MIND/BODY

Greens are balanced, harmonious, and peaceful personalities. They need harmony in their life and prefer to live in a natural environment. They are the most balanced people in the color spectrum. They also have a powerful connection with nature. Living in the country, next to a forest or park or close to a lake or ocean is important for these friendly and heartfelt personalities. Greens are open, extroverted, expressive, friendly, communicative and heartfelt. Greens perceive life through their heart. Their primary motivations are contentment and harmony. They judge their successes by how close they are to their friends or nature. Greens are content personalities. If they are in power and have found their place they need very little to be happy or feel needed. Their inner happiness and satisfaction is important to them and is fulfilled without much expectation.

Greens want to feel happy and content with their lives. They understand clearly that the higher they set their goals the more difficult they will be to achieve. They also have an inner understanding of the natural cycles and laws of life. They believe that to live, as a human being is life's most wonderful gift. Green personalities are very talkative and communicative. They say exactly, what they think. They can talk for hours about almost any subject, often without saying very much. A good "chat" is therapeutic and allows them to release and express their deep feelings and concerns. Greens have a need to talk about themselves and their problems so they can understand them and feel better. If they are unhappy or frustrated they will discharge their frustration verbally. It is difficult for Greens to hold back or contain their thoughts and feelings. They have natural ways of expressing their emotions and feelings. If a Green is angry they will shout. If they are sad, tears will come. If they are jealous, you will see the reaction immediately.

Greens teach us that if we express our feelings and emotions naturally, the next step will be harmony and balance. If we hold back our feelings we will do nothing more than create unnecessary problems in our life. Unexpressed emotional energy will stay in our bodies and lower our life energy. Greens have a strong contact with both nature and their physical bodies. They have a need to express themselves and be physically active. Spending time in a garden, digging in the dirt or working with animals creates a special feeling for them. Green personalities are quick, abstract and analytical thinkers and can jump from one step to another without being concerned about the steps between. They prefer to develop and express their ideas and then to organize and delegate work. They are organized, efficient and have a need to understand everything they do. They process data both quickly and mentally and are able to make maximum use of this ability. They prefer organizing, structuring, planing and especially communicating about their projects to actual hard, physical work.

Greens have high expectations and specific beliefs about life. This is especially prevalent in their relationships with other people and their own financial situation. They expect life to go their way. Contrary to most Deep-Green personalities, Greens are not very ambitious or hardworking people. They prefer a natural and easy going life rather than one which is hectic and filled with stress, based primarily on earning money and achieving goals. They need to be independent and free in the sense that they have their own agenda and way of life. Greens need to feel, at least to themselves, that they are their own boss and are free to express, explore and change any situation. Greens can become passive and un-oriented at times. They express similarities to cats, enjoying doing nothing at all for long periods of time. They just stretch out and relax, which allows them to create harmony and balance and to recharge their life energy batteries.

SOCIAL LIFE

Greens are social and love to be with their family, relatives or friends. They love the secure feeling of being around friends and family. To feel understood and accepted is very important to them. Green personalities need harmony and prefer a relaxed, balanced, peaceful environment. Being around people allows them to communicate and express their deepest feelings. Greens can talk for hours. It is therapeutic for them. They tend to talk about their own experiences much more than about other peoples concerns. They also have no fear of communicating with strangers without knowing them. These expressive personalities are often found in social groups or organizations. Community work and sharing life with their family and close friends is very rewarding to them. Greens have a need to be with people, animals or nature. This interaction tells them they are alive and gives them the feeling of being needed and being part of nature. Because of their ability to share and communicate, Greens are often found in teaching or therapeutic professions.

RELATIONSHIPS AND INTIMACY

Green means relationships and interaction with humans, animals and nature. These relationships are their primary way of perceiving life. They view their world in terms of relating and personal interaction. They will talk with anyone without holding back or offering any resistance. It is natural for them to share their most intimate thoughts and feelings. They are open and forthcoming to the point where some people perceive them as insensitive or overwhelming. On the other hand, often it is difficult for them to develop deep relationships. Shallow conversation and a general sense of openness does not necessarily guarantee a deep interpersonal connection or meaningful friendship. However, if they are willing to give and support others they can relate with almost every personality type. Greens just love to be together with their family or close friends.

CAREER AND FINANCE

Greens have similar personality traits and qualities with Deep-Greens. Their financial attention is not on making money or achieving goals, but on having money and living a prosperous life. Greens are not fond of working very hard whether physically or mentally. They are also not completely responsible when it comes to earning money for themselves. They often find it easier to have someone else support them, or just decide to slow down and only earn enough money for their own basic needs. On the other hand, Greens are security conscious. They need to live in a safe and balanced environment where money and problems don't take up much space. Fighting for survival causes tension, something, which bothers Greens very much.

Greens are friendly and helpful and because they know how to communicate what they want or need, they regularly receive help from others. They seem to understand the concept of nature's support and growth system. If you ask, you will receive. Because of their connection to the natural support system, they often forget that it is also necessary to initiate action in order to make things happen. Greens solve their problems not only because they have friends or know the right people to fix things, but also because they have good analytical, organizing and planing abilities. Greens come up with detailed and clever ideas. They possess a natural intuition that allows them to be quick-minded and innovative. But Greens normally do not act on their ideas for themselves. Greens love to work with nature, animals or other people. They have an inner need to communicate in any form with their environment. They also need a friendly and balanced place in which to work. As a result of not being very ambitious or goal driven, their interests are more focused on nature and human, interpersonal issues. A typical "green" occupation would include: Gardener, environmental researcher, farmer, social worker, animal caretaker, mother, teacher, therapist, counselor or secretary.

HEALTH, WELL-BEING AND GROWTH

The best method for Greens to find harmony is to accept full responsibility and live their own life to the best of their abilities. They need to get in contact with their own mind/body and see the natural flow of growth and love. If they know what they want and have defined their goals clearly, they will be supported by nature with unlimited energy. Greens are natural healers and communicators and need to understand their purpose in life. They can bridge and unify mind and body and show humanity that friendship, sympathy, openness, communication and heartfulness are important aspects and qualities of human life. Greens need to talk and express their feelings and thoughts to stay well and centered. They will be unhappy if they are taught to suppress their feelings and emotions. The biggest gift Greens can give themselves is to be a natural, pure and simple human being. Conversely, this is also the largest lesson they can teach and offer humanity
