First of all, I’d like to wish everyone in the U.S. a Happy 4th of July (also referred to as Independence Day.) But even if that’s not a day you celebrate, let’s talk about the red, white, and blue angels of independence regardless of where you live. For reasons of my own, I’d like to do this in the order of blue, red, and white.
Blue is the color of Archangel Michael. Some say royal blue, others say almost purple. For me, I see him as a beautiful sapphire blue color. Archangel Michael is known for helping us to release the past as well as freeing us from other things that hold us back. He’s also known for helping to feel safe, protected, and courageous. All of these elements are helpful for helping us to achieve freedom in our lives.
Red is a color that is sometimes associated with Archangel Uriel. Others say yellow or gold (which is the color I see him as) but red works too. Archangel Uriel is the archangel of grand epiphanies as well as the archangel of transformation. Brilliant ideas that lead us to the ability to transform our lives is another key element to achieving our own personal versions of independence from things that hold us down.
Finally, white is the color associated with guardian angels. No one is more equipped to help us as individuals to seize opportunities to find our perfect place in the world. No other human or angel knows us better than our guardian angels. They have the ability to empower us like no other if we only ask for their assistance.
I think it’s interesting that if you blend red and blue together (presuming that the white doesn’t wash things out too much) you come up with purple. In my friend Dougall Fraser’s book, Your Life in Color, Dougall says that purple is the color of leadership, destiny and purpose. What says independence more than that?
By the way, another way to help free yourself might be found in my Summer School sale. We’ve reduced prices for a bunch of my very empowering courses and meditations to prices between $11 – $44 to help people feeling a little pinched by today’s wacko economy. You can check that out here to see if anything sounds like it might help you find a bit of independence for yourself right now.
With you on the journey,

The Sprinter’s Spiritual Lesson
Looking back, I cannot recall a time where my life has been so much about learning about myself. Why don’t we do this when we’re young? It would save us so much time and trouble! We could make such better choices if we were just taught to “know thyself.” One of the...
Holding Hope Without Holding on Too Tight
I have a question for you. How does one balance holding hope in your heart without also creating a powerful attachment to the outcome? Seriously, I’m asking. To me, this is a spiritual highwire act. Hope and optimism are powerful manifestors. They bring our heart’s...
The Stuff That’s Hidden
I recently got back from a visit to the city I was born and raised in. My sister and her family still reside in Knoxville, Tennessee and I hadn’t been back there in years. But one of my nieces and my nephew have been “fruitful and multiplied” so I had three babies to...
The Unsuspecting Expert
I’ve been doing a lot of “nest feathering” in my little French cottage here in Colorado. That’s been a whole other kind of fascinating for me as I have been drawn to colors and textures and artsy things that frankly astonish me. My inner “introspection addict” is...
Life is Sooo Good
I talk to myself. I do it all the time. I’ve been working from home since 2001, so I had chalked it up to spending a lot of time in quiet spaces. But, I’m also starting to wonder if it’s more than that. That maybe… just maybe… sometimes me talking to myself is...
Thank you, Radleigh. What a nice surprise to see this email today. Isn’t it amazing how the universe leads us to places (and emails) that are exactly what you need to know at that particular time and space. May you enjoy this day as well. My first exposure to your work was through your angel decks and then you appeared as a guest speaker on MSIN. Sending much love your way,
Amy
This lovely blog-bite is brilliant. Thank you. Somewhere in my past I taught basic hair colour classes and used the colour wheel, and food dye to exemplify how to enhance, neutralize, soften, or cancel unwanted tones in hair. I remember one student doing just what you spoke of and mixed red, white, and blue to get a lovely shade of Lavender. It’s also lovely to note that the more white, or light, added to blue and red the higher the hew of violet and the 7th Chakra.
Now I’ll sit back down and be quiet…. much love to all.
