Something Nice
I have been trying to think of what I could post that would be helpful and maybe a little bit different, and it occurred to me that it might be nice to have a violet light, or a real violet flame on when meditating, especially if you meditate in the evening, or in the early hours of the morning. It would be kind of like bathing in actual violet light.
So I went on a search for cool stuff that would fill a room with violet light.
The first thing I thought of was violet or purple colored light bulbs. There is a wide variety to choose from, and they aren’t very expensive. I saw some really cute night lights, twinkling purple Christmas lights, and ordinary purple light bulbs. Very simple and easy to do.
Then I remembered that I have something that’s pretty cool. It’s a set of LED candles that have a color changing remote control. Before the project, I usually went for the red and the peach colors, but the violet is perfect for this project. I got mine at Dollar General, but they are available at amazon. Here’s a link to the brand in the picture: Honeyall Flameless. My set only has 3 candles. I think what I like most is the remote control.
There are real candles that burn with purple flames, but I didn’t find any for sale on Amazon. I did, however, find a website that sells Tea Light Candles that look like they burn with a nice violet light. Here’s a link to the page:
Other ideas I had to create violet colored light are as follows:
- Use purple paper sacks to make violet luminaries. More of an outside idea…
- Spray paint a lamp shade purple. Of course you’d have to be careful that the paint can handle any heat from the light bulb.
- Cover a window with violet or purple cellophane wrapping paper. Obviously, this would would be something temporary… Be fun to make violet shades for your windows that are made from cellophane, but that is probably an easier said than done sort of project.
- Paint a mason jar with with glass-frosting spray paint. Drop in an LED tea light, screw the lid on and voila! These are actually pretty cool. Here’s a picture:
Interestingly, according to the principles of Feng Shui, purple is the optimum color for the prosperity area of your home.

I love the violet frosted glass jar… be fun to have a bunch of them on all at once!
I really want to make me one of the frosted mason jars! It looks really cool!
We should do this one weekend… make a note of the stuff we need, and we’ll do it. I want one too and I know Sydney would want one.
