I never quite feel like it’s fair that I favor green above the other colors. Each color has their “medicine”. However, green has always appealed to me. Not just any green, but emerald green, the green of a lush forest, the green growing of plants in the garden. To me, green is about nature, healing, growth, and expansion in the way of taking in and letting go into the world. In some traditions, green is the color of the heart chakra. It is about giving and receiving in equal measure. In the royal court of the heart, there is the energy for devotion to a cause and compassion for others as much as self-love, inner nourishment, and emotional wisdom.

All too often, I see women around me with an overactive gift of giving. They give and then deplete because they don’t balance giving with receiving, which is an essential heart nutrient like giving. Sometimes, we need to receive words of praise, gratitude, and appreciation, or an embrace, a hearty hug, or a warm hand on the shoulder, and know that these regenerate heart energy.

The heart holds the gift of expansion through the breath, the blood, and the passion for doing one’s life’s mission.
