Handwriting is a multi-expressive movement. The hand glides across the page moving up and down, backwards and forward, diagonal and circular. In this multi-directional movement the hand repeatedly returns to a point, the center, integrating the formation of each letter. This writing process mirrors the movement developing the mind-body. Multiple areas of the brain are awakened, allowing for different levels of learning to progress. With each letter formed, the writer activates and nurtures within him/herself the attributes and powers encoded within that particular letter. Inner harmony can be created through rhythmic, integrated writing.
In handwriting, the subconscious is given a voice, expressing itself in its own language through graphic symbols. Psychological and clinical studies have shown that harmonious handwriting and rhythmic exercises assist in restoring emotional balance and mind-body health. Changing undesirable handwriting patterns is a way of developing character strength, favorable experiences, and self-mastery.
