Weleda Hand Cream
Have you, being a right-hander, ever tried brushing your teeth with your left hand? Or writing your name? Just try this experiment: Change your hand when doing a (theoretically) simple task. Unbelievable, what suddenly becomes a real challenge. Even stirring a cup of coffee suddenly requires your concentration. This small experiment shows how complex and challenging even everyday hand movements are: Whether it is tying shoe laces or chopping vegetables - our hands always do precision work. When it comes to learning how to play a musical instrument things become quite impressive. Practicing the very first chords changes on the piano really is a test of patience. However by practicing regularly at some point the movements will become second nature to you and you will be able to let your fingers fly over the keyboard.
Leonardo da Vinci was not a piano player but he invented some instruments on his own. Like many of his ideas they were far ahead of their time and could only be built centuries later. The universal genius was able to write with both hands - at the same time. He was also able to draw with one hand and to write down notes with the other. Yet there was one exception: For his anatomical sketches the adept had to fully concentrate on his drawing. Even today, most illustrators agree: Drawing hands is the hardest part. This is why numerous art students spend a lot of time putting hands in different positions on paper. Leonardo was aware of the meaningfulness of hands and particularly drew attention to them in his paintings. The best example for this is his famous artwork “The Last Supper“ that he painted on a monastery wall in Milan. It is considered the pinnacle of his artistry. During his Italy journey Goethe, too, was deeply impressed by how many thoughts, feelings and passions could be expressed in a painting through hands.
Da Vinci already recognized, that we do not only communicate with words. A huge part of our communication is nonverbal. Besides our facial expressions we particularly ”talk“ with our hands. Deaf people for example can communicate through sign language consisting of different hand movements. But also intuitive gestures are an essential part of everyday communication. They emphasize the statement - often unconsciously - or even intensify it. When two people from different cultures meet it often gets interesting. Because not every gesture has the same meaning everywhere. If we think that something is great we put our thumbs up. In some African countries, however, this gesture is regarded as an insult.
With our hands we tackle life - in the truest sense of the word. However hands are much more than just tools. They are a means of communication and you can tell from them how relaxed or excited a person is. Since our hands are used daily, their care is particularly important. This is essential for the hot summer time as well as for the frosty winter time. With the Weleda Hand Creams your hands will appear at their best in every season.
