Chakras 10 Purple Toothpaste: If any of our readers are wondering where chakras 9 is or if we have missed something, we haven’t. Chakras 9 will not be published in this format. Everything we write about Chakras is to stop a person messing with things and to show that a lot of what we think is right may be the reasons why we have mental and spiritual chaos.
To this end, today’s article is another thinking piece and hopefully by the time this article has been read it may make a reader consider their practice. We will start with a warning; yoga is not to be messed with. It can create much disharmony and chaos within the mind of a practitioner.
For those who try and blend shamanic practices, so called plant medicines, or ceremonies with yoga, you are leading your students into danger. No different to those who teach the application of colour to chakras, especially children!
Why is purple toothpaste important for those on a yoga path to understand? If this is the first time reading one of our articles we suggest reading our series on chakras, especially rainbows and disinformation!
Why does a person use purple toothpaste?
Many people use purple toothpaste to give their teeth the appearance of being white. This is done by the purple neutralising the yellow tones. The teeth have not actually become any whiter or purer. For our regular readers this should be stirring the memory to what we have already written.
The purple toothpaste places a thin layer of pigment over the teeth this then gives only the appearance of being whiter or lighter. The appearance is external only and does not change the health of the teeth. Nothing is changed internally.
Why is this important to our chakras?

Is anyone reading between the lines yet?
In earlier articles we discussed vibrations of colour and how the human eye perceives and translates these invisible frequencies. Why does any of this matter, how does this effect our yoga practice. All that we write is from the perspective of the spirit within and when we learn from the spirit within, everything changes, our knowledge and understanding grows.
How we understand yoga will change.
We only have to look at our food history to find out things we thought were bad are good and things that we thought are good are bad! Let us begin.
As we have written many times before the approach from the East cannot be the approach from the West. Using an Eastern system will bring much mental instability for many, especially children.
Very simply, applying a believed colour to a chakra will cause interference.
The interference will be mental.
If we could turn on everyone’s “spirit vision” there are many, many more colours that we would see, just like the visible spectrum of light, only a portion is seen. However, if the so-called system is correct why is it opposite to the sequence of light?
We do have a good understanding of this which has to do with position, source and reflections. Very simply super imposing a colour over a chakra is not a good idea. As we explain in detail in earlier articles, if we are born in the West, there is a pretty good chance our spirits have already passed this important phase in spiritual development.
If we consider blue, indigo and violet, what happens when we blend colours, say red, orange and yellow? We are trying to use the physical mind to govern the spirit. This will only cause problems. We become and create the interference.
Think about traffic lights, how much chaos and confusion would we cause for ourselves and others if we superimposed colours over the sequence, nullified the colours or changed the colour completely.
The colours at source are still the same but we have changed how our colours are perceived by others. We would change the sequence and coordinating instructions but more importantly we have tried to control how the light enters and exits our bodies. In many cases we believe what we are taught is good for us without the correct spiritual understandings.
Messing with colours and chakras can lead to an internal car crash.
We would also like our readers to consider how light enters the spiritual bodies. The chakras are fully controlled by the spirit within. If we try to apply a colour to change the way light enters the body what could happen? The human mind does not know better than the spirit, however the Ego thinks it does. We only have to think of traffic lights once again with the car replaced with the human form.
Eastern philosophies do not work the same in the West
The energy of the West is not the East
The Western mind is not the Eastern mind.
The paths are different.
To demonstrate different paths, our Islamic brothers and sisters use a system called Lataifs, not chakras. They do not follow the same pattern nor positioned the same. They call these “subtle centres”, the East calls them chakras and in the West, spiritual centres. Just to show a few coincidences we have 7 subtle bodies.
Without going in to, too much detail in this article, we have 7 energy “shells”, which exist in the same place and make up the human form. We have used the word “shells” as we know this is used a lot in yoga but does not do justice in the explanation. Unfortunately, in the West, this lack of knowledge and understanding opens students up to many psychic and spiritual dangers.
Even Spiritual Possession.
Another aspect of the problem with chakra colour application is that the diagram is not quite correct. Lataifs do not follow the same positions as spiritual centres. When the student seeks union with their spirit within, much will be revealed but knowledge is given when earnt.
The human mind cannot force a spiritual experience.
Chakras are not singular colours. Light is not individual, it is a “gradient of energy” it is not separate colours in some respects as most would believe. Consider the same source of light hitting a slope which creates different angles, change in degrees or vibration and frequency. Light is unity and also very personal at the same time.
Now those doing yoga poses should really think about the last paragraph.
Change our pose, change how the light hits!
The experience of light is different for everyone, we see this in our self-healing classes. There are some animals that can see more than humans. However, too much light can be overwhelming. We suggest reading our articles about Irises. Where yoga is concerned, we are not only talking about physical light. We are speaking about spiritual light.
How external light is reflected in the physical body of another by the teacher is not the same as the light shone by the teacher within.
This statement is not written to make sense to all; it will to some. The answers to this can be found within, certainly not by messing with spiritual centres or chakras. If the readers have read our other articles on chakras and gardening, the inner light we all carry will teach us once we have connected to it!
There are safer and simpler ways to bring light into the human form. We are beings of light and light follows laws. It is better that we learn to connect to the source than to have it reflected by another. Yes, at times we may need this reflection to illuminate and to help. It may also be that we have these strange and bad experiences to help us find our own true path, the law of light.
The light knows what we need already, it has many qualities, seen and unseen, physical and spiritual. It can be studied scientifically as in the works of Newton or interpretively by the works of Goethe. In understanding both approaches we may see how the mind can create, can rationalise or even give false impressions without proper illumination.
Both approaches can help us understand light.
As our spiritual knowledge grows our understanding of light changes, as the light within builds our perception evolves, reforms and improves. The presence of light changes us. As Goethe explains the mind will always try to complete the whole where colour is concerned, it will create something to find unity, yoga, wholeness.
As we have written, “the mind cannot force a spiritual experience.” Putting colours over the chakras will create something but only in the mind and not in spirit. We have explained the dangers extensively in Chakras 9 and our article on “The dangers of manifestation”. The following links will be very useful, and we hope they create more questions than answers. However, there is more!
We will finish with a reminder; the spiritual meaning of a rainbow is “Hope” the opposite to hope is “Despair.”
