the healer’s hand, also known as the shaman’s hand, is an ancient symbol of healing and protection. the image consists of a hand with a spiral palm and it is believed to have come from the native american solar hieroglyphs that have been found in a number of places in the south-western part of the united states. the spiral is a universally accepted symbol of eternity and in some traditions, it also symbolizes the deity or the spirit. when the solar spiral is used to the make the shape of a hand, the resulting figure is believed to be infused with therapeutic energy. therefore, the healer’s hand is considered to be representative of the curative powers of a shaman. . . . #healinghand #nativeamericanheritagemonth #nativesymbol #crossstitcher #xstitchaddict #supportsmallbusiness #indigenousally #mmiw #mmiwg2s #keychainsthatmatter #keychaincollector https://www.instagram.com/p/CHgqKbWHfcO/?igshid=1sgozg3tbojp2
