GREEN and the CHAKRAS
GREEN is absorbed by the Heart Chakra and controls the cardiac centre and strongly influences the heart and blood pressure. It is linked to the heart, lungs, circulatory system, cardiac plexus and the complete chest area.  


The Heart Chakra is the ‘Harmonizing Element’ and bridges the gap between the physical and spiritual worlds. It allows a person to feel compassion and empathy and gives one the ability to give and receive graciously. The Hearth Chakra resonates with ‘unconditional love’.

When the Heart Chakra is blocked, we experience emotional instability and problems in our relationships with other people. It makes us feel sorrow and loss which we feel we cannot get passed.
