The Phlegmatic/Green Personality (Strengths)

 

Phlegmatic/Greens are empathic to the extreme. Not only can they sense what others are feeling, but they can also perceive a problem from its onset through its resolution with little mental effort. Their thinking processes are almost computer-like, jumping from point one to point ten, with signals being picked up, scanned, and spit back out in patterns that would take the rest of us hours to understand. You will never win an argument with a Phlegmatic/Green Personality. They already know where you are coming from and where you are going and, usually, have the following sentence ready. If Phlegmatic/Green does not understand their talent, it would be beneficial for them to recognize that not everyone shares this gift.

 

Phlegmatic/Greens are organized planners who can accomplish everything efficiently. They are open to change, have excellent communication skills, and enjoy sharing information. Phlegmatic/Greens aren't always aware they are full of healing energy. They can heal others with loving energy, even from a distance. Phlegmatic/Greens are deeply concerned about humanity, nature, and the environment. You'll find them purchasing organic dish sopa in the all-natural section of the grocery store.

 

Phlegmatic/Greens are selective about their friends and how they spend their money. They may be less interactive in social settings and often act as social observers. They have no problem waiting for the right moment. Not wanting to feel choppy waters all around them, they hesitate. Both security and personal growth are essential in Phlegmatic/Green's relationships (which may be rocky due to Phlegmatic/Green's ability to feel truths more than most) and finances.

 

Phlegmatic/Greens are loyal until disrespected. Then it is over. Without respect, there is no love. Employment may be a problem. As their interests differ, they might not know what to focus on and feel socially unacceptable. It is hard for the Phlegmatic/Green to settle for the practical or less. Hence, they continually strive to understand their relationships and their life purpose. Phlegmatic/Greens are often self-employed in unique positions that offer money, power, and prestige, more to avoid unpleasant work situations than to satisfy their ego.

 

 

Phlegmatic/Green Energetic Personality Occupations

 

Therapist, homeopath, naturopath, medium, writer, teacher, or salesperson (only sales that don't require persuasion)

 

 

Phlegmatic/Challenges for Greens (Weaknesses)

 

Phlegmatic/Greens tend to get upset with others who lack the speed of thought and empathy they possess. Furthermore, they get irritated with those who don't do things as well as they do. (Not everyone can see a task through to such perfection!) The problem lies in the fact that the Phlegmatic/Greens believe that all people are born with these qualities, and if they do not use them, they consider them ignorant.

 

It would benefit Phlegmatic/Green to accept their unique qualities as "gifts". Most Phlegmatic/Greens, however, will not agree. Being this empathic can feel like a curse. It is challenging to navigate life and to sense people's true feelings and needs. Some Phlegmatic/Greens are so highly sensitive that they develop phobias.

 

Additionally, Phlegmatic/Greens who do not know how to manage their gifts may attract needy or abusive people and relationships out of a desire to belong. Phlegmatic/Greens tend to be reclusive, but this won't do. They have much to share and will wilt if they don't. Of all the personalities, Phlegmatic/Green most often falls into the highly sensitive category.

 

 

Possible Health Issues for Phlegmatic/Greens

 

When the heart space is armored, people disconnect to protect themselves. That disconnection increases isolation, which increases stress, which lowers immune resilience. Physiologically, loneliness is inflammatory. Physical health issues might also include heart problems (disease, Angina, heart palpitations, irregular heartbeat, heart attack), circulatory problems, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, Diabetes, Rheumatoid Arthritis, respiratory issues (Bronchitis, Pneumonia, Asthma, cold and flu), allergies (and Histamine Intolerance), poor sleep, bowel dysfunctions (cramps, spasms, ulcers, IBS), weak immune system, upper back and shoulder pain, and breast lumps or Breast Cancer.

 

Phlegmatic/Green emotional health issues might involve irritability, aloofness, lack of compassion, being distrusting or too trusting, emotionally reserved, self-centered, smothering, codependent, over-nice, over-giving, effusive, unable to act in a kind or loving manner, excessively empathic, defensiveness, difficult to please, grieving for too long, anxiety, depression, judgmental, or sympathy seeking. Phlegmatic/Green's need for acceptance may be interpreted as a form of love for another person.

 

A common pattern for a Phlegmatic/Green living with herpes is outbreaks during periods of isolation, heartbreak, or self-rejection, and flares after feeling unlovable, unseen, or extremely lonely. Contracting HSV often carries a component of grief. Loss of imagined futures. Loss of sexual ease. Loss of innocence.

