Customer Reviews

For anyone who is serious about their personal growth

Not only have I read this book and her latest one as well (Your Handwriting Can Change Your Life - March, 2000), I have studied under her since 1995. She is as giving, intuitive, passionate, and honest about her work as she comes across in her books. Many studies have validated that handwriting is brain writing. Therefore, by making healthy handwriting changes, these changes will be displayed through one's personality. Vimala, however, is the only person I know who has actually developed healthy writing strokes that focuses on building character and making personal transformations.I highly recommend this book and her new book.

Incredible Mentor

I am unable to write such words that give Vimala justice about how her book has effected my life. All I can say is if one chooses to experience what the book has to offer then your options in life will become greater, your sense of direction will become clearer and life will become more joyous. Vimala is an uplifting teacher and incredible mentor.

A special path to self transformation.

A truly unique book! For many years I have wanted to improve my handwriting so that someone other than my secretary could read it; but I never realized that changing my handwriting could transform my relationships. This book offers a direct path to expressing the inner self and achieving peak performance. I highly recommend it.

It worked for me.

In 1998, I attended a conference where Vimala Rodgers presented on the topic CHANGE YOUR HANDWRITING, CHANGE YOUR LIFE. I didn't attend, and bought the audiotape. I tossed the tape into my Walkman with mild curiosity.My psychology background had taught me how subtly some muscle movements and neurological activity are connected. I knew how difficult it is to yell "Wow! I'm feeling great!" when I'm slumped over in a droopy posture. So, in this attitude of mild curiosity, I listened to Vimala while I was doing other things. Since I always enjoyed handwriting, I tried forming letters the way Vimala had described at her presentation, particularly the lower case t and d. I just worked them into my usual handwriting for the fun of it.To my surprise, within a week or so, I found myself thinking things that had not occurred to me before, thoughts related to the topics addressed by these two letters. I noticed that I began swinging my arms during my daily walk without trying--something I'd tried repeatedly to do for increased aerobic effect, only to forget to make the effort as I walked. That a tiny handwriting change could account for this stuff didn't occur to me. I began to write in my journal to delve into these changes. I observed that these Vimala-style d's and t's were the only recent change I'd made. Curiouser and curiouser. . .Then, I learned that Vimala was here on the East Coast on sabbatical; what do you know? She was staying about a 2 hour drive from my home. I sought her out, and it was then that I bought her book, CHANGE YOUR HANDWRITING, CHANGE YOUR LIFE. That so much potential could be packed into such a slim, graceful volume surprised me once again. I found its author to be quick to say that there's no panacea to be found in this work; however, it's a powerful tool--literally at our fingertips! I thought, "Can't hurt; might help."Vimala made a couple of individualized suggestions for my handwriting practice in addition to the suggestions in the book, and I followed her well-written instructions. Well! The increasingly empowered/ing new thoughts continued and increased. I dreamed in color for the first time in my life. The ending of a recurring dead-end dream changed into an open-ended, encouraging one. Believe me, as I write this, I have to worry (a little) that the whole world will consider me a crackpot. I only tell you my experience. No, there are no controlled, double-blind, placebo group studies to prove that Vimala's methods work. I know firsthand how hard it is to do rigorous research, and I know that "scientific" means "measurable". The results I experienced from changing my handwriting cannot be measured. I can't dispute that. However, to quote Dr. Irvin D. Yalom: "Generally, the accuracy of the measurement is directly proportional to the triviality of the variable." (The Theory and Practice of Group Psychotherapy, p.6). Check the literature for studies on anger, if yo

Extremely insightful

I am a person who, for the first 40 years of her life, couldn't keep from continually imitating the handwriting of those around me. I always knew that certain handwriting strokes engendered very specific feelings and emotions and I tried to use this to my advantage, but to no avail. This book was just the help I needed in showing me exactly which strokes were positive and should be reinforced for good character. Since reading it in 1995, I have been able to develop, for the first time in my life, my OWN handwriting style. This book truly helped me on a very personal level.
