Are our fingerprints simply biological accidents, or could they be divine signatures revealing who we truly are across lifetimes? In this episode, Christopher Jones takes us into a 21st-century vision of palmistry, the fingerprints, that weave together spirituality, psychology, and science. He reveals how the spirals, loops, and whorls etched into our skin may actually be portals of consciousness, tiny vortexes of energy where the physical body meets the spiritual field. Drawing on modern dermatoglyphic research showing that fingerprints form in the womb alongside the brain and don't change throughout your life, Christopher explores the provocative possibility that these patterns mirror the very structure of our consciousness itself: karma, past lives, ancestorial blueprints, personality traits, life plans, talents, our medical and psychological future. He explains how each hand serves as a hologram of the whole self but also the energetic blueprint of the human spirit through ancient elemental archetypes of Earth, Air, Fire, and Water.
Christopher uses the fingerprints of John Lennon, Jimi Hendrix, and Malcome X as examples of how their fingerprints declared who they were and what they would achieve from birth!
This is palmistry reimagined as a metaphysical map, a bridge between the measurable and the mystical, offering compelling evidence that spirit and matter are far more intertwined than we ever imagined.
Christopher's book 'The Palmistry of Fingerprints' is being published by O Books (UK) and is coming out on 27th January 2026. Pre-order everywhere, including Amazon, to reserve a copy for you and as a gift.
Christopher Jones
A chance encounter with a yoga teacher in 1983 led him to study handreading under the auspices of the UK Cheirological Society. Christopher was the first student to complete all the Advanced courses of study and came to run the Cheirological Society from 1989-1999 and was authorised to teach the esoteric approach to handreading from 1984. As Secretary, he corresponded with the major figures in the world of handreading and was responsible for writing, editing and producing the Society's quarterly 'Journal of Studies'. His undergraduate studies in Sociology and Psychology inform much of his approach to handreading as does his study of astrology and esoteric Buddhism. He completed his academic studies at Oxford University with a Masters degree in Philosophy and Theology.
An active researcher, Christopher conducted many original and pioneering studies into the significance of different features of the hands and wrote over fifteen study texts and training manuals for students of the Society. Many of his students have become well-known internationally and have had books published based on the approach to handreading that Christopher was teaching in the 1990's, including Johnny Fincham (UK), Talma Brill (Israel), Jenni Hirsch (RSA) and Birgitta Birath (Sweden). Many of his students have had successful careers as professional handreaders after graduating from his courses, some for over 35 years. He is the pre-eminent palmistry teacher of his generation.
In 2019, he established the International Hand Reading Association (IHRA) together with Lynn Seal and Felicity Booth as a professional association for handreaders who wish to practice an ethical approach to palmistry and chirology. The IHRA organises two conferences a year to foster cooperation between handreaders from all around the world and to pursue the aim of promoting hand reading as a serious subject worthy of the finest minds, free from charlatanry, fortune telling and 'prediction'.

The Burden
The Burden is a documentary series that takes listeners into the hidden places where justice is done (and undone). It dives deep into the lives of heroes and villains. And it focuses a spotlight on those who triumph even when the odds are against them. Season 5 - The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; “He paid me to do it.” David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a “live” investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was David’s claim of innocence credible? In Death and Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, “broke” her.” The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? Season 4 - The Burden: Get the Money and Run “Trying to murder my father, this was the thing that put me on the path.” That’s Joe Loya and that path was bank robbery. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. In season 4 of The Burden: Get the Money and Run, we hear from Joe who was once the most prolific bank robber in Southern California, and beyond. He used disguises, body doubles, proxies. He leaped over counters, grabbed the money and ran. Even as the FBI was closing in. It was a showdown between a daring bank robber, and a patient FBI agent. Joe was no ordinary bank robber. He was bright, articulate, charismatic, and driven by a dark rage that he summoned up at will. In seven episodes, Joe tells all: the what, the how… and the why. Including why he tried to murder his father. Season 3 - The Burden: Avenger Miriam Lewin is one of Argentina’s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp. Thousands of her fellow inmates were executed, tossed alive from a cargo plane into the ocean. Miriam, along with a handful of others, will survive the camp. Then as a journalist, she will wage a decades long campaign to bring her tormentors to justice. Avenger is about one woman’s triumphant battle against unbelievable odds to survive torture, claim justice for the crimes done against her and others like her, and change the future of her country. Season 2 - The Burden: Empire on Blood Empire on Blood is set in the Bronx, NY, in the early 90s, when two young drug dealers ruled an intersection known as “The Corner on Blood.” The boss, Calvin Buari, lived large. He and a protege swore they would build an empire on blood. Then the relationship frayed and the protege accused Calvin of a double homicide which he claimed he didn’t do. But did he? Award-winning journalist Steve Fishman spent seven years to answer that question. This is the story of one man’s last chance to overturn his life sentence. He may prevail, but someone’s gotta pay. The Burden: Empire on Blood is the director’s cut of the true crime classic which reached #1 on the charts when it was first released half a dozen years ago. Season 1 - The Burden In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. “The Hulk” was his nickname. Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers who all say they are innocent. They turned themselves into jailhouse-lawyers and in prison founded a lway firm. When they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away, they set their sights on taking him down. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they have a chance. For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But that’s all he’d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. “The guilty have gone free,” he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast. Welcome to The Burden.
