What is Graphology? Grapho is the Greek word for writing, and logy means study. So, Graphology is the study of handwriting and it reveals personality traits through penstrokes. Personality is formed by a combination of genetic coding, behaviour, past experiences and decisions. The first book on this subject was written in 1662 by Camillo Baldo.
What is Handwriting Analysis?
Handwriting Analysis is a scientific method of identifying, evaluating, and understanding a person's personality through the strokes and patterns revealed by ones handwriting. Handwriting Analysis can reveal factors such as your physical and material drives, emotional characteristics, intellectual style, social behaviour, creativity, your desires, fears, defense mechanism, weaknesses, strengths, and much more.
How does Handwriting Analysis work ?
Handwriting is the mirror of our subconscious mind. No two Handwritings are identical. Just as finger prints are unique so is the handwriting. Our thoughts and perceptions have an direct impact in the formation of handwriting.
Handwriting is often referred to as "brain writing." Research scientists in the fields of neuro-science have categorized neuro-muscular movement tendencies as they are correlated with specific observable personality traits. Each personality trait is represented by a neurological brain pattern. Each neurological brain pattern produces a unique neuro-muscular movement that is the same for every person who has that personality trait. When writing, these tiny movements occur unconsciously. Each written movement or stroke reveals a specific personality trait.
Handwriting analysts identify these strokes as they appear in handwriting and describe the corresponding personality trait. Handwriting is like body language, but is more specific and is frozen for a more detailed analysis of our unconscious movements.
Grapho-therapy
Grapho-therapy is a specific therapeutic process designed to reprogram the personality through specific repetitive small micro-movements of the fingers, which in turn, effect the synaptic pathways inside the brain.
Grapho-therapy is the process of changing your handwriting to positively affect your personality.
Grapho-Therapy is one of the most modern and effective behavioral modification tools available today. It works for two reasons. First, neuro-muscular connections have a direct impact on the neuro-pathways to the brain that hold patterns of behavior. Secondly, it gives the subject a clear and visual representation of the change she is making on a daily basis... reinforcing the belief system and cementing the change in behaviour consciously and unconsciously. Graphotherapy works with the subconscious to make changes to those personality traits.It involves daily writing exercises that will re-program your subconscious.Each stroke you make means something. It connects to a personality trait, a habit, a way of being that is presently part of your personality make-up.
Handwriting helps in improving the academic performance of the school children? As we study children's handwritings, we can easily point out the traits of thinking patterns, memory retention , concentration, etc. This gives a clue how the child will be performing in his academics.
Grapho-Therapy is particularly effective with children, because their handwriting (like their character) is in a formative stage. This makes it a perfect time to begin correcting undesirable traits and tendencies.
We have trained many kids and they are changing their own handwriting to improve not only their legibility, but to actually influence their personality. "Sure, Pankaj Gangwani who is a Class 5 student is one such example where through our programme not only his handwriting has shown aesthetic improvements, but also increased level of confidence and grades is noticed," says his elder sister who is a final year C.A. student. Prior to this programme he was an introvert , lazy and shy . He had very poor communication skills. This 30 days handwriting therapy ( Graphotherapy) really helped him overcome these limitations also. A number of teachers have reported noticeable improvements in attitude, concentration and confidence in students instructed by our methods.
For instances:- If the child crosses the "t " on the left side of the stem, this means the child is putting things off and not doing things on time, such as homework, projects, etc. This is called "Procrastination". Making an effort to balance the t-bar will assist in eliminating the tendency to procrastinate.
Now a days, the work is paperless. What impact does it create?
Handwriting is also called brainwriting. Whenever a person writes it's a real reflection of his thought process. Even if it is a PAPERLESS office it is important for all of us to note that its not a HUMANLESS office. On a lighter note we all will agree that our Handwriting font is our original font.
Is it essential for schools to have handwriting experts to know about the child psychology?
Yes, it is very essential to have such experts who are qualified HANDWRITING ANALYST AND GRAPHOTHERAPIST. Many teachers today are showing deep interest in understanding the science behind the HANDWRITING. This itself is such a heartening factor. The science can go a long way in skill development of the child.
