COLOUR OF THE WEEK CONTEST | GREEN / Go Green

The green color is commonly encountered; we see it everywhere around us because it's the predominant color in nature. We associate it with luck, tranquility, wealth, generosity, but also with health and healing, as herbs and certain foods have been used for healing purposes since ancient times. Green has the power and symbolism to bring comfort, security, and warmth to our consciousness.

We often associate the color with the feeling of home, and it's not by chance. It's in our instinct to seek and be perpetually connected to the earth and nature. Where do we find balance and tranquility when we need to clear our minds? Yes, in nature, the forests and mountains, amidst flowers at home, or while working in the yard of our garden. It's an instinct that will always help us find the right path to balance and restore positivity within ourselves. In the green color, we can always find inspiration.

In various cultures, green carries different meanings. Some see it as a symbol of eternal life, while others associate it with good luck. In Christianity and biblical symbolism, green signifies immortality, resurrection, growth, prosperity, and renewal. In Buddhism, green is associated with the healing power of nature and the balance between the mind and body. In Ancient Egypt, green was regarded as the color of life and was associated with the god Osiris, who was responsible for the afterlife and the rejuvenation of the earth.

In Hinduism, green is linked to the god Vishnu, who is associated with preservation and balance and is often depicted wearing green clothes. Additionally, green represents the healing energy of the fourth chakra, also known as the heart chakra. It is associated with accepting ourselves as well as learning about receptivity, love, compassion, and sincerity. When there's imbalance within us, we can help ourselves by nourishing our senses with the green color, surrounding ourselves with it.
