Green is associated with the 4th energy center – The Heart Chakra. Use green when you deal with relationships, love, communicating your emotions, needing to have space and searching your truth.

Since green is the complementary color of red, consider using green when your Base Chakra is overactive which means that you are too excited and can not calm down, when you are angry, aggressive, hyper or you have high blood pressure. In all those cases, using green will help you to balance your Base Chakra.

The spiritual challenges of the fourth chakra is to learn compassion, forgiveness and the meaning of conscious love, , also called “unconditional love”. When functions well, we experience love, compassion, empathy, acceptance, peace, respect, bonding, forgiveness and grief. If things go wrong, we experience difficulties with relationships, codependence issues, negativity and pessimism, destructive criticism, passive aggression, bitterness, jealousy and lack of forgiveness

Forgiveness is a big part of the Heart Chakra and I will write a separate blog about forgiveness next week. In the meantime – be creative, use green in different ways if you are in need to forgive.

Any ideas of how to add green to your life?
