Is it essential for us to speak in order to communicate? What is really at the heart of communication?
Here is a rather amazing story of a special relationship that I found at Katie Freiling a well-known internet marketer. As she rightly says; “When you have empathy and understanding for those in your life, your relationships will blossom.”
The story tells us a great deal about communicating with empathy. Let me know what you think about it in the comments below. Read the rest of this entry »

It’s a known fact that we don’t always communicate with one another in a meaningful way. We often seem to talk past one another.
And if we’re not talking to one another there isn’t much chance that we would be listening to one another either!
There has to be a reason for a lack of communication.
One of the great things about graphology is that it can sometimes help us to find the reasons why we are not communicating effectively. And once we find the reasons we can move on to address the problems.
A study of two handwritings in a relationship can give us a bird’s eye view of what is going on in that relationships. It can certainly give us a good hint as to the reason for the problem.
And that I think, is one of the most important things that Graphology can do for us because the implications are significant. Improved relationships mean a better understanding among people in general and in society as a whole. Read the rest of this entry »

Now here is a bit of a non sequitur – call it what you wish. And laugh if you like. But tell it I will because I find it meaningful.
We were training our dog in fieldwork and I was required to hide behind a tree so that I wouldn’t distract the dog with my presence.
After about 15 minutes I began to feel rather bored. But then I heard a bird chattering madly so I looked up into the tree’s canopy above.
A little brown bird was chatting up a storm. He was going crazy and I realized that he was communicating with his mate nearby – warning her of my presence beneath the tree.
He was full of anxiety and kept hopping from branch to branch chattering all the while.
I wanted to allay his panic so I started whistling a repetitive bird-call.
Immediately the panic abated and within minutes a little bird – possibly his mate – hopped onto a branch just above my head and looked at me quizzically, head to one side. Read the rest of this entry »

Before the dawn of civilization as we know it, women chose their mates for their ability to hunt wild boars and bring home the bacon for the family bonfire. They chose the strongest, wiliest and most sure-footed hunters who they knew would be able to provide for their families.
Fast forward a few millennia and methods of “bringing home the bacon” have become somewhat more sophisticated. Take a look at Davos in Switzerland today. What are they discussing? Bringing home the bacon, of course!
People haven’t really changed that much. Women still look for strength, intelligence and confidence in their mates. Subconsciously they’re on the lookout for good providers.
That is why the process of choosing a mate has always been so involved. Suitors may not always be required to go out hunting but in one way or another they have always had to prove themselves.
History is full of tales about suitors having to perform difficult tasks before even being permitted to court their future brides. Many were put through unenviable tasks to prove their worth. Jacob had to labour for seven long years before he was allowed to marry Rachel.
The never-ending process of testing and choosing continues unabated.
Dating is an elaborate ritual of testing, preparatory to choosing a mate. Dating couples set crafty little tasks for their mates to get through while they are carefully scrutinized and put to the test.
Meanwhile, the grounds are being laid for “the eventual choosing”. Will they fit into the family culture, will they be able to provide? Will they make good parents?
But it gets even more difficult as more and more questions need to be answered. Does your partner have strength of character? Is your partner patient and kind or irritable and over-sensitive? Does he or she have emotional outbursts? These things are vitally important to check out if you hope to have a happy, long-term relationship.
There are many ways to learn about your partner, some more or less intrusive than others. But if you’re looking for a more intuitive and tactful way to find out if your partner has the strengths you are hoping for you could always check out your mate’s handwriting.
In fact, here’s a free report that may be helpful to you. “The Signs of Success” is about finding the strengths in your own or in your partner’s handwriting.
If you’ll give me your email below, I’ll send it to you with my compliments.
