GREEN is the colour of nature, the plant kingdom.
The human eye has its greatest sensitivity in the range of frequencies we perceive as green.
The qualities of green are characterised by balance, and indeed green itself is found midway in the spectrum. Whereas the reds and yellows are warm colours, and the blues and violets are cool, green can be seen as either, depending on the shade.
Green stands for growth and the desire to expand and increase. Yet growth requires change, and change means that what has been must disappear to be replaced by what is to come.
Balance and a sense of order must be present for growth.
The colour green is the vibration of relationships, because in growing and expanding we meet others in the world around us.
Green energy inevitably has to do with the pushing out of boundaries, of growing beyond what is known. Because it is expansive it must develop relationships with those things around it, but it must also have a degree of power and control.
The energy that green creates is the energy of finding direction and new paths, Green enables us to have the means to reach the desired end; it provides the power to accomplish rather than power to dominate. In this way green shows how to balance difficult extremes to enable progress to be made.
For people who work and live away from a natural environment, gardens and urban parks help to restore balance and perspective. Even a simple window box can have this effect.
Put green in your life when there is:
• A feeling of restriction caused by circumstances such as being housebound or confined.
• A need to let change happen,
but also a fear of the unknown.
• A feeling of being trapped
by other people’s rules and regulations and a need to break rigid patterns.
• A need for new ideas.
• A need for a new state of balance.
• A problem with personal relationships, especially with over-dominance or subservience.
• A negative green tendency – feelings and emotions like envy, jealousy and greed.
Enjoy your green.
