The Hamsa Hand is a universal sign of protection, power, & strength that dates back to ancient Mesopotamia. Known as the Hand of Fatima in Islam, & Hand of Miriam in Judaism, it's believed to protect against against the evil eye & all negative energies.
The word Hamsa means five, representing the fingers of the right hand. For Hindus & Buddhists, it symbolizes chakras, energy flow in the body, the five senses & the mudras that effect them.
Each finger connects to an element & chakra:
Thumb- Fire element, solar plexus chakra.
Forefinger- Air element, heart chakra.
Middle Finger- Ethereal elements, throat chakra.
Ring Finger- Earth element, root chakra.
Pinky Finger- Water element, sacral chakra.
When the Hamsa hand faces down, it opens you up to all of the abundance & goodness of the universe, welcoming them into your life. Hand facing down also brings fertility & answers to prayers & manifestations. The fingers closed together is said to bring good luck.
