'Touching and Holding Hands'

In the movie Avatar, a powerful connection was activated when the Avatar people
plugged their pony-tails into the creatures they wanted to ride. Once they had
plugged in, the ride began.
Its exactly like that with hand reading. In taking a person’s hands in yours,
or by offering your hands to a hand reader, we unlock a force of energy via the
touching and holding. At the moment of touch, both reader and seeker open and
extend themselves. Kindness then ‘strikes like lightening’. Our energies
intertwine, connectivity is established, and the courageous leap into self
enquiry via the forms and markings of our hands begins.
Before you begin to analyse the meanings that are encoded in the markings of a
person’s hands, it is a good idea to shake their hand when first you meet. As
discussed in previous posts, the way people shake hands can be very revealing
and this might be your first physical contact. Of course the taking of the palm
prints also requires that we touch each other, so as to feel the skin texture
and to have a closer look at the hands.
But it is the gentle holding and stroking of hands in the beginning of a
reading (as well as intermittently throughout the process) that conveys
reassurance and even healing to the person.
