Green: A Story the Heart Remembers
After yellow taught the mind how to choose, green arrived in our lives to teach the soul the art of healing.

Green is sober and makes you feel fresh. It is not like fire, nor does it glow like the sun. Green emerged quietly like leaves unfolding after rain. It is the color of forests breathing, new shoots breaking through soil, and the gentle balance between earth and sky. Green never asks you if you can survive. Or can you decide?
Its fresh touch asks you, can you love without fear?
If your heart feels heavy, then naturally, the body starts to feel tired. You feel unloved, betrayed, aloof, and broken. And the heart belongs to green. At this point, it indicates a blockage in one of 7 chakras in the body.
Green governs the Anahata (Heart Chakra), located at the center of the chest. This is the meeting point of lower survival energies and higher spiritual awareness. It is the middle Chakra of the body, and that’s why it is so important. It is where love, compassion, forgiveness, balance, and emotional healing reside. If red roots you, orange moves you, and yellow empowers you, green harmonizes you.
Those with balanced green energy radiate a calm, warm energy. They forgive without weakness. They give without losing themselves. Their presence feels safe, steady, and accepting. They understand that love is strength, not sacrifice. The love people with an open heart, and in turn, they get loved by people equally. That’s the power of green.
But when green dims, pain lingers. Grudges harden. Jealousy, possessiveness, or fear of rejection quietly grow. One may feel emotionally closed or overly dependent. When green becomes excessive, boundaries blur. Because that is exaggeration, and such people end up giving too much, rescuing others, neglecting self-care.
The body, faithful messenger of the heart, reflects this imbalance. Chest tightness. Asthma. Blood pressure irregularities. Immune weakness. Circulatory issues. The heart and lungs are deeply connected to green energy. Even shallow breathing can signal emotional protection.

Breathe deeply, AND The heart opens slowly.
In color psychology, green represents harmony, growth, renewal, and stability. It is the most restful color for the human eye. Hospitals use soft, green colors to promote healing. Financial institutions use green to symbolize prosperity and trust. Nature uses green to restore the nervous system.
When someone is drawn strongly to green, they may be seeking emotional healing or stability. When someone rejects green, it may indicate unresolved heart wounds or resistance to vulnerability.
In homes, green balances spaces. Too much red creates tension; too much blue creates coldness. Green restores equilibrium. It is ideal for bedrooms, meditation spaces, and areas where emotional conversations happen.
Healers work with green through plants, heart-centered meditation, and stones like Green Aventurine, Emerald, and Malachite. These are not merely ornaments; they symbolize growth through pain and beauty through resilience.
In occult science, green is associated with positive energy. It talks about love, attraction, fertility, abundance, and harmony. It is used in rituals for relationship healing and financial growth. Green binds love with prosperity, reminding us that emotional and material balance are interconnected.
Green teaches the art of balance:
Give, but do not empty yourself. Self-love is important.
Receive, without guilt. You deserve to be loved.
Forgive, but remember your worth.
If red says, Live.
If orange says, Feel.
If yellow says, Choose.
Green says, “Open.”
And in opening the heart, life begins to flow not just with strength, but with grace.
Alert: Too much of green creates confusion, doubt and suspicious mindset. Instead of trusting others easily, you may begin to question their intentions. Outwardly, you may still express love and affection, but internally, doubt can linger. Over time, this can make you hesitant to fully trust people.
