I have to keep reminding myself that I am not in charge here, that there is something much larger than me directing this show. The best I can do is observe what is going on around me – without judgment, and have some awareness of my innate stubbornness seducing me away from my challenges rather than going forward to meet them head on.

The blocks – that is where my attention needs to be. It seems that I need to recognize and move through the hard stuff, like fear of rejection and connecting more authentically with each person I meet. I am beginning to see that is the pathway to the fulfillment I am yearning for.

2011 is the year I will have the inspiration, the openness and self compassion to follow through and get to the other side of my personal challenges.

The promise of the unopened pink box – an excitement about what is in the box and looking forward to enjoying the tasty treat holds the attention of everyone present. The lid of the box is lifted with great anticipation only to find the box empty. There is only the brown cardboard interior . What a disappointment!
The pastry box metaphor was used about our relationship by a man I was with many years ago, and I recognized the truth of it. The relationship which had been so much fun, exciting and so promising had become plain brown cardboard.

I have wondered many times how that happened and have now come to understand that neither of us had any idea what we, personally, needed from each other, or even how to communicate – with each other or even ourselves, for that matter.

Now we all know how vitally important to a relationship that each party knows who they are, knows what they need and what they want.. And then to be honest with themselves and with each other about feelings.
This is a reminder that we must be true to ourselves, to be who we really are. Being able to ask for what we need, and keep our hearts open to experience all our feelings, even the difficult ones is what keeps all of our relationships, especially with ourselves, wonderful and alive.

Recently I have learned that collaboration with other people in business is so much fun!! I have joined forces with two beautiful and intuitive woman. Isabelle Choiniere-Correa is a clairvoyant tarot reader and Numerologist; Michelle Hobart is a very sensitive Astrologer and Energy Worker; and me, a Life purpose Hand Analyst. We call ourselves the OptiMystics. We each have a prospective from our own modality which is very compatible and supportive of each other’s work. This is a perfect collaboration.

We each continue to promote and grow our own businesses, and even that is enhanced by having each other in our lives. Everything we do together impacts all aspects of our businesses. Sharing the work, having others to brainstorm with, makes such a difference. Talking, laughing, sharing talent and contact lists – creating business under these conditions is so much fun.

I am all for finding compatible people and creating collaborations.

The swimming analogy is meant to say that your ‘school’ – the feelings, the style, the paradigms, defined by the life school you are in – permeates everything in your life.

Of course, we do relate to all of the Life Schools of Hand Analysis in some way or another, but do not experience it the same as the person who is predominantly in that school. The information in your palms is about personality, nervous system, motivation, etc..

For example, the heart line tells about our style of love and relationship, and the head line indicates how we process information.

There are many, many other factors associated with your hand that all come together to illuminate your Life Purpose as well as your Life Lesson.  More insights to come….

You were born with certain potentials, talents and challenges that guide and affect you  throughout your whole life.  All of these things are reflected in your hands.

The system of deciphering the code of finger print patterns was discovered by Richard Unger, who continues to research and work in Marin County, California.  While studying medical records, and reading thousands of pairs of hands, followed by studying every known palmistry traditions, Mr. Unger discovered the system we now refer to as modern hand analysis.

The basis of the system for decoding finger print patterns has four schools: Service, Love, Wisdom and Peace.  We are all at the university of life and we each specialize in one school, or a combination of  two or three schools for some people.

Your school permeates your whole life, colors everything you do, think, and feel.  If I use the analogy of swimming,your particular  school, as indicated in your hand, is like the water you swim in.

If you’re curious to find out which school you belong to, I do provide a complimentary consultation.  Please contact me to schedule an appointment.

Within a few minutes of examining your finger prints with good light and a good magnifying glass, I can give you the most profound and significant information: what you’re over-arching purpose in life is, along with the challenging issue that is for you to deal with and resolve. In other words, what is your right livelihood and how do you solve or avoid the same problems that keep coming up in life?

You will quickly recognize your purpose and lesson because you’ve been living it your whole life.  To feel so confirmed, and to hear language put to your deepest knowing about yourself is astounding!

You gain a new perspective of yourself and your life from a Hand Analysis.
