An interesting fact about handwriting is that it originates from the brain when a mental picture of letters and words are formed. The brain then sends this mental picture to your fingers through the nervous system in the form of pulses. These pulses translate your movements with a pen on a piece of paper to form characters we call letters.
When a person writes something, their fingers do the writing, but their brain dictates how to write them. That’s why people can write using their feet and mouth, in which case the pulses are sent there instead of hands.
Handwriting is a means by which you express yourself. Its a record of your subconscious mind and a reflection of your character, personality, and emotions at the time of writing.
So what’s Handwriting Analysis?
Handwriting Analysis is a pseudo-scientific method used to identify a person’s strengths, weaknesses, fears, and defense mechanisms. It can help understand and remove mental blockages to achieve a more tremendous personal and professional success.
If there is a conflict between your conscious mind and subconscious beliefs, these conflicts will block your abilities to achieve or manifest your life goals.
But Handwriting Analysis is only one part of the process. After identifying your traits, you need to dilute the bad ones and strengthen the good ones. This is the second step and is done through a drugless therapy called Finger Brain Graphy.
How does Finger Brain Graphy work?
It works through the Human nervous system. Our human brain consists of tens of billions of neuron cells. Every thought and every movement a person senses activates a specific set of neurons, which creates a pathway. Memories are stored in the form of these pathways. So to change the way you do something, you have to change that particular neural pathway.
Since our brain is neuroplastic, it can be shaped and molded through specific writing input with appropriate frequency and duration.
The brain physically changes the structure, and growth occurs through the branching of pathways between brain cells or neurons.
Repetitive movements of thumbs and fingers profoundly impact the brain on both the psychological and physiological levels, altering a person’s characteristics and behaviors.
According to research from the National Pen Company in the U.S., your handwriting can give away clues about 5,000 different personality traits based on the way you space your letters, how you sign your name, and even how you connect the letter ‘o’ and ‘s’ to other letters in a word. So clearly a lot. A handwriting sample is enough for an employer to determine if you are good for the job without even going in for an interview.
Handwriting is the expression of one’s thought and ideas put on paper( or any writing surface) in written form. Graphology or Handwriting analysis is the study of this written expression. This study is based on the concept that handwriting is a reflection of a person’s mental state at that moment.
Handwriting can change over time as your physical and mental characteristics change. But genetic influence only goes so far. People whose handwriting is extremely similar to their parents didn’t inherit it they simply copied it, maybe even subconsciously.
There is a huge misunderstanding when it comes to what a handwriting of a person looks like. Because it looks messy or bad doesn’t mean much. As long as the handwriting is somewhat legible, a Handwriting Expert will be able to understand the stroke formations and decipher the characteristics. Some people have a bad looking writing but may have amazing characteristics that make them successful people.
Graphology is the analysis of the physical characteristics and patterns of handwriting to be able to identify the writer, indicating the psychological state at the time of writing, or evaluating personality characteristics. It is generally considered a pseudoscience.
The benefits of cursive go beyond writing. Learning to write in cursive is shown to improve brain development in the areas of thinking, language, and working memory. Cursive handwriting stimulates brain synapses and synchronicity between the left and right hemispheres, something absent from printing and typing. Cursive requires you to be able to flow from one letter to another without a break when compared to print where you lift your pen after every character. This continuity plays a major role in growth.
Right brain – left brain
In general, the left hemisphere controls speech, comprehension, arithmetic, and writing. The right hemisphere controls creativity, spatial ability, artistic, and musical skills. But since writing is usually a combination of many different aspects including visual feedback, motor skills, language and creativity, many regions of the brain activate while writing.
