Are you missing mother’s milk? (hand analysis tip)

Jena Griffiths — Fri, 17 Jun 2011 07:13:04 +0000

In her novel A Mercy Toni Morrison writes about a enslaved girl called Florens whose mother gives her away at an early age to a kindly stranger because she thinks it’ll give her daughter a better life than the one she herself has. Years later the girl gets her chance but she misses completely because it requires of her nurturing instincts; that she become mother – to a young boy adopted by the man she loves. Never having been mothered herself she sees the child as a competitor and the consequences are tragic.

This is an extreme version of what hand analysts call “missing mother’s milk”.

In my last post I wrote about “too much mommy.”
This is the opposite extreme.

When you are desperately in need of “mother’s milk” ;
self care and TLC from yourself if not your original mother.

How does a need for positive mothering show in your hand?

Take a look at the shape of the outer edge of your palm in the area between the thumb and your wrist. Called the Venus area of the hand.
Is this area concave and blue? Or is it well rounded, fleshy and filled out?
When this part of your hand starts to concave in it means it’s time to put your need for extreme self care and self nurturing on the front burner.

How to do this?

Play.

Here’s what “missing mother’s milk” looks like. Note the indent, as if a bite has been taken from this part of the hand.

This weekend Itzhak Beery will be in Zurich offering a workshop on mother healing.
more info here.

More about Toni Morrison’s A Mercy?
Morrison’s story is a fascinating exploration of human slavery because she sets the novel in a time period before slavery becomes linked to race. And she explores this landscape from an interior perspective.
What makes a person a slave?
Watch out for a forthcoming post on this and how it shows up in hands.

More about Richard Moss

Richard Moss is internationally respected as a visionary thinker, teacher and author of six books on transformation, self-healing, and the art of conscious living.
More than 30 years ago, he left the practice of medicine after a life-changing realization to dedicate his life to help others realize their multidimensional nature and achieve self-mastery. His teaching bridges science, psychology, energy medicine, and spiritual/awareness practices. He is most well known for the deep experiential nature of his work where people learn holistically with their mind, body, and feelings.

His philosophy is entirely pragmatic: work on consciousness must alleviate human suffering and address the root causes of why and how we create so much conflict in ourselves and our world.

His books include: The I That is We (1981), How Shall I Live (1985), The Black Butterfly (1986), The Second Miracle: Intimacy Spirituality and Conscious Relationships (1995), Words That Shine Both Ways (1997),
The Mandala of Being: Discovering the Power of Awareness (2007) and hot off the press – Inside-Out Healing (2011).

His works have been translated into Spanish, French, German, and Danish.

For over thirty years Dr. Moss has taught in North America, South America, Europe and Australia. He has been interviewed in magazines and newspapers worldwide, and has presented at numerous conferences and at such institutions as Harvard University, Stanford University, University of Chicago Medical School, U.C.L.A., U.C. Berkeley, American University, Washington DC, Georgetown University, and John F. Kennedy University.

Richard Moss Seminars organizes and coordinates the conferences, talks, and seminars taught by Dr. Moss, as well as producing all of his audio and video materials. Three Mountain Foundation, a California not-for-profit charity, was founded in 1984 to support Richard’s work by providing scholarships and interest free loans to individuals in financial need who wish to attend his seminars.

Richard lives in Ojai, California, with his wife Ariel. They have three grown children.

On re-dreaming your life: Eyjafjallajokull

Jena Griffiths — Sun, 02 May 2010 10:27:07 +0000

I’m in the pooh again. Along with everyone else living in rural Switerland.

Why?

The farmers have come out of hibernation and are spraying the stuff at us from all angles. Even though, only the other day, we were all given heaps of high quality fertilizer from Iceland. Absolutely free, without even lifting a finger.

I think its called obligatory abundance.

Actually they let the cows back out to play on the same day aeroplanes were allowed back in the skies above. So, after 6 glorious days of silence, suddenly the sounds we normally take for granted all arrived back on our doorstep in one jangled tangle.

