Green Color Meanings & Associations

The Green HSP Personality is associated with the heart chakra (heart and lungs): Love and relationships.

• Green: Growth, healing, harmony, social, quickness, organization, and possibilities.
• Aqua Green: Peace and healing love.
• Turquoise: A healer or therapist, representing tranquility, protection, and sensitivity.
• Rose: Love, friendship, and intimacy.

Green Color Emotional/Mental State

Able to teach, is social, loves people, animals, and nature, sympathetic, empathic, responsible, harmonious, sharing, natural, contented, and quick-minded. Green is fascinated with the metaphysical and, very likely, psychic.

The Green HSP Personality (Strengths)

Greens are empathic to the extreme. They can sense what others are feeling and perceive a problem from its beginning to its resolution and back, with little mental effort. Their thinking processes are almost computer-like, jumping from point one to point ten, picking up signals, scanning them, and spitting them back out in patterns that would take the rest of us hours to understand. You will never win an argument with a Green Aura Color Personality. They already know where you are coming from and where you are going and usually have the next sentence ready. If Green doesn't understand their talent, remember that not everyone shares this gift.

Greens are organized planners who can accomplish everything efficiently. They embrace change, communicate well, and enjoy sharing information. Greens aren't always aware of the healing energy they carry. They can heal others with loving energy, even from a distance. Greens are deeply concerned about humanity, nature, and the environment. You'll find them in the all-natural section of the grocery store, purchasing organic dish soap.

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 Green's relationships (which may be rocky because Green can feel truths more than most) and finances.

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

Occupations for Green

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

Challenges for Greens (Weaknesses)

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

It would benefit Greens to accept their unique qualities as "gifts." Most Greens, however, will not agree. This level of empathy can feel like a curse. Navigating life while sensing people's true feelings and needs is challenging. Some Greens are so highly sensitive that they develop phobias.

Additionally, Greens who do not know how to manage their gifts may attract needy or abusive people and relationships out of a desire to belong. 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 aura-color personalities, Green most often falls into the highly sensitive category.

Possible Health Issues for Greens

Physical health issues might 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 dysfunction (cramps, spasms, ulcers, IBS), weak immune system, upper back and shoulder pain, and breast lumps or Breast Cancer.

Emotional health issues might involve irritability, aloofness, lack of compassion, being distrustful 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 a period, Anxiety, Depression, judgmental, or sympathy-seeking. Green's need for acceptance may be interpreted as a form of love for another person.

The heart chakra is often associated with the color rose. The thymus chakra sits right above the heart chakra and governs the thymus gland. This "high heart," often called the soul seat, is associated with the sense of touch and the color turquoise. It connects us to humanity, compassion, and self-worth and esteem. The heart chakra strongly influences telepathy. It's powerful in babies and children and wanes in adolescence. Problems in this area lead to immune issues, self-righteousness, and an attitude of entitlement and coldness.

Raising Heart, Green & Phlegmatic Temperament Energy Levels

A low HSP Personality Self-Test score in Green often means a lack of growth and some stress in your life. Green relates to the heart chakra. The Green personality can't survive without unconditional love. A low score may indicate that you resist change. Perhaps you are stagnating in a poor relationship.

Try being more selective about the people and situations you allow yourself to be a part of. As an HSP, you are empathetic, which means you can pick up on others' emotions. Be around others who love you. Be open to change. You can only do this if you are relaxed and feel free. Above all, seek like-minded people to be around.

Visit places where you can enjoy being a spectator, such as museums, operas, plays, or a fair. Surround yourself with beautiful things. Buy some flowers. Spend some time in nature. If you can get more involved in humanitarian efforts, do so.

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, very cold and icy foods and drinks, and moist, creamy, rich foods can 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. Choose HOT and DRY nutrients to create balance and restore health and wellness.

See The Phlegmatic Temperament for food lists. 

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 the eyes and skin absorb color, 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.
