As human beings we are truly amazing, and we only understand a fraction of how we function and the complexity behind it. The human body appears to be a hologram, meaning that the whole is seen in its parts. The application of this can be seen in iridology, where the health of the organs is mirrored in the iris of the eye. Auricular medicine (acupuncture on the ear) and reflexology (points on the soles of the feet), are more examples of how the rest of the body is mirrored in one of its parts.

So it should come as no surprise that the body part that truly sets us apart from the animal kingdom, our hands, with its fingers and opposing thumb, also represents the whole of our being.

Hand Analysis Is Not Fortune Telling

Hand Analysis is nothing new, it is believed to date back as far as 5000 - 1000 years ago in the ancient cultures of Egypt, China and India. A desire to interpret the lines in our hands has been around for almost as long as us humans. Unfortunately, unscrupulous fortune telling has destroyed its reputation, and the public may not at first be aware of the difference between palmistry and the science based Hand Analysis.

Before I go any further in this article, I would like to make sure you understand that Hand Analysis is NOT about fortune telling, and it can NOT tell you how long you'll live or how many children you will have. Now, with that out of the way, let's see what the hands CAN tell you.

The lines in your hands are closely connected with the activity in your brain, and they change over time. The lines reveal your personality, your thinking style, blockages and more. Your fingerprints on the other hand, never change and are completely formed 16 weeks after conception. The fingerprints reveal your soul psychology, or where you find higher meaning in your life. This discovery was made by Richard Unger, the founder of the International Institute for Hand Analysis. The prints on your fingertips are like a topographical map waiting to be interpreted.

The fingerprints not only reveal your life purpose, but also your life lesson and your life school. Let's take a closer look at these revelations.

1. Life Purpose

The life purpose is about what you are here to do in a bigger sense, and it means connecting with what makes your life feel meaningful and fulfilling. Your life purpose should not be confused with your goals, like starting a family or owning your own business. The life purpose connects to your astral body, where you soul and higher desire function lies.

2. Life Lesson

Your life lesson is the inverse of your life purpose. It is a blessing in disguise. This is where you tend to get stuck repeatedly, and where the same theme is played out with different scenarios in your life. By overcoming your life lesson you will move towards your life purpose.

3. Life School

The life school represents the type of experiences you are here to work on, and you will be served plenty of opportunities to refine this skill. Having the insight to see this bigger picture will help you get it right. The four life schools are Service, Wisdom, Love and Peace. For example, the School of Love is about "Emotional Authenticity".

5 Ways a Life Purpose Reading Will Help You Move Forward

1. Validation

Knowing your life purpose gives you the courage to be and do what you are called to. This is especially helpful for those whose family or a societal pressure gets them into a career they don't resonate with.

2. Objective Information

Your life purpose is not someone's opinion; it is about straight communication with your soul, or higher self. The life purpose reading is an objective way for you to connect with your potential.

3. Empowers & Inspires

When you know your life purpose you are empowered and inspired to take action with certainty in a direction that will help you be true to yourself. The information in your hands is all positive, even the life lesson is good news.

4. Get Unstuck

Knowing your life lesson deflates its power. You are able to see "through" it and not let it stand in your way, at least not for long...

5. Direction & Clarity

Having your purpose revealed gives you direction and clarity. One of the most painful experiences human beings can have is to be lost and not knowing who we are, where we are going or why we are here. Once you learn your life purpose, you connect with what you are here to do. The bonus it that you will love doing what you are here to do! That love will fuel you from a dynamic energy source; dynamic energy is the kind of energy that never runs out.
