Hands and Feet
Our hands and feet are so much more important than we
realize. They are the power connectors to our body. Our hands
have a huge variety of functions, such as touching, expressing,
feeling, holding, manipulating, massaging and so much more.
They play an extremely important role in who we are and how
we see ourselves.
Our feet control our balance, posture, and ability to move
easily. They allow us a freedom to move about and journey in
and out of every place we venture to. We are mobile because
of our feet. In truth, they play an extremely important role on
how we travel the world.
Hands

Thumb
The thumb represents our brain, strength of character, freedom of thought
and power. On the left hand, it is believed to be connected to our wealth.
Though it is the shortest and grossest finger, it is the most mobile. For healing,
hold the thumb if feeling worried or anxious.
The thumb is associated with the planet Mars and represents the earth
element, hence its thickness.

Index fingure
The index finger represents our liver and gall bladder. It is believed to be
connected to our strength, allegiance, ambition and choice. If our index
finger is longer than our ring finger, it represents leadership and taking
charge. For healing, hold the index finger if feeling nervousness or fear.
The index finger is associated with the planet Jupiter and represents the
water element.

Middle fingure
The middle finger holds a darting energy, which is why it is the longest.
It also represents our heart and purpose. It is believed to be connected to
our soul and is often referred to as the “God” finger. For healing, hold the
middle finger if feeling anger or frustration.
The middle finger is associated with the planet Saturn and represents the
fire element.

Ring fingure
The ring finger represents our hormones. On the left hand, it is believed
to possess a vein that runs securely to our heart - hence, engagement ring
or wedding band. It is also the symbol of love, relationships and trust. For
healing, hold the ring finger if feeling grief or loss.
The third ring finger is associated with the planet Venus and represents the
air element.

Pinky fingure
The pinky finger represents our digestive system. It is believed to be
connected to our intelligence, truth, and communication. Though it is the
smallest finger, it holds as much as 50% of our hand strength. For healing,
hold the pinky if feeling low self-esteem or shame.
The little finger is associated with the planet Mercury and represents the
ether element, which is why it is so fine.

Feet
Our feet are the anchor of our body. According to many metaphors and
symbols, our feet are a symbol of respect, reverence and subservience.
Throughout history, religions and cultures, feet washing and anointing is an
act of humility and love.
Our feet are a complex combination of bones, joints, ligaments, muscles and
tendons. There are 33 joints in each foot, which make them great mobile adaptors.
This means that everything needs to be working correctly in order to support
a healthy lifestyle. Our feet are the foundation of our entire body, both literally
and figuratively, therefore it behooves us to take good care of them.
Foot reflexology is the stimulation of the foot, for the purpose helping health
conditions, using specific hand and finger techniques. It triggers relaxation,
which reduces levels of stress and tension. It also increases blood flow and
circulation throughout the body.
Our feet are associated with the planet Pisces.
