Just Say NO!

What if I told you that your Life Purpose - your highest meaning point, the area of greatest success - was to learn to say NO with grace, kindness and ease?

[For those who wonder where we as Hand Analysts find Life Purpose possibilities - you can pinpoint your Life Purpose in your Finger Prints.]

Really? One Life Purpose possibility is to Just Say No enough? Yes, so that you can be free to joyfully and selflessly serve yourself and others equally. Wait a minute. Serve yourself selflessly. This doesn't make sense does it? If your Soul Agenda is to learn to serve without resentment, obligation, guilt, burnout, anger, codependence .... you get the idea .... then serving yourself/selfcare is a healthy, giving and essential act. Otherwise, you will being saying NO in black letters on an angry hand!

Client story: I have a client whose Life Purpose is to say NO and a subcategory of this is to say no so she can be free to serve and make a difference as a communicator in the spotlight. After 3 sessions with me, she was blocked about "just what is Life Purpose; it seems so foggy to me. I am writer and have some reknown, I know that, but it seems as if something is missing". She admits she if burned out and over obligated and can't say NO enough. (If you look at the list above, she was feeling ALL of it! )
We focused the whole session on how it feels to say no to loved ones and family members especially. She gave me a fabulous story: While on vacation, she was in her doing too much - no time for selfcare and rest dance. Finally, she said no to a close family member who really wanted her to go to an event she had been in charge of organizing. My client said no and stayed in bed with a book. She admitted that she leaped up 2 or 3 times (out of guilt) to dress to go anyway. But she resisted and said it was the best thing she had done for herself in a long time. When the relative returned, the evening was filled excitement; she was thrilled to regale my client with all the stories and my client received them with pleasure vs resentment and obligation.

I said that it is easy as that. If you say NO enough, the rest of your journey will be paved with possibilities and with clarity.

Life Purpose is a conscious awareness. A journey from the unconscious to the conscious. Noticing, asking why and how, wondering, being curious. This is the only way to feed your higher path. If you would like to move to the next level, a good start is knowing what you fingerprints tell you. Visit my website for more on the story.
Consider ordering a LifePrints Report - a 15 - 20 page report on your Soul Agenda including your Life Purpose.

You say you want to know the future? Tell me more......

To know whether you should by a lottery ticket? To prepare for your perfect mate? To grieve and worry now? To sell or buy a stock? To make the most out your now confirmed short life? What would be your reason?

As a Hand Analyst, I do not predict your future. Disappointed? Read on. Although there are past event markers in your hands, I do not need to know your history. As to the future, I help you grow possibilities by planting you firmly in the present in YOU, in self acceptance, in the best soil for your soul and your nature.

As a diagnostician and storyteller, it is my job to help you access what is already inside you. Using your fingerprints and your hands, I give you an accurate map to discover your Life Purpose at the soul level along with key factors that keep you from living it. There is no specific goal other than a life lived more authentically. This involves preliminary identification, tracking to increase awareness and consistent support/guidance as needed to assist you to live a more conscious and fulfilling life through your unique soul’s expression.

Predictive Palmists and Psychics CAN tell your future. Our investigation shows that accuracy stands at about 40%. Do you want those odds? These intuitive practitioners use hands as well as etheric elements to see into the future and if they are right, then enjoy the ride to this future.

Are you giving your power away by asking for a peek into the future? Why not take the reins and do what it takes to identify, track and live YOU fully in the present - you will be prepared for anything in the future.

The Child Will Be Great ......

This is the title of the recent memoir by Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, President of Liberia.

After I heard her interviewed, I was reminded of the old debate about nature vs nuture, about Free Will (the power of acting without the constraint of necessity or fate; the ability act at one's own discretion) vs Fate (the development of events beyond a person's control, regarded as determined by a supernatural power). President Johnson-Sirleaf claims that as a child a visitor came to her family's village and said that she was born to be great. [Of course, they did not mention the difficult path she would inevitably walk down.]

Does this mean that if someone came to your village and told you that you were born to be average and boring that that is it? No options? Your Fate is sealed?

As a Hand Analyst, I run into this fate thing - "that's the way my story has gone, no changing it" often enough. When you understand Life Purpose as a soul imprint from your fingerprints, you can begin to understand that it is a kind of conciousness and awareness learned and developed. You are not born an "Artist" or a "Patriarch" - 2 examples of Life Purpose according to the fingerprints - and live it from day one. You are born to learn about the higher consciousness of this path through trial and error. You can be it, live it or live in the absolute opposite all of your life. This is YOUR CHOICE.

So - your choice means you have free will. If a soothsayer comes to your village and says you are to be an ordinary laborer, this does not seal the deal. You get to choose your life in accordance with your soul imprint or contract and by strengthening the true nature of your personality which is reflected in the rest of your hands. Be true to your self and believe that you have a choice. Make the most of your natural potential while learning life's lessons from the nurture (or lack thereof!) experience.

