About the Creators

Denise Drake, The Loving Purple Light Author

The Author

Denise C. Drake has her degree in Education with an emphasis on Child Psychology/Development. A long-time teacher on the Windward side of Oahu, Hawai'i, she has been a disciplined practitioner of a daily relaxation process for over 20 years. Recently, as a substitute teacher, she has brought this practice into the classroom. Her intention is to help children find peace in the love and light that is always there for them, by encouraging her students to relax and focus inwardly. She has been met with full support from teachers and children alike. "When I arrive in a classroom these days, I may be interacting with age groups from 4 years of age to 13, and I'm always greeted with, "Ms. D, will we be doing the Loving Purple Light today?”
