Handwriting: The Secret Behind the Secret

Many of you in blogger land have heard of The Secret (The Law of Attraction), whether you’ve seen the movie or read the book. I believe one of the real ‘secrets behind the secret’ is at your very fingertips: Your Handwriting! Just as your strokes of writing are a reflection of the impulses the brain is sending down to your hand, if you consciously alter your handwriting, then those same impulses go back up to the brain and change the brain. It’s not a one-way street. It’s not only the impulses coming down to your hand; it is when your hand changes what it does to the strokes that sends the impulses of that change up to your brain. When you think about it, that’s got to be exciting to you!

Changing your handwriting can be pivotal for you to change your life. There’s even a name for this process: Graphotherapy. What a revolutionary idea that not only can the traits connected to the strokes of your writing can come from your brain to your hand, but when you consciously choose to make a different stroke, that impulse goes back to your brain and changes your brain chemistry, thus changing what you think about yourself!

Here’s one exercise you can try: Check the height of your t-bars on your t-stems. T-bars represent willpower: The height of a stand-alone t-bar can indicate the height of your goals. If your stand-alone t-bar is crossed in the lower portion of your t-stems, this suggests you can underestimate your goals to make sure you don’t disappoint yourself or others. Try placing some of your t-bars higher on your t-stems consciously and see how you feel. When you consciously place your t-bars higher on your stem, you’ll begin to perceive some subtle shifts in your ability to ‘shoot higher’ for your goals.
