The author, educator, and handwriting expert, Vimala Rodgers, is my Elvis. I’ve had a copy of her book, “Your Handwriting Can Change Your Life,” for a few years and keep reading it over and over. I also purchased her kit called “Transform Your Life Through Handwriting” (which comes with a guide book, 2 CDs, and 26 cards). This process of changing your handwriting is amazing. I started practicing my new handwriting last year and swear I will never stop. The actual letter changes should be done in 40 day cycles as explained in her books. I’m not always doing a 40 day cycle, but I’m getting there. When I feel that I can’t commit to a 40 day cycle, I focus on how I’m writing my numerous daily lists and notes and try to maintain what I feel is intrinsic to who I am now - my handwriting.
The idea that someone could take a sample of your current handwriting and analyze it in order to create a psychological profile is nothing new. Neither is the idea that your handwriting is not the same now as it was when you were in high school, college, or in the army, for example. We’ve all changed the way we think about things with age, and thus we’ve all been changing our handwriting over time involuntarily. It’s not hard to understand how changes in our thinking patterns will show up as changes in our handwriting. However, this handwriting program is about going in the other direction, about making deliberate changes to your handwriting in order to change the thinking patterns.
According to Vimala, your handwriting is a map of your attitude toward life.
“It is a graphic representation of how you see the world, how you’ve interpreted what’s happened to you through the years, and who you are at the deepest level. It not only reflects attitudes you have about yourself, it also reinforces them.”
Vimala wants to be your guide. She wants you to express your talents fully and to live an inspired life. She designed this handwriting program to be used as a tool to unlock attitudes that will move you forward in life with joy and a sense of being fulfilled. Practicing her alphabet sets you on a journey to remove any self-defeating attitudes that prevent you from seeing who you really are underneath it all. We are not to judge ourselves in this process, for there is no such thing as good or bad handwriting (one of her “Five Noble Truths”). But there is handwriting that supports you, or handwriting that doesn’t, and her books explain the soul quality of every letter and how to inscribe each one in the most self-affirming way.
It’s hard not to love Vimala. She cheers you on to try her program all the while proclaiming, “Don’t believe me!” That’s because belief in her or her work has nothing to do with how this process works. Vimala points out how the action of changing your handwriting is physically making changes in the brain. She explains that your subconscious mind controls your handwriting.
“When you learn a different way of writing, what you are doing is re-training the subconscious. You are telling your mind how to think. The subconscious mind dictates who we see ourselves to be, not because of what’s happened, but because of how we have interpreted what’s happened to us. And as you shift handwriting patterns, you are telling your mind, ‘I don’t do that anymore, I don’t think that way anymore. This is who I am.’ ”
When you try some of her suggested letter changes, I promise you will be surprised at how your pen is moved by your subconscious mind. You’ll see for yourself what I’ve seen a million times - how you think you are going to write a letter in a certain way and your pen seems to have a mind of its own. That is, until you slow down and focus, and take command of your hand.
Remember, you’re telling your mind, “This is who I am.”
You can’t change what has happened to you through the years, but you can choose a different interpretation of what it meant. To do so requires an opening up to new thoughts and attitudes and your handwriting can do that for you.

I have been working with this set for a week now and not only has my handwriting changed, but I have noticed my overall attitude to daily tasks changing. Ms Rodgers has made this so easy to follow and I often listen to the CD's in the car. A lot of spiritual or self-help techniques become boring, but I look forward to doing my writing exercises every night. This is a well thought out set of work, which gives you many options to improve your life and increase the affect of the handwriting exercises. Ms Rodgers explains the history, theories and logistics behind the techniques with clarity. I have already recommended this book to several friends.
