Connecting People to their Nature: Jo’s Mission in Reading Hands

Jo is a professional hand analyst certified by the International Institute of Hand Analysis (IIHA). After training for three years with his teacher Pascal Stössel in Switzerland, he has just started his new career. He is currently based in Tangalle, Sri Lanka, and is happy to receive clients for individual hand analysis sessions.

Jo’s hands consist of an elongated rectangular palm and long fingers, the characteristics of an air-hand. He likes to look at the world from a safe distance of researching, analyzing, understanding, reflecting, and planning. The tented arch fingerprint on his left index enhances his mental qualities and brings a lot of thirst for wisdom, while making decisions and commitments particularly challenging. It also planted in his soul an insatiable longing for freedom, which led to a very nomadic lifestyle. He has never lived anywhere for longer than nine months in the past 15 years of his life.

It is further the root of his key challenges that can be illustrated by the metaphor of the captured elephant deprived of its freedom to the point of forgetting its own will and passion. While Jo might often know what he wants, he faces tremendous fears in confronting the world with it to make it real and tangible. Finding courage and a healthy trust in his own power is his most important but most difficult life lesson.

The nine loops on all the other fingerprints make him a highly sensitive person, easily overwhelmed with the noise and harshness of modern civilization, dreaming of an idealistic world where people live in harmony with nature. And they add a lot of empathy and delicacy to his qualities – ideal for accompanying people in vulnerable processes. Guiding others through their inner world deeply resonates with his life purpose, a loop in the outer lower palm of his right hand. It pulls him to contemplate the world of a child – the subconscious, the dreams, the fantasy, and the deep sense of meaningfulness that arises from feeling connected.

For Jo, connecting with our own nature, fully accepting who we are in this very moment, and reaching more depth in our being is the inevitable first step in reconnecting with nature as a whole. He wishes to contribute to a culture that sees again the interconnectedness of life and the sacredness of every single expression of it.