To tune you in to my wavelength, I’ve made a recording for you. (See link on my previous post). Download it absolutely free and play it on your ipod or in your car so you can tune in to the pristine energies of the Swiss Alps. (A word of warning: Listen to it at your own risk! : )) You might start thinking like me!)

And run out into the street naked, like Archimedes, shouting ‘Eyjafjallajokull. Eyjafjallajokull.’

So what does Eyjafjallajokull have to do with re-dreaming your life?

And what does it mean anyway?

Eyjafjallajokull means no man is an island

It sounds a bit like ‘Eye-a-all-full-a-your-coal’

and that’s basically what it means.

Eyjafjallajokull is a wakeup call from Mother nature.

Not a war cry but a tiny burp. A polite hiccup. Just enough to shatter our rose-tinted illusions.

Of what?

Our illusion that we are separate islands.

Our illusion that we are in control

Our illusion of permanence. that things will and ought to stay the same.

Our illusion that we are not of this world or in it.

Eyjafjallajokull means embrace the paradox:

We are separate and one at the same time.

We’re in charge and we’re not.

Change is what this planet is all about.

Expect the unexpected.

Earth is evolving and taking us with her.

We’re becoming more sensitive to our connectedness.

Our thoughts influence our emotions and our emotions influence the entire collective field.

It’s your and my responsibility not to contaminate the collective field.

Or as Richard Moss puts it: “The most basic form of service you can do is take responsibility for your own mind.”

That may sound very well in theory but how about some practical tools?

How do we deal with negative feelings?

Here’s some of the best advice offered:

1. Guy Finely: Just don’t go there!

2. Use EFT tapping

3. USe Byron katie’s 4 questions.

4. Use Gratitude as a simple and effective tool. Richard Moss: Every negative thought (jealousy, anger, aggression, fear) is a measure of our distance away from the present. Gratitude is a way of coming back into now. Feel gratitude even though you don’t know why. Moss says, we can’t escape feeling fear and we’re not meant to. But we can choose not to make fear-driven choices.

5. Here’s a practicle from David Richo called “the two handed practice”:

“I can hold my fear in one hand and my commitment to no longer act in a fear-based way in the other”. Actually you can use this technique in any conflicting situation. Holding cupped hands out, palms upward. I hold my problem in the one hand and my power to work with it in the other. I hold my unloved situation and all the pain of it in the one hand and breathe into it and in the other my ability to rise above it.

You can do this with any marker in your hand. The positive and negative sides of what I call your inner friends. You hold the light side in one hand and the shadow in the other. Knowing you can always choose.

(Zen master Genpo Roshi uses a similar technique. Acknowledging and then synthesizing opposites. So does my hand analysis teacher, Richard Unger, which he calls the Goldilocks principle: Too much, too little , just right.

The” just right” state of any quality is what I call an “Inner Friend”. The too much or too little states ar your inner enemies.

Eyjafjallajokull Fall out

Feeling dizzing, confused, sleepless?

If you’re highly sensitive you’ll be feeling the ramifications of mother nature’s upset tummy long before everyone else. You might want to read Tom Kenyon’s message on this plus access to his new sound track for bringing you in tune with the future. http://tomkenyon.com/evolutionary-opportunities-within-the-chaotic-node It’s a wonderful recording. Sounds a bit like whales humping volcanoes or vice versa. I’m listening to it as I write to you. I find it really helps me concentrate!

Re-dreaming your life. Part 4. Ride the tiger.

Jena Griffiths — Sun, 14 Feb 2010 22:31:44 +0000

What I really love about Chinese New Year is that it gives you a valid
excuse to press re-set and start the new year all over again, slap bang
in the middle of February.

Did you know, today is the first day of the year of the Tiger?

Image by law_keven via Flickr

But this year is really unusual because it’s also Valentines day.

So what does that mean?
Time to open your heart and activate your inner tiger at the same time.

Sounds like a contradiction?