 

The Phlegmatic/Green personality is associated with the heart chakra, which is often associated with the color rose. The thymus chakra is located right above the heart chakra, which governs the thymus gland. This "high heart," often called the soul seat, is associated with the sense of touch and the color turquoise. It is our connection to humanity, our compassion, and our self-worth and esteem. The heart chakra has a significant influence on telepathy. It's powerful in babies and children, waning in adolescence. Problems in this area lead to immune issues, self-righteousness, and an attitude of entitlement and coldness.

Raising Phlegmatic/Green Energy Levels

Experiencing low energy in Phlegmatic/Green often indicates a lack of growth and some stress in your life. As mentioned, Phlegmatic/Green relates to the heart chakra. The Phlegmatic/Green Personality can't survive without unconditional love. Low phlegmatic energy may indicate that you're too isolated or stagnating in a poor relationship.

 

As a Phlegmatic/Green, you're empathic and need a safe connection, including with yourself. It's essential for your emotional and physical health to be selective of the people and situations you allow yourself to be a part of. Be around others who love you. It's the only way you can feel relaxed and free to be yourself. Self-compassion practices (self-love) can actually calm the vagus nerve. It's also essential to be around like-minded people. A community where disclosure is not dangerous. Be open to change. If there is a way to become more involved in humanitarian efforts, something meaningful to you, do so.

 

Visit places where you can enjoy being a spectator, such as museums, operas, plays, or a fair. Surround yourself with beautiful things (you love beautiful things). Buy some flowers. Spend some time in nature.

Based on color, these include apples, pears, green grapes, green beans, lettuce, lime, kiwi, cabbage, avocado, spinach, kale, peas, leeks, green onions, and green herbs such as basil, oregano, and thyme. All green herbs, vitamins, and minerals may benefit the Phlegmatic/Green Personality.

 

 

Choosing Food & Herbal Remedies Based on the Phlegmatic Temperament

 

Phlegmatics appear to thrive on both vegetarian and traditional diets. Milk, dairy products (including cheeses), wheat (and other foods containing gluten), refined sugar, starches and flours, as well as very cold and icy foods and drinks, and moist, creamy, rich foods, will bother the Phlegmatic temperament.

 

The idea is to provide your body with nutrients opposite your dominant humors to correct humor imbalances.

 

Phlegmatics have a primarily COLD/WET constitution. You would choose HOT and DRY nutrients to create balance and restore health and wellness.

 

HOT Choices: Choose from onions, garlic, ginger, chicken, horseradish, walnuts, duck, lamb, garbanzo beans, lentils, lemon, apple, olives, aged cheeses, peppers, cayenne, chives, astragalus root, chai, ginger, cloves, cardamom, and any foods or nutrients that stimulate the metabolism or make one sweat. Foods served hot or roasted are also considered "heating" foods and tend to increase warmth.

 

DRY Choices: Dry food choices are also considered "Light". Choose from rice cakes, popcorn, corn, most beans (such as garbanzo), sunflower seeds, pomegranates, asparagus, dried fruits, aged cheeses, or any foods or nutrients that are physically dry, such as bread or crackers, or that help eliminate excess body fluid through sweating or urination.

 

HOT or DRY Herb Choices: Astragalus (HOT/DRY), holy basil (HOT/DRY), rosemary (HOT/DRY), turmeric (HOT/DRY), motherwort (Neutral/DRY), valerian (WARM), ginger (WARM), cannabis (WARM/DRY), wild yam (WARM/DRY), calendula (WARM/DRY), hyssop (WARM/DRY), club moss (WARM/DRY), golden seal (HOT/DRY), nettles (HOT/DRY), echinacea (HOT/DRY), elecampane (HOT/DRY), lavender flowers (HOT/DRY), thyme (HOT/DRY), basil (WARM), hawthorn berry (WARM), safflower (WARM), wild cherry bark (WARM), juniper berry (WARM), watercress (WARM), skullcap (WARM), rue (WARM), dong quai (WARM)

 

You'll find that many of the same foods considered HOT are also DRY, but not all.

 

Neutral food and herb choices include raspberries, elderberries, calendula flowers, flaxseed, chasteberry, carrots, parsley, oat straw, psyllium, motherwort, blackberries, and lemon balm.

Implementing Green in Wardrobe & Decor

 

Green helps to increase growth, luck, femininity, fertility, freshness, nature, healing, harmony, love, empathy, nurturance, abundance, stability, balance, youth, and promising possibilities.

 

Because color is absorbed through the eyes and skin, color-gazing meditations are a simple way to balance your energy and emotions. For an instant boost of energy or calm, gaze at Green for 30 seconds or longer, until your interest wanes.

Utilizing Green in Prayer & Rituals

 

Green restores, heals, balances, creates abundance and financial increase, eases stressful situations, increases persistence and fertility, and promotes growth.
