Guide to Finger and Hand Gestures

Human hands are delicate instruments. Hand gestures and finger gestures are excellent ways of emphasizing what we say... but on the other hand they can also reveal our true intentions.

Some hand gestures bring you back in a gulf of nostalgia (like this "live long and prosper" gesture... if you're a "Trekkie" that is!).

And sometimes a single finger can ignite you in a flaming rage!

Hands are great instruments to add meaning to what we say, and intentionally strengthen the message we are sending. But at the same time, the hands and brain are so connected that the hands act unconsciously, revealing many inner thoughts.

This section will explain what messages are sent with the hands, palms and fingers.
