The perception of the colour green is evoked by light having a spectrum dominated by energy with a wavelength of roughly 520–570 nanometres. The word green is closely related to the Old English verb growan, "to grow". Culturally, green has broad and sometimes contradictory meanings. In some cultures, green symbolizes hope and growth, while in others, it is associated with death, sickness, envy, or the devil. The most common associations, however, are found in its ties to nature. For example, Islam venerates the colour, as it expects paradise to be full of lush greenery. Green is also associated with regeneration, fertility and rebirth. Psychics who claim to be able to observe the aura with their third eye report that someone with a green aura is typically someone who is in an occupation related to health, such as a physician or nurse, as well as people who are lovers of nature and the outdoors. In Hinduism, Green is used to symbolically represent the fourth, heart chakra, Anahata. Key issues involving Anahata involve complex emotions, compassion, tenderness, unconditional love, equilibrium, rejection and well-being. Physically Anahata governs circulation, emotionally it governs unconditional love for the self and others, mentally it governs passion, and spiritually it governs devotion
