The Color of Courtship

"There is no surprise more magical than the surprise of being loved. It is God's finger on man's shoulder."- Charles Morgan

A dear friend and wonderful colleague, Gene Monterastelli invited me as a guest on his radio show a while back, and I talked about the role of color in conjunction with EFT (emotional freedom technique). I gave a general overview of colors, and, like during many of my talks, an awareness of a particular color and its applications may suddenly appear.

Gene commented on an interesting online trend he had noticed relevant to individuals seeking a relationship: a reoccurring theme with the color green. Whether it was stated that "green" was a favorite color, or the profile itself reflected a green palette; whatever the application, it occurred often enough to capture his attention.

I even had to laugh because as we talked about his observations, I remembered that a recent movie with Jennifer Anniston entitled, "Love Happens," uses a marketing typography of green!

Green is the color of courtship. In fact, when I read a client's energy field and see the possibilities of what they can allow into their life (notice I did not say predict the future), I view new relationships as "balls" or "orbs" of green coming in from the left which symbolizes allowing or receiving. I personally see all opportunities and energy arriving from the left side of a person's energy field.

Green represents relationships--relationships with God, self, and others--not just the romantic sort. Green within an energy field is a wonderful color for me to see! I associate green with abundance and new beginnings for both personal and professional growth.

Green is the color of the heart center, and therefore is the color for affairs of the heart. The heart center is related to more than just the heart. Other corresponding areas for the heart center, or "green energy," include the lungs, upper back, arms and hands, breasts, chest region and shoulders. Interestingly enough, all of the associations we have with relationships (not sex) have to do with those areas. In a sense, we share our "green" energy (our love) with each other through all those centers.

A good example is breast feeding. If a mother cannot actually breast feed, just holding an infant close and bottle feeding still provides the exchange of heart energy. (And on a side note, babies don't get ANY energy when the bottle is just propped up and left unattended.)

Holding hands with someone you love is also an exchange of heart energy because arms and hands are an extension of this center. Arms and hands represent giving and receiving love. Those who have weight issues with upper arms or large chests also have issues with allowing others close to their heart.

Green is a calming, trusting color. It resides between the realm of yellow, (representing self) and blue (representing truth and honesty). When you are true and honest with yourself, you are free to allow love into your life. Green is also a color of balance, as it has the warm properties of the lower three energy centers, as well as the cool properties of the higher three centers. I remember as a child looking at Christ on the cross during mass and thinking that "X" marked the spot for love, Well it does--it crosses directly over the heart center!

Green offers a sense of surrender, and is non-threatening to most of us. When there is a depletion of green energy in the auric field, it is always due to relationship issues. Orange energy, on the other hand, is associated with emotions and person-to-person relationships; however, green energy depicts how we "measure" ourselves by our relationships. We define our self worth (basically who we are) through comparisons between our relationships which can include self, family, colleagues, lovers, friends, our God, and even our animals.

Whenever we long for a relationship, we "leak" or deplete our green energy. Therefore, when someone comes along waving the green, we are automatically attracted! It works both ways: we are drawn to green or wear it because we need it replaced/restored, and we USE green because it "feels right." Ultimately, green represents establishing relationships and beginning anew.

I also see green as a color for networking. It is good for business when seeking out new clients or new partnerships. In a sense, you are "courting" new clients. When coupled with blue (the color of business) green can really shift your business. Try this visualization the next time you have an important meeting. Imagine a client's heart center, nice and green and open, before you even pitch an idea to them. Experiment and see how it can work to your advantage!

Start noticing the role of green in your own relationships and those around you. It is the color of courtship and offers the ability to provide a wonderful feeling of freedom and newness. Good luck on your courting!
