Gift Markings at Work

Gift Markings at Work: Harnessing the Healer in Your Career

There are more than a dozen possible gift markings that can be found in the hands.Today I want to focus on one that shows up time and time again in my readings. I’ve read a thousand (maybe more) hands in the past 8 ½ years and well over half of them have had a gift marking of some sort.

Gift markings come with a penalty, so it’s not all fun and games and bragging rights. My Guidance tells me that people with gift markings seek me out for a session because they’re ready to get out of the penalty phase, even if they don’t know that’s what’s holding them in place. Usually by the time they start their work with me, they are ready to get out of situations where they’ve “settled for good enough,” and start on the road to bold and big living.

Fewer than 10% of the population has any gift marking on either hand, so it always amazes me that a high percentage of the women who seek me out have at least one, but more commonly three markings! By far the gift marking I see most often is that of the Medical Stigmata, or Gifted Healer. (I’ll tap into the other markings in future posts in the Gift Markings at Work Series).

A healer gift  marking is found under the pinky finger and is made up of 4 or more vertical lines on the mount below the pinky. Take a look at the photo below to see the lines I’ve circled.

A cardinal rule about living with a gift marking in your hand/s, is that you are required to use this special gift in your life or you’re going to deal with the consequences. The consequences include living with a very uncomfortable (and often downright painful) penalty. It’s like the penalty is the “swift kick in the pants” you need to get out of your own way. My clients constantly lament, “I asked for a sign, but it’s like God/The Universe/The Guides are ignoring me!” As our session moves forward, and I reveal their gift marking, they recognize the penalty. That penalty – that’s the response the Universe has been giving them all along!

Now that you’ve gotten some gift marking background, let’s look at the Medical Stigmata or Healer’s gift marking.

Someone with the Healer’s gift has the extra special talent of holding a safe space for others to heal and reach their full potential. This can be in the form of physical healing, emotional, spiritual or mental healing. If you have this gift, you do NOT have to quit your day job and head off to medical school but you really ought to contemplate the ways in which you can bring healing to your daily work.

If you’ve got a healer’s gift marking the odds are good that you suffer from one or more of the penalties associated with it, which include:

  • Extreme Frustration when people ignore your excellent advice on how to “fix” their problems! Like when your sister calls to rant about the WORST BOYFRIEND EVER and you take time to advise her on how to get their relationship to work – and she does — whatever she feels like!
  • A sense that you’re speaking into a black hole whenever you try to share your true feelings – especially with your intimate partner

Many of my colleagues refer to this as the “personal development consultant” marking – and if you’re a coach it’s highly likely you have this marking on one or both of your hands.

While I can’t predict your future or tell you explicitly what you should do for a living, I can tell you that this marking indicates that you’d find fulfillment in a career where you were in charge of helping others to excel and reach their highest potential. You can, however, work in any profession with any gift marking, as long as you make room for the gift in your work in some way. There are many creative ways to use your gift, but here are some possibilities:

  • Consultant &/or Coach
  • Teacher/Professor/TA
  • Lawyer/Advocate
  • Social Worker/Therapist/Addictions counselor or Police/Law enforcement officer
  • Pastor/Religious or Spiritual Teacher
  • Hands-on or Other Healer – Chiropractor, Reiki Master, Physical Therapist, Massage Therapist, Acupuncturist; Herbalist; Aromatherapist, etc.
  • Sales Manager/Director
  • Psychic/Medium/Tarot/Hand Analyst

To fully express your healing gifts, you’re going to have to do your own healing work. The penalties are stiff if you’re not willing to face your own shadows and challenges.

Remember, your hands are mufti-faceted. You may have multiple gift markings, each with their own special talents and challenges. Your gifts are the special tools you have to help you live your life purpose, and they work in conjunction with your fingerprints, hand shape and various lines to help you align your career with your purpose.
