Green: The Color
of
Caring, Harmony,
******************************* Green is the color of balance, harmony, and healing. The person who has a predominance of green energy is in tune with nature, cares about everyone and everything, and wants to create harmony within himself or herself, and within the whole system of which he or she is a part. Green is a color associated with the heart. It soothes the heart and nerves, as well as lowering blood pressure. It is often used to treat fatigue, negativity, tension, insomnia, and anger. It is a refreshing and restorative color. When we are filled with a green color balance, we will attract natural abundance and prosperity to ourselves. Green is
a balanced color, so it is
hard
to imagine having too much "balance." However, red and green are
complimentary colors, so they work together. The diet which
relies
heavily on greens can stand just a few red foods to keep the green in
balance.
The danger of being too "balanced" is that you become boring,
predictible,
and stubborn. You need a little red to give your life some
"fire."
If you have too
much
red then the color green and green foods should sound pretty good
to
you. Green fruits; kiwifruit,
