What do I find out in a session?

There are three complex interrelated systems in your hands that map-out your individual calling and your personal character.

Your Highest Potential

The first system is your Soul Psychology mapped in your unchangeable fingerprints.
Your fingerprints hold the answer to one of the greatest mysteries of life—your destiny. Formed five months before you were born and unchanging, your fingerprints reveal more than who you are physically, they also tell you about who you are at the deepest level of your being—the unique core state of consciousness you long to live in that makes your life feel meaningful—your Life Purpose. Your fingerprints are truly your blueprint for a fulfilling life, your very own Instruction Manual for Life. They tell the hidden story of your highest self trying to express itself at all times. It’s up to you to choose to live out your destiny…or to refuse it.

Your Blind Spot is Your Hidden Strength

Perhaps even more importantly, your fingerprints also tell you about the key to your Life Purpose—your Life Lesson—your “ally in disguise.” Your Life Lesson is the set of challenges you must consciously and consistently take on in order to be able to step into your Life Purpose fully over time. It’s the part of yourself you’d rather sweep under the rug and blind yourself to, but somehow it just keeps crawling back out, so you might as well own it, finally take this part of your disowned self in with kindness and compassion, and find out just how powerful and complete you are when you stop denying this part of yourself and tap into its hidden strength.

Discovering your Life Purpose/Life Lesson helps you to take charge of your life:

In Your Career

• stop guessing and know your calling or mission in life, beyond any self-doubts
• recognize your Life Lesson and stop sabotaging yourself unconsciously
• understand the nature of your ideal work life—what is meaningful work for you?
• see your highest potential and how to take immediate practical steps on it
• decide which way to go when you’re in a career transition or contemplating one
• gain clarity so you can step up to your next level of career potential—whether you work for someone else or run your own business

In Your Relationships

• see how your Life Purpose and Lesson are showing up and affecting your relationships
• take responsibility for your Life Lesson so you don’t dump it on your partner
• attract your right partner by stepping into your Purpose, which makes you your most attractive self
• stop expecting your relationship to save you, it can’t substitute for your Life Purpose
• heal your relationships by relaxing into yourself and letting others be themselves

  Knowing Your Life Purpose Helps You Live Your Life Purpose

• make better decisions in every moment of every day of your life
• stop fighting yourself and others and accept who you really are and step into your very best life
• gives you a clear sense of direction over time so you can aim yourself in the direction of meaning and fulfillment instead of boredom, frustration, and emptiness

Do the rest of my hands say anything about me?

Your hands are a treasure trove of information about every aspect of who you are. The shape and lines indicate your Personality Psychology. These aspects of your hands are changeable—just as you can change your behavior and the way you think and feel about things, your shape and lines make changes to reflect these dynamic patterns of your personality.

Shape

The overall shape of your hands represents the foundation of your personality. Are you primarily a thinker, feeler, doer, or people person? There are four primary hand shapes and most people have a combination of two types. If you look at several people's hands, you can easily see the differences among their shapes and see that people can be very different from one another.

In addition to this there are the lengths, segment shapes, settings, and spread of the fingers and thumb and the fleshy or depleted shapes of the various areas of your palm to take into account. By examining shape it is easy to see how you are using your energy budget—what you are paying most attention to—and how the various aspects of self are being "fed" or "starved" or if every part of you is being fed "just right." All aspects of your hand's shapes can and do make changes as you do.

Lines

The lines are the most complex system in the hands. They represent the sum total of your brain's processing over time and tell you about your character (which means "etched" as the lines are carved in your hands). They are your internal "wiring" system, your inner motivations, your inner self. Your lines tell you about your emotional and communication preferences, how your mind works, your orientation to your body and self-nurturance, and how you relate to family/group/society, among other things. Your lines may contain special gift markers denoting very specific talents you have which require use or they turn sour and make your life difficult indeed. All lines in your hands can make changes when you alter your internal habits of thinking, feeling, and/or fully being present in your body.

Understanding all three systems of your hands, and how they are working with and against each other, helps you become aware of your patterns—both conscious and unconscious— and how to play your strengths and work your challenges with awareness and self-acceptance so you can move fully into your Life Purpose.
