Spiritual : Palm Reading

 

 Learning Palm Reading As A Hobby

       Our previous article on palm reading gave an introduction to this fascinating hobby with tips on getting started, different facets to palmistry and how you can turn it into a lucrative money-earner.  This article will go a bit deeper into the topic of palm reading. To give you a brief overview of what we’ll be covering, here’s a list:

 

Palmistry has caught on all over the world. In real-life applications, criminal investigations use fingerprinting for identifying individuals. By studying skin patterns medical researchers say that there is a link between genetic abnormalities and certain marks on the hand. Also some fingerprint patterns are related to heart disease.  So it is not hard to see why palmistry is a subject worth studying – both for recreation and for those who are serious about it.

 

Significance Of The Color, Shape, Texture And Flexibility Of The Hand 

In palm reading, it is not just the lines that are read – due importance is also given to the color, shape, texture and flexibility of the hand. Let’s take a look at each of these in turn. 

Color
Ever notice how a doctor checks your palms? White hands mean a lack of blood circulation. Pink hands generally indicate good health. People with red hands could probably be suffering from high blood pressure. Some people have bluish hands, which shows inadequate blood circulation. Ideally, the hand must be pinkish.

Shape

How is the shape and formation of the hands? Let’s look at the most common shapes:

  • A square hand – practical, focused on success
  • Tapering hand – artistic, enthusiastic, sensitive
  • Spade hand – energetic, positively inclined
  • Pointed hand – idealistic, impractical
  • Long hand – with knotty joints, thinker, philosopher

We often come across mixed hands, so you’ll be able to see the characteristics of those features.

Texture

How does the hand feel to the touch? Is it hard, rough or soft? Usually, those with soft hands are said to be sensitive and refined. Rough hands could mean tough people who enjoy being active with rugged activities.

Flexibility

Flexible hands mean a reasonable nature. Very pliable hands mean unconventional and broadminded. People with inflexible hands are usually stubborn. Also look at the thumbs and fingers. Sometimes the thumb is set low forming a wide angle with the hand – these people tend to be careless. If the thumb is set high, it means a careful determined type.

Which Hand?

You have probably wondered about what the difference is between reading the right hand and the left hand.  People who are right handed are more logical and left-handed people are more creative. Palm readers consider the fact that the left hand is connected to the right side of the brain and the right hand is connected to the left side of the brain. The left brain/right hand features logic, attention to detail, facts and realism. The right brain/left hand person shows intuitiveness and risk taking ability. Therefore, the palmist looks at both hands since they reveal two different aspects.  

Length Of Fingers – How Is It Interpreted?

For a palm reader, the length of the fingers indicates information about the individual’s character.  Here’s a synopsis:

·        Long fingers - analytical, academic, likes attention to detail

·        Short fingers      - practical, intuitive, and instinctive

·        Proportionate hands - balanced personality

Now lets look at each finger of the hand and what it shows:

·        Forefinger – ambition, self-confidence, self-esteem

·        Middle finger – discipline, balance

·        Ring finger - originality, imagination

·        Little finger - communication

Let us interpret different situations taking these fingers in relation to each other.

Ø      Forefinger is in line with the bottom of the middle fingers nail means a balanced ego. 

Ø      Ring finger is in line with the bottom of the middle finger’s nail, means emotional balance.

Ø      Forefinger is higher than the bottom part of the middle finger’s nail shows self-assurance. Ring finger above the bottom part of the middle finger’s nail shows highly emotional and impulsive person.

Ø      Middle finger standing out noticeably from the rest shows a serious nature. Little finger standing apart from the rest of the hand, means a bold, outspoken and self-sufficient person.

Apart from the above, in palm reading, the thumb, the nails and the fingerprints are significant. So you would need to know how to make a palm print.

How To Take A Palm Print

You will need the following:

  • Black water-soluble printing ink
  • A rubber roller
  • Good quality paper
  • A tile on which to spread the ink
  • A towel

Spread some ink evenly on the tile with the rubber roller. Now, spread the inky rubber roller on the hand to cover the palm the fingers and part of your wrist. Place the paper on the towel and gently press our hand down in its most natural position without shaking. The towel will cushion your hand on the paper. Very carefully, directly lift your hand off the paper without smudging any line. Your palm print is ready.


Lines On The Palm And Their Meaning

Interestingly, the number of lines varies from hand to hand. While some people have lots of lines, some people have just a few. Men have fewer lines than women. The four prominent lines you will see on a hand are: 

 

 

  • Life line

 

  • Head line

 

  • Heart line

 

  • Fate line

 

The life line is the line around the thumb and indicates physical health. A strong line means good health. A faint life line would mean the opposite. However, just the head line in isolation will not give a true picture. So please note that each line must be read in conjunction with the others to make a complete palm reading. The life line also shows major events in the person’s life. If there is a line branching off from the top of the life line towards the forefinger, it shows ambition. If there’s a line branching off from the bottom of the life line towards the wrist, it indicates travel.

The Head line begins from a point similar to the lifeline near the thumb, and goes across the palm. It indicates thought process. Let’s see what different types of head lines:

  • Clear – mental focus, strength
  • Straight – logic and pragmatism
  • Curved – flexible, balance between creativity and logic
  • Steeply curved – high imagination
  • Short and stops short of the middle finger - focus, but closed-minded
  • Fork at the end of the headline under the ring finger - flexible
  • Fork is under the little finger - aptitude for business or science 

The Heart line indicates emotions and relationships, begins from the edge of the hand under the little finger, and extends toward the top of the palm. If it:

  • ·Ends between the forefinger and middle finger - emotion and passion

  • ·Ends under the middle finger - selfish

  • ·Goes right across the top of the hand - interest in more of a mental relationship rather than emotion.

  • ·Is short and up to the middle finger –cool, interested in physical side

  • ·Ends in a fork - mentally and physically balanced

     The Fate line runs up from the base of the palm and ends usually below the middle finger. It is also called the Saturn Line, or the Line of Destiny. It can be fragmented, overlapping, or broken. It shows your direction in life.


Palm readers also look at other lines and marks on the palm like the ring of Solomon around the forefinger, the girdle of Venus above the heart line, bracelet lines on the wrist, relationship lines under the little finger the fate line from the wrist to the middle finger, the sun line from the wrist to the ring finger and so on. As we said earlier, all the lines are read to produce a complete reading.

In summary…
