November 26, 2010
Hands event at 'Welcome Collection' (Nov 26, London)
Later today (November 26) the ‘Welcome Collection’ in London presents a ‘Hands’ event where you can get a palm reading! Imagine… how would your life look like without your hands? We sense, create and communicate with our hands. A social event for the incurably curious and celebrate these vital parts of our bodies across four floors of Wellcome Collection!!
From medicine to mesmerism, magic to mannerisms, visitors will find out about the curious history of digits, palms, fingers and thumbs, and put their own to use, as we celebrate the organs that shape the world around us. We will have scientists, artists, palmists and magicians at hand for discussions, performances and, of course, hands-on activities, all designed to make us look afresh at our body. ‘Manipulate’, ‘manoeuvre’ and ‘manufacture’ are all words deriving from the Latin word ‘manus’, meaning hand. These creative appendages allow us to make, touch and feel, but they also hold mystical and cultural significance. For one night only, visitors can explore a digital age that goes back millennia.

What is 5 Element Chirology?
Chirologist Jennifer Hirsch – founder of the Chirology Center of South Africa – presented last year her self-published book – titled: ‘God Given Glyphs’. An authentic pioneering book in the field of hand reading, which has been recognized by fellow (elemental) chirologers as a new milestone in the history of chirology! An authentic, dedicated book about modern hand reading, featured with a beautiful 3-dimensional cover. |
| Jennifer Hirsch positions ‘Five Elemental Chirology’ follows:
The unique character of ‘Five Element Chirology’ lies in the origins of ancient Buddhism. The Buddhistic philosophy describes how “the principle of graduated materiality” manifests through the four elements ‘earth’, ‘water’, ‘fire’, and ‘air’ are graduates from the fifth element ‘chi’. Where ‘chi’ represents the highest teachings of love, compassion and foregiveness. ‘Five Element Chirology’ describes how the five Buddhistic elements can be studied through the shape and features of the hands. READ FURTHER ABOUT OTHER ASPECTS OF CHIROLOGY: In ‘Five Element Chirology’ each finger relates to one of the 5 Buddhistic elements. |
“The term ‘chirology’ describes the collective global body – both ancient and modern – of all facets of the knowledge and study of the forms and markings of the human hand. Consequently, there exist today various other Wester and Eastern systems of chirological hand analysis, including traditional European palmistry.”

Hand analyst Hart de Fouw reads hands in San Rafael, California (US) Expertises: FULL PROFILE: |
Hart de Fouw started studying the Vedic culture in India, and in 1973 he met K.L. Mantri. Since then he started learning to master the core of the Vedic culture – including the vedic hand reading system, called: ‘Hasta Samudrika Shastra’.
On his website Hart de Fouw writes:
“Hasta Samudrika (very loosely “hand analysis”) is a powerful ally of Jyotish. But it enjoys one great advantage over Jyotish: Rapid Accessibility, when properly taught. Because it naturally complements other disciplines like psychology and alternative health care, counselors and their clients in many fields benefit by the information derived through hand analysis.”

Barack Obama: hand reading of power
Barack Obama will soon get his hands on the most powerful job in the Western world. And those hands might reveal a lot about what Barack Obama will do with the power in his hands. Lori Reid, an expert author in hand reading & palmistry, has examined the hand lines on Barack Obama’s hand palm, as well as the length and width of his fingers – this hand reader believes she has Obama’s personality all worked out. Miss Reid says that Mr Obama’s left hand has extraordinarily long fingers and a long palm. “This hand shape fits into a category known as The Water Hand and is a common feature of artists, writers and thinkers”, she says. In the full article – see the first article below – Lori Reid makes 18 comments about Barack Obama’s left hand (Obama is left-handed) – in which she explains how Obama will likely use his power!

Psychodiagnostic chirology in psychoanalysis & therapy!
November 24, 2008
 Psychodiagnostic chirology is a milestone in the history of modern hand reading! |
What is psychodiagnostic chirology? Founder Arnold Holtzman from Yehud (Israel) describes this advanced system of hand analysis as : ‘The Science of Handreading in Psychological Diagnosis’. In 1983 Holtzman presented his first book ‘Applied Handreading’, and in 2004 he presented his masterpiece: ‘The Illustrated Textbook of Psychodiagnostic Chirology in Analysis and Therapy’. |
| Psychodiagnostich Chirology (PDC) is described by Holtzman in his second book as follows:
“From its somewhat esoteric origins in the medical-genetic science of dermatoglyphics, Psychodiagnostic Chirology (PDC) has evolved to become one of the most powerful and dramatic tools available to professional therapists in the behavioral sciences today.” Interestingly, Holtzman has positioned PDC in line with the theoretical conceptualizations and clinical orientation described by various famous 20th century figures in the history of modern psychology, like for example: Sigmund Freud (1856-1939) and Abraham Maslow (1908-1970). The picture below describes the theoretic framework which is described in PDC of the human hand. The model includes two polar dimensions which are very related to the Psychoanalysis described by Freud (‘CONSCIOUS vs. SUBCONSCIOUS’ and ‘MIND vs. BODY’).
