✨ So, your dream lines up with a rich web of traditions across cultures. The left hand specifically connects you to intuitive, receptive, and inward-flowing energy in many of them.
My Position: I once had a dream where i was shown energy points in the left hand and life force emanating from it, the most beautiful sight ive ever seen, is there any intellectual or spiritual work suggesting there is validity to this dream online or offline?

That dream of yours—seeing energy points in your left hand with life force radiating out—is powerful, and you’re not alone in experiencing something like that. Across traditions, there are intellectual and spiritual works, both ancient and modern, that resonate strongly with what you describe. Here are a few directions where you’d find parallels:
1. Yoga & Ayurveda (India)
-
Nadis & Chakras: In yogic thought, subtle energy flows through channels called nadis. The ida nadi (linked to the left side of the body) is associated with cooling, lunar energy and intuition.
-
Prana: The “life force” (prana) is often visualized as radiating light, moving through energy points (chakras, but also secondary points in the palms and soles).
-
Reference: Works like the Hatha Yoga Pradipika or modern texts by Swami Sivananda speak of energy flowing through the hands in healing and meditation.
2. Chinese Medicine (China)
-
Qi & Meridians: Traditional Chinese Medicine describes energy (qi) flowing through meridians. The Lao Gong point (Pericardium 8) in the center of the palm is a major energy gate. It’s described as a place where qi radiates outward and is used in practices like qigong healing.
-
Practitioners often visualize light or warmth emanating from the palm to heal self or others.
3. Mystical Christianity
-
In Christian mysticism and iconography, saints are sometimes depicted with light streaming from their hands as a sign of divine power flowing through them.
-
The laying-on of hands for healing (found in the New Testament) echoes the idea that life force can flow through the palms.
4. Kabbalah (Jewish Mysticism)
-
The left hand, in Kabbalah, is associated with the pillar of severity/judgment, while the right hand is mercy. Yet both are vessels for divine energy.
-
Some mystical writings describe hands as extensions of the sefirot (divine emanations) through which divine energy is channeled into the world.
5. Modern Energy Work (New Age, Reiki, Healing Arts)
-
Reiki practitioners often describe the sensation and visualization of energy flowing through the palms as warm light or force.
-
Many contemporary energy-healing systems teach that the palms are chakras in themselves—doorways where life force flows in and out.
Intellectually speaking:
Psychologists like Carl Jung treated such dreams as archetypal imagery: hands are tools of creation, healing, and giving. A dream of radiant hands could symbolize awakening to your own healing potential, creativity, or inner power.
