Possible Buried Beliefs

  • “My hands carry what I cannot say.”
  • “If I let go, I lose control.”

Healing Notes

From the 2023 Emotion Link Reference Guide — possible emotional associations: each finger carries its own possible association. Thumb: insecurity, anxiety, guilt. Index finger: stability, blame, anger, resentment. Middle finger: sex, fear, anger. Fourth (ring) finger: grief and worry. Pinky (little) finger: family, passive-aggression. These are possible associations to explore, never diagnoses.