How about -

Be fierce and brave about listening to your heart.

And then what?

Free yourself.

How?
Press purge.

Chuck out everything in your life that doesn’t make you feel good or
boost your energy.

This includes stuff, people, food, habits, ideas, beliefs, rules,
expectations…. even valid excuses. The stories we tell ourselves why
we can’t have what we want.

I listened to a fascinating interview the other day with Sue Rasmussen,
who said that the real clutter in your life is actually invisible! This
is the stuff that looks perfect on the surface but isn’t because it
drains your energy for one reason or another. (Stuff you’re keeping
because you feel you have to. It cost a bomb/ granny gave it to
you/ it’s irreplaceable….)

She also said that visible clutter is useful because it shows you what
ideas or things you’re resisting letting go of.

So what to do?
Pick up each item in your home and tune into your heart not your head.
Ask, “How does this thing make me feel? Then throw out everything that
doesn’t make your heart sing.

The same applies to people. Sometimes it looks like a person’s life is
full of friends but this is just window dressing.

Do you have the courage to let go of people you’re hanging onto for all
the wrong reasons?
Or anyone who doesn’t support your higher vision of yourself? Even old
friends or family? Can you love yourself by saying no to people who make
unreasonable demands on you? Can you do this and still keep your heart
open to them?

Call on your inner tiger to help you.

By letting go of the old, you make space for the new.

A great tool for activating love + tiger is the little big book by
Miguel Ruiz called The four agreements. It’s one of the most important
books ever written and it’s really quick to read.

How does clutter or resistance show up in your hands?

Clutter shows up as a grill or box. Where it is in your hand indicates
exactly where the energy is blocked in your life.

If you haven’t had your hands analysed yet now’s the time.

I’ll be consulting in Aarau on 24 February. To book, email Laurene
Schärer laurene@europe.com. Elsewhere bookings@handanalysisonline.com

Be brave this year. Open to love. Wake the tiger. And love what comes,

Jena

This is one of the 4 tigers in my life.
I tried to activate him and he just stuck his tongue out at me before curling back up and
re-bonding with his favourite pot plant. I don’t blame him. It’s -6 and knee deep in snow outside.

On re-dreaming your life. Part 2. Living with joy

Jena Griffiths — Thu, 07 Jan 2010 14:47:05 +0000

I’m back at my desk in Switzerland after my first real break in a long time.

My son and I had a wonderful holiday in the bushveld game tracking, river rafting and
catching up with family. We also managed to get down to Cape Town for New Year and
a quick swim in both oceans.

Now we’re back to minus 6 with snowflakes turning the world into a huge blank canvas as
a whole New Year stretches out at our feet, waiting to be filled with life and song.

Incredible to think that every single snowflake is unique.
Incredible too, that in the bushveld there are over 300 different types of birdsong.

Each species is beautiful and different and each has a unique role to play.
And, what I like most: each bird sings not because it has to, but because it wants to.

We humans tend to forget this simple fact.
Each of us has a unique song to offer the world.
And singing it is our greatest pleasure.

My question for you today:

What’s your song?

If you’re not sure, your joy can tell you.
Your joy is your inner guidance. Are you following it?

This sounds so easy and it can be. If it isn’t, your hands can help
you figure this out.

My wishes for you in the coming year:

May you live with joy.
May you find your voice.
And, may you be richly rewarded for sharing your song with the rest of us.

It’s my birthday today! Suddenly the sun is out covering the snow with diamonds.

I’m just back from a long walk following deer trails through the forest. Now I’m off to Zurich to paint with Margie.

http://handanalysisonline.com/newstart.pdf

You can join us next Thursday if you live nearby.
If not, here’s a special birthday gift for a limited time to help
you find your voice in the coming year. You can find out more here:

How to build unshakeable self esteem

Jena Griffiths — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 21:36:44 +0000

Self esteem is the back bone of all success in life.

But it can’t be bought – for love or money.
It has to be earned.

How?

Not by trying to please others
but by being true to yourself and your word.

