The Color Green: the color of love, growth and abundance

Have you ever noticed how the color green seems to whisper directly to your soul? As someone deeply connected to the healing arts, I’ve always been drawn to this magnificent color. In fact, the color green isn’t just my favorite—it’s become an integral part of my personal and professional journey toward wholeness.

The Personal Touch of Green in My Life

My connection with the color green manifests in many ways throughout my space. My cherished Blumera bag, the most perfect accessory I’ve ever owned, comes in a vibrant green that never fails to lift my spirits. My front room glows with citrus green walls, while my office showcases a refreshing “spring green” above crisp white wainscoting. To me, these touches of green represent fresh ideas, abundant possibilities, and the comforting embrace of nature—like the feeling of lying in soft grass or rolling down a lush hillside.

The Universal Language of Green

The psychology of green reveals why this color resonates so deeply with our spirits. As the most restful color for human eyes, green serves as nature’s universal language of growth and renewal. It’s fascinating how the color green is associated with both environmental consciousness and spiritual transformation. In recent years, this connection has deepened through movements like the Green Business Network, where many of my colleagues and I work to honor and protect our precious Earth.

Green: The Color of Heart-Centered Healing

“Green is the prime color of the world, and that from which its loveliness arises.” –Pedro Calderon de la Barca

The symbolism of green runs deep in healing traditions. As the color of the heart chakra, it represents:

Love and compassion
Forgiveness and understanding
Transformation and growth
Community and connection

Practical Applications for Personal Development

Through my work in holistic healing and coaching, I’ve witnessed how the color green can support self improvement and personal development. Here are some powerful ways to harness its energy:

For Learning and Memory Wearing green can enhance memory retention—perfect for students or anyone embarking on a learning journey.
In Healing Spaces Green creates a calming environment, which is why it’s often used in healthcare settings. My own healing space incorporates gentle green tones to help clients feel safe and nurtured.
For Professional Growth A touch of green in your workspace or wardrobe can convey trust and dedication. I often suggest to my business coaching clients to incorporate a subtle green accent when making presentations or meeting with clients.

Green in Sacred Spaces: Feng Shui Wisdom

The meaning of green in Feng Shui adds another layer to its transformative power. Associated with wood, health, and family, green brings vital energy to the east and southeast areas of your space. In my own practice, I’ve found that placing green plants or crystals like peridot, malachite, or emerald in these areas can activate powerful healing and abundance energies.

The color green represents our connection to both the natural world and our inner landscape of growth and transformation. As we embrace its energy, we open ourselves to the endless possibilities of healing, abundance, and heart-centered living.

Intentionally choosing green gemstones, including peridot, malachite, emeralds, tourmaline, labradorite and green jade, encourages playfulness, harmony, forgiveness, and healing. It is said to open the heart chakra.

Choosing to wear greens says to the world, “I open my heart and share it with others.” “I put my heart into everything I do.”
