Handwriting analysis can often be useful in detecting malfunctions in the body, for there are telltale signs in the ailing person’s writing. We know today that although the conscious mind of an individual may not be aware of any particular disorder, on the subconscious level the brain keeps a record of all that takes place in the body. Just as it dictates the personality, so it reacts to the disorder, for it is always aware when something is amiss. If the disorder is repaired, it is interesting to note how the signs disappear from the writing as well.

But handwriting signs of physical disorder are not so consistent as those for personality traits. Diagnosing illness through handwriting is still in its infancy. If, for example, a man’s left foot is amputated, a gap or blotch may appear in the left side of the lower zone-but only now and then. A normal man would probably not leave gaps there at all, or not with statistically significant frequency. It is this frequency-not a 100-percent consistency-which the graphologist looks for.

If the handwriting in Figure 1 were superimposed on the stick figure in the above diagram, we would see that the top part of the upper-zone letters would correspond to the head. There are tremulous strokes and even a little gap in one of the letters-all in the same area, the left side of the top of the upper-zone letter. We can easily see why this writer should complain of headaches.

In Figure 2, there are gaps in the right side of the upper portion of the upper-zone letters. This represents the head area, but the gap itself is not located at the top of the letters, but is a bit lower down and here represents the eyes. This writer lost the sight in his right eye.

Figure three show s gaps in the center of the middle zone, which reflects the area of the stomach and crotch. This woman recently sustained a hysterectomy.

Figure four shows middle-zone gaps in the connecting strokes and in the beginning strokes (these gaps can also occur in the end strokes and have a similar interpretation). This area represents the arms and hands. The writer was in an auto accident and his arms went through the windshield; his recovery was not yet complete when he wrote this.

Most of the defects in Figure 5 appear in the upper left portion of the upper zone. This person had a stroke, which affected the left side of his body. If you look at the i in "failure," you will notice that the defect is in the middle part of an upper-zone letter, representing the area of the heart. He also suffered a heart seizure, and the damaged area was found to be on the right side of the heart.

Figure 5A shows the handwriting of Walt Whitman. Besides having other ailments, Walt Whitman was plagued by a bad heart. To cite only a few examples in this muddy writing (often written by people with poor blood circulation), notice that the f in "if" (first word of the first line) has a break in it towards the top, the fourth word of the same line, "send," also has a similar break toward the top of the d, the d in "Monday" (second line) is broken towards the top--and all these are located in the area of the heart.
