Imagine your heart Chakra.  The color of this chakra should be a beautiful clear emerals green  If you see any other color, remove it, spin clockwise.

Because the solar plexus chakra is effected so much by our emotions, malfunctioning of it can cause problems with the heart chakra as well as the physical heart.
