The 5 Biggest Misconceptions about Hand Analysis...and How to Avoid Them!
Author: Elizabeth Davis
1. "You Don't Really Believe in That Stuff, Do You?"
The ONLY people who say this are the people who know
NOTHING about hand analysis. Don't let this be you. (Yes, I
admit it - this is my pet peeve question.) Only ignorance
can cause a person to belittle something they know nothing
about. (Please feel free to use this as comfort if you are
ever confronted by unfounded derision toward something you
love.)
As a hand analyst, I practice both an art that is over
5,000 years old and a science that is being updated daily
as more and more is being discovered about the link between
the brain and the hands. Frank Wilson, a well-regarded
neuroscientist, studied hand analysis at the same school I
did and he references our brilliant teacher, Richard Unger,
in his book, aptly entitled, "The Hand."
2. "Can You Tell Me How Long I'm Going to Live?"
No. I can't. As a hand analyst, I don't make predictions.
You are the best prognosticator for your future. Your
choices have the power to alter your course or keep it
moving straight ahead. My job is to help you remember the
essence of who you are, inspire you to reclaim your birth
right, and empower you to live your life purpose without
excuses or apologies. I'm not going to do you the
disservice of planting a prediction in your head for you to
obsess over. Where's the power in that?
3. "You're Not Going to Tell Me Anything Bad, Are You?"
For the record, there is nothing "bad" in the hands. I see
everything as a positive. If you have a gift, that's a
positive. If you're not using the gift, you'll experience a
challenge. As Richard Unger says, this challenge is merely
an AFGO - "another f'in growth opportunity." :-) It's all
about learning. To me, the only truly "bad" thing is to not
learn from your successes and failures. To repeat
unflattering behavioral patterns - now that's bad.
4. "Do You Actually Earn a Living Doing This?"
Yes, I do. I currently have a six-figure income reading
hands and then coaching my clients so they can utilize the
hand analysis information pro-actively and practically in
their everyday lives. I developed the coaching protocol on
my own when clients saw me out again and again for
understanding and clarity.
5. "You Went to School For This?!"
Yes, I studied for a year at the International Institute of
Hand Analysis in Marin County, California to become a
certified hand analyst. Sometimes people think I can see
all that I do in a person's hands because of something I
learned during my travels abroad or that I have a special
"gift." If only it were that simple. It does require a love
of human interaction and a curiosity about the human
psyche, to be sure, but what has given me authority to
reveal the intimate details in your life is your hands. And
I had to study - and I continue to study - to stay on my
toes.
Okay. Glad I got that off my chest. Thanks for reading.
