[Avodah] Interlocking the Fingers of the Right Hand with the Fingers of the Left Hand

The  Zohar Ha’kadosh, in Vayikra (p. 24), writes that when a harsh judgment 
is  issued against a person, Heaven forbid, his fingers will unwittingly 
begin  moving, and the fingers of his two hands will become interlocked. As  
interlocking hands is a sign of harsh judgment, it is improper for a person 
to  intentionally hold his hands in this position.....
 

Summary:  According to Kabbalistic tradition, one should not merge his 
hands together  such that the fingers of the two hands interlock. According to 
some sources,  one should also refrain from placing his hands behind his 
back.

Given that I know almost nothing about kabbala, I really do not know what 
to  make of the above.  Anyone care to enlighten me?

If you don't worry about kabbalah you don't have to worry about  interloc
king your fingers.  It's like sheidim, if  you don't believe  in them and 
don't worry about them they have little or no power over  you.  There are a lot 
of things in the Zohar that most people don't worry  about.  If you are not 
Sefardi and not chassidish, leave it  alone.
