Book Description

March 1, 2000
When we purposefully change our handwriting, we introduce attitudes that can improve our relationships, give us the impetus to achieve and take risks, and simply bring out the best in us. This is because our handwriting is a reflection of our innermost thoughts and feelings. When we fall in love, survive a serious illness, or change careers, our view of life is dramatically altered and, as a result, our handwriting patterns change. Conversely, desired transformations can result from intentionally changing the way specific letters are written:

* Stick to that diet by changing the letter T.

* Avoid being overlooked for that well-deserved promotion by changing the letter G.

* Reduce stress and cease juggling too many things at once by changing the letter S.

* Overcome shyness or stage fright by changing the letter A.

Included is an enlightening assessment test that identifies those personality traits requiring attention. Your Handwriting Can Change Your Life profoundly reveals that the key to making dreams come true is as simple as putting pen to paper.

Review

Sark author of Succulent Wild Woman Vimala's work is revolutionary. This book will allow an in-depth rebuilding of a stronger you.

Elaine St. James author of Simplify Your Life Vimala reveals with infectious enthusiasm a wealth of powerful techniques that, I can promise from my own experience with them, will definitely change your life.

Christiane Northrup, M.D. author of Women's Bodies, Women's Wisdom [This book] is just plain exciting. I feel strongly that Vimala Rodgers is right, so I'm starting my handwriting changes today. I urge you to do the same.

Henriette Anne Klauser, Ph.D. author of Write It Down, Make It Happen Mr. Palmer, step aside. The Vimala Alphabet is ready to change the world. Vimala Rodgers is passionate about her topic and makes it fun to play along.

Bernie Siegel, M.D. author of Love, Medicine and Miracles and Prescriptions for Living Symbols are the key to communication. Read this fascinating book about self-expression to understand yourself and your ability to change.

Margaret Shepherd author of Calligraphy Made Easy and The Art of the Handwritten Note Vimala offers a fresh, pure, and striking alphabet to anyone whose handwriting needs some encouragement‹even those who are ready to give up. If you clutch and go dismal at the thought of presenting yourself on paper, you need this book.

Andrew Ramer author of Angel Answers and Revelations for a New Millennium What yoga is to the body-mind, Vimala Rodgers¹s work is for the mind-body. I highly recommend her joyful book to everyone on the path toward healing and wholeness; it¹s a missing link in the holistic field.

Format:Paperback
I have been a student of handwriting analyis for about a dozen-odd years. Handwriting analysis-- formally known as Graphology-- is known to many people, and is used worldwide as a psychoanalytical tool to give us insights into someone's personality. There is considerable scientific evidence to suggest that since our hand (and thus writing) moves as a result of electrical impulses from our brains, our handwriting is a very accurate representation of our state of mind, and the way we think and behave. Although still regarded as a "soft science," Graphology is now used extensively in courts, in the crimal justice system, by therapists and by employers.

Graphotherapy takes a "reverse" approach, suggesting that if a certain style of writing is representative of a certain personality trait or characteristic, then by changing our writing style, we must also be able to "reverse engineer" and change certain behavioral traits.

This book is NOT about handwriting analysis-- it is about about how modifying your handwriting can change the way we think, act and react.

The first half of the book provides readers with a general overview of various aspects of handwriting, and their meaning. In this section we are also introduced to the "Vimala Alphabet," which is the author's interpretation of "ideal" handwriting-- digitized into a computer font, but not difficult to reproduce with pen and ink.

The second half of the book walks us through the letters of the alphabet, one by one, explaining the corresponding personality traits, thoughts or habits associated with both the uppercase and lowercase version of each letter. Along with the recommendations on how to shape each letter, Rodgers also shows us a number of ways NOT to write certain letters, since they have negative connotations. At the end of the book, there is a brief chapter suggesting how to undertake daily exersises to help permanently change your handwriting over time.

The one (fairly minor) reservation I have with this otherwise noteworthy and useful book concerns the author's "Vimala Alphabet." I feel that it is based rather heavily on the assumption that everyone wants the SAME traits, and interpret the SAME traits as "what they should strive for" in life. Other works on graphotherapy put more effort into explaining the psychological implications of DIFFERENT ways of writing each letter, while Ms. Rodgers' book simply suggests that the Vimala Alphabet is "the answer"-- and the justifications for adopting it are a bit vague and not well explained. Whereas most recomendations are sound-- from a graphological standpoint-- there is a definite emphasis towards "extreme positive," rather than a more "balanced person" approach. This is the only reason the book doesn't quite merit a 5-star rating.

Final thoughts: Recommended (8.5 out of 10 possible bookmarks). As a therapeutic tool for self-improvement, graphotherapy provides an easy and inexpensive way to get a lot of value for your money, and Rodgers does a thorough and understandable job.

Dr. Christiane Northrup, author of "Women's Bodies, Women's Wisdom" highly recommended this book in her newsletter (visit Dr. N's website to read her recommendation). I bought "Your Handwriting Can Change Your Life" the very next day. I started out by only changing my "t"s. The book said the letter "t" represents what we do in the world, so I made tall stems and put the crossbars on top with a firm upward stroke each time I wrote them. Within 40 days of practicing this letter, I had a new and better-paying job. And as I immerse myself in the Vimala Alphabet it gets even better . If you're looking for a gentle tool to change your life in the most positive, powerful and electrifying way, this is it!

I've been trying to make the changes Vimala recommends, but I honestly don't like the appearance of her recommended handwriting. Lower case g's and s's are identical (basically an open-top figure eight). They don't even resemble the actual letters. Nobody can read my writing since I started using Vimala's alphabet. I feel like I've given this my best effort, but I'm not really finding this useful.
