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.

Do you have a predisposition toward green energy?  Ask yourself:

1.  Do you have green or hazel eyes?
2.  Do you or your parents suffer from circulation problems, cysts, or cancer?
3.  Do you usually find it hard to make decisions?
4.  Do you love the natural world?
5.  Do you feel that you are able to give and receive love?