Think of your inner child as a real child.
Are you keeping your promises to this unique being?
Does it find in you a trustworthy friend?

Are you taking care of your own essential needs?
Are you helping yourself be all you can be?

Often we over-promise to others as well as ourselves
This is like a short term sugar fix.

We boost our self esteem temporarily.
Then when we don’t keep our promise
we fall into a deep dark pit.

The trick is to stop promising.
Wean yourself off the sweet fake currency of
over-promising.

Here’s Jack Canfield’s method :
Keep a note book with you at all times
and each time you make a promise
to others or yourself write it down
in this book with the date you plan to deliver.

This Saturday in Zürich I’m offering a mini workshop
on how to build unshakeable self esteem.

We’ll explore how this theme shows up in your hands
and what to do to build a solid platform of positive self regard.

If you’re in the area, you’re invited to come join us for a fun, highly informative morning.

Does your partner misunderstand you? (handanalysis workshop in Zurich)

Jena Griffiths — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 00:56:41 +0000

It’s crazy how easily we misunderstand our partners and loved ones simply because we have different communication needs and styles.

Sometimes we pass each other like ships in the dark, thinking the other person doesn’t care when actually this simply isn’t true. It’s just a matter of learning your and your partner’s differences in communication needs and styles.

This Saturday in Zurich, 10am to 1pm, I’ll be hosting another in a series of mini workshops showing you how you can use the information in your hands to shift your life up to the next level through joy and understanding.

What heartline type are you? And your partner?

Do you feel unsupported or betrayed? (We’ll look at this and other markers close to our hearts).

Are you scared of getting hurt again? (How fear of vulnerability shows up and what to do.)

What to do about codependency?

These are all topics that will be touched on during the course of the morning.

In the afternoon I’ll be available for looking at your hands more privately.

Predigergasse, Zürich. Jena's new venue for workshops and consulting.

For more information and how to get there, visit http://handreadingtoday.comJena Griffiths is a certified life purpose Hand Analyst. Hand analysis is a modern form of palmistry/non predictive palm reading.

Jena consults and runs workshops at Predigergasse 19, Zürich.

Are you feeling isolated in Zurich or elsewhere?

Jena Griffiths — Fri, 11 Sep 2009 12:29:21 +0000

Your hands are constantly responding to your thoughts and emotions.

This fact is extremely useful because often we aren’t in touch with our own deepest needs or feelings.

Your hands don’t lie, they simply reflect often unconscious truths.

For example, hold your hands up right now. Does your pinkie finger (also called Mercury finger in hand analysis jargon) stick out away from the rest of your hand?

Image via Wikipedia

If it does, this means you’re feeling isolated. The more it sticks out away from the other fingers, the more extreme this condition is.

Sometimes the little finger sticks so far out that it is no longer supported by the palm. This condition is called “falling into the ocean” because symbolically it represents a person toppling off the edge of a cliff.

If you’re a foreigner in Switzerland you might have this condition if you haven’t yet had time to learn the local language, if you aren’t working, or if you don’t have children to help connect you to others. Also, sometimes people feel like foreigners in their own land because they haven’t yet found a supportive group of friends who’re on the same wavelength as they are.

If you are feeling isolated in Zurich I recommend you check out ZIWA (Zurich international Women’s Association) or the American Women’s Club of Zurich or any one of the many clubs or associations in your area. Visit several til you find a group that resonates with you and your interests.

This Sunday 13 Sept, there’s a great opportunity to do just this at the Expa-Expo in Zurich.

The Expat-Expo.

11:00 AM – 5:00 PM
Kongresshaus – Gartensaal
Claridenstrasse 3
8022 Zürich

Entrance is free and many of clubs and companies serving the English community in Switzerland will be there. Come and meet me and find out more about your hands at table 27. I’ll be offering mini sessions on and off throughout the day. Also, EFT practitioner Laurene Schaerer- Lindstrom will be present in the morning to help you tap on anything that comes up.
