Hand Analysis is a valuable way to learn more about yourself. As you get to know yourself through Hand Analysis, you can discover your best skills, gifts, talents, strengths, and put them all to work more effectively. Focusing on your natural strengths will allow you to feel better about yourself, and enjoy more successes. With this new self-understanding you will have more power to make your life be the way you want it to be.

When we do Hand Analysis on other people we help them understand their unique personal qualities. We can do this because physical form follows function. It is simple: hard workers have hard bodies; people who are tired look tired; alive and energetic people reflect that look. This principle, refined to a fine degree, allows a Hand Analyst to look at hands and determine a lot about how a person functions in the world.

For example, you will probably see a much longer and stronger than usual index finger on the hand of a person with a strong sense of personal power. She or he undoubtedly is often pointing, and maybe even shaking, her or his index finger in conversation to express strong emphasis and personal power. At the same time other areas in the hands may be underdeveloped. A trained Hand Analyst can see these physical indicators in the hands and determine personal qualities of a client.

As Hand Analysts, we have a duty to show diplomatically and simply what characteristics we see in a person's hand. The Hand Analyst can best serve the client by tactfully and honestly pointing out personal strengths and weaknesses, as evident in the hands' strong and weak areas. Remember: The most important step to success is self-understanding. As you practice Hand Analysis, you will soon discover that your role automatically becomes that of both Hand Analyst and teacher. You really can help individuals reach a higher level of personal growth. At the same time you may find great satisfaction as you more fully and efficiently use the teacher, counsellor, and healer parts of yourself.

As you study each principle in the book, "It's All In Your Hands", remember that no one indicator by itself is conclusive. You must combine the indicators you see in both hands to make an accurate analysis. Fortunately, the more you practice Hand Analysis, the more you will find yourself naturally operating in your right brain hemisphere. That is when you will amaze yourself and clients with incredible and profound insights and revelations. It just happens! I have seen this phenomena with myself and my students and believe anyone can do it. It won't take long before you will find yourself doing extremely rewarding Hand Analysis.
