Palmistry
No two people - or their palms - are alike. Our palms are unique, and our hands express this individuality. The palm reading offers just a small piece of the whole of what you can discover about yourself.
Palmistry is also known as chiromancy, and the name came from Greek cheir (χειρ), “hand”; manteia (μαντεία), “divination”). Those who practice chiromancy are generally called palmists, palm readers, hand readers, hand analysts,or chirologists.
Chiromancy consists of the practice of evaluating a person's character or future life by "reading" the palm of that person's hand.
By studying the dominant hand (the one we use to write), we can see our potentials including our resolutions to change and evolve. .The non-dominant hand reveals our past habits, including our genetic predisposition. We can think of the lines of the hand as a computer printout of our thinking patterns that alter as our attitudes and actions in life change.
The left hand is controlled by the right brain (pattern recognition, relationship understanding), reflects the inner person, the natural self, the anima, and the lateral thinking. It could even be considered to be a part of a person spiritual and personal development. It is the "yin" of personality (feminine and receptive).
The right hand as opposites are, the right hand is controlled by the left brain (logic, reason, and language), reflects the outer person, objective self, influence of social environment, education, and experience. It represents linear thinking. It also corresponds to the "yang" aspect of personality (male and outgoing).
Our palm has various "lines" ("heart line", "life line", etc.) and "mounts" (or bumps) Palmistry purportedly suggest interpretations by their relative sizes, qualities, and intersections. In some traditions, readers also examine characteristics of the fingers, fingernails, fingerprints and palmar skin patterns skin texture and color, shape of the palm, and flexibility of the hand.
The golden age of palmistry as a spiritual science began in India about 5,000 years ago with the Vedas. By observing the morphological details (lines and signs) of the hands as well as comparing the cause and effect patterns of both hands, experts can determine the degree of balance in our attributes of body, mind and spirit.
