| The Grass is always Greener on the other side….right? Sometimes the grass IS greener on the other side, but is it always better? Could the lush color be deceptively caused by harsh chemicals or other toxic substances? Could it be deceptive? Are we missing the beauty in a dandelion filled yard because we are too busy longing for chemical filled perfection? Learning to be happy with life in all facets is at times the most difficult challenge for all of us in our materialistic society. Sometimes, we need to stop and appreciate the weeds. For example, dandelion is in deed one of the most useful herbs (yes I referred to it as an herb) that we have access to yet we take it for granted all of the time due to its “bothersome” growth rate. This is not an article about dandelions, herbs, or our ever growing toxic environment but it is about the most important color surrounding us and since it is so common, we of course take it for granted. Green is the color of sprouting crocuses in spring, fields of corn and plush grass lawns in the summer, ripening pumpkin patches in the fall and an ever present comfort in winter brought to us by loyal evergreen soldiers. Even in many deserts, green is present in cacti or reptiles. The color of the earth, life, abundance, fertility and of course, money, green vibrates at many different levels. The fourth chakra or “heart” chakra is the seat of our emotional well being and is governed by green. The good thing about incorporating green into your environment is that it is already there, you just need to notice it and appreciate it. With sky rocketing prices on everything from gas to food, we are all looking to increase the money flow into our lives. Really, any shade of green can achieve this but a sagey green is the one that I have found to be the most effective for drawing in money. Live plants are a great “green” way to increase your abundance. Bamboo in and of itself attracts money and since it is a grass, most anyone can grow it. The addition of green jade, malachite (which also is good to increase business profits), and green tourmaline to the pebbles around your bamboo plant will be most beneficial to your quest to bring more “green” into your life.
