A boxer's hand

Image Credit: The hand represents the whole body in microcosm, And this hand-print is that of a typical top sportsman inasmuch as the musculature at the palmer base is significant being both red with activity, very firm and wide, This shows the considerable energy available, and is always the sign of a physical athlete.The heel of the hand known to medicine as the “hypothenar eminence” Is traditionally ruled by the moon, and this being large means affinity with water. The huge volume of energy available to the subject in this area tells us in high probability that he was a successful swimmer, in his latency and teenage years. The few simple line formations, in what palmists call “an empty hand” tell that the subject is uncomplicated, and non intellectual, as is typical with the mesomorph body type. The relationship of the body type with the psychological landscape, was initiated by William Sheldon, and this mans hand is an “elementary regressive” The building blocks of his persona determine that he is a man who can only relate through his physique, we see every day in our news papers the child like antics of football stars, who although physically developed are really just intellectual children.

Some years ago I would have to write psychological assessments for young criminals, for the courts, often before a prison sentence. These physical types would continually be in trouble, and regrettably social workers would get them into boxing as a method of channelling their energy, and aggression, and these men would then be trained aggressives, and would as a rule end up as Builders labourers, soldiers, bouncers, bailiff’s, boxers, and pub heavies. The latest statistics in modern Britain, say 1 in 4 young men will be in trouble with the police for drunken boisterous and loutish behaviour, now termed by psychologists as: “footballism “ Many years go at his constituency office in Woodford Essex, Winston Churchill told me that in peacetime, fighters and brawlers were a menace to society, but when war comes these violent criminal psychopaths were just what the country needed.

Reflexology tells of the foot and its relationship to the body as a whole, Palmists have since ancient times used similar techniques with the hand, and looking at this mans handprint tells us that the particular developed muscle groupings, mean many years as a boxer, boxers can make a lot of money, but they like this man, usually die in poverty. The British Medical Association’s figures suggest an incorrect cause of death in 50% of death certificates, and complementary practitioners of all types are in demand as never before.

It is often the rule that these strong physical men whom you would assume would be so passionate in the love arena’s, are strangely usually very placid, and cannot relate to other adults, but can relate well to animals children and teenagers. Several boxers footballers, and a top pop star spring to mind. This man is unusual because statistically the best athletes and boxers tend to be black men, but their dense bone structure means they are not good swimmers, so you rarely see a black swimmer. This hand print shows a superstitious man, a man who with the combination of square palm, heavy knuckles, and short stubby fingers ( brachydactyly ) this can often be the symptom complex of O.C.D. ( obsessive compulsive disorder,) and he was famous for his pre-bout urges to perform a series of complex rituals, comprising both mental and physical acts. Everyone had to say 3 times to him that he would win and keep winning, and his hands were chapped and sore from the anxiety of constant washing.The headline, is no longer a line at all, it looks in the print like a white blotch, being thickened with constant blows, and finally broken at 36 years of age, strangely in the month of Aries which rules the head, the white blotch, or gap in the headline signals what looks suspiciously like a sub-dural haematoma, leading rather quickly to cardiac arrest. Doctors have wanted to ban the sport since the introduction of brain scans, but punters say it would drive the sport back to the street corners as in the depression and the dark days of W.W.II

Thousands of pounds are wagered with each fight and tragically it often pays better to lose, than to win, the money angle attracts the gangsters, and they often fund promising young boxers who see only the bright lights, the applause and the pay cheques. And this keeps men in the ring long after they should retire. The London college of psychiatry have a study on Wernickes Aphasia, which links the neurological damage that give the symptoms, of using inapplicable words in a sentence, or constant verbal repetition, and the small vocabulary that often go with head injuries, which show in the hands communications sector. This formula brings several top boxers to mind. Unfortunately, television and films, regularly glorify violence, and parents send kids as young as 6 to karate and kung-fu lessons.

It was psychologists Carl Jung, and Charlotte Wolfe, who correlated that a non appearance in a hand of the fate line as in this print, was one recognised criminal marking , because its non appearance signifies a drifter, someone who cannot plan ahead, or keep a job and regrettably, pugilism and criminality often go together. The lack of the fate line is a typical marker in the schizoid temperament, which shows poor social adaptability, common among career soldiers, and boxers. Some palmists claim the hand cannot tell you your future, as the lines change,

But the lines appear on the palm on the first few weeks in the womb, and if changes occur in later life in the main lines, they are almost always of the secondary character, and at the line endings, relating to the emotional and intellectual infrastructure, not to the life purpose. The only exception to this rule is the fate or destiny line, which runs up the hand centre, to the middle or Saturn finger area, and this can change all through life. This mans life line goes on until his seventies, but is broken half way through. Pharmacokinetics is the science of studying the long term effects of drugs on the body, this mans enlarged knuckle formations, tell of the overuse of analgesics, to deaden the pain in his hands and fingers. Confirmation is found at the root of the index or Jupiter finger in the gastric sector, and in the poor health line, which rides from under the little or mercury finger to the lifeline, its collision is at approx 36 years of age. The heart line ( known to medicine as the upper distal transverse crease ) speaks of heart failure at the same age, and the life line has a gap at around the same period This mans constant need, for “one more come-back” “one more fight” Has cost him his life.

“like a river small at first, narrowly contained within its banks, and rushing passionately past boulders and over waterfalls, gradually the river flows more quietly and in the end without any visible break, the waters flow into the sea” This print was taken with difficulty, his fingers curled tightly into his hand, had to be straightened and tied to the sole on his shoe, for the necessary rigidity to take the print. That such a popular young sports personality should end his days in this way, is indeed a tragedy. The venerable Bede in the 7th century described life as a sparrow which flies swiftly into a great hall through one door only to leave, almost instantly through another. Comments (0)
