~  GREEN  ~

 


Like death and taxes, there is no escaping colors. It is ubiquitous. Yet what does it all mean? Why are people more relaxed in green rooms? Why do weightlifters do their best in blue gyms?
Colour symbolises the differentiated, the manifest; diversity; the affirmation of light.
The colour green:
Ambivalent as both life and death in the vernal green of life and the livid green of death; also as youth, hope and gladness but equally change, transitoriness and jealousy. Green forms the mystic colour; it also combines the cold blue light of the intellect with the emotional warmth of the yellow sun to produce the wisdom of equality, hope, renewal of life and resurrection.
In Christianity; the vernal green is immortality; hope; the growth of the Holy Spirit in man; life; triumph over death and Spring over Winter. It is also initiation; good works, and in medieval times it became the colour of the Trinity, Epiphany and St John the Evangelist. Pale green is equated with Satan, evil and death.
Green is the colour of tranquillity; harmony, peace and contemplation; but, depending on the shade of green, it can aslo be depressing.

 
Mmmm . . . . wonder why I love green so much. :)

Devi, as an american Indian. this is what I could say about green (in aura).
As a general guide, someone with a green aura is quite spiritual and generally quite balanced in life. People with green auric energies are typically closer to nature than most and can are more concerned for others then they are about themselves.

My two cents :)

I am sharing this with you. I read this from the web.
Green is the color of balance and represents the master healer and life force. With green, life is rejuvenated and stimulated. It is a powerful magnetic color that attracts positive power and is a strong healing ray. It is a color of health and vitality. It alleviates strain through balancing, rather than through stimulation as the warm colors do. It relaxes the nervous system and is a good color for tension control. Green eases emotional and mental states of distress, which in turn cause physical illnesses. Deep emotional wounds can especially be healed with green

About Me

My photo
We yearn for some explosive, extraordinary escape from the inescapable and, none forthcoming, we put our faith in an apocalyptic rupture whereby the inevitable is solved by the unbelievable grasshoppers, plagues, composite monsters, angels, blood in industrial quantities, and, in the end, salvation from sin and evil--meaning anxiety, travail, and pain. By defining human suffering in cosmic terms, as part of a cosmic order that contains an issue, catastrophe is dignified, endowed with meaning, and hence made bearable.
