather patterns, as well as an increase in unpredictable earth changes and that the simple act of appreciation for what is in our lives will shift our vibratory field faster and more effectively than anything else.  He also offers (at no charge!) a very effective sound tool to help assist us during these upcoming turbulent events. It can be downloaded from his website: Dimensional Attunement for the Pineal Gland.  I was able to download it onto my iTunes so that I can play it on my iPod. It’s very soothing!

Now, I know this sounds like a lot of “woo woo” stuff to most people, but I have to tell you from personal experience, what we focus on, we really do create. I have been keeping a gratitude journal for years now and have no doubt that this is the reason I continue to live a life I love!  I also highly recommend his “Ecstasy of the Heart“  technique which is quite powerful. Intrigued? For more about Tom Kenyon, visit his website, www.tomkenyon.com. The channelled information can be found in the “Hathors” section.

Serendipity, Publicity & New Friends

I received the nicest email from Yelena Kublitski of HousePaintingTutorials.com, the first commenter on my “2010 Color of the Year” post which is now up to over 15,000 visitors since Christmas Eve! Who would have thought so many folks would be interested in color. Yelena emailed to ask if she could interview me for one of her website articles with paint color experts. If you haven’t visited her site, you should! It contains a wealth of knowledge on everything you could possibly want to know about painting projects.  As it turns out, Yelena and her husband also run  AK Painting, one of the most respected residential painting contracting companies in New Jersey. Do you know how hard it is to find a painter with both skill, talent and integrity? Let me tell you, it’s RARE! 

The article  is a Question & Answer format and contains lots of photos as examples of both color and holistic design: “Interview with Ellen Kennon – Creator of Full Spectrum Paints and Holistic Designer”. Yelena’s questions were so thorough, I’m thinking I should get her to write that requested book proposal I keep putting off! 

I love that Yelena included this photo from a home I decorated in Crested Butte via Remote Control!

(Remote control? Yes, the entire house was decorated (including designing a fireplace & window treatments) with photos and measurements supplied by the client! Everything worked out perfectly!)

 Boston area Color Consultant & Designer Barbara Jacobs of Integral Color has also been wonderful about mentioning our paints in her new blog as well as articles she is often asked to write for other publications. If you haven’t visited her website IntegralColor.com, be sure to follow her “Case Studies” section (also new!) where you will see an in-depth view of  featured project’s client requirements and goals, design approach, methods and solutions, results, and response, complete with photos!

True Blue

Lots of comments on my October 2nd “2010 Color of the Year” post from people who love the color blue.  Blue has been acknowledged as the most popular color for decades and there’s a reason for the phrase “true blue”.  Blue personality traits include being optimistic, empathetic, flexible, idealistic, tranquil, patient, devoted. Blues are  natural mothers and are often associated with Florence Nightingale. I say “blues” meaning people whose name carries the “blue vibration”. (To find out your personal color vibration, see the Color Numerology article in House Beautiful.)

The phrase “true blue” is also how I would describe my loyal and wonderful clients!  I discovered a thread on the GardenWeb forums “Comparison of Behr (Home Depot) and Ellen Kennon paint” and was thrilled to read such glowing testimonials (thank you,  thank you, thank you!) about our paints, as well as this “Lichen” bedroom, another example of our chameleon-like blues.

"Lichen" walls shift from blue, to green to gray

Blue is known for being calming, but I also love a vibrant cobalt blue. I created Mykonos Blue for artist Hunt Slonem’s exhibit at the Ogden Museum in New Orleans (photos of exhibit & CBS Sunday Morning segment on our “Photos & Reviews” page.However, it looks even better in a small sitting room at Lakeside Plantation:

"Mykonos Blue" both energizes and calms

“I am amazed how much more I like the EK paint. The EK paint has a luminous quality; it reminds me of pointillism artwork (where dots of many colors give an impression of an overall color)”

Thanks to wonderful clients like her, we have never advertised!
