Rings

I was looking up some symbolism about hands, and rings, well, because that's me, and because its significant.

"The left hand is the receptive hand, the right hand the active; the left hand the yin, the right hand the yang. When we place a ring on the left hand we are bringing into and receiving within our bodies and our lives certain qualities that are associated with the particular finger of that hand. When we place a ring on the right hand we are focusing on the creative and dynamic aspect of giving, sharing, creating, the qualities associated with the particular finger. With the left hand we receive energy. With the right hand we give energy. There is a balance here and both aspects are necessary for our well-being." (for left handed people, its opposite.)

Years ago, I slipped a gold ring on my thumb. At the time, it was a symbol that I am a Goddess, with a new life, a new way of looking and seeing things. It was important to me to have that, and I thought of it as linking myself to my friend who suggested it. Reading up on symbolism, I found a place that says wearing a ring on the thumb is a sign of self assertion. Didn't know it at the time, interesting to find that :)


I still wear the ring on my left thumb because "I am his."
I started wearing the right thumb ring
when he told me he loved me.....
"Because he is mine."

pssst.... I love you!
