The fingers are the mobile elements of the hands, which allow us to make a large number of movements, handle the hands, grasp and be able to act with precision.
The fingers represent the endings of our acts, they help us to be precise in the details (execution, work, action).
Whenever we cut, burn, catch or sprain a finger, it is not by chance, but rather the release of internal tension.
Basically, if something happens to a finger on my hand, it means that I feel undervalued.
That something or someone makes me feel less about how I do things, how I work, how I handle myself, etc. And this of course, I add to the meaning of each finger.
The fingers of the hands, in general, represent emotional wounds, anger with myself, mental conflicts and guilt, related to my daily life, with simple and circumstantial facts.
The people who hurt their fingers most often are perfectionists; these personalities attach great importance to it and are very attached to details.
Thumb: It is this finger that allows us to take things well and hold them tight.
Thumb problems can express the feeling that we have lost control of events or the pain we feel for not being able to act or take control of a situation.
The thumb, on the other hand, is also a symbol of power, protection or condemnation. In gladiatorial combats, the luck of these depended on the thumb of the person who presided over the combat. Also in the Roman circus thumbs down meant leaving the man in front of the wild beast without protection or defense.
In our days we usually use the thumb to express a value judgment, when we want to show satisfaction with something we raise our thumb, or we lower it when we want to show our disapproval.
The thumb represents our will and our responsibility.
Conflict of devaluation because someone makes me feel less, in relation to how I do things, how I work, how I perform.
When we suffer some damage to this finger, it can mean that we are worried about something, whether it is related to our mother, something we said or even because we feel that someone is pressuring us to do something we do not want to do.
In the same way, it can indicate that we feel weak and need protection against what we consider to be an external aggression and that we also feel defeated and plunged into sadness.
Likewise, the thumb represents the mother, it is related to “affective nutrition”, babies usually put it in their mouths and suck it when they miss their mother’s affective food. It has to do with the sense of taste.
Index: My authority and my independence. It is the finger that shows authority, the one that orders and directs.
The index is used to point out, accuse, scold, give orders or to try to make someone understand something, it shows “that you know”.
It also expresses to us the way in which I submit to the orders of others, my way of obeying, my judgments and the way in which I accuse others.
It is the finger of our “Ego”, we use it to show our convictions, our point of view and also to issue criticism.
“I must justify myself in my role.”
This finger marks our strength, our character and our power of decision.
When we suffer some damage, it can indicate that we have had a problem with authority or with what authority means to us.
Perhaps we have lost our leadership, perhaps someone has subjugated us, or our independence and security are shaken. We are experiencing something that causes us fear. Someone is judging us wrong.
It can also show our difficulty in saying things, in affirming our point of view. They may express the fear of being criticized or judged or of issuing a criticism due to lack of confidence, or fear of the other or of “what they will say”.
It can also indicate that we are abusing a certain authoritarianism in our task or in our efforts to direct others or that our authoritarian tendency has been contradicted, or that we feel pointed out by someone who represents authority.
Father’s authority. Notion of control.
It is connected to the sense of smell.
The middle finger: Is he largest and strongest, completes the thumb in its grasping action.
It is the finger of inner life, of the inner government of things, and it also has strong ties to sexuality.
It is related to power over the other, with the pleasure and satisfaction of possessing the other, with the degree of satisfaction in our sexual experiences.
It reflects the most primitive sexuality, the most hidden sexual desires.
Problems on this finger could indicate the dissatisfaction we feel with the way things happen at that level.
Perhaps we have had a sexual problem, either with our partner or, some sexual issue affects us.
They may reflect difficulties in assuming one’s own sexuality because we seek perfection too much in this area, because we feel rejected in private or because of a feeling of guilt.
On the other hand, this finger usually tells us when we are angry or upset with someone. It is related to touch.
The void: The ring finger represents my commitments, my changes. It is related to the signing and closing of contracts, start or conclusion of projects. It also refers to moments of change in my life, change of name, surname, home, work, etc. It is the finger of union, of the bond between two people. The marriage or union ring is put on that finger.
It is related to the sense of sight. It represents the eyes, what we see really or symbolically. And there is a bit of a relationship with the duels that we live. If someone dear to us dies or something has symbolically died for us, this finger will be affected.
The tensions in this finger speak to us of regret for our intimate life. We are suffering for something or someone. Some sentimental union may be about to break or, we have suffered a separation.
They indicate a certain difficulty to unite, to unify our environment, to establish an alliance.
It can also tell us that something related to legal contracts is not going well or that some commitment that we are going to make is not good for us.
It can also indicate that we want to form a couple with values, bases and ways that are different from how we were educated.
The little finger: Secrets. This finger reflects family secrets and lies. All those facts and events that have been hidden in the family, because of “what will they say”.
It represents the dirty side of the family. The hypocritical side, the superficial, the appearance and the pretense of the family.
It is related to the sense of hearing and what we hear, really or symbolically.
When we suffer some damage to this finger, it may mean that someone in the family is hiding a secret from us or has lied to us and vice versa, that the person who has hidden a secret or has lied is us.
People with problems in this finger show a tendency to pretend, not to show themselves as they are, since they are bothered by what others think of them.
It also reflects our intuition, so if we damage this finger, surely our intuition failed and we feel betrayed.
Recommendations to recover physical, emotional and spiritual health:
It is necessary not to let ourselves be influenced in our lives by everything that comes from others and to see more for ourselves.
We must trust ourselves, and everything that happens to us, since it is part of our learning as a human being.