All comments are welcome. This is a juicy topic.

Hands are Your Business

Let your hands remind you of what you need to thrive in business in these uncertain times.

For the past 3 years, Isabelle Choiniere-Correa, Intuitive Coach and a colleague of mine, have run workshops for small business owners who are body, mind and soul practitioners. The feedback was so good that we decided (now that I am on the East Coast and she on the West) to develop a guidebook and accompanying CD's that will contain the strategies, tools and exercises that were used in this training.

We will be offering a FREE Teleseminar in the late Spring to introduce you to the benefits of this journey. Stay tuned for: Create Success From the Inside Out: An eight-week journey to propel your business to the next level.

Are you an entrepreneur? Do you want to know if you are being true to your personality strengths and finding ways to support those areas that are not so strong right now? Can't wait for our guidebook to be produced? I have a teaser for you. It's an exercise best designed to do in partnership - an easy and fun way to self determine your strongest and weakest zones. See the previous two blog entries for more information on the Zones. And here is the practical application of the "Spiritual Warrior" concepts.

Contact me and I will send you the exercise for FREE. If you need further guidance, we can discuss what works best for you. This is a great way to see if you are on track and tending to business using all of your talents.

Hands and the Spiritual Warrior
The Power and Magic of our Hands-Part III, B

You can not be a spirit without a body. You can not lead a life full of soul consciousness without concrete personality expression.

In part A of Hands and the Spiritual Warrior, I summarized the 4 distinct ways that a person must build strength to become a Spiritual Warrior. The Spiritual Warrior is Matthew Fox's term. I want to add another concept to this: these steps help us to master Spiritual Intelligence. Both are about an advanced courage. Fingerprint Analysts might argue that spiritual intelligence is gleaned and grown through your Soul Journey as revealed in your fingerprints not in our hands. I too am a Fingerprint Analyst and agree. Your hands (shape, lines, finger length) are your personality palette, however, and are the vehicle for this soul expression. Being true to your personality type and understanding what it takes to stay in balance are essential to living a fulfilled life and to embody your unique soul consciousness.


Let's expand on Matthew Fox's earlier entry - the 4 steps to strengthen your journey using the 4 regions of the hand as shown in the 4 colored ovals.

A colleague and I have developed an easy and fun way to self determine your strongest and weakest zones. In the next blog entry, I'll offer this exercise for free. If you want more of an interpretation, I can do this for you at a small cost.

1. The Via Positiva (VENUS)
This is the zone of the body, of family and friends, of sensuality and beauty - the active femine. "This is the way of celebrating life, of seeing the world with its beauty and goodness, its grace and generosity—and being open to seeing more. This is the way of reverence, respect and gratitude. It’s the way of original blessing, whereby we live out the truth that the universe and life itself, for all the struggle and pain they dispense, have birthed us as individuals and communities with what we need for happiness and for sharing joy."

Questions: How often do you laugh? How easily can you stay in your body in the present? Are you aware of your breath right now? (These are just a few of the questions I ask clients when I see a deplted Venus zone)

2. The Via Negativa (the MOON)
The Moon is the passive feminine- the vessel of intuition,deep feelings, imagination, the zone of deep meaning.
"The Via Negativa goes into the darkness, the wounds, the pain and silence and solitude of existence to find what we have to learn there. It’s a way of letting go and letting be, of emptying and being emptied, of moving beyond judgment and beyond control, and learning to breathe, to sit, to be still, to dwell in silence, to taste nothingness without flinching and, ultimately, to focus. It’s the way of grieving. Without grief we can’t move on to the next stage, one of giving birth. The warrior faces death and, because he or she has, loves life more passionately", that is can move to Venus more easily and more fully.

Questions: How often can you stop to listen to your still silent voice? Are you afraid of the dark literally and figuratively? Are you stuck creatively? Do you turn to unhealthy outlets to avoid your deep pain?

3. The Via Creativa. (APOLLO and MERCURY)

"Having fallen in love with life often (Via Positiva) and having been emptied and learned to let go and let be numerous times (Via Negativa), the spiritual warrior is ready to give birth. Creativity is the weapon, the sword, of the spiritual warrior—who is mother as well as father, and who digs deep into a wellspring of wildness that provides the energy for new life, connections, images and moral imagination by which to change things in a deep, not superficial, way. The true warrior is a co-creator, a worker with Spirit, a worker for Spirit. The warrior’s hands are the hands of Spirit at work; the warrior’s mind is seized by Spirit precisely in the work of creativity. As 13th century Catholic philosopher and theologian St. Thomas Aquinas put it, “The same Spirit that hovered over the waters at the beginning of creation hovers over the mind of the artist at work.” Every warrior is an artist at work for the people that they might live."
This is the zone of creative communication - Apollo and Mercury joined. When strong they enable us to communicate passion and deep meaning with clarity and joy. This requires vulnerability and willingness to expose our truth - both intimate acts. If the zones are challenged, the fear of these things may be so strong that healthy relationships and true, authentic expression are strangled and weakened.

