Hand rubbing

Hand rubbing is a gesture that conveys in many cultures either that one is feeling excitement, or that a person is feeling cold. In Ekman and Friesen's 1969 classification system for gestures, hand-rubbing as an indication of coldness is an emblem intentional gesture that could equally well be verbalized. As stated by Hidden Significance, rubbing our hands together defines a physical action that doesn't show much importance, but in various cultures and spiritual methods, this little gesture can hold an in-depth symbolism.
