Hand Analysis
|
Rita Fasel's partner, the doctor and author Ruediger Dahlke, was so impressed by her knowledge of foot and hand-reading that together they decided to compile this ancient knowledge about our roots in written form along with knowledge about the various forms of expression of our hands. In this respect, Rita’s friendship with Pascal Stössel, the Swiss expert in hand-reading, certainly came in “handy”; acting as a kind of third member of the team, he provides a sample interpretation of the hands of both authors as an insightful alternative to more traditional forms of introduction. Rita Fasel has complemented Pascal’s expertise in reading the essential life tasks of a person from the prints of their fingertips by additionally including interpretations of the overall form of each fingertip, the (arche)typical meaning of each individual finger, the element pattern of the whole hand and other significant aspects of form and expression, right down to the interpretation of certain rings on certain fingers. In actual fact, not all of us are equipped with the sensitive touch; instead, most of us attempt to grasp things in a more diplomatic way with rounded fingers that seem to have been more or less sanded smooth, while others approach life with rough edges and sharp pointedness. All of these aspects of form have their own meaning and are assigned their appropriate sign-ificance in the book.
In addition, the issue of left vs right-handedness is also given new and deeper significance, because if we are forced to handle life with a different hand than that handed to us by Fate, we can soon find ourselves handicapped. |

If however, of the more than 30% of the Swiss population who would naturally be left-handed, 10% of them are not even aware of this, this means that a frighteningly large number of people must have been switched to the opposite pole very early on and have in this way been disoriented for life. Instead of tackling things with the easy creativity often associated with natural-born left-handers, they are left handicapped with the same clumsiness as a right-hander with two left hands. In this respect, simple exercises that are also described in the book can help to provide orientation and relief.
Co-author Ruediger Dahlke, who - given that he is a relative newcomer to the art of foot-and handreading - this time had more the role of a writer than an expert, compared the results of foot and hand analyses with those obtained from psychotherapy sessions with patients in recent years and was surprised both with regard to the coherency as well as the simplicity of the method . |
