Palmistry

·          I took a workshop on Palm reading. These are my notes. It was a very basic class but peaked my interest in the subject.

• The study of astrology and palmistry began at the same time 
• It is a formal science, meaning anyone can do it without psychic skill
• The best book to use to learn is called, “The Scientific Laws of Hand Reading” by Benham
• Start with the back of the hand
•  How do they carry their hands? Are the loose, tight, etc?
• What is the skin texture like? This tells us where they come from. If it is rough, they are most likely tough or hard in character. If the skin is smooth, there is a chance the person may be sensitive. If the skin is yellow, there might be health issues such as jaundice. Look at the nails as well. See if they are well kept. 
• Colour: red=intensity, and emotional rage, pale=aloofness and introversion
• Be cautious when saying things that may be interpreted as negative
• The nails: Red over the moons may indicate high blood pressure, seeing more of the moon means a healthy immune system, blue nails mean circulation problems. If the texture of the nails is rigid, there is stress in the person’s life. Dents or white spots in the nail indicate trauma or a particular stressful time. The nail can read stress up to around 6 months from quick to tip. Where the spot is, indicates when the stressful time or trauma occurred.
•  Finger shape: If the first knuckle is pronounced, the person is most likely a reader. If the thumb is square shaped, the person is a stuck in the mud type, sceptic, earthy, stoic, material. If the finger shape is spatulate (wider at the top than bottom) the person may be precise, sceptical and practical. If the shape is conical, they are spiritual, creative and open minded. If the fingers are pointed, they are sensitive, intuitive, dreamy and very psychic.
• ·         If the thumb looks like a waistline, the person will exhibit refined logic, strategic thinking, and using mind over brute force.
• ·         If the first finger is smaller than the ring finger the person may be a bully. If it is larger, they may have a nasty temper.
• ·         If the fingers bend back, the person is most likely a flexible individual. They may also be  creative and go with the flow. If the fingers are rigid and don’t bend back easily the person may be stubborn, trustworthy and have fixations.
• Flip the hand over. What do you see first? Lines? Fingers? Etc?
• A long palm and fingers mean the person is detail oriented, has high standards, and picky. If the fingers are short, they are quick thinking, impulsive and last minute.
• Lines: Length doesn’t really mean time. Broken lines mean change
• If the head line is going downward it means creativity, strong dreams, intuition and moodiness
• The conscious hand is you predominant hand, the hand you use to write. This hand will tell what is most likely to happen. It is the external self, the self you show to the world.
• The unconscious hand is the internal self.
• If the head line is straight across the person is practical. What you see is what you get. They are ambitious and work to meet their goals.
• If the heart line is closer to the first finger then the person is a romantic. If it leads between the middle and first, they are practical and if it ends under the middle finger, they are sceptical