Questions: Do you shy away from the spotlight for fear of being burned? Do you tend to isolate and withdraw instead of asking for support and understanding? Do you have challenges in the relationship realm? Do you feel that you are not heard - no one is listening?



4. The Via Transformativa (SATURN and JUPITER)
"Claims to artistry and to creativity and to co-creation need to be tested. The Spirit requires discernment and evaluation. The primary test for claims of spirit work is that of justice and compassion. Does the work I’m doing pass the justice test? Does it fill gaps between haves and have-nots or make the chasm deeper? Does it contribute to healing and empowerment of the powerless or re-establish the privileges of the few at the expense of the many?" These are all questions and values embodied by Saturn and Jupiter, including discernment, evaluation, fairness, judgment. Jupiter is about taking action from a place of empowerment vs entitlement so that others may be empowered. Saturn is the great judge, the moral compass of balance and fairness, of appropriate action. Many who have challenges in these areas have issues of I am not enough or power struggles or poor relationships to money and influence.

Questions: Do you ever find your self saying "I can't and I won't" because of self doubt? Do you over accommodate or rearrange your desires out of guilt? Are you constantly struggling with money? Do you find that promises are broken either yours or those around you?


Stay tuned for the self assessment that can help you balance your personal and work life so that your Soul Consciousness can lead you to a more fulfilling life full of joy, health and intimacy.

Hands and the Spiritual Warrior
The Power and Magic of our Hands-Part III, A

I recently read an article by Matthew Fox in Ode Magazine about the hidden spirituality of men. Fox talks about the distinct ways a noble (or spiritual) warrior develops his or her strength based on the creation spirituality tradition.

The four steps he describes seemed very familiar. They have a striking parallel to the four main regions of the hand. As a Hand Analyst, I frequently talk about balancing imbalances that appear in the hand. A necessary starting point is to spend time exploring the meaning of these four regions. As I describe the Fours Steps in brief, I will indicate the corresponding region in the hand. In Part III B (my next post), I will expand on the meaning of these regions of the hand as represented by the 4 colored ovals in the hand below.


1. The Via Positiva (VENUS) This is the way of celebrating life, of seeing the world with its beauty and goodness, its grace and generosity—and being open to seeing more. This is the way of reverence, respect and gratitude. It’s the way of original blessing, whereby we live out the truth that the universe and life itself, for all the struggle and pain they dispense, have birthed us as individuals and communities with what we need for happiness and for sharing joy.

2. The Via Negativa (the MOON) The Via Negativa goes into the darkness, the wounds, the pain and silence and solitude of existence to find what we have to learn there. It’s a way of letting go and letting be, of emptying and being emptied, of moving beyond judgment and beyond control, and learning to breathe, to sit, to be still, to dwell in silence, to taste nothingness without flinching and, ultimately, to focus. It’s the way of grieving. Without grief we can’t move on to the next stage, one of giving birth. The ancient German theologian, Meister Eckhart von Hochheim, calls the process of letting go “eternal.” The warrior faces death and, because he or she has, loves life more passionately.

3. The Via Creativa. (APOLLO and MERCURY) Having fallen in love with life often (Via Positiva) and having been emptied and learned to let go and let be numerous times (Via Negativa), the spiritual warrior is ready to give birth. Creativity is the weapon, the sword, of the spiritual warrior—who is mother as well as father, and who digs deep into a wellspring of wildness that provides the energy for new life, connections, images and moral imagination by which to change things in a deep, not superficial, way. The true warrior is a co-creator, a worker with Spirit, a worker for Spirit.

Why all these lines in my palm? What about the color? My fingers bend. Why?
The Power and Magic of our Hands-Part II
Take a look at your palms and fingers right now. Compare them to another family member, friend and neighbor. Are you beginning to notice differences. I guarantee it or" your money back".

Take a look at the creature depicted above. Note that the hands and mouth dominate. These proportions tell us how much information is coming from the brain to different parts of the body. As you bump up against life, change, have new experiences, your brain changes. The term is neuroplasticity. So it is a no brainer to make the connection - lots of information is coming from your brain into your hands. So, the color (emotional state at a point in time), the bend in your fingers (how you have responded to bumps in the road), your lines (how you emote, how you think, your drive and direction over time) and the list goes on.....are simply reflecting your brain's natural or immediate response to life.

As I have noted in an earlier entry, your fingerprints never change. They are indelibly imprinted 5 months before your were born. Everything else in your hands, on the other hand, can change over time.

This makes for a rich story as your Soul Map (in the fingerprints) is attempting to find the right path for expression on a terrain that is often shifting (your hands).

Share your observations with me. Do you have a special bend in your fingers,red sections of your palm or are they over all a little yellow? Start noticing and comparing. You'll be amazed. Amaze us with some of your findings!
