Green Chakra

The green chakra is the left/yin/female side of the heart and is located several inches above the left nipple in the center of the pectoral region. Most texts on chakras will describe green as the heart chakra located in the center of the chest. This may have been the case at one time in our human evolution, but in present time and reality it is not. For the heart center is divided into three chakras, with green on the left, pink on the right, and opal in the middle reflecting the yin and yang influences from earth below and heaven above with opal acting as a balancing point between the two.

Green is the female, nurturing, compassionate and caring aspect of the heart (much as images of The Madonna holding her baby convey). Its functional domain includes the heart and aorta, the left lung and bronchioles, the esophagus, left arm, shoulder and left side of the chest, neck, face and left eye. The green will be present on the first two levels when a person is, on some level, actively making effort to take care of or nurture oneself--in some shape or form "cutting oneself some slack" or being good to oneself in some manner. This may include choosing to not over-do-it or be hard on oneself, taking rest or time off, treating oneself to something special or simply eating well [do I sound like your mother?].

Those people with green present in their fourth level (which is about 10% of the population), need beware of others wanting some of their "life juice". They can be so empathetic towards others that they may suffer from depression since they so easily can be overwhelmed through feeling all the pain and suffering in the world. They will often tend to put themselves last after attending to the needs and wants of everyone else. Feeling guilty about one thing or another is a common pastime. As Kermit-the-Frog on Sesame Street would say, "It is not easy being green!" This is unfortunately very true, for the world today does not support people coming from their hearts. At the same time the planet can use more people with green present.

[Since the turn of the millennium and especially in the last year or two, I have continued to see an increase in the percent of the planetary population that has just green in their spiritual body, so the figure is now closer to 15% than 10%. If I were to venture to interpret this trend, I would say that on the surface it is because more people are in a victim or 'down and out' mode, but it also means that more people are feeling more from their heart and less in their heads.]
