The Hamsa Hand is an ancient amulet symbolizing the Hand of God. In all faiths, it is a protective sign. It brings it’s owner happiness, luck, health, and good fortune. “Ask and you shall receive.” “Knock and the door will open.”
In general this symbol represents strength, power and protection. However, it can just as easily mean generosity, hospitality and stability. The palm-shaped amulet is popular in the Middle East as well as North Africa and commonly used in jewelry and wall hangings too.

The Hamsa image has been used as a sign of protection in many times throughout history, and it is believed by some, – predominantly Muslims and Jews – to provide defense against the evil eye. The hand is a very famous and striking symbol that has been used in many countries for the past thousand years. You can see it in jewelry and art.
Over the years, Hamsa hand symbol spread to different regions and matured into an integral part of several faiths, mainly Islam, Judaism, Buddhism, and Christianity. In Arabic, Hamsa meaning comes from the five fingers of the hand.
If you look at this symbol you will also feel the energy of protection, peace and a sense of a strong, deep inner security. Hamsa in Buddhism, just like in Hinduism, is related to chakras. Thumb – represents Fire and Manipura, the Solar plexus chakra. Forefinger – represents Air element and Anahata, the Heart chakra. Middle – represents Ethereal elements and Vishuddha, the Throat chakra. Ring Finger – represents Earth and Muladata, the Root chakra. Pinkie – represents Water and Svadhishthana, Sacral chakra.
