Mystical Secrets in Your Hands
A Mystical & Practical Teachings on Reading the Hands
Hasta Samudrika: Vedic Hand Analysis
May 14, 21 & 28, 1pm-3pm Pacific Time
Online & Recorded
Your hands hold mystical and karmic truths. Each unique hand, palm and set of finger prints carries profound meaning that reveals the promise of your potential and purpose in this birth.
Within your hands are the sun, moon, planets and stars. Hasta Samudrika is the sacred vedic system of seeing these secrets in your hands, which are a yantra – a sacred device. In addition to being a resource of meaning and prediction, the hands can be used as a device to commune with the sacred through mudra and ritual that harmonize us to the cosmos.
While the whole body is a field of meaningful structures, shapes and symbols, the hands hold the most riches of revelation.
Sāmudrika Śāstra is a means of relating to and seeing structures, shapes and markings on the body in a meaningful way that reveals good or bad fortune. The entire body can be “read” – from your tongue to your arms to your eyes. But amongst all the pattern holders, your hands hold the most riches of revelation.
Reading the hands is used in Jyotiṣa, Āyurveda and Yoga to guide us in how to orient to our own good luck, by attuning us to the karmic characteristics that can bring boons in this life.
In her signature teaching style that uses mystical storytelling as the basis, Kaya will inspire & ignite your love of the hands as a tool of sacred divination & devotion.
Hasta (हस्त) - “the hand” which is read for symbolism in jyotiṣa, seen as the seat of the nādīs in yoga, and is commonly used unit of measurement in the construction of temples of worship in Vedic architecture.
Learn to look at your own hands and the hands of others to glean deeper understanding of each person’s unique potential, purpose and soul promise in this world.
This course is perfect for yogic seekers who wish to deepen their appreciation of vedic knowledge systems or students of āyurveda or jyotiṣa bring the skill of hasta into their work.
Kaya threads storytelling, oral transmission and direct practical application in this program designed in collaboration with her husband, Jyotiṣi and Hand Analyst, Michael Manzella.
Here you’ll find study as sādhana – spiritual practice – that delights you on your path of awakening.
Sāmudrika (सामुद्रिक)—the art of interpreting the marks on the body; palmistry; fortune-telling; divination of the body or hands
